That’s really sad to hear. The IT world is still a very hostile place especially for woman.

Lol. Microsoft will never beat apple when in comes to how well their system runs on ARM hardware. simply because Apple has 3 chips to support that they know perfectly. Microsoft Windows would need to support whatever ARM chip comes out which will be an overgrowing number. This fact alone makes it extremely hard.
On the other hand Microsoft has already won in some way. Even with Apple silicon, Apple computers are still way less used then Windows PCs. So it’s not like windows is the underdog here. They are only fighting to stay in their monopoly.
The primary reason for people to use windows is still gaming and specialized software like CAD. Windows on ARM will not be used by anyone unless AAA games or AutoCAD software is build for ARM and Nvidia and AMD GPUs can be easily coupled with it.
I don’t see this coming at all. The only area where cheap, low power ARM PCs with windows would make sense, Linux or ChromeOS would be the way better and cheaper option. I don’t see any market for high performy ARM PCs with windows on them until demanding software and hardware supports it.
The Linux or macos path, if there is one is always less painful.
If there isn’t one, if the a manufacturer doesn’t support other os’ then you should demand this support from them. They will only listen to money. So take your money to an alternative or offer money for the support.
The point is that it’s not Linux’ fault that program x is not natively supported on Linux. It’s the programs fault and partly yours/your employers for choosing it.
That still doesn’t stop you from using Linux or macos on your private devices. I’m also forced to use awful software at work but that’s I call a fraction of my salary pain money (Schmerzensgeld). That’s fine. If it is enough I’m willing to deal with Microsoft, Autodesk and the like. But in my personal life. I have the choice and I would never use it if I don’t like it.
Why are people still using Windows? Seems to me that the pain to use it is still not big enough. I welcome every move that increases the pain and drives people to better options.
And still I’m not taking about nvk nor am I taking about nouveau. I’m taking about the open source drivers from nvidia. https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/
I’m not talking about Nouveau. I’m talking about the Open Source drivers from Nvidia. They released them a while ago and they’ve gotten pretty good lately.
Yes Nvidia is still a shitty company like every other. But their open source drivers run pretty well by now.
Most units shipped doesn’t mean most popular. In my experience Mediatek SOCs are the worst. They are the cheapest, but also the worst. I would take any Samsung or Qualcomm over them.
I use them as a coaster for coffee. They shouldn’t contain any lead. I guess that would be illegal at least in the EU. You can’t even put lead in solder anymore, so I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to put it in HDDs.
I’m pretty sure that’s not true. What do you think is on there?
140$? Why is this so expensive in the us? We pay 90€ (~100$) in Germany. So brake even is with like 20x 5€ shipping orders per year. Which I sadly do pretty easily. Getting the stuff I need locally is sadly not that easy.

In most cases the whole point of the VPN is to not disclose the clients IP. Are you talking about a site 2 site VPN? Then this would make sense. In that case you choose an IP range for the VPN endpoints and add routes to the networks in both ends over it. Then the clients will use their own IPs to connect and you should see them on the other side as source. Make sure to have no IP range overlaps.
I can give you a simple example later if you want.
There are more OS’ on PC then Windows and Linux. So they should really just say PCs running UEFI. Any PC running a different firmware like core boot or libreboot is not affected. Apple devices are not vulnerable because they don’t use UEFI. Apple doesn’t do the U(nified) bit and built their own EFI.
I wouldn’t say “built” if I bought an off the shelf one. Synology is pretty great though, don’t get me wrong.
What the hell are you talking about? If you mean nixos’ dependence on aws, there are alternatives to that like cachix and in the worst case, you could still setup some distributed caching network like ipfs or something torrent based. AWS was simply the easiest choice at the time.
Mozilla needs to stay alive no matter what. If they go away there is only Google browsers left.
I donate 10€ to Arch Linux and NixOS monthly because they let me run all my stuff and occasionally to projects I like. Especially the ones that save me money that would go into media consumption etc.
Depends, some of the government apps are actually pretty well done and you don’t want to end up with an unofficial ID card app that steals your identity. The German Ausweis App is a good example of a well done gov app.
