A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Can the updates just be pirated?

Im sure people will, but corporations won't and longterm extended security updates are aimed at corporations that don't want to upgrade a working system.

"Pirating", as in downloading from an unverified source, doesn't sound like the best idea for security updates, might as well download malware directly.

If there is a way to trick Win10 into downloading the official updates, then maybe.
