Also, they successfully occupied most of the countries in western and central Europe. It's only when they tried to expand into Russia that the war started. If they didn't pick a fight with the russians, the Third Reich would have lasted much longer.

Onedrive is pretty ok, other than being annoying. A company I worked for was acquired by another company that had their own cloud storage product. After the acquisition, they forced us to migrate from onedrive to their product. It was so bad... Files would constantly corrupt and disappear, the speed was terrible, trying to share files didn't work half the time, when sharing folders the people you shared with wouldn't see all the files in the folder. They also limited our storage from 1TB to 25GB making it pretty useless for storing builds of our product or trying to share VMs.

And the worst part is that they also closed our SMB network share to force us to use that piece of shit.

After that experience, I will never complain about Onedrive again.

Not being able to access American sites will allow local competitors to appear. Back in 2005-2010, before Facebook, there were many local social platforms and forums. For example, these are all from Romania.

I seriously don't understand why Apple won't make server macs, with proper server features like IPMI, rack mounting support, virtualization. As a software developer, macs are horrible to work with.

Beyond the nightmare that is code signing and certificates (required even for debug builds), the physical devices are special snowflakes. Getting them to play nicely in a CI/CD system is really difficult. They often freeze or misbehave requiring physical access to fix. Also, if you want to target older OS X or iOS versions, you need to use an older version of XCode (that Apple makes really difficult to find) and an older version of MacOS.

There are many other use cases beyond software development, such as render farms, network storage, backup etc.

Exactly, the stainless steel "exoskeleton" is glued to plastic and pieces are coming unglued while driving. The towing thing is attached to a cast aluminum frame and multiple people have had it break while towing. It's a terrible car, and most owners are insufferable people.

NetGuard just outright blocks network access. Apps can't send tracking data if they are not able to access the servers. I'm using it in whitelist mode where I only allow access to apps that need it.

There is the LTSC version (not sure if 11 is released yet, but 10 definitely is) which is basically debloated windows. Made by Microsoft, and targeted towards embedded devices.

~~The tech~~ industry shouldn’t be dominated by a few companies.

Also the patent office needs to employ actual specialists and reject the bullshit patents, like rounded rectangles.

Which is why I will never buy a modern console. Once the company making them shutdowns the servers, the hardware will be useless. Unlike retro consoles that use physical media, which are highly sought after today.

Corporations have already done it years ago

Just like AAA game studios, movie studios don't want to take risks, so they go with productions they consider "safe": aim for the lowest common denominator, play into nostalgia, don't make anyone upset by touching subjects like politics, religion. And you end up with the garbage they are making right now.
