The blog post doesn't say it was old. Did you misread So far, I have only used it a couple of times to debug old software I wrote long ago that needed some fixes ?
- uberman 4y agoSure, my misread of what they said. However they as you say stored it in a drawer under their desk and only used it to debug software written long ago. They also said the last time they used windows was version 8. I think it perfectly reasonable to conclude the laptop ran windows 8. Otherwise if it ran windows 10 the author would have said the last time they used windows it was version 10.
- tpmx 4y ago> They also said the last time they used windows was version 8. No, they say Windows 8 was the last version I used daily.
- smcin 4y agoThe OP didn't say it at all clearly, but reading between their lines they had used Win10, but since Win8 had moved to MacBooks and MacOS as their preferred daily platform: > Win8 was the last version I used daily. It was when I moved from web development to mobile development, which wasn't (and still isn't) possible to do without a Mac when targeting iOS. One day I decided it would be worth making the switch as I had developed an aversion to the new Metro UI of Windows [8] anyway. > ...never looked back since. I stopped buying new laptops every few months and got myself a new MacBook every few years instead. >Win11: ... "I already knew from Win10 that some diagnostics settings could no longer be switched off permanently."
