Bill Gibson did Neuromancer. Steve Gibson did Spinrite. No relationship as far as I know.

While you are generally correct, in this case the release notes labeled this as a security update and not an OS upgrade. The fault for this is Microsoft’s not the sysadmin.

Crab is fish for exceptional values of fish.

Yes, that’s more accurate. Thanks.

Yes and no. They do have Linux binaries for games that support Linux, but GOG Galaxy is Windows. Heroic Launcher and others do support GOG.

It just means you are leaving it to someone when you die. It’s the opposite of inheriting.

Whenever you have to make a choice that involves Citi, always make choices with her happiness in mind.

I believe you, but I never knew about is shitheadedness until Trump

My Subaru EV has this. They just call it enhanced cruise control. I mean, that’s what it is. It also monitors for driver inattentiveness.

I haven’t done it other than for testing, but you can pair a fire Stick remote to a PC using Bluetooth and it works with Kodi.

This looks interesting, I hadn’t heard of it before. Do you know if they support sas controllers?

Other people have made accurate posters here about MAS, but if you are concerned you can always set up a KMS server in docker.

That’s just so wrong-headed. How else do you expect billionaires to monetize every aspect of our lives?

Easy mistake. The M stands for Moron, not mother.

Try getting a used server. You can find one on labgopher. For the budget you have, don’t expect something great but it’ll be a start.

Thanks, I will definitely check out both of those

I’ll take a look at that, thanks. It’s been a year or so since I last looked at it but back then there was a push button that you could use but I couldn’t get it going.

Privacy issues aside, for wider adoption the user experience needs to be better. Most people don’t want to be a sysadmin for their house, they just want to live in it.

Yeah, that’s why I said I’m very hopeful. It says so in my comment.

Sure, but if I had a Pi (or similar board) with a speaker and a mic, I’d hope to be able to do the same thing. A Pi Zero would definitely be able to do the job.
