That sucks
Wonder if they’ll release the CAD files?
The support is just security updates, which all that Windows 10 has been getting since October 2025. These updates are what makes it remotely safe to use the system online.
This is a good thing.
Prefetch / Superfetch may represent a portion of that usage.
Really depends on what you’re trying to do. Done a few budget builds for folks who were attached to Windows but don’t multitask.
Someone who keeps their activities limited to one browser tab and one document/spreadsheet can get by just fine on 8GB.
Might seem very restrictive to most of us, especially here on Lemmy, but there are people who live their lives just like this.
Also, bit cheeky of Microsoft to do this right as they’re introducing new Surfaces with 8GB at what used to be the 16GB model’s price point, lol.
Folks encountering issues with streaming often don’t have the host PC connected via ethernet while the client should be on WiFi
Only if the CPU and motherboard support quad-channel memory, which is usually only found on High End Desktop platforms. Even the high end consumer CPUs you might consider for a new build - like a Ryzen 9 9950X3D or Intel Core Ultra 9 285K - are limited to dual channel.
In Ryzen’s case, the officially supported memory bandwidth is reduced when you populate 4 modules. For the aforementioned 9950X3D, you’re guaranteed support for 5600Mhz with two modules and that drops down to 3600Mhz with four. Whether or not you actually have issues will depend on the properties of the unique CPU you end up with / silicon lottery.
Why would anyone care what hardware another player is using?
In 2026, Xbox makes way more sense as a games marketplace / publishing platform. I’d love to see the console aspect evolve to something like the Steam Machine, shipping with Microsoft’s software out of the box but with the openness / flexibility to install other OSes if the user so chooses.
Cost to performance ratio of “upgrading” to dual-channel doesn’t really make sense.
Seems like the actual difference in gaming performance is negligible in all but a few edge cases.
