If you live in the EU or UK, sign it.

These aren't just a petition that can be ignored, these actually have a legal process tied to them.

when I bring slightly the idea we could host our operations, I am seen like the crazy one

Interestingly enough, it's the opposite at my company. Mostly due to how damn fucking expensive things like AWS are.

We priced out a VM host, and we determined that if we strongly policed turning off the VMs when we weren't using them, using AWS would cost as much as a completely new local VM host every 6 months. And again, that is IF we police the fuck out of turning off the VMs, which we all knew wouldn't happen.

It's the summation of all of the above.

Does SUSE require a payment up front, as well as a subscription in order to continue receiving updates, as well as even more payments to ensure hoovered data resides in your country?

That is good to know.

Though the ask here is getting pretty large:

  • The OS requires a paid license
  • In order to continue receiving security updates, you have to pay an additional subscription fee
  • If you want all your hoovered data to reside in your own country, you have to pay even more

Yeah, it's very unlikely it survived.

If you have your encryption key backed up, you have a chance to decrypt it still. It's also possible, but unlikely, the key somehow survived the ISO write and it was written elsewhere on the drive, allowing the key to be recovered. I would only trust such with a professional. (There is basically a smaller encrypted section that your typed-in password decrypts, that section contains the encryption key the rest of the drive uses.)

Honestly though, if you have your stuff backed up (you do have your stuff backed up elsewhere?!?), just restore from your backup and call this a loss.


If you don't have a backup, this was your wakeup call. Always have a backup going forward.

i couldn’t understand why an indie developer (if they have any ethics) would sell out like that

It's pretty tempting to know your next offering will sell, even if not a single customer plays it. No need to consider layoffs, etc.

According to an unnamed Israeli security official, speaking to Fox News, the success of the airstrikes that eliminated the IRGC Air Force leadership relied upon tricking those officials into gathering for a meeting, and then keeping them there.

“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the security official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”

It certainly doesn't help Intel has been intentionally selling defective product in the 13th and 14th gen lines. People are quite reasonably going to AMD more and more.

Please don't. Just keep providing security updates for an extended time and don't make Win 10 worse with these 'features' that are keeping people away from Win 11.

Really happy to see replaceable batteries! It's a wear item and guaranteed to brick your device after a number of years if they aren't replaceable.

The Microsoft devs have time to do shit like this, but haven't yet gotten the Settings screen as functional as Control Panel was two decades ago...

Replacing physical controls with touch buttons continues to be an incredibly dumb idea. Luckily several other manufactures who hopped on the trend are realizing it was a bad choice.
