50? Idk the biggest techbro firms NEVER made any money ever. Fucking Spotify is yet to be profitable. Who exactly are they planning to sell more service to?

50 is generous.

The truth is, faceless datacenters run linux. PEOPLE run Windows.

No they don’t. Microsoft makes software. Outsourcing making software makes no sense.

Well yeah but that is hosted on various abandonware sites. If they defacto disown the rights of it, that is fair enough…

They will ALMOST CERTAINLY. But my point is this doesn’t really help… Let’s say a game I really like, I dunno Wreckfest (substitute you own idc) gets yanked from Steam. Here is my 24.99 EUR back. Okay fine, fair enough (it isn’t but whatever), where can I buy the game again? Well REALLY you can’t, you can either buy gamepass forever (Until it gets yanked from there again), or you can go and hunt down a rare an expensive Xbox physical release.

So have I been reimbursed for my loss? No, because the 24.99 is no substitute for the game I had and wanted.

This is what I wrote on the other thread about the same article. The question is, on what possible grounds are they allowed to revoke licenses for completed sales?

I never really thought about this like that…

Or even the taycan, It weighs 2 tonnes.

No, not really. I get what you mean but the truth is, that unsustainable practices should’ve been capped, and made illegal BEFORE there was a monopoly. Now that there is one, they can do what they want. Google aren’t idiots. They know FULL well they can do this. All of this is calcualted.

You have very little idea what a sportscar is about if you think that.

Unless you need displaylink. Than it is literally impossible.

My xps 9570 has broken audio drivers on Linux. Dell laptops usually have better linux support than most. 2003 wants its OS back…

Still a curveball. Collecting your data and having to say ot to your face are not the same.

Okay, how is that inherently useful? All any form of trusted boot does is make sure, that the OS is whatever the manufacturer approves. If that is an outdated image full of backdoors and exploits, than that is what the TB enforces. TECHNICALLY a phone on android 2 is secure (by this logic) because the TB enforces that awfully outdated image. All trusted boot is good for is to make sure you can’t run acutally secure software on your device

What exactly is TPM used for in Windows 11?

No, you can’t blame them. You also can’t blame people for not upgradeing. The truth is picking totally arbitrary install requirements, especially ones that favour new hardware to high end ones alienated the early adopter base. Also microsoft killed any goodwill againtst them by bloating windows even more.

I do agree, and Cisco immediately grabbed the occasion to push their shitty restrictive trusted boot policy. Which is worrying.

Except the price of food building materials renovation costs went up by about 100% where i live realistically. So a landlord isn’t going to just take the fact that their 2500 whatever is now only worth 1700 whatevers.

This really depends. If the building is rentable for 5000 than it is. Like it or not.

Yes there is.

If you want a cfw, which you do because your phone either comes with 2 years of updates or has touchwiz.

If you run cfw you NEED safetynet. Even the witzair app crashes without it. If you cfw and need safetynet, you have to have magisk. Magisk needs root for the safetynetfix.
