Well, fuck.

DRM in your web browser to forcibly require you to be running an "approved" browser (ie.: Chrome) in an "approved" configuration (ie.: no ad blockers) to load certain websites, and probably all major websites.

Google is actually shipping WEI in Chrome

Is this confirmed? Last I saw, it was still a proposal on github.

Mainly a couple of work programs I depend on and it never gets multi monitors right on my laptop. Also, I have to keep myself familiar with Windows to support my customers.

Sigh... spreads bacteria easier, spreads COVID easier. What isn't air pollution driving?

Oh for fucks sake. It's getting to the point where this needs legislative intervention to put an end to this tomfuckery.

Every day, I'm inching closer and closer to pulling the trigger on moving to Linux once and for all.

Too bad climate don't give a fuck.

This is why you drive as if everyone else is an idiot who's trying to kill you. Because most of them are.

It's a lack of controls on capitalism itself. Absolute capitalism works just as poorly as absolute socialism. As with everything in life, the best way to operate is by balancing extremes against each other.

I can't explain it, but it's the boomerest emoji.

Depends what you mean by "smart assistant". Spew a bunch of trivia on a random subject? Sure. Understand your speech commands better? Maybe. Actually manage your stuff (meetings, reminders)? Nope.

Give you a big juicy fart? Definitely

It's a well-intentioned goal that's impossible to implement without egregiously privacy violating measures.

What happens if you spoof the user agent?

Sounds more dangerous than it's worth.

No shit, really? That's a pretty shitty thing for Microsoft to do.

I'm in Canada.

Not sure what you mean by AD.

Active Directory?

Maybe it only affects non enterprise editions? I assure you, I looked everywhere for an "offline account" option, it did not exist.
