I hate that webpage. Completely annoying and confusing and I got lost twice before finally dropping it.
Somebody has a link to a summarizing report or a brochure in normal textform, if there is any?

First major requirement is the presence of a recent TPM module, which is absolutely not required performance-wise, but only for DRM-reasons (and read that as "Digital Restriction Management").
Second even more arbitrary one is that they excluded all CPUs before at least Coffee Lake generation. Perhaps half of the PC stuff people I know to be running at home is still from the mid-2010s, so practically completely pre-Coffee-Lake.
And the IT infrastructure of the e.g. the German executive government branches is on average probably more in the range of 15 years old. A surprising lot of that isn't even fully switched to Windows 10 yet... (hey, at least we are increasingly migrating away from Telefax...!)

I think that is right, although there are similarly good ones, e.g. linden and maple trees.
But I don't have any idea how they would thrive in Scotland. Also no idea if you have oak processionary moth problems at all? If not: Go ahead, plant oaks!

I love that idea! Instead of planting scattered individual trees, just plant whole complex miniature ecosystems!

Although I wonder if oak trees are a good choice to include.
I mean, they are somewhat slow growing and at least where I live, every second oak planting recently seems to be regularly infested with oak processionary moths, a huge health hazard.

Wait...
Excluding half of the active PCs or so from upgrade due to arbitrary hardware constraints didn't push upgrading?
How can this be??? 😯🫢

Saying something like "It's only a tiny bit controlled." is similar to saying "I'm only a tiny bit pregnant.".
It does not work this way in reality.

What's in that bottle?

Who has lost their minds?

Well, a mindless, repetitive task prone to errors and a task requiring obscure knowledge ("d" as a synonym for dick... one of those self-censoring Gen-Z things?)
Nice to now have tools to solve these tasks and gain some time to do more interesting stuff instead. Lively discussions on Lemmy, e.g. ;-)

Good idea, I could publish a podcast and have a look on how it behaves!
So, just need to think of a podcast topic nobody is likely to want to listen to... hmm...
