Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? (lemmy.world)

Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

I'm not familiar with MacOS, but what's preventing Adobe from updating? Is it updating from the App store and apple just stops delivering the updates after EOL or is it that Adobe doesn't bother pushing updates for OS versions past their EOL?

In any case, it sucks that apple decides that a otherwise perfectly capable computer is no longer supported just due to age (like with phones I guess...)

    The second one, you'll only be able to update Adobe on your old MacOS up to a certain version and then if you want anything further you have to update the OS to achieve the new range of supported versions. Unfortunately in a corporate environment you have a lot of moving parts and you can't just always update everything even if it's new enough to support it. Since projects and their constituent dependencies won't always be compatible.

    This seems more an Adobe issue than an Apple issue IMO. I don't know how quickly the HW becomes "obsolete" in the eyes of Apple (for example, what's the minimum time from buying a Mac to it not being supported?). If this is short, yeah Adobe should extend further. If it's 5+ years, I kind of understand.

    I'm not defending apple, I have no love for them, just to be clear.
