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.

But why, some say, the Switch? Why did they choose this as their goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 98 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

They choose to go to mod a Switch. They choose to mod a Switch in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Yes, I think that’s the point. They just wanted to play PS3 games, they would probably just buy a PS3 for cheap and be done with it.

But this person obviously thought it was more interesting to mod a switch to do it and I fully agree.

This person is the same type of person that makes DOOM run inside a PDF, or something else weird.

Email? Thunderbird’d’d

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

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.

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.

Small mode? I had completely forgotten that it existed. I didn’t know anyone used that.

I assume they mean that you can use your own domain with their email server.

I.e point your MX records to them.

Of course you always could use your own domain in their email client. It would be a pretty shitty email client otherwise.

They are investigating those issues though so I assume they intend to fix them.

I would be extremely surprised if every single game just worked on the first try.

What’s the Weissman score?

Aren’t the students provided computers?

Here students usually get provided computers and then MS accounts are no problem since they just have to logon with their domain account.

Ordering components with unnecessarily small tolerances is stupid and a waste of money but of course they will complain if you can’t make the parts to the specifications.

Why did you even take the order in the first place if you can’t manage to produce them to spec?

Why would you ever buy the deluxe version of any game?

From my point of view the country most famous for its death punishment is collapsing.

I really don’t care.

Capital punishment is immoral and that’s that.
