Yeah man. Those were the good ol’ days, when X was called Twitter lol. Musk was absolutely spreading misinformation when it was still called Twitter also, before he owned it. I remember when he started talking complete rubbish about Dogecoin, making its price oscillate all over the place that whole week. One of his fanboys bought in…like hard. A 30-something year old, and he put his whole life savings into Doge at its peek, only to lose it all the night it was revealed that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

You can handle those issues with power, setting group policies, and inhibiting action when the power button is pressed (that includes keyboard power buttons). Nothing will stop the user from killing power by holding the physical power button down, except for changing that setting (if available) in the BIOS.

Computer config->Preferences->Control panel settings->Power options

Jokes aside, how could I implement such a policy?

The policy you’re looking for is in Computer Configuration->Policies->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policies->User Rights Assignments->Shut down the system

This policy takes account or group names from your local or domain AD as its variable (like Domain Admins). After it’s successfully applied, only those users or groups will be able to shutdown the machine gracefully.

Create a new GPO or edit an existing one and apply it to the ADUC organizational unit containing the computer objects you need to target.

That's actually a good question. Surely Mastodon and Lemmy instances should have also seen an uptick in registrations?

Just out of curiosity, are you an Apple user, looking for alternatives to Apple's AppStore?

WD, in turn, claimed the firm had not infringed Suess’ patents

So did they or didn't they infringe? The article doesn't say. I imagine MRT disassembled some drives to examine for infringement.

It is also possible that these hundreds of employees across the globe working R&D for Western Digital may have developed the same, or nearly the same, technology. But then MRT filed first if they were awarded the patient.

Given the track record of memory and other computer parts manufactures, I would say it's more likely that they're simply lying through their teeth.

History isn't propaganda

 

One of my absolute all-time favorites, and I totally agree with Star Lord!
