Phil Holes are usually formed at CNC, before metal bending. Then passivation, then insertion. To insert before passivation, you'd need either stainless or compatible metal chemistry, unless you permit visible discoloration. Messy. Which is the more likely Phil com? 'you know, on second thought, there's nothing to worry about, sorry for wasting your time with this.' or 'I really don't want an answer to this question, so piss off.' RL |

I've heard that TPM will be required for Windows 11, which will brick a lot of hardware... https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-is-tpm/ Me personally, I'll hold onto my perfect working Windows 7 system that I built in 2015, and I think I'll try Linux when it becomes less than functional. I don't have a qualm with Macs, other than I'm not a fan personally. I wouldn't trust Google/Chrome as far as I could throw it. |

By 2025 there probably will not be many of those left... In business use Windows has become nearly redundant already, as more and more applications are being moved to the cloud and are being accessed via an internet browser. Maybe for personal use and gaming there is still some place for Windows, although many gaming programs already exist cross-platform. |

TPM 2.0 is required. TPM 1.2 won't work. That means any machine earlier than 2016 might not run Windoze 11. I hadn't heard that it bricks hardware. Nothing in the article you cited below. What's your source for that information? >https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-is-tpm/ Some of the other Win 11 requirements are going to be a problem for me and my customers: <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications> None of my Windoze 10 machines support TPM 2.0. Rumor has it that the Intel CPU needs to be 8th generation or higher. I can't really tell from the published list of approved processors: <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements> So, I get to buy all new hardware for myself and most of my customers. An internet connection and a Microsoft login/password is required for Win 11 Home. No clue on Win 11 Pro, or other mutations. That requirement alone is sufficient for me to stay with Windoze 10 or look for an alternative. >built in 2015, and I think I'll try Linux when it becomes less than >functional.

However, in order to stay in business, I have to use whatever my customers are using, which means Windoze 10 and possibly 11. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Nothing in the article you > cited below. What's your source for that information? "Bricked" was a poor choice of wording. What I should have said was "hardware that isn't TPM 2.0 compatible will be useless with Windows 11 (useless = bricked) > I've been slowly moving my home stuff over to Linux Mint Cinnamon. > However, in order to stay in business, I have to use whatever my > customers are using, which means Windoze 10 and possibly 11. That's a fair point, when running a business, I could understand that. Myself, I only use if for home/recreational purposes. With how little I use my computer for, if I really wanted to, I could still use a Windows XP machine (not that I would). The main issue being that several websites now might not be compatible with the latest XP supported browser. |
