They won't give you updates if you have radeon software or intel config tool?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 39 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The article says it's only a specific Win7 version of VLC that's blocked, so maybe that's the case with these also.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 19 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Ok, so a newer version should be fine I guess. If that’s the case, the title should be: “If you’re still running these prehistoric software, Windows won’t be able to update“

[–] shalva97@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Too late. People in comment section already decided to install Linux

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

good

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can’t complain about that conclusion either. It fixes all your Windows problems once and for all.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But doesn't solve your Linux problems

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

😂 true

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But... clickbait and drama~~~

You should know people only read headlines!

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, and the headline is supposed to maximize the clicks, along with your fear, hatred and rage.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i'm still not really sure why this would matter. Does updating break that software? Seems like an easy fix.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That was a weird article. The simplest fix would be to keep your apps updated.

Although, in typical MS style, the error message will probably be either vague and cryptic or otherwise completely useless. If you stumble upon an update problem like this, troubleshooting it doesn’t sound fun.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

ah right, yeah, that part of microsoft, i forgot about that one.

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 2 points 6 months ago

Or software made by Microsoft themselves!
