Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoOk, I think I now understand the point of this thread. The implication is that some people might assume that these are brand new machines that will have software support for years to come. Even though, that’s confusing to me, as no new machine with those specs costs only 200 Euros. Like, that CPU alone, if used, cost 40-60 Euros. But IMO it’s still a stretch to call this a scam, as they are selling what they are selling. Can these machines run W11 right now? Yes. If the buyer expects something else for that price, it’s on them. The target audience could still be tech-savvy ppl who just need an older machine for simple stuff and W11 is pre-installed there just for convenience.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoWhat does it matter that Microsoft considers it piracy? If they got the keys for cheap somewhere, it’s a real licensed version anyway and will work fine.
I can order retro emulation handhelds from China and it will arrive with 1000s of ROMs, which is literal piracy, but that doesn’t make it a scam.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoNot officially, but I have, in the past, installed W11 on a computer from 2010. And it worked fine, all things considered.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoBut are you certain they aren’t new and this is a scam? I’m interested to know how you determined those are used.
Btw, where does it say “Nuovo”? I can’t find it. Is it not on the screenshot?
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoBut “e-waste” means something so outadet that it’s useless. Or unrepairable. Those computers are perfectly fine for 80% of users.
And are they explicitly saying that these are new? While you know for sure it’s heavily used equipment?
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoDo you mean you wouldn’t consider it a scam if it has W10 preinstalled instead? How much is MS Office anyway? I know there are $5 W11 keys all over the place.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoThat seems like an entirely different problem from the one being discussed.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish0·24 days agoCould you explain why you consider these overpriced/scam? If those use new parts and come with warranty, at least the top one, seems fine. Can you do a breakdown if what it should cost?
My Windows PC has i5-6500 in it and I definitely don’t consider it e-waste.
Isn’t that artificially colored?

They’ve got a lot of distros to try out, y’know?

Reinstalling Windows is a generations-honored ritual.
Nowadays there are several tools where you tick options and do it in one click.
Not if you like arguing.
