From their description it seems like just another tpm - like chip with extra functionality. That “cloud to chip” stuff seems to be marketing bs to me, possibly a tpm like chip that can only be used by Azure services? Doesn’t seem to me that it overrides the os in any way, so Linux would probably just ignore it withou the right drivers.

I don’t even need to click taht to know his initials are R.A. :-)

Switzerland: Just upgraded my plan to 18.90CHF (21.45usd) for unlimited 5G (1700mbps), calls and text in Switzerland and 20GB, 100 minutes and texts in EU and UK. I haven’t switched my number yet so I’ll have to see what coverage is like, but it will likely be very good cause switzerland.

What’s that about organized crime? I have never heard of that before. Is it only a scare tactic or is it really something to be concerned about when sailing the 7 seas, other than the usual caution (uBlock, VPN, private browser tab)

It doesn’t say on the website but on their anniversary day they are giving away unlimited ssl certs!

I shouldn’t be but I am honestly kind of shocked. MacOS was supposed to be for everyone, pros and laypeople allike. Not a mac user so I can’t be sure, but if windows removed this ability a ton of software from random github projects or self compiled software would become useless. DON’T THEY KNOW THAT? They can’t possibly think, the people running apps like that will get a developer subscription just to run that one random app they use.

Every country would have to do it. A party here in Switzerland wanted to drastically increase inheritance tax for certain large inheritances, and the rich people threatened so hard to leave the country that everyone believed them and now nobody supports it anymore. (They said their children would not be able to pay the tax because most of their wealth is supposedly in company shares, so if they died their children would have to sell off the companies to Cineese companies which nobody in Switzerland liked to hear)

I don’t know how to diy it on your pc, but on my steamdeck with the latest proton version most repackaged games work fine.

Hopefully they didn’t store to much financial info from donations, otherwise I am a bit coocked…

Yeah I sent the screenshot to my parents right away, I think they would know better but better be safe than sorry.

/s no I wouldn’t actually implement it

I am assuming its the same with Apple and as long as you sign out of your google account before wiping, it is no longer linked to you. Hopefully it will prompt you to do so when wiping the device locally.
