If they were a "computer person" enough to know how, or willing to let the Geek Squad over charge them for something as simple as installing more RAM or HD upgrade. But yes, it's not like a TPM that would require a motherboard swap, which isn't a thing for laptops outside of Framework (and then only just recently).

Especially since that Saudi influence has the President's son-in-law pooling money with them on this investment ( from his shady deals made during Trump's 1st term).
Some people did as they didn't meet that min specs, but it wasn't for something silly like the TPM requirement. Locking 11 behind a non-serviceable upgrade is artificially creating e-waste, and they should be forced to pay for it all to be properly recycled, but capitalism cares more about making the graph go up than becoming the earth from Wall-E
The same was said when Microsoft sunset XP and "forced" everyone to use Windows 10 - the last Windows™.
Well doing it themselves would be ambitious for a small dev, which would almost certainly lead to devs using these fly-by-night "verification" companies that you hope are doing the right thing with everyones info.
This sounds like a headache for Google and Apple, and if I was a small dev I would just geo-block Texas rather than jump through their useless hoops.
I think the documentary "How Music Got Free" takes anyone that was around back then right back to the days of scene races, FTP top sites, and IRC bots. And the documentary is about music, but it was the same for most all other media also (movies/games/etc.).
Yeah, why use renewable energy when you can use a dirty finite resource that will almost certainly rise in price over their time horizon.
Better than also making them have to file taxes, although it should be something that they shouldn't even have to bother with since they are below poverty already.
Edit - Ah, I get the catch now, this is to make these people file that may otherwise not. Sneaky!
Before President shit for brains Canada was are strongest ally.
The whole state, or even the whole city, isn't all assholes. I feel any sports ball fan group is going to be one of the worst representations of America.
Well your only going to be as fast as the slowest server in that chain, with all the latency/any dropped packets/etc. driving down your speeds. Also, if it's built for security it almost certainly isn't prioritizing speed test traffic of all things.
