Good luck with that because Microsoft is working on buying out Linux and FOSS generally and they plan to have that hostile takeover done within ten years.

The way this works is they start making donations and contributing code to a FOSS project. Then once the project becomes dependent on their donations, they withhold the donations until the organization is forced to sell out to them. Then they disband the organization and patent all of their assets.

A TPM chip is a physical piece of hardware.

If your computer doesn't have it, no amount of changing things in the BIOS will fix that.

Yes, Microsoft wants everyone to throw out their computers and buy new ones that they can control.

Their plan is to make Windows into a slot machine where you can't get anything done without putting in your credit card and letting them nickel and dime you for every single action.

They'll give you the OS for free but then every time you try to do something there will be a different charge for it.

Total integration of OneDrive into their OS is a key part of this strategy. Their goal is to make storing data locally frustrating and nearly impossible. That's why right now it takes six steps to get to a local storage location in any Office location to save a file.

Then eventually they intend to eliminate the ability to store data locally altogether so that if you fail to pay they can hold your data for ransom until you cough up.

Going?

This war has been going on for over two thousand years because six warring factions worship the imaginary sky monster in slightly different ways.

I had a temp job at eBay's headquarters for a couple of weeks and it was a fucking shit show.

My manager was an alcoholic and forced all his employees to drink with him after work.

The IT office had stacks and stacks of hardware and shit just all over the place, filling up cubicles, all over the floor and they had an entire room full of laptop assets that they had no idea who they belonged to or where they came from.

Employees would come in and drop off their computers for break fix and someone would take their computer and just throw it in a corner.

We were expected to handle a minimum of 50 tickets per day, with each ticket requiring between 20 minutes and a couple of hours. How the fuck they expected that to happen I have no clue.

The actual employees would literally run from one user to the next trying to meet their ticket quota and they would often work hours after their shift, even into the night.

I'm pretty sure that bombing anywhere is illegal...

None of the "supercomputers" that countries are claiming are "supercomputers" are actually "supercomputers." They're just commodity server hardware boxes connected together over a network.

This whole "we've got the fastest supercomputer" thing that's been going on since the 1970s is just a big dick waving contest to see who can fit the most PC servers into a data center.
