We were doing LTSC for Windows 10 years back as well, so I'm genuinely curious about any resources on this. We're very by-the-book and I'd be incredibly shocked to find we're actually in violation of any laws/ToS.
I couldn't disagree more. In a fight for existential survival, repelling an invader at any cost constitutes a win. It may almost be pyrrhic in the end, but deterrence is invaluable.
This makes me incredibly grateful for having a regulator with teeth in Australia. AFCA very recently awarded me (well, my mum whom I was helping) $1,000 with very little work due to Bank of Queensland temporarily…
Seconding the correction that LTSC is not restricted to hardware OEMs. I work for a multinational construction materials company and we image LTSC machines day in day out.
I tried this on the iOS 27 beta with Siri AI and it worked, to an approximation. It'll take 5 minutes from the original timer just fine, but not from the remaining time no matter which way I phrase it. Still, a massive…
Dr. Richard Scolyer was at the forefront of this, and died only recently after a long battle against brain cancer at 59. His open letter is well worth the read.…
Come on, a problem nobody really had? I wholeheartedly disagree. Data loss and the orthogonal problem of lacking free space on computers is/was a massive problem at enterprise scale and OneDrive, for all its many…
Find your criticisms of others and, if valid, air them. But surely, don't expect others to be silent in the face of harmful and terrible voices.
Your alternative is that the contract was forged. Something easily falsifiable in court and absolutely devastating to any case brought, not to mention any follow-on charges that may result. Is that what you're putting…
If your enemy can kill you with impunity, you are in fact, threatened.
My god, man. Go read the HN guidelines, this method of communication isn't only insufferable to read, but is actively making this place worse to be a participant of.
What? Many celebrities are so specifically because they're impressive. Athletes and musicians being the two most obvious examples.
HN guidelines strongly encourage me not calling you an asinine twat, so I won't do that. As your other reply highlighted, no one's arguing thermodynamics with you. It's clearly a behavioural phenomenon, and one that…
You had me at spinning rat cursor
Scott & Tomoko's site, the former tiktok.com, was particularly touching as a time capsule of the pre-9/11 world. I wonder where, and who, they are now, if they are at all.
It may well have been your point, but that it's the exact same person makes this even better
Dark pattern is the term you're (incorrectly) describing.
Agreed, reaction from OP is concerning to say the least
Bobby my good friend, nice to hear from you
You've put a lot into this, that much is clear. However, this suffers from the usual problem of the era of abundant bespoke tooling: It's hard to figure out what this even does. I read the README, the examples, and the…

Queensland allows residents to see the details of offenders in our local area, but you need to provide extensive ID to do so, and leaking that information is itself a crime. Daniel's Law was introduced in 2025 so this…
What's depressing and shitty about Brisbane's weather?
It takes an incredible stretch of the imagination to conflate colonialism with freedom, when the two couldn't be more at odds, definitionally.
