I used to work at Merrill Lynch, we had a Linux desktop pilot. We were an 80k company but had less than 1k users in the program, and most of us were capable of self-support.

It's definitely doable at scale especially since most apps are web based these days, but there certainly is a retraining effort needed for support, and Windows would still be there. For most organizations, that's not worth the effort.

Really appreciate that too.

Too many articles & videos use shitty AI to not say anything just to get the clicks.

Specifically, he wanted to see if he could prove that Denuvo kills performance as much as many people believe.

This can be done without cracking it. There have been several games that have removed this DRM, as well as some who have added it post-publication. Benchmarks between versions should highlight the performance issues.

Also, fuck Denuvo.

A lot of TVs these days won't start working without wifi. I set up a temporary ssid, set up the TV then delete it.

What I'm talking about has nothing to do with the line protocol. Each client has encryption key pairs. The public key of the first party shares it with the other parties, and vice versa. If it's encrypted with the public key then the private key can decrypt it.

If Meta gets the private keys, they can decrypt any message they want independent of whatever protocol is being used.

Meta could easily have the WhatsApp client upload decryption keys to their servers without any notification to the user.

Then what are some of them? What are they providing that the others don't?

Seriously? I'm subscribed to eweka and news hosting for nntp, as well as nzbgeek and nzbfinder for my indexers. Nzbgeek has a lifetime subscription option. You can get anything you're looking for. It's a simple subscription process.

What are you considering as 'top tier' that won't take a subscription?

Some sites for reference:

There is. Look at Streamfab (same company) as well as AnyStream. Both are great products.

No, just go to one of the websites and subscribe. It's dead simple.
