"Windows 10 support ends October 14"
Too bad i'm not in the market for new-to-me hardware. Ebay ( and a few others, and landfills ) is going to be flooded with cheap but decent intel/amd based machines here soon i suspect.
And bet prices will drop on some of the older ( but still good ) devices too. Before i stopped buying and went to downsizing instead i noticed the 'tinys' were slowly going up in price. But all of them are locked out of win11, so the 'unwashed masses' wont want them and i bet go way down in price by end of the year.
My guess is mostly landfills. Most people don't know how to deal with this other than the garbage can. Which is a shame.

Funny thing about that, just last weekend I was talking to a friend from my church who works for IBM doing exactly that - quantum computing research.
Turns out it gets done right here in the town I live in.
He said it's not hard to make it work in a lab, but everyone who makes announcements about how far they've gotten, all have no idea how to make it work *outside* of a lab. In other words, it's so incredibly unstable that unless it's surrounded by a team of brilliant scientists all the time, it basically disintegrates.
Apparently the accepted wisdom is that if someone says "it's five to ten years away" it means they have no idea how to make it work in production.
