This is such a nothing statement from Microsoft. I mean good on them for asking LG to remove the adware for Mcafee specifically but they don’t say anything about keeping this stuff from other auto-installed apps or making the apps ask for user permission (let alone not enabling this bullshit by default).
I think the worry of large layoffs and instability while idiots try to use AI instead of people is founded even if it’ll end in disaster.
Gotta keep the auditors busy!
Which hardware is recommended? Trying to search through their list a ton of it is already on old-stable and seemingly ready to be eol-d. I’m not really interested in spending on new routers playing whack a mole with security updates every 2 years. I’d rather have poor performance and a longer lifecycle versus unknown likely marginal support window.
I use pf as the firewall on my server, what is the difference/reason for the opnsense fork?
They also list my current one as unsupported unfortunately, I think because of the Broadcom WiFi chip in it.
That was one of the things I was considering was whether running a router before the WiFi and then just using them as access points might be a better choice.
Losing weight too fast can destroy your organs, so this is a very stupid take.
Man it’s been a long time but essentially 98 was the first one to allow for plug and play without drivers if I’m remembering right. That and a few other stability issues made the original crash constantly, including during the demo at a tech show. They re-released it as a second edition that fixed most of it. If you bought the computer towards 1999 they had fixed it.
Or vista lol, or windows 98 that was so bad they essentially recalled it and re-released it as a second version?
You just described Citrix whole business model
Desktops also offer better heat dissipation and peripheral replacements extending the life of the unit. It can be difficult for most folks to replace a laptop display or even battery nowadays frankly.
Realistically no. My wife primarily uses the ad blocking dns and smb file storage. I’ve built the server on FreeBSD so those should run near forever if I passed, and she knows she has until the server dies to find somewhere else to put her photos. Past that there’s a maintenance document next to the will, which includes everything up to how to replace drives on zfs, but I doubt she’d use it if I’m being honest.
Wife and I just bought them last year. Thankfully haven’t needed them but glad to have them if we do!
They also make airbag vests with built in neck protection, if anyone rides studies are showing an 89% reduction in cervical spine injuries, they are worth every penny!
It validates against the states license database to confirm it’s a legitimate ID and not a fake.
