Just a reminder, as of this Tuesday, January 14th 2020 , Microsoft has cancelled support of any kind for Windows 7. No more service and security patches.

Estimated over one third of globally existing systems still run W7.

Microsoft killed support for XP in 2014, and W8 in 2016.

Honestly I feel like much more than just a good OS is being buried. The whole once existing freedom of the internet and the whole magic and fascination of the past 20-30 years and the creativity of users ion wokring with the unfolding computer technology and working around the many flaws and big sin it, seems to have been buried in recent years. They got intentionally slain. Last but not least by Western and namely the US govenrment. Once SciFi, quite some of its dysutopias are not just set to turn real in the imminent future, but already have.

Sometimes I feel as if I already have grown too old.
