It's ridiculous that a machine that is still fast by modern standards isn't supported because they now require something that nobody actually uses.

Ah, but you forget. The rightsholders (will) use the TPM to control what you can run on your machine in your home.

Remote attestation. You already can't take a screenshot of Netflix on windows. Remote attestation will allow them to detect workarounds and block you.

It's outrageous that the expensive and user-hostile Windows laptop I bought at the end of 2020 will be e-waste in 2025, while the cheaper and faster and more secure Chromebook I bought in 2022 has guaranteed support until 2032.

Never again, Microsoft.
