Does it need to contradict?

I just meant that it’s funny that you said that it’s a good thing that they use rolling releases because it occasionally breaks and they can fix it in a few days or so.

Usually rolling releases are good for continuous improvements, but not for you ,🤷

I like Proton and have nothing against it, but you are not really selling “continuous development” very well.

Proper and tested releases are often better for stability.

Well at least you can exclude roughly 81 million eligible non voters. Fuck em.

Read the article man

This feature will be available on Teams desktop applications (both Windows and Mac) and Teams mobile applications (both iOS and Android).

You can use pins, passwords, TPM, a usb key, or multiple in combination. But generally TPM is the best option for most users

apparently it’ll pwrma lock itself after x amounts of invalid passwords which is just incredibly stupid. But don’t worry, there is a backup key! Yeah, that is lie

If you only used TPM for bitlocker with no pre-boot authentication or something similar, it’s possible that you had the “MaxDevicePasswordFailedAttempts” policy configured. Apparently that is configured by default if you use the security baseline.

IMO it makes a lot of sense to lockdown and require bitlocker recovery if there has been a few failed attempts.

We use bitlocker on probably over 1000 devices I don’t believe we had any substantial issues with it. Of course users occasionally get locked out, but that should be planned for and a process should be in place to help them.

I suggest deploying windows hello or smart cards to reduce the dependency on passwords. Window hello for business is especially great since it’s free, secure and way easier and faster for users to use, especially if your devices have fingerprint readers or face recognition. I wish Linux and MacOS had anything as useful as Windows Hello.

I think the EDPB would have a field day if that was the case.

While I very much dislike that too, it’s very easy to opt out. Just use Windows Pro, Enterprise, or education.

The entire point of recall is that it’s running locally. That’s why only a very very very small subset of all Windows 11 PCs support it. Only “copilot+” pc supports it which are PCs with very specific processors with AI processing. Most notably the new Snapdragon arm PCs.

Well, half a billion is still a lot of money so it’s great that the union got it so they can spend it on something useful. Half a billion USD is the entire yearly revenue of some fairly large companies in Sweden.

And the fine is not intended to bankrupt Apple, it’s intended to punish them and as a show of force. If Apple still refuses to comply or even pay the fine, the fines would obviously escalate and the max fine on this offence is very very high.

Also remember that the EU generally only cares what they do inside the EU, they care about how it affects EU citizens. So it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to issue brutally high fines based on yearly global revenue yet.

FYI: You can still use windows offline and without an account if you use Pro or Enterprise and I assume education edition.

Email? Thunderbird’d’d

Thunderbird is only a mail client. Don’t forget to actually move from gmail if you want to degoogle.

Maybe someone just forgot to run copy running-config startup-config lol

I’m on your side mate.

I’m equally annoyed when people want civilians to die no matter who.

It’s very clear sometimes who wants suffering and who actually wants peace.

Well obviously. A severe violation of anything is considered worse by pretty much anyone.

Windows has a built in firewall, so why install a paid one?

Obviously recall is bad but for fuck sakes don’t use company property for watching porn.

but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.

Within reason.

Over optimization is a curse on getting done.

Life at stake?

Eh no, not knowing that you should have a backup plan if you want to do stuff like football is far from ruining a whole life.

Let’s say that they figure out that football is a no go at 25 or something ridiculous like that, what happens? Nothing. They can just do something else, they can even study and get some good education if they want. Switching careers isn’t impossible like you make it out to be. Hell, depending on where you live you might even get paid by the government to get a better education.

Let the kid do football but encourage them to do other stuff too (like getting a good education).
