And the bribe is so cheap compared to what the company would had to pay
Examples:
Boeing, just needed to donate $1 mil and let the CEO travel with an idiot to help the Qatari royal family dump their white elephant that was actually a money pit
Nvidia, just needed to book a $1 mil dinner at mar a Lago to lift their export ban and start printing billions
All the crypto bros,
And so on
It’s basically a no-brainer move, a 1000x return on investment

Not just tpm 2.0

It is unrealistic that parts with that age are brand new, available in that quantity. It might happens that some distributor misplaces some box and a couple computers are old new stock after a decade, but hundreds?
Also: W11 pro OEM is 120 euro and office 365 perpetual doesn’t even exist, and if they meant office 2024 home and business is 299 euro. 120+299 exceed the listing price

Ok read the documentation: …microsoft.com/…/windows-11-24h2-supported-intel-…
Where does it say that you can use a 6th gen Intel CPU if you install a tpm chip?
The tpm is definitely not used as you can install it on a supported system, then go to the bios, disable secure boot and tpm and it still works (if the automatic “ransomware” bitlocker encryption didn’t start)

Yes ok from an accounting point of view.
But from a functional point of view?
I see how my bank teller works: they connect to a terminal server
I see how my other bank works: a VM that runs AS/400 that is acting as a terminal to their mainframe
Why they’re changing computers so often? The first one can use any PC released in the past 15 years and the second one can use any released in the past 30 years

My gripe with that is that the seller is scamming inexperienced people, they think that they are buying a brand new PC while instead it’s not
(The fact that a 400 euro PC includes 600 euro of software licenses should ring a bell about the legitimacy to the buyer, though)

I call it ewaste because it is coming from that. Banks and corporations change computers every 3-5 years because accounting love to lease rather to buy
Those computers go to ewaste centers, then some not honest sellers take the components (that usually were left on 24/7 because in offices nobody bothers to turn off computers) and put them in brand new cases
That’s why is a scam, selling old stuff that came from an ewaste center as brand new

Windows 11 doesn’t actually need the tpm. They just check: “oh it’s Intel 6th gen, it’s trash from the last decade, sorry incompatible”
Their marketing told us the lie “it needs tpm and secure boot” but they actually check if it has introduced to the market after 2018 or not

- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 2 months ago:
Guys, I found one other Microsoft claim that’s even more hilarious:
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/…/copilotplus-claims?ta…
They say that:
-
Windows 11 PCs are faster than the MacBook air M4 (with the top of the line AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, but only with cinebench. Because a fanless laptop like the MacBook air is perfect for run cinebench the whole day, I’m sure it won’t throttle)
-
They’re also faster than the MacBook air M3 (of course, if they were faster than M4…) of course still only with cinebench
-
And they’re faster than the MacBook air M2. Of course only with cinebench. I’m sure it’s only a coincidence that they are choosing a heavy benchmark for a fanless laptop instead of a MBP with better airflow. What’s next, comparing the result of multicore cinebench on a MacBook air wrapped in cellophane, inside a car parked in the Texan summer?
-
And that when running cinebench multicore, it’s FIVE TIMES FASTER than what you gonna get with a windows 10 PC!!! This claim was so hilarious that I had to find that test from that “reputable” third party and in the PDF they’re comparing a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 with a ThinkPad E590 Intel Core i5-8265U. Of course the Ryzen is faster in multicore benchmark, it has 20 threads vs only 8… I don’t understand why they settled on a simple Ryzen AI 9 365. Why not comparing the 8th gen i5 U series with a threadripper pro 9995x in multicore cinebench? In this way they could claim “it’s HUNDRED TIMES FASTER!!!11!”
-
And the newest copilot+ windows 11 PCs are FOUR TIMES faster in 3D gaming (the catch: only in 3d mark and only if comparing with laptops with integrated graphics)

- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 2 months ago:
The difference in performance from a Intel 11th gen and Intel 12th gen, with the same amount of memory and the CPU in the same class, is not measurable in daily life. The average for w10 devices is skewed to the bottom, and it’s also a comparison that doesn’t make sense. Of course a computer from ten years ago is slower. I would be surprised if it wouldn’t be like that.
They wanted to do a comparison like Apple “M1 is 4x faster than our previous Intel laptop” but at least apple says which exact benchmark uses and it’s directly compared to the previous model on sale, not a random one from a decade ago (although Apple always chooses some useless benchmark like calculating integers or other stuff that has absolutely no impact in real life but has a higher result).
Here Microsoft says “Web browsing is up to 3.2x faster” but we all know that RAM heavily influences web browsing. How much memory the chosen sample has? They don’t say it and I suspect they’re comparing 4/8gb devices vs 16/32gb devices
Same for “Ms office is up to 2x times faster” but we all know that the difference is invisible in real use. Probably the w10 sample have sata HDDs (especially that i3-6100) while the w11 sample they all have nvme pcie gen 4 x4 drives so of course they load Microsoft word much faster.

I watched a hai video about the topic and there are some low flow toiles capable of flushing 2 pounds of poo in one flush, maybe who sold your unit didn’t know (or pretended to don’t know) that there’s a poo flushing power for each model, sold you a bad one
- Comment on Microsoft Raises the Price of All Xbox Series Consoles, Xbox Games Confirmed to Hit $80 This Holiday - IGN 3 months ago:
zero competitors are forced to raise prices 10% in europe, though
it’s a console launched 5 years ago with no new revision, it was unattractive for €500 in 2020 and it’s even more unattractive for €600 in 2025, if they want to move more units they should lower the prices, not increase them. With this price people can get a real PC with better performance, where you don’t need to pay a subscription to play online. And there are no cool “must have” exclusives like the ps5 or the switch, so the premium is not justified.
