Best he will do is another paypal/venmo thing. No way its gonna be a bank.

He did say his keystrokes were playback in a few seconds. No way you realize what is happening and yank the cable this fast. This is the type of situation where people sit and watch the chaos unfold

I would pay for that

I have no idea how US lawmaking works. I thought that through precedent cases they sometimes can enforce things and reach consensus.

Data collection should be limited by the government, that is not a decision to an avarage parent.

Isnt your data encrypted when you have a pw set on your phone? For a screen or battery replacement they dont need to know your pw.

So what is the issue with this project https://libreboot.org/ ? maybe instead demanding change, supporting alternatives is a better option

There is np such thing as overkill while some governments actively funding quantum computing projects for the sole purpose of code cracking

Windows -at this point- is free to use at least for personal reasons and there are zero consequences if you don’t activate your copy. They used to give you deadline in the XP/Vista era to activate your copy but not anymore. All you get is a watermark in the corner that either bothers you or not. They are as well very sloppy with closing activation methods, they could just close a new gate every patch Tuesday but they don’t do it. It is far far more important to them that everyone is using windows and there is a high chance based on last week’s news that there will be a subscription “premium” version like in any app that removes ads and enables AI features.

Music piracy was big till spotify apprared. iTunes had a limited selection, music remixes, small band stuff were not available. iTunes only had what Sony and some other music distributors supplied. I understand what you are saying but still, piracy was there and iTunes was not primary source. Spotify came and now music piracy is basically limited to high quality audio albums which is a niche market.

Paying 0.99 per song was how a better user experience? Music piracy was pretty big till Spotify. No service was even close before.

Sssh… Everyone lives in default country

There was a software developed in Bratislava called the Comenius Logo. It was specifically developed as a programming environment for kids and we did 2 full years learning it in primary school, I’m still thankful for my teacher for making kids learn this. He shouldn’t have to do that it was not part of the program. I’m out of the education scene so I’m not sure if there are modern options to this but you may look it up as well. It uses a C-like code to move a turtle around the screen and draw shapes.

For the small price of 250 scalper dollars you will be able to buy it

I’m pretty sure basic usage statistics were updloaded previously as well without an account. Now they want you to login, give jucy permissions on your phone and upload all the “usage” data … for security.

I’m blaming companies making a windows and linux version of a software while the linux version is wastly inferior, full of bugs and unstable. I do love the OS but the software experience sometimes ruining it.

Do the ultimate OP solution and host your own nextcloud. It has built in office and everything google drive has.

This is tru, however MacOS is still a lesser version of linux with a fancy skin. You have to get third party apps to support ntfs formatted drives.

No. I rarely edit PDFs. I sign them, bind them, reorganize pages, comment on them. I was an adobe x user then a foxit reader guy on windows, there you can do it all. There is a foxit reader for linux with fraction of the features and have crashed for me constantly (back to my original point that multi OS developments have inferior linux version) Ideally I would prefer a single software to manage my PDFs just like for example I prefer a single software to play my different format of videos.

There are already solutions to sign a pdf or reorganize the sheets or make comments. My point was its all a separate tool which defeats the point. Like if you want to use paint and the fill bucket is in a separate application. Just makes no sense. I honestly willing to pay for a complete solution I dont want it for free.
