When Windows 11 first came out, there was a lot of confusion surrounding its system requirements. People with pretty beefy PCs were being locked out, but as it turns out, the system requirements didn't just take power into account. For instance, if your PC didn't support TPM 2.0, it wasn't compatible with Windows 11 - period.

Microsoft begins cracking down on people dodging Windows 11's system requirements

Microsoft is stepping up its attempt to stop customers from installing Windows 11 on unsupported PCs, shutting down a popular method people were using. Spotted by Neowin, Microsoft has patched an option that allowed users to bypass Windows requirements by adding “/product server” during setup.

Google has a post up on its security blog that is half advertisement and half PSA-style announcement for Android users: go into your settings and turn off the "Allow 2G" toggle. This option, added in Android 12 back in 2021, does exactly what it sounds like: it turns off support for 2G cellular networking. Why would you want to do that? Because attackers are using the insecure 2G protocol to spoof phone numbers and send SMS spam.
