$300 for the most important piece of software on the hardware that you interact with every day, sometimes all day, for years? That’s a steal.
And again, as an OS, Windows just works and Linux doesn’t. Even if you wanted to set things manually in the registry to disable the bad consumer “features”, you’d still spend less time than configuring a standard Linux install and it would be more stable.
It’s like Apple fan bois nowadays. Ridiculous.
Or… Read what I said. Spend the $300 on the enterprise license. No ads. No forced notifications. A single computer with multiple users at one time in a home environment is not a use case that would get any thought. Those that want it, can do it. And it’s easy, and free. Hyper-V is free and the licenses for the virtual machines are free too because the container host is windows. Lock an instance per output and voila. Recall won’t be coming to enterprise or server and if it does, it will be disablable. Just like forced updates are disabled in enterprise. Forced reboots disabled. Etc.
If you want that experience you buy that experience.
I’m sure if you edit the registry inside emacs from a live iso boot from 6 burned CDs, it will unlock all the golden rainbow features you require.
It 100% is in a desktop environment used by users.
In an embedded locked system not in space, it’s the same.
No. It really isn’t.
Windows with the proper license and configuration is more stable, more productive, and that configuration takes less than an hour once for the life of the machine.
In 2024 if you’re still bashing Windows for BSODs, stability, updates, etc, you’re doing it wrong. You can bash all day long for privacy violations and corporate greed but both of those are fixed with the proper version like Windows Enterprise. Costs more, but you are less of the product.
Dude, Dubai is more progressive than most of the USA or UK. Don’t believe the media.
I live all over the world, but also have residency there as a registered atheist. Nicest people you’ll ever meet.
It’s 90% expats. And a huge Indian population. If you want to live like in India, you can. If you want to live like in the UK, you can. You have freedom of choice far superior to any other country in the world.
These are not really Indian issues but poor people issues. Social mobility is a tough thing. If you’re born poor, you stay poor in most places. If your born rich you can stay rich or become poor. If you’re middle class you’ll probably end up poor unless you are relatively lucky with the way inflation and capitalism works.
If you want to “escape India” for better chances, just get to Dubai and start over. You’ll earn more and can start planning for later.
Many Lemmy instances block VPN posting. You can view, but not vote or post. I have a secondary private VPN I use sometimes for that. But honestly the whole thing just sucks.
Keep your hot bean soup, I will drink my boiled landscape baggings.
Wow I thought I was the only idiot that bought it. Once they started charging for the smart features, it got unbatteried and became just a fancy box.
I’d make that deal with the Sharks. Sea bass today, sea urchins tommorow.
When you get to baggage claim, if you then stand directly at the carousel blocking everyone’s view for more than 10 seconds, trap door opens and a system of pneumatic tubes forcibly jettisons you to the furthest point away in the airport for you to walk back.
Stand back, wait for your luggage to appear, then approach and get your bag and step back to the perimeter.
To get my VC funding in 2024, id also pitch that it “has AI” which is just facial recognition and if you get jettisoned twice in the same year, the third time goes into a shark pit or scorpion pit.
The entire concept of having idiots from the area decide your fate went out of style with the wild west. The average person has no ghastly idea what the case is even about. These are people that don’t even know the difference between WiFi, “the internet”, and google itself.
If you really want a jury for a technical discussion it should be a jury of technical people versed in the subject.
But overall, ban jury duty. Archaic stupid process.
And you’re ignorant. Go learn how a parliamentary democracy works. And how every functioning democracy in the world, uses it. Then reevaluate your idiocy.
No, that’s actually how most functioning governments work. Just Americans are too ignorant to know anything about the rest of the world.
Americans love to say “it’s an experiment”. It’s just a Republic and it has failed. A parliamentary democracy works and is why everyone else does it that way.
Not at all. Not all old people are idiots and not all young people are geniuses. Get rid of the minimum age requirement for prez too.
There should also be no “terms” and “term limits”. You’re voted in. If at any point you face a vote of no confidence, there’s an election. That might be 30 days in, it might be 15 years later. Sometimes it takes long periods of time to fix issues. And with a 4 year cycle where 3.99 of it is campaigning, nothing can get done.
The US is broken.
Every good Computer Science or Computer Engineering major has written their own operating system.
And every one of them wishes to never need to do it again and gains an understanding of just how magical all that “OS Bloat” is.
BBB is actually really good nowadays compared to where it started. I’ve got quite a few deployed hardware appliance designs with them baked in. The real time IO and subprocessor was a nice quick and dirty way to get a little psuedo FPGA
