This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

  1. Press X to Doubt

  2. Eww, Internet of Things, so Gross, why don't I just install a real bridge next to the drawbridge over the moat around my house? Welcome all the attackers in!

I didn't think this would be controversial, but apparently it isn't widely known. Win10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021 is a version that gets security support until 2032 but will not receive feature updates, ads or any other those things. It's essentially what windows should be.

Here is my source: https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links.html

That's exactly the same as what Windows 10 LTSC claims to be, except with IoT included. They're virtually the same product.

Nope:

Windows Update - Iot is supported till 2032 and Non-Iot is supported till 2027. Conclusion, Iot LTSC is better.

I went ahead and checked and yes the IoT service date for LTSC Enterprise 2021 is further out by about 5 years, but it's a but of a stretch to say that makes it "better" given the added unnecessary vulnerabilities.
