From my understanding 99.999% of those “Game ready drivers” are patches for machines that you do not use but have to download anyway to keep everything on the same version.

Certain unnamed companies cough_google doesn’t like to trust Let Encrypt its definitely not an abuse of an illegal monopoly they have good reasons I promise.

But the whole point behind using a signed certificate is that other people can look at you and immediately know you are who you say you are if a company doesn’t trust you it doesn’t really matter what the motivation is you might as well use a self signed certificate.

Paid certificates have the money to make sure everyone trusts them and has a reputation to maintain so are more likely to defend a legitimate complaint.

99.999% of individuals it simply doesn’t matter(although you might have to look into it if you’re using android apps) but to a company the little bit that certification costs is worth every penny.

Unless they just turn the satellites off over the country’s that don’t want them to avoid conflict or jam all signals because they do be that way.

Sony has exactly one must play game you can’t play on a computer and I still own a ps4 for that one game, and believe me when emulation gets slightly better I will have a new Linux computer shaped suspiciously like a ps4

Yup, not even slightly surprising, I do believe we have saw the last disk in a game console bit of a pity they are doing it in a refresh but you could tell from the bolted on disk drive that the only reason they added one at all is they would have lost alot of people who don’t have internet. The modern world will soon be completely inaccessible without internet.

Learn NGINX that is the only answer, it’s a B!+€# to get configured but once you know how it will save you so much time, If you want cheat mode run the docker image and use the web interface but make sure to rtfm there are some gotch ya’s

One way of looking at this is windows has a virtual monopoly on desktop OS’s a better way is Unix like operating systems make up almost a third of all operating systems globally before considering servers.

The un along with other governments are requiring all software including open source to be validated by a 3rd party security audit, C is notorious for its memory leaks and so switching to Rust is almost legally mandated but C is the foundation of modern society and switching will literally require rewriting linux from the ground up since Rust didn’t exist when it was made needles to say developers are not happy having to essentially learn a new language and start from scratch only harder because they can’t change anything they just need to rewrite it in another language and get nothing in return but happy bureaucrats as happy as bureaucrats can be anyway.

I think that point either was steam deck or will be steam os 2.0

He is in a unique position, theoretically he can make everything go through the country his servers are in assuming they pay over their own satellite internet, illegal… mmm almost certainly but so is keeping Ex Twitter on in Brazil so he probably doesn’t care about that, and it’s essentially exactly what a VPN does sooo, oh yeah they could also just use a VPN I guess.

I won’t waste to much time on a generated question but businesses become monopolies by being better than others or one of the ones would have became the monopoly then when they have no competition they can get as bad as they like(NOTE: better doesn’t necessarily mean better for you it could mean better at collecting payments or better at logistics but better nonetheless)

And the fact of the matter is nobody likes competition so they all try too work around it.

You’re right it’s not a Linux problem but it is a problem more to the point it’s our problem and anyone who would want to switch

Cold hard fact is that people just do not care what causes the problem and people do not care if something is %1 worse or %1000 worse they will always pick the one slightly better that’s why monopoly’s are an inherent part of nature eventually competition is unviable.

The only hope is that either Linux crosses the critical threshold of being slightly better than Windows or windows gets so invasive and counterintuitive that even normies can’t use it for productivity

I use Linux all the time I have three physical servers running probably 20 or 30 VM’s and containers but even I am hesitant to switch my gaming Pc because even though I can play everything I want now what if tomorrow something comes out I really want to play but it’s locked down to windows?

Bunch of stuff I don’t care about and can get on the internet if they care enough to make it.

I have noticed google doing a bunch more monopoly stuff since they weren’t willing to pay the government not to be called a monopoly, I guess they aren’t afraid of being a

monopoly anymore since they have been declared a monopoly hay did you know google was legally ruled a monopoly?

Oops

Interesting, but incorrect

Assuming %0.2 Tax:

A $50 HDD would cost : $60

A $150 HDD would cost:

$180

With a difference of $160

Also reliability is basically the only thing that matters in an HDD if you are going for speed get an SSD

Lol, worst take I have ever heard.

1. Windows has no purpose these days outside backwards compatibility.

2. Windows primarily sucks because of ads and forced updates, not jank.

3. Microsoft exclusively deals in antiquated spaghetti code, removing backwards compatibility won’t change that.

4. Microsoft has no interest in improving users experience they have invested entirely in squeezing in micro transactions not exactly a user first design philosophy.

People who run 10,000 computers runs Linux its all but necessary for the low level access, user access control and maintenance, also you need far fewer people to deploy and manage.

Also maybe not 10,000 but I manage a network of 50

Oh no the poor companies making money off a product might have to update a product made in 1992😱😱😱how will they ever recuperate an investment that is free every 32 years.

Also a Monopoly is able to use monopolistic behavior to force companies to use their product and mask it as “FREE”*** then still charge the user with ads is not a good thing just look at the price delta between equivalent windows and chrome books if you don’t believe me.

IM not saying you have to get the L word I would literally get a MacBook at this point.
