They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine

Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.

I’ve come to realise at least half of the stuff posted on Reddit these days, especially more so on the popular subs, are all designed to make you angry.

It’s things like posting incorrect info in the title, posting a comic / image that’s been deliberately designed to get you angry, someone really wanting their 5 minutes of fame like this guy, or some post from some bigot.

It’s so tiring. Have started to notice it on Lemmy too.

Would be awesome if they somehow ended up using signal as a means to facilitate remote learning. Mind you they’d have to be very careful and hide it from any potential snitches…

I get what you’re saying and I hate that I had to write it like that. Was saying it to point out that Mac’s just aren’t as locked down as other Apple devices so won’t be subject to the EU ruling anyway.

The entire argument is stupid anyway.

  • App Store for iPhone
  • App Store for iPad
  • App Store for Apple Watch
  • App Store for Mac
  • App Store for Apple TV

I guess if this gets argued correctly it means Apple could technically get away with not opening up the iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch to accept other stores (Mac already lets you install apps directly from developers). I can see this still letting Apple continue to have the stranglehold over their ecosystem.

I doubt this will change much though. We all know the EU were specifically thinking about the iPhone which needs opening up.

Thanks,

So they haven’t made an announcement about retiring the proton bridge app yet.

I think I’ll wait until I see them actually remove it before I believe they’re locking us in.

I’ve just skimmed through the proton blog briefly and I couldn’t see anything referencing this. Do you have a link by chance?

That’s a bold claim. Got a source for this move?
