Am I the only one to find the phrase “net worth” disgusting? It should be “net wealth” or something.

It wasn’t the Doomguy, but his grandpa I think. Unless I missed some lore updates in the meantime.

Sheer fucking hubris. They aren’t aware that their consumer base is human beings.

How about, just ignoring the ownership then.

If I pulled a gun and killed an unarmed person, would you call that a fight?

It’s a shame some people still call that genocide a “war”.

Your phone takes over your car screen as a second display, so you have decent and up-to-date navigation apps like gmaps or waze, with instant alerts etc, instead of those garbage GPS navigation devices.

So does Ubuntu, but there is a catch. Secure boot relies on signature checking, so you can manually add the signature of your OS manually to the UEFI db, but can’t do that on locked UEFI. Major Linux providers went another route, they paid Microsoft to sign a shim binary, which in turn can verify and boot the matching Linux kernels. Microsoft refusing to sign shims would be a rather crippling move, but they would get a massive backlash from that.

Decent printers yes, some demons from ninth circle of hell somehow are more problematic on anything non-windows.
