Now I wish you'd tell us what the company is so if I ever need anything in that industry, I'd know where to buy from.

Easiest is to just create an account with fake info. They don't do any KYC for regular users AFAIK.

Should be installing Firefox anyway, otherwise why don't you just use Edge, it's also Chromium...

I'm saying they might send people the bill and then these people (well, companies) are going to have to fight it in court, where they'll be right for sure, but Microsoft can make a lot of stupid arguments to prolong the whole thing, to the point where it's cheaper to pay the license fee. For one they could say that continued use of the operating system constitutes agreement to licenses and pricing.

Either way this is server 2025 not windows 12. We're talking about companies here, not people.

Ah, but did you read the article?

MS didn't force it, Heimdal auto-updated it for their customers based on the assumption that Microsoft would label the update properly instead of it being labeled as a regular security patch. Microsoft however made a mistake (on purpose or not? Who knows...) in labeling it.

productivity increase will pay for that over the next month or so

£20 should still get you a meal of some kind until the credit cards and cash machines are back, hopefully within a few hours or next day at the latest.

Can't really say I even have that much on me most of the time though - perhaps I should change that, keep a minimum of like €50 that's only touched in an emergency or something. Swedbank has had several outages in the last few months here in Estonia and it affects many stores' payment terminals too.

Hmm, but did they say the last version of Windows, or the last version of Windows you're going to buy? And if it's the latter, is the upgrade to Windows 11 free? If yes, then technically it's still correct.

Meanwhile remote-first companies are saving money on office space and can use that to hire more people, while also immediately being greener than a company with commuters that have to worship the concrete temple.

I doubt they want my fun and safe math optimizations either tbh

Yeah, but Elon's self-driving cars aren't self-driving, nor are they necessarily as safe a good driver.

There are people out there who shouldn't be able to drive, and in sane countries many of them don't manage to get their licenses. But in the US for an example, apparently you can't get anywhere without a car, so until the public transit situation is solved, drivers licenses need to be given out like candy :/ Exception being some cities with awesome public transit. The only one I've been to is NYC, where most people don't really need to drive. I'd say the transit there is better than in my country.

And the worst part is that even once real SDCs exist and can be bought, not everyone can afford them. Or maybe they'll be more like Uber or Bolt in that you hail one from an app and it picks you up - but then people in rural areas are still fucked without being able to drive themselves.
