I actually like MS Office for Mac more than the Windows version. It has even the classic menu! It doesn't have all the features (esp. Excel) that the Windows version has.

By your definition, racketeering is also free speech. Get over it, man.

The problem with cancel culture is not a free speech. It is an action, based on external pressure. Same way as "nice business you have there, would be unfortunate, if something happened to it".

No, you have to install and enable zsys yourself.

Ubuntu did snapshot the bpool; unfortunately, it did a poor job of garbage collecting the snapshots. Meaning that eventually you would have failing kernel updates due to lack of space, and having to manually clean it up. Since 22.04, zsys

MSR (that another partition) has no role in Windows boot. Windows will work without it being present at all.

Windows does not have a separate NTFS boot partition. MSR is not it (check the size and content). Windows Boot Manager and BCD are stored on the EFI partition. Windows Boot Manager itself does understand NTFS: it loads winload.efi, ntoskrnl

You don't need the connectivity all the time; it is enough when calculating the initial route. After that, GPS signal is enough, and can be intermittent (in tunnels or deep valleys, for example). But I've seen another uses of dedi

We do, sort of. In order to have network access, Intel Management Engine is not enough, it does not have full network access at all. You need Intel AMT (also marketed as "vPro"), and that one is paid extra. With CPUs featuring suc

Depends. In theory it is fine, in practice it is a big ball of mud. I'm starting to like Apple's approach more. It allows to have multiple OSes installed and each to have different level of trust. In UEFI, the equivalent would be

I have exactly opposite problem - it downloads quickly, but installing takes eternity (via app store). Bonus points when I leave the computer to let it install; then it thinks it is idle, puts itself into sleep and the install fails. Rinse,

Depends if it will enforce Windows' CA only, or if it will trust UEFI 3rd party CA too. See also "Secured-core PCs".

Yes; your laptop should have the Windows license embedded in firmware. If it came with one, that is. You can download the Windows installer directly from MS. Installing all the drivers needed is on you. They might or might not be downloaded

ffmpeg project doesn't ship binary; patents do not apply for study and research. Now shipping ffmpeg binary in some jurisdiction would need licensing. If you compile and use it yourself, the licensing in these jurisdictions is on you.

When AMD/Nvidia/Intel and Samsung/Mediatek/Rockchip/etc were able to put AV1 blocks into their chips, I'm sure Apple would be capable of doing the same -- if they wanted. Now it looks that they do not want.
