- kotaKat 1y agoThis happens in a lot of software in the Windows world, too. As soon as you run it on a non-Home SKU you’re suddenly The Enterprise, even as a home-gamer.
- bitwize 1y agoWindows is gating a lot of basic configuration shit behind enterprise configs like Group Policies now, specifically so that the people slumming it on Home get all the ads, spyware, mandatory updates, stealthily enabled AI features, etc.
- dragonwriter 1y agoI’ve used Pro (or Ultimate under Win 7) instead of Home for my personal devices since sometime in the XP era and literally never experienced this with anything.
- Dylan16807 1y agoI've never had a problem with Pro either. I ran actual server windows for a while, and one single program refused that (Backblaze).
- TZubiri 1y agoThat's fine, there's no enforcement suggested though, maybe they get a popup asking about licenses, not necessarily a brick.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoIf it gets normalized for software to notice when there's MDM in play, do you really think it won't be treated as a strong signal and used to break things?
- TZubiri 1y agoCurb your slippery slope buddy. I think it's more productive to speak about concrete news presented to us instead of the hypothetical consequences it might have, real or imagined.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoAnd that's how we get an industry full of entirely predictable consequences.
- TZubiri 1y agoOr it's the plot of minority report
- arccy 1y agomuch like https://sso.tax/ https://sso.tax/ , if you need enterprisey features... someone thinks you can pay for it.
