i deleted windows 10
Oct 14, 2025 came and went, and that was the end-of-support day for Windows 10.
While true Microsoft has offered a way to have Win10 continue to receive updates for longer, that's not free for United States users.
Given I hardly used Win10 at all, I deleted it.
Near my computer, I have a little mini Ms. Pac-Man game. Mine is the one that looks like a little arcade cabinet. I remember many years ago back in the '80s when those things were at Toys 'R' Us and I wanted one so bad. Back then, I wanted a set of three. A Pac-Man, a Donkey Kong and a Frogger. The set I want now has changed. I have the Ms. Pac-Man, but I also want a Q*Bert and a Galaga.
There is another one however that's much bigger to truly satisfy my Pac-Man fever.
Just for grins, I looked up expensive digital watches since I prefer digital over analog. There were two things that immediately stuck out.
First, with little exception, everything was either too big or too goofy.
Second, it turns out I already own the second classiest digital timepiece, and it's not expensive at all.
Under a week, actually. The doomsday date official support ends for Windows 10 is 14-Oct-2025.
Even though I have Windows 11 installed on my other computer, I still have an SSD that I kept with a full install of Win10 on it.
Why?
I think this is either due to either my upbringing, being middle aged, being set in my ways, having a general annoyance with useless modern "features", or a combination of all of that.
I drive a car that's over 15 years old that has a manual transmission. My main computer is over a decade old and runs Linux. I wear basic LCD panel digital watches (I'm favoring the WS1600H as of late). I use a Garmin for navigation and not my phone. I shave with a safety razor.
Is there anything I use that's current?
