This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Microsoft is already trying hard. My poor mom did not notice all her files are on OneDrive. Now she has two laptops with everything remote on OneDrive. It's has some advantages, but it's annoying in so many more ways.
It's not annoying at all. It's peace of mind. People are just not used to it
Nah, fuck off. The cloud is a place you don't have any control over. I remember getting angry when Windows 10 LTSC got an update that added an online backup system. I do not pay them to take a copy of my important work and documents, they should pay me for that privileges. Furthermore, it's an absolute disgrace to see that on an LTSC copy to begin with, it's meant to be the barebones OS that you purchase at a premium for minimal updates and changes as well as extended service lifespan.
Fuck OneDrive, I store locally and I make local backups. What I own is mine without exception.
Get windows 10 iot ltsc, it won't do that
Press X to Doubt
Eww, Internet of Things, so Gross, why don't I just install a real bridge next to the drawbridge over the moat around my house? Welcome all the attackers in!
I didn't think this would be controversial, but apparently it isn't widely known. Win10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021 is a version that gets security support until 2032 but will not receive feature updates, ads or any other those things. It's essentially what windows should be.
Here is my source: https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links.html
That's exactly the same as what Windows 10 LTSC claims to be, except with IoT included. They're virtually the same product.
Nope:
I went ahead and checked and yes the IoT service date for LTSC Enterprise 2021 is further out by about 5 years, but it's a but of a stretch to say that makes it "better" given the added unnecessary vulnerabilities.
