Except that by letting the market burn all available fossil fuels we'll get the worst possible case of climate change. And markets aren't known for thinking long-term; by the time we're going to be lacking fuels it will be a

Yes, having to maintain an OS over multiple years without recurring revenue might be an issue indeed. On my side I wouldn't mind paying a subscription if the OS could respect my choices. But I guess it does not really make sense to pro

They have a total monopoly on OSes able to run Windows software; this is their strong point: write some random software in 1996, still works today. As a result they can quadruple-dip by having users pay for the OS, show them ads, inflict th

Where can a license be bought? When I tried on a legitimate site I got denied for not being a company.

To be fair for anime you can get pretty good coverage with only crunchyroll and a minimal price. Though some significant shows often end up locked on random services unfortunately.

Protect yourself, use a local account. Windows 11 does not allow this but Rufus will help when you create your Windows installation media. And obviously never enter your Microsoft account credentials into any Microsoft app until you're

They also ignore the default browser by default for some reason to force-feed Edge to users. There's an option to change that but why is it ignoring user choices by default?

They can force foreign countries into importing by threatening tariffs. Though I guess they cannot force-feed it to international consumers in the end.

There's an accessibility setting to disable all animations and the result is even better, it feels like living in a future where everything is instantaneous.

If that comes to pass I hope that one would be able to install a regular firmware with full DRM support / banking app support which only differs by allowing one to install apps freely. I don't think that's the case currently
