Yes but most machines these days have a ton of RAM and 4-8 CPUs. GPU is only required for 3D accelerated work. I think the standard QXL virtual GPU works fine for non-accelerated purposes. No idea how often licensing could be a problem. Haven't had issues myself but I don't use much proprietary stuff. Your standard MS Office, Adobe, AutoCAD stuff works fine to me.

Yes but it's so easy to run most Windows workloads on a VM that most people would just do that instead of doing the work to implement the needed APIs in Wine (ReactOS). I'm capable of doing such work. I can't be bothered since everything I need runs alright in KVM. Valve takes care of games via their work on Proton (Wine). We often do this in the Linux world - reach for imperfect, easier solutions, then stack em on top of each other to form not that pretty yet stable Jenga towers. 😂
Of course they are. You don't just marshall hundreds of thousands of people to harm others for a paycheck if they believe they really are harming others. All corporations I've worked for do this. It's corporate culture building.
He said a bit more than that:
"We guard against the pressures that exist for unsafe care or for unnecessary care to be delivered in a way which makes the whole system too complex and ultimately unsustainable," Witty said.
He added that employees should "tune out" criticism of the insurance company, saying that it "does not reflect reality."
Witty said the company is going to "continue to make sure that we put patients, consumers, and members first, as we always have done. The mission of this company is truly to make sure that we help the system improve by helping the experience for individuals get better and better."
"There is nobody who did more to try and advance that mission than Brian Thompson. And there are very few people in the history of the U.S. health care industry who had a bigger positive effect on American health care than Brian," Witty said. "We are going to make sure that we not only acknowledge and honor that legacy of Brian, but we'll continue it."
Wait, doesn't AMD have in-firmware TPM?
When installing on unsupported hardware, Microsoft will push a small disclaimer that effectively cancels your warranty in case of compatibility-related mishaps.
I had warranty?
Makes sense. I suspect they're selling more of those overall so they like replacing them more often. The only reason they're providing longer support for the S-series is because someone else does too. They have made their own SoC (Exynos) for more than a decade and there wasn't anyone stopping them supporting the models with that SoC for longer. They didn't.
100%. Qualcomm is the piece of shit you're thinking of. They refused to provide more than 3 years of driver updates for their SoCs for more than decade, despite the heavy work Google did to make updates from vendors dramatically easier with Project Treble. Now that Google have their own SoC and began providing longer support, Qualcomm magically began offering longer support too. The Galaxy S24 that ships with QC in NA has 7 years of support. With all that said, Google is only doing this because they're a minority player and offering support makes people like me buy their stuff for this. If they grow to a significant market share, you'll see them stop extending the support or even shorten it, in order to increase sales. Just like Qualcomm.
Yeah. Pixel 8 and 9 series have 7 years by spec. I think Samsung matched it with their latest Galaxy S series. It's one of those rare and fleeting moments when competition works to our benefit.

Or perhaps himself dying of a treatable disease they refused to pay for. He'll be a hero either way, the question is how much.
I had Daydream and I loved it. It was cheap enough to not think much about the cost. It was functional enough to watch things at home or on the go, as well as play some games. It was great for the price. My Daydream headset is now another piece of abandonware.
