    Also, you pay Microsoft to move lots if liability off yourself to Microsoft.

    A C-suite level person gets lots of guarantees for all sorts of things from Microsoft that they can blame almost regardless of what goes wrong.

    This is Microsofts biggest advantage, they sell a fall guy.



  • Getting locked out for 24 hours for changing between 5 different versions of Proton isn’t the worst, mostly just sucks for people who test stuff or benchmark.

    Same thing also happens on Windows if you replace hardware (for example doing benchmarking across multiple gpu models)

    Obviously fuck denuvo, I hate drm as much as the next guy in this community. But being locked out from using more than 5 different versions of Proton in 24 hours isn’t that bad, you can just switch back to one of those 5 and it keeps working. (assuming it worked in the first place, which at this point with how good proton has gotten it probably does)

    A lot of modern windows laptop don’t let you shut them down.

    They use something called Windows Hybrid Sleep and it should be illegal. Selecting shut down in windows will keep the machine in a state where it will turn on at random times to check for updates. Especially fun whrn in your backpack creating a furnace.

    Thankfully it can be disabled via AD policy.

    Why should Google be the one who decides what is true?

    I’m not saying a government necessarily is better (though I would think it is in most cases) but is it better to trust a private for profit company over a government?
