Young kids carrying whisky on the school grounds isn’t really a threat where I live. But to answer your question directly - kids having whisky and I can go after whoever sold/provided it to them using existing legal means if I think it

I just ordered a 37,000AUD BYD, the "$25k (USD) car" that Elon used to promise was coming. Seems like I'm not the only one with 2779 BYD EVs sold in the country in January compared to just 501 Teslas.[1] [1] https:/&#x2

You’re going to end up running down the same merry path that DRM companies do - and you can’t patch the wetware layer. Inevitably thousands of ‘human tokens’ will end up in the hands of actual humans working in call centres with 300 phones

I think you’re reading my post wrong. I’m not stating it’s impossible.

Good example. I’d want to look at the first-mover(ish) advantage Valve had and other differences in product timing/delivery before I concluded it was impossible to found a company like Valve in the EU.

I think you’re confusing warmth and use-ability with familiarity. Nobody who grew up using the metric system feels it ‘cold’ and yearns for something with more character.

You _can_ curate the Enterprise edition a lot more with group policy/intune and remove all that stuff but my experience has been most corporate IT departments don’t care/don’t know how to do it, and MS will just randomly enable ne

They’re still children and regardless of your definition, my statement still applies.
