Even when support officially ends, enterprise edition allows companies to purchase a yearly subscription to continue support for several years with each year getting more expensive then the last. Also the LTSB edition continues support until 2029. It could be possible they have a way to use these patches through this?
My grandparents do that. I leave it on the counter, but always say I’m going to freeze it, especially if I get it at costco, which sells you 2 loafs at a time. The only problem is I never have enough room to shove an entire loaf of bread in there. Freezer for bread is fine. If you pull out a few slices, it basically defrosts in like 10 min or use microwave for 10 seconds, and if you wanted toast, just toast it.
I just threw out an entire loaf because it was on my counter for 5 days and saw mold… must be the type of bread as well since it normally lasts weeks just fine. Since I’m always buying what’s near the cheapest that’s on sale I am always buying different brands.
