Looking at the tiny (relative) number of Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems out there, I suspect Microsoft decided that the remaining systems would never be upgraded. We already know they won't run Windows 11 and were only a little over two years to Windows 10 end of support.

I wrote a little C implementation of a ring buffer I was using for serial UART code. It wasn't very efficient because it only dealt with puts and gets one byte at a time. I improved it to deal in adding and reading series of bytes at a time.
I wrote it for someone I met on reddit who taught himself to code recently. I respect the effort, but bear in mind he taught himself to code recently.
Not really thinking about that code, I sent it off to him and it didn't occur to me to stash it somewhere. It was just something I threw together to help someone out.
Turns out, that bit of code was gold. And I can't find it. I could get some iteration of it back from the person on reddit, but I know they've already hacked it some - they told me as much. Yikes.
I tried to wrap my head around it to rewrite it, but I'm already dealing with overlapped I/O in windows w/ COM ports right now, and I can't spin that many plates these days, at least at once. I'll have to come back to it later, except I'm blocked now for want of the ring buffer.
I wish I had that code. Nice bit of kit that, a circular buffer you could write entire chunks to and from. I didn't think it was that big of a deal when I wrote it.

That's why I often write a quick Tip here on something I've done - it's come in handy on several occasions when I get to need it again!

C'mon, you can (re-)do it. It doesn't look so difficult (keeping in mind your skills).

Did the person happen to throw your code into a repository?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

... (we'll call her "Sue") and they get to discussing "That Employee" (we'll call her "Karen"): you know the one - takes 30 minute loo breaks, disappears for an hour and no-one knows where she is, always last in line to do anything. The one no-one wants to work with, or to work on stuff she has done in the past. That Employee.
Anyway, Sue's daughter still works there, so the gossip gets back to Sue, and she passes it on the Herself. The company has had enough of Karen, and is building up a paper trail with the aim of firing her when they have enough evidence to forestall any legal objections.
Karen appears to have noticed that the game is up, and has found a new job, doing the same thing - so she applies online, and gives her reasons for wanting to change job as basically "the management here are sh*t".
Unfortunately, she didn't notice that the company she is applying for is not only in the same group of care homes, but ... is the care home she is currently "working" for ... and her application lands right on the home managers desk. 
Oh, I'd have loved to hear that conversation!
