       @probnot @themaritimegirl If the AI bubble doesn't burst before then, then the Windows 10 deadline may be extended even further, as AI data centers are gobbling up all the hardware and driving new PC prices insane. Uncertain times make for an uncertain future... remember that the 2008 recession and subsequent bloom of underpowered netbooks extended XP's life considerably.
