I was looking for a new TV last month, the salesman said it was “sacrilege” when I told him I had no intention of connecting the TV to the internet or using its online functions since I will have a media PC connected to it. I was just interested in the quality of the screen.

If it’s similar to the football streaming then primarily they’ll be targeting those selling pirated material.

I say that because, from a safety perspective, his advice should absolutely not be relied on when determining whether or not the gas currently being used is safe.

It really should be said that this expert is talking out of his ass here. He hasn’t positively identified the specific gas being used, just a similar product by the same manufacturer, and he definitely hasn’t actually measured nor tested the gas at the scene. It’s an educated guess, but still a guess.

There’s a difference between doing what needs to be done, and simply doing what they’re doing but against them.

If you start using duhumanising rhetoric, and labelling them as less than human to justify violence against them, then it won’t be long before you start expanding your definition of who isn’t human. Just like they’re doing.

Thankfully mandatory arbitration isn’t a global problem.

Lol setting aside the joke, and of course if you don’t pay you won’t have a case, but if you had paid I think there would be some statutory rights that would make a claim straightforward and wouldn’t require a lawyer. Small claims is a pretty universal concept regardless of jurisdiction, the limit varies but everywhere has some similar avenue. Filing fees are small and lawyers are not usually involved, just two parties and a judge, and these days it can be done remotely.

What if you downloaded an iso from Microsoft and typed a simple command into powershell to activate it? 🏴‍☠️

But yeah all I’m saying is Microsoft are definitely on shaky ground with their sales claim here. However it’s no less shaky than things they were already convicted of years ago yet seem to be doing yet again, eg bundling Internet Explorer/Edge as the default browser - which has now expanded into occassionally resetting your default apps to Microsoft ones with system updates.

Project PRISM has matured.

They’re selling Windows and one of the selling points is that it includes full disk encryption. Thus they are selling full disk encryption.

Sure. But we aren’t them. We do care. We have humanity.

Let’s not sacrifice that and lower ourselves to their level.

There was literally a doctor on scene at the time of her assassination, but ICE prevented him from seeing to her and thereby ensured they got the kill.

Exactly. I remember reading an article about a Nazi who was tried in the UK, apparently Winston Churchill himself vehemently defended this guy because he was a Nazi who fought the Soviets, and Churchill really hated the Soviets. He pushed hard for the charges to be dismissed, had his life sentence reduced to a few decades, and then eventually had his sentence commuted so he was released. I found this article around the time that the main guy behind the Nuremberg trials, Benjamin Ferencz, passed away, however when I went searching for the article a couple months later it was nowhere to be found.

I suspect the article was deleted under Wiki’s general rule where they don’t like having articles about individuals, and instead prefer articles about events. However this individual’s story was the event, and this could have been an excuse by those looking to colour Churchill’s history how they felt it should be presented.

Let’s not forget, it took years for Wikipedia to even notice Neelix, the Wikipedia admin who made over 80,000 pages/links about titties.

This all started with Theresa May and the right for rich people to curate themselves online right to be forgotten.

Probably a captcha puzzle, or some other thing that requires you to connect to them and surrender your data for free for their commercial purposes.

You can set them up in either order, you just need to set them up separately by disconnecting the Linux drive (or the drive of any other OS, even a 2nd Windows install) when installing Windows. Windows needs to think it’s the only OS installed.

But yeah it’s probably simpler to do Windows then Linux, as Linux doesn’t care, so you won’t need to unplug anything.

Absolutely. The last thing you want is Windows’ multi-OS boot manager popping up all the time. BIOS handles that more than well enough.

A general strike should be national, not just state wide. Especially when it’s the federal government causing the problems and not the state government.

And this appears to be the Reuters article your image is referring to: https://www.reuters.com/investigations/meta-created-playbook-fend-off-pressure-crack-down-scammers-documents-show-2025-12-31/

This includes the US. Basically, Russia is saying no one is allowed to actaully provide security for Ukraine, regardless of whatever paper promises are made.
