I'd imagine the threats of annexation are more concerning than the tariffs.

Even loading a command prompt or the calculator takes more than 3 seconds on Windows 11 so maybe they've just lowered the bar so much it passes internal testing.

They also ban many types of apps so they can't even claim it's a free market that they don't want to/can't control.

I just used an click to load flash extension in firefox back then and everything was fine.

Why would they go down? Once all the existing workforce is deskilled or retired there's no going back so they can jack the service price up. If it was an open platform you might ha…

My state has a program where they give you big rebates but only if you use some one on their list of approved installers and since there aren't many installers it creates a big bac…

Like Uber drivers' using their girlfriends' ID verification because they have a criminal record, you can also just cut in some random guy to borrow his ID for another chance. There…

AMD was a pretty stripped down company at that point. They'd bet it all on Zen so when it got a foothold it made sense to double down on it until they could recover. The thing abou…

The main purpose is to identify any nascent organization of political opposition to the status quo so it can be destroyed in its infancy with a minimum amount of resources. It will…

Is it possible to boot a full windows install from this (probably using a VHD image)? I know it would be slow but it would be nice to have something with all my utilities.

Until they start installing 5G modems in the things anyway. Or put a time bomb in the OS so the TV starts shutting down if it hasn't been connected to the internet after a week.

According to this they still support windows 7 through extended support channel: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-windows-7... Chrome dropped support two years ag…

Based on how aggressive Microsoft is becoming with ads/upsells and data collection I think they'd still call it a loss. Do home users even use Microsoft support?

This is good advice but I find they can build a nest quite fast once they get going. I've found a golf ball sized nest built onto the inside of a garage door that I'd only opened t…

I once saw a video of a crazy dude take care of a wasp nest by putting a plastic grocery bag over it and detaching the nest in one smooth motion, then tying it shut and throwing it…

I have good luck with low nests just buying a can of wasp spray (the ones that foam and have a claimed 30ft range, although somewhat less in practice) and soaking down the nest at …

I remember hearing Google early in it's history had some sort of emergency back up codes that they encased in concrete to prevent them becoming a casual part of the process and the…

At least I can probably make a throwaway discord account, at worst with a phone number verification. With facebook they demand selfie video of your head, maybe your driver's licens…

I actually think that the used market for EVs just is going to have more apartment dwellers (who lack home charging infrastructure) and people who only have access to one car (and …

Even 20 years ago after I got out of college the advice to "buy a couple year old Honda Civic for cheap" had stopped working because everyone knew those cars were solid so the ligh…

I assume by wrote down you mean they saved it in a file somewhere. Amusing to think it would have been safe from that kind of hack if they'd written it on a post it node and stuck …

Maybe they use some kind of response caching to save resources and the original pointer is now pointing to a newer response to the same question? Still would be an insane way to do…

Isn't Jeep the company that introduced infotainment pop-up ads that play at the stop light? I doubt they'd want you loading an open source OS replacement to avoid that.

What happens when you install without account using an old ISO without this "patch" and then just update it?
