While I was working late yesterday, the PC kept prompting me to restart because of some updates. Then there was a warning sign there that says my system cannot support Windows 11.
Then I checked…The minimum for Windows 11 as far as Core i5 goes is 8th Gen and as you can see mine is 5th Gen. So that means I only have three more years to run this perfectly working gaming laptop on Windows 10 before Microsoft pulls the plug on the support for its old OS. Then I will have to turn this into a Linux machine. I have three years to decide whether I would want to still run Windows (for seamless integration with my company’s system) so that means I have to buy a new laptop or desktop setup or work again with Linux using this machine. The bad thing here is there are some backend stuff by my company that can only be run on Microsoft Edge. Super annoying.
In three years, hopefully the tight supply of computer chips will no longer be a problem and the supply chain for tech will only a memory.
Today I just want to do easy food because I’m lazy. After working my butt off on that problematic story I’ve been chasing the entire week, I guess I deserve a lazy day, no?
My cat seems to agree that we have the license to be lazy today.
I went out and bought some medicines from Mercury and I am now inexplicably tired. Maybe because I didn’t take a nap today at midday. Will have an early night tonight.
