Interesting. This is the first traditional UEFI machine I’ve had. Anything prior to this has been Seabios/Coreboot in recent times.

I don’t know if you can just copy the files over. It seems you also need to make the USB stick bootable? There’s dozens of guides on doing this on a Mac, they all seem outdated. I found a tool called WinDiskWriter on GitHub and it was the o

Maybe so but I also test things in a variety of browsers and devices frequently to try and avoid the problems described in the article.

Windows installer images have some files too large for most tools to understand and also I believe the USB stick needs to be exFAT formatted too. Virtually any tool for making a USB stick would fail in various ways on macOS.

Absolutely not but then I never thought I’d need a 20,000 entry hosts file either.

As I found out this week, making the Windows 11 USB stick is far harder than it ought to be if you don’t have Windows already.

This post refers to SQL Server as just “SQL” in several places. SQL of course runs fine on your Apple Silicon device, no need for Docker or Rosetta there —- you already have SQLite installed.

It also has very poor contrast. I can turn my phone on the side to read the vertical text but the white text is impossible to read on the yellow and orange backgrounds.

In Stallman’s case it was “send a tape and $250” in 1983.

I don’t see free software as anti-capitalist. When the FSF got started they sold tapes of free software, prior to that Stallman did that himself to make money. The FSF kept doing it until it was impractical but a good way for companies to m

Right, so an organization like say, Mozilla could set up and run an App Store for FOSS stuff, but would it even make sense for them to do it? For a comparable idea to say, F-Droid on iOS, an existing non-profit organization could step up a
