What? You don't say.

If you have windows pro, education, or enterprise I recommend Hyper V instead. It's much faster because it's a type 1 hypervisor instead of a type 2 like virtual box

South Korea? I heard they are insane when it comes to exams.

So they are immutable basically.

In my school they used A1 (or some other A) licences for students. They are probably cheaper than other licenses but they are not free.

I have no idea if they have opted out the competition (whatever that means).

Our class never used any normal windows client OSes (on bare metal anyway). We primarily used Windows server evaluation or Linux depending on the course. I think the other classes primarily used VDI.

Do you have a source for this:

Microsoft will gracefully give lower licensing costs for students if the school opts in Microsoft and opts out the competition.

And what do you mean by opt out? Do they sign a contract saying that they won't use Linux? That seems extremely unlikely, why would they even care? Seems more likely to be an IT policy because they want to manage the devices or they don't want to provide support for non Windows or Mac devices.

If you have no evidence or source, do you know for sure that it's happening (as in you worked in IT or similar role for the university) or it's a rumour you heard?

There are plenty of new games without any of that crap.

They are mostly Indie titles but not necessarily.

IRC still seems to be pretty active in piracy communities. At least most of the private trackers I'm on host an IRC instance.

Because it's healthy.

I feel the same way. I don't feel like hanging around for someone else's conversation to end so I can actually get what the fuck is happening.

Ram usage itself isn't bad though. Ram is meant to be used.

It would be interesting to see it tested on a system with 2 GB of ram.

You can run bitlocker without TPM using a usb flash drive instead. I think you can also store the key in your mind as a password.
