My company's IT department: "hold my beer. Keep holding it. Now decrypting. Now opening spyware one to 20. Open random cmds that do nothing. Quick virus scan. An update? Better reboot in the next 5 min. The beer? It's warm now"

I've heard this theory before. Just bankrupt it fast, then the debt goes with the company... But the thing is, the loans are on his name. Twitter didn't ask money, and it might have it's own debt for sure, but Elon has a "small county" sized debt to pay and I don't think he can really get rid of it

Others said he would be bailed out by the government. Not sure either of the candidates would agree to that (or the citizens of US)

I know another media site with no ads. It's called Lemmy, it's a decentralized.... Wait a second....

"Linux is free, if you don't value your time."

This is at least 10 years obsolete. Use Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora... 95% of users can have the system ready without even opening the browser or terminal even once.

It will be up to the judge on each case to decide, I'm sure that we could see different rulings for very similar cases.

Ultimately wether they win or lose they don't want to stir the flames, else they would have already done what you said. If it was so black and white, the penalty wouldn't be "blocking promotions".

Here is the jist. They can fire you for not going to the office, but they have to fire everybody else who doesn't go, else there they (the employee) can argue discrimination. And if we are taking a few hundreds of lawsuits, plus all the union movement they are having...

So it's better to "gently" let the people know they are not welcomed and motivate them to go.

Tl;Dr: Apes, together, strong.

Could be, but the rumor of something like this happening had existed since the Vista era.

I don't think it's happening mostly because there is no real benefit for Microsoft. IP holders are not hounding Microsoft, and their store market share is inexistent.

Buuuuuuuuut just in case I use arch (btw)

I heard on BBC now they answer with something like "we are very busy right now, will answer when we have time"

No no, they will say that apple does it the right way. Instead of downloading and installing a file like a peasant, you will do it through x-code, using your paid developer account only available on Apple hardware. And of course with massive limitations that apps from the app store don't have.

I'm only half joking, I really expect Apple to make it the most miserable experience, to them say "well, nobody is doing it!"

I once read a quote that roughly translates as "Even the greatest wizard of all time can't transform bread into bread".

I always thought it was stupid, but makes more sense now.

Lots of people suggesting VM, but you can also consider dual boot.

I use Linux for everything except for the very few things were I can't (specific games for example). That way you have the best of both worlds.

I even have it set up in different drives and use the MOBO boot menu to choose, so no worries about Windows breaking stuff

Spanish is also wrong, this one means "ignore-letter-size". I'm not sure if there is an official correct way to say in a short manner, I would say "ignorar-capitalizacion" but I think it's just a barbarism.
