There is a slight difference between teaching kids that guns are dangerous and teaching kids how to use them.

You can also totally teach kids the dangers of car traffic without having them drive one.

Well, or just convert to e.g. protestantism (I am seriously considering that due to various reasons).
No new Schism needed if the outcomes of the previous one is still good :-)

what is needed to run win 11.

And that would be?
x86 processors are fairly standardized, I don't see anything that could be the reason for such exclusions..?

There are a lot of people of color dying in gun related accidents. That's what we were talking about...

Well there is a big difference between switching the CPU architecture altogether and just arbitrarily declaring a slightly older CPU with the exact same instruction set to be "outdated".
Also, the customer profile of Apple users and Windows users is somewhat different. You won't find a lot of Macs at normal peoples homes in e.g. Indonesia...

How about doing something about the guns lying around on shelves instead?
And how is that underlying problem different for people of color?

That's a valid point, I sadly might be prejudiced here by my upbringing.

Well, we are talking about half the active PCs still running Windows 10 instead of Windows 11.
That's a lot more than just the few "I don't care"-people.

Instead it consist mainly of the "I don't have the means" people, that don't have the Hardware required to upgrade and also not the money to quickly change that.

Microsoft screwed up here. There simple was no need to demand such harsh hardware requirements and especially no need to enforce them that hard.

Catching up with the member base and following a more open Christian vision instead of bigotry? Sounds good.

Is that so? Or is that just a correlation?
So, ultra-conservatives being LGBTQ haters and incidentally also having a high probability of being Christian?
That would put the implied causality in question. I personally don't like such generalizations. That's what the right-wing agitators are doing and I really don't want to decent to such a level myself.

Yeah, that part doesn't make sense.
And aren't Latinos the standard scapegoats in the US?
Projecting hate on Muslim foreigners I would consider to be more a European thing?

I agree that would have been the sensible way to go... Together with an "Install at your own risk" message when trying to upgrade a PC containing an older CPU...
I really don't know what their reasoning is to enforce the requirements so hard for everyone.
