According to The Verge, they may block security updates if you install manually through the ISO, so that's a no go for me: https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/28/22

- shados 5y agoOk, if that's true, I'm back to raging about how absolutely ridiculous this is. Why obsolete a computer that can still run almost anything on high-ish settings @.@ Because there's 0.01% more crash or whatever....

- numpad0 5y agoI’m speculating it was supposed to let them drop Meltdown patches. Doing so easily creates “20% performance gain over Windows 10 on same machine”. Aligns with the statement that they “block” “security” updates. But this is clearly coming from someone who’s not actively in coding role and without consultation with developers, as some of CPUs(namely Ryzen 2k) to be supported don’t have the required but not very well debugged features(MBEC for Zen 2 - Ryzen 3k and up with luck).
- dataflow 5y agoI don't think 7820HQ has more resistance to Meltdown than 7700HQ. In fact TSX-NI might make it worse. Yet they allow the former but not the latter.

- numpad0 5y agoThere is the path that that could be TRUE, and the path that that could be FALSE :p
