But the Get Windows 10 app will not let me proceed, instead telling me that NVIDIA has not made the GPU compatible and giving a link to shop for a new PC. Should I take a screenshot? Is there a recommended half-height discrete GPU to use instead of the integrated one? (Because the case is compact, a full-height GPU will not fit.) Should I follow the instructions in this thread to create USB install media? Or should I just leave that PC at Windows 7 and then attempt to Linux it once Windows 7 reaches end of extended support in a few years?
Beginning January 12, 2016, only the most current version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support and security updates, as shown in the table below: [...] Windows Vista SP2: Internet Explorer 9 Windows Server 2008 SP2: Internet Explorer 9 Windows Embedded POSReady 2009: Internet Explorer 8
So yes, IE 9 security updates will continue. So will IE 8 updates for those Windows XP users who have applied the "Piece of $#!+ Ready" registry hack.
If Windows 10 supports video drivers from Windows 7, then why does the Get Windows 10 app on my Acer Aspire X1 PC running Windows 7 say the integrated GPU in the PC's nForce chipset is incompatible with Windows 10?
If you're referring to some pipe dream of preventing users from recording the video you're fooling yourself.
Companies that are fooling themselves still control the exclusive rights to feature films that end users demand. They contractually require Netflix and other licensees to play along with the fooling.
But not for Flash Player, which vector animation sites such as Newgrounds still require. And not for the digital restrictions management components, which streaming sites that lawfully carry major studio films still require. And not for the patented audiovisual decoders (H.264, AAC, and MP3), which Safari-compatible sites hosting audio or video still require because Apple, as a member of the MPEG-LA carte^W patent pool, has made a business decision not to offer hooks for third parties to support WebM in its browser.
The default should be x86-64 unless there is a specific software/driver/whatever that doesn't work properly in that configuration
A 64-bit ABI makes pointers twice as big, which can increase memory consumption on devices with less than 4 GB of RAM and increase data cache capacity misses on any machine. The impact of this depends on the extent to which a program uses pointer-heavy data structures.
I mean, the last time anyone sold processors that didn't support was the Pentium 4, sometime a decade ago. Given Moore's law (and the rising price of electricity), you could replace that with a RaspberryPI of equivalent horsepower that will probably pay itself back in power in under a year
Not after you include the power cost of emulating x86 on ARM for applications to which you lack source code, such as applications running in Wine.
To anthropomorphize them because that's the way your brain works is a serious error.
It's called "colloquial language", and it appears to have got the point across to most other readers. But if you insist on discussing the process more formally in terms of "matching bits":
The PRI request method matches none of the methods in a pre-HTTP/2.0 server's list of acceptable methods. This causes the server to write a response that does not match the HTTP/2.0 upgrade pattern, even if the server's matching of the protocol version bits is incorrect. When the response fails to match at the client, the client switches to HTTP/1.1.
The use of a new request method (PRI) makes HTTP/1.x servers more likely to (correctly) reject the connection attempt so that the client can cleanly fall back to 1.1.
Without a PC, how should one find the money to buy a car to commute back and forth to the library to find a job?
its not that hard even part time after school for a child to save up 60 bucks
It is under child labor laws, which end up entirely banning children under 16 from at least one of the essential duties of each of most service sector occupations that I have researched. In Indiana, someone under 16 can't do any job in a restaurant other than server/cashier, for example, and a lot of fast food chains require even cashiers to be 16 to allow for training for other positions in the restaurant. Lawn care is allowed from 12 but works only for the first enterprising kid on the block, not the second.
Is there always going to be enough "rake / mow oddjob" work for all the kids on the block? Remember that "rake / mow oddjob" on your own parents' house is done for your own room and board.

Why hack a PS4 to run homebrew when you can just build a comparable AMD PC?

What's the difference between the smiling face at 01h in cp437 and emojis?
In practice, what's better than JavaScript+HTML+CSS, other than duplicating the effort 14 times by writing native apps for 14 different platforms?
If your shirt is long enough, who needs pants anyway?
Which computer, and which operating system? As I wrote above, Microsoft is still supporting IE 9 on Windows Vista.
From Internet Explorer Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ, linked in the featured article:
So yes, IE 9 security updates will continue. So will IE 8 updates for those Windows XP users who have applied the "Piece of $#!+ Ready" registry hack.
The Debian project and Canonical build Chromium. The only features that would disappear are Flash, patented codecs, and DRM.
How does one "kill the Windows" on a Windows server without interrupting the availability of ASP.NET apps that run on said server?

The source is still available for Chromium

I'm not sure one of the examples you chose is the best:
A company is in the business where they get their revenues.
And Amazon Web Services gets its revenues from leasing resources to customers willing to run their software on someone else's computer.
calling Google a tech company is just as ridiculous as calling Amazon a tech company
I don't follow. Is AWS not "tech"? Or does revenue from Marketplace commissions and FBA services outweigh AWS revenue?
Support for PPAPI can be compiled in Chromium, and if a suitable separate binary is provided, you get working flash version 19.
I take this announcement to mean that Google and Adobe will no longer produce "a suitable separate binary" of Flash Player for 32-bit Linux.
It's ridiculous that in 2015 someone is selling a video service where you can't just use whatever player you want to.
Then what non-ridiculous method of conditional access to video would be acceptable to the companies that fund production of feature films?

microaggressive behavior
What, as in it'd take a million of them to cause even one real problem?

There haven't been tacos on Slashdot since Mr. Malda left four years ago.
A stranger can wipe a normal laptop to which he has physical access. But only Chrome OS in developer mode encourages any random stranger to do so.
In other words, you won't be satisfied until you see a proof of concept. I'll put that on my list.
Then what PC should one use to search for a job?
easy the one at the library

Well, why doesn't it just say "play"? If the play button is international, you can put localized text underneath it.
It's not so easy if the play button is physical, such as on a portable CD player or a DVD remote, as opposed to an icon on the screen.
