First link: Members of A Company, so you’re looking at 100 people maximum and likely less. Not exactly a large fighting force.
Second link: There’s nothing “quiet” about it. It’s been blaring on Western News non-stop for about 6 years now. The US has been completely open about weapons sales and training schedules.
Third link: We gave President Tsai Ing-Wen a medal. Okay, and?
it was the 80s/90s, windows didn’t exist
Wow, that’s a pretty narrow gap. The 80386 started mass production in 1986 and Windows 3.0 (the first actually usable one) came out in 1990.
I refused to use Windows until Win95 and even then I was experimenting with OS/2. In 1997 I installed Slack 3.4 and have been around every since. I’m currently running Linux Mint but I sorta miss SuSe and may go back to it.
Imagine if that was the headline…
Well that headline would be pretty damn accurate!
all the way to the entire country
China is no different. In fact there are NO countries in the world immune to the “you displaced a previous civilization” argument. They’ve all done it.
Frankly, I never understood why businesses were invested in the office suite anyway.
When MS Office really took off back in the Office 97 days there weren’t any good alternatives and now MS Office is so embedded that it’s almost impossible to dislodge.
You’d need more than 9,000 of the largest hard drives made (32TB) to store the nearly 300 Petabytes of data they have. Still within the reach of an obscenely rich tech bro but not exactly cheap.
145+ Petabytes for a single copy of the archive and they currently have two copies of everything for a total of around 290 Petaybtes.
The largest hard drive I’m aware of is 32TB so you’d “only” need over 9,000 (lol) of the largest drives ever made. I can’t even tell you what that would cost since Seagate doesn’t have a publicly available price for the damn things!
I still don’t see a single actual advantage of W11 over 10.
From the user’s perspective there really aren’t any. MS could have stopped with W10, or even W7, and things would have been just fine.
If it happens nothing of value will be lost. I say if because ByteDance has almost certainly already created a western shell company backed by Chinese billionaires to buy TikTok and keep it running.
Still bound to a employer laptop which uses Win11 in a Microsoft collaboration setting
Ask for Windows 11 Enterprise. I know that it’s got the same “recommended” thing going on but it can be completely disabled via Group Policy and / or the Registry.
Linux Mint at home and Windows 11 Enterprise at the office.
At the Office it’s my employers problem and at home Mint doesn’t give AF about Windows 11.
Huh, I haven’t installed SUSE in at least 10 years and seeing the Gecko is giving me a bit of nostalgia. I may have to run an install and see what’s changed.
I was too. The internet was never for normies or businesses and between the two of them they’ve managed to turn it into a complete dumpster fire.
This is going to be the Idiocratizing of the internet.
It’s all kinds of bots; Russian, Chinese, Liberal, Conservative, but most of all its Reddits own bots meant to inflate traffic stats ahead of the IPO.
Why? Probably because they recently published a map of all the cables and then made a comment to the effect of “Hey, look at all this important infrastructure that goes right through our area!”
“There can be no ‘right’ to take a human life,”
Wasn’t so long ago that the Vatican had a very different take on that, or maybe it’s different after said “life” leaves the womb?
It sure seems that we’re slowly walking into a much wider conflict.
