As expected "do no evil" was really "do no evil ^(unless it affects the bottom line) "

Oh yeah and because of pins, the chances of forgetting your windows account is HIGHER.
Because you aren't USING it.

The internal hard drive is what I have popped out of the system and put into a case for data recovery.
And if you can't decrypt an external without a pro account, that makes the problem WORSE not BETTER.

The current format with companies claiming 230 protections and then taking actions they shouldn’t get protected for can’t continue. Something needs to change but it’s probably not happening from the legislative branch at a federal level. The amount of things that got people throttled or banned but ended up being true in the past three years is unacceptable. You can disagree with an opinion but the platform shouldn’t be banning things that aren’t illegal and still get 230.

My one workaround is I own the company too haha but yes take this advice. It doesn't matter how well mannered or awesome your bosses are when shit hits the fan, however that is, your personal shit on a company laptop is only gonna work against ya.

It's a possibility you should not take lightly, perhaps right now it's no where close of happening, but in the future perhaps not even in our lifetime it may happen if we are not careful.

They only encrypt the internal hard drive by default. Anything more requires paying for Windows Pro editions. At the point of auto encryption, it should only be a matter of them remembering the password to their Microsoft account.
That part I know can be challenging for many. They forget they even had an account!

Depends what you mean by understand. It's currently looking like they are stepping back and going to say it's not for them to decide. That's a form of understanding. Although it seems weird to me to write this headline since they haven't actually done that yet.

The issue is that it doesn't sound absurd to a politician or a regular person.

Yeah true, but, atleast here in UK it's still used by orgs and for 2fa etc so it was easier to get someone to install it on android as you could set it as your default SMS app. But noone wants the aggro of trying a new messaging app

I play 95% of my Steam library just fine on Ubuntu. Proton is really good.

Honestly, the latest version of Ubuntu is pretty solid, had an old windows laptop SSD fail and tossed the latest version of Ubu on there to do some network server duties... but was pleasantly surprised how modern and just how much better the UI is. I'm not new to Linux either, I've got it running on a few things around the house, but mostly just CLI... Still not a "flawless" experience, since I ran into some issues with swap memory that was causing mysterious crashes when loading AI models until I spent a few hours researching and figured it out, but I could confidently hand this laptop to "non nerd" and they could use it for all their daily light computer tasks just fine. This is the first version of Linux where I really feel comfortable saying that (at least for mainstream distros, I know there's been a few "EZLinux" attempts over the years)

What part of the look do you dislike? There are different UIs, and gaming has gotten better (not 100%, but better)

I would change from any to most. There are a few that won't run and a few that are really broken.
Still, I can see real effort on Steam's part.
