what do you think the computer from '94 that controls all the nukes runs? there's no security updates for older versions of windows

>>721114080
I seriously hope nuke software isn't getting the latest jeetcrosoft updates

Note OP has openly admitted he runs Windows 2000 on his daily driver. I'm not sure how he even shitposts, as his web browser likely can't connect to anything. He must be phoneposting.

dropping support for ancient shit isn't stealing, you are well within your power to buy any device from the last 15 years that is 64-bit capable

>>721114080
It doesn't matter since sensitive military systems are a closed box anyway. No one is browsing porn or playing steam games on a control system meant only to control satellites and shit, so why does it matter if it runs on a Win 98 PC with unpatched Internet Explorer 4?

Hi, Steamies schizo. Ready to talk about 30% and casinos for children? You're brown and poor. Also, I laid your mom.

steam and gabe should enforce the fact that if motherfuckers want to keep selling a game on steam they should also be obligated to update the game enough so that it actually fucking runs properly on any steam supported OS like fucking windows 10 and 11 for fuck's sake, there's a continuously increasing amount of games that no longer work properly (or at all) on modern systems and rely entirely on some troon nerd's hacky patches to work and that's fucking bullshit

It's kinda funny, because linux community abandoned 32bit support as soon as possible

People still use 32-bit systems? Was your computer built when Blockbuster still existed?

>>721115370
Google isn't making 32-bit CEF anymore. Steam relies on CEF for a good chunk of its functionality. If they keep including old versions and someone gets sploited running Steam, they can't blame Google for making shitware, because they shouldn't have been using EOL versions of CEF.

yeah exactly. 64-bit was the default version of windows by 2010 and nearly all new home pcs were 64-bit by like 2012 at the latest with the used market becoming mostly 64-bit easily by 2015. complaining about this is like complaining that crysis won't run on windows 95.

That's quite impressive, ackshually.

Why does steam have to run on fucking Chromium anyway it LAGS so much for no reason and uses up half your ram to render 10 different elements through 10 different processes while you're not even using it.

>>721115482
Ubuntu and Fedora both still support 32-bit because enough people threw a fit about the Steam client requiring 32-bit libraries.
As soon as the Steam client is 64-bit you can say goodbye to multilib.

License agreement says system requirements may change. Everyone but you is using x86-64 at this point. Windows is free. linux is free (though your time is worthless if you use it). Mainstream 64-bit CPUs have been kicking around since 2003.
You're arguing for literal technology that was beginning to be phased out 22 years ago, because you hate Valve SO FUCKING MUCH for VAC banning you that you have to ritualpost.

Don't be poor :)

>>721115019
Lol bro me and the boys are totally gonna steal your shit and teabag your mummy. Then we'll do weird stuff to your corpse.

>>721116238
Even if you're poor, you should be able to wrangle an x86-64 system. Picrel blows away any 32-bit system any poorfag might have. Add a 3060 for $280. That's a little over $700 with tax. If you don't have $700 in your bank account, you don't need to be thinking about video games.

>>721116515
But can it game?

>>721115671
Don't you need that to use more than 4GB ram anyway

How poor is the typical /v/troon

>>721116712
PAE let you use up to 64 gb in theory, although each process was still limited to 4gb and consumer versions of windows didn't support it anyway due to driver issues.

>>721116710
Better than anyone's 32-bit x86 system.
>>721116712
Sort of. Windows has weird limits, but it's technically a per-process limit of 4GB in the architecture. Before 64-bit CPUs were common in the Intel/AMD world, Windows allowed physical address extensions, which allowed it to access multiple 4GB pages (x86 Unixes could do this by default, but it was a Windows server feature you had to enable via a boot flag on the MS side). So you had stuff like MS SQL opening separate processes for database tables and the system being able to swap between them (which made rapid accesses to multiple pages ungodly slow, since it had to shift addressing every time it accessed a different page).

TL;DR Windows desktop was even worse, as it had a 2GB limit per process by default in a 32-bit executable, and you could make it Large Address Aware, which upped it to 3.5.

>>721113849 (OP)
I just used the massgrave something about 3years extension for windows 10 is this legit?

What sort of dependency based retarded decision is this?

You could get a year for basically free without that. The 3 year one requires using the LTSC version which is an outdated version of Windows 10.

>>721117184
yes, massgrave is certified good shit.

>>721117372
no, he's talking about tsforge which lets you get ESUs for the entire paid period, which is currently up to 3 years. also ltsc iot is supported until like 2032 or something, it's way more than 3 years.

I really fucking hate Microsoft for waging war against backward compability to force people to "upgrade" to their shitty service OS.

Regular LTSC and IoT LTSC have different dates, and I don't know that regular Windows 10 has support beyond the 1 extra year Microsoft is giving it.
The issue is that the LTSC versions themselves are based on an older W10 build from 2021 which some software already dropped support for.

Who the fuck is still running 32 bit? How would you even use a browser on 32 bit anymore?

>>721117954
The entire design is to force you to use Windows 11

>>721117954
It's just reasonably compatible at base for 32-bit and above software, and stuff like ScummVM, PCem, and DOSBox fill the void for what doesn't work natively.

Why is 64 bit mandatory?

Of course if you point that out, Microsoft drones will immediately come down on you.

>>721118283
They just announced another round of forced copilot installs to roll out after the W10 end of service date, for some reason.

>>721117967
why should they have to?

>>721118142
Windows 10 support is ending and Windows 11 only runs 64-bit. Chromium Embedded Framework will probably drop windows32 support soon and running outdated CEF is bad for security.

nta but they're literally trying to phase out older versions of Steam with their new compression algo which doesn't work on older versions.
And they're even lying about their claim by stating it's OS related, when in truth it's Steam related, if you trick Steam into thinking you're on Windows 10/11 (with shit like VxKex), it'll update and downloading works just fine.

I knew steamies didn't have reading comprehension (which is why they always make these threads) but this is just pathetic.

You can ultimately blame Microsoft for this -- it's their toolchains that drop support for older hardware and OS releases. You can still target 32-bit systems and libraries with modern GCC, for example, so it's certainly possible to run modern software on old systems, but Microsoft insisted on dropping 32-bit support in their runtime libraries and then mandated "Windows 10 or newer" in their latest 64-bit runtime libraries. Now guess what you need to target if you want to run on the *newest* OS releases, or at least their newest features.
For all the shit IBM (deservedly) catches for its business practices, the fact that you can still take a program binary produced in the 1950's for their mainframes and run it unmodified on a current/modern mainframe is based as fuck. Of course, they don't really target mainframes for video games these days either. What can you do, eh?
