I'm lucky because I have enough money to make my way through the legal system, but no, the system failed utterly.

This may be anecdotal, and most certainly personal, but I watched someone falsely accuse me of battery after they themselves had actually shoved me to the ground, and I was arrested for battery. Cuffs, ride, the whole deal. My repeated explanations of what actually happened didn't even make it into the police report.

While false accusations are certainly less common, a blanket "believe the accuser" policy without requiring any evidence enables false accusations, and there is little that can be done to fight them.

Consider them as earnestly as though they are telling you the truth until it can be established that they are, in fact, not.

This really smacks of "guilty until proven innocent."

"Always believe the accuser."

People who try to position this as a "Windows is bad" thing fail to realize that CS could just have easily released a bugged update for their Linux agent instead.

The other "success" in that is that the people who are left, who succumbed to RTO, by definition are going to toe the company line more, and/or have less power to exercise in changing employers, meaning they can be more easily abused.

That's not how that works.

NFT is issued determining ownership to a property. Property sells, another NFT is issued, tied to the original one to maintain a chain of ownership. Issuance of a second NFT for a sale to a new owner would depend on authorization by the previous NFT holder. Lienholder information could also be stored, and linked to a mortgage NFT with payment history.

The "NF" part of that stands for "non-fungible." As in, once created, cannot be changed.

One of the things blockchain could do is become a digital proof of ownership, augmenting or replacing things like property deeds and car titles. We already agree that a written record of ownership of such things is legally binding (even if the writing is stored digitally), but transfer of that ownership to another person is still a very manual process. Imagine an NFT that represents ownership of your house, and when you want to sell your house, you transfer that NFT to someone else's custody - adding their ownership information to it. It would record the entire chain of ownership, and specific details about the piece of property involved.

Using computers and also having to deal with their problems is still far more betterer than not using computers at all.

If your use case is "pretty simple," you're unlikely to have problems with any operating system.

How much time do we waste on car problems? Neighbor problems? Political problems? Grocery problems?

It's also possible to have Windows log in as a specific user at boot, without user input. Regardless of operating system, your logged on session is in the context of some user account, whether you interactively log in or the system does it for you.
