I have an old HP Chromebook it says cannot upgrade the version anymore.

我有一臺舊的 HP Chromebook，它說無法再升級版本了。

It's got an old processor, but it still works fine.

它有一個舊的處理器，但它仍然能正常運作。

How do I get the Chromebook to boot to a usb?

我要怎麼讓 Chromebook 從 USB 開機？

Is it still usable, but just can't upgrade?

Unfortunately, at some point in time, all Chromebooks make it to what's called end of life.

很可惜，所有的 Chromebook 在某個時間點都會來到所謂的「終止支援」。

And end of life means that Google are no longer going to support that particular device.

而終止支援的意思是，Google 將不再支援那個特定的裝置。

Google have been criticized for the short period of time with which they support devices and that if a Chromebook stops receiving security updates, that makes the device vulnerable after maybe as short as just five years from that device finishing its production run.

Google 因為支援裝置的時間很短而受到批評，如果 Chromebook 停止接收安全更新，那麼從裝置生產週期結束後，可能最短五年內，這個裝置就會變得易受攻擊。

I don't have a great solution or pointers for that.

我沒有什麼好方法或指導可以提供。

It's unfortunately one of the things that has made Google receive criticism, and

這不幸地是讓 Google 受到批評的原因之一，

I would say probably a slower update to Chromebooks and Chrome devices than they would have liked.

我想 Chromebook 和 Chrome 裝置的更新速度，可能比他們想要的還要慢。

Google's made this decision because it's difficult to support older machines and make sure things still work and make sure that the new security updates and the new features that you're rolling out will go out to those older machines.

Google 做出這個決定是因為要支援舊款機器並確保一切正常運作，同時確保他們推出的新安全更新和新功能能夠推送給這些舊款機器，這很困難。

Can you flash a Chromebook and specifically an older Chromebook with a newer copy of a different operating system?

你可以為 Chromebook，特別是舊款 Chromebook，刷入一個較新版本的不同作業系統嗎？

I have been asked on the channel, can you flash it with Chrome os?

我曾在頻道上被問到，能不能刷入 Chrome OS？

是的，你可以安裝 Chrome OS Flex，但是

it might not be supported by Google, especially those with the automatic expression.

它可能不會被 Google 支援，特別是那些有自動更新功能的。

Okay, so in this case it looks like it's not gonna.

好的，所以這種情況看起來是不會成功。

It's probably not gonna solve this one, unfortunately for this person.

很不幸地，這大概無法解決這個人的問題。

而且你可能也會遇到驅動程式問題。

if you've got an older machine, I would say all you can really do is use it, but

如果你有一臺舊機器，我會說你真的只能用它，但是

maybe not for anything that's super sensitive.

可能不要用來處理超級敏感的資料。

I probably wouldn't use it for your crypto or for your banking.

我大概不會用它來處理你的加密貨幣或銀行事務。

Just in case there's some kind of security vulnerability that means that the machine is subject to attack.

只是以防萬一有什麼安全漏洞，導致這臺機器容易受到攻擊。

If you want to use it for Media center and plug it into your tv, okay, it's probably okay for that.

如果你想把它當成媒體中心，接到你的電視上，好的，那樣應該是可以的。

You want to use it for your kids to watch YouTube on.

你想讓你的小孩用它來看 YouTube。

Or someone should, I don't know, play some online games or video calls with grandma, or using Google Meet, using services that are inherently encrypted and not likely to be exposing your personal information, that's probably okay.

或是有人要，我不知道，跟奶奶玩線上遊戲或視訊通話，或是使用 Google Meet，使用本身就加密且不太可能洩漏你個人資訊的服務，這樣應該是可以的。

Would I use it for all of my emails logged in on the couch?

我會用它來處理沙發上登入的所有電子郵件嗎？

Maybe not after it's been many years after the security updates, but that's it.

也許在安全更新過了好幾年之後不行，但就這樣。

There are not many vulnerabilities for Chrome devices in general these days.

現在 Chrome 裝置通常沒有太多漏洞。

Still, most times that people get hacked is because they clicked on a bad link and they voluntarily put their information in to a dodgy website or in some other way they were socially engineered.

不過，大多數人被駭是因為他們點擊了不良連結，自願將資訊輸入到可疑網站，或以其他方式被詐騙。

Even though it might not be perfect practice to use an old machine that doesn't have updates, it's still fairly low risk.

即使使用沒有更新的老舊裝置可能不是完美的做法，但風險仍然相當低。
