In most cases the whole point of the VPN is to not disclose the clients IP.
Are you talking about a site 2 site VPN? Then this would make sense. In that case you choose an IP range for the VPN endpoints and add routes to the networks in both ends over it. Then the clients will use their own IPs to connect and you should see them on the other side as source.
Make sure to have no IP range overlaps.
I can give you a simple example later if you want.
A win for whom? MS can better spy you on win10 and sell you ads. Maybe a win for the user because win10 is more secure then an outdated win7. But for a pure gamer who doesn't want the MS BS, Linux slowly becomes a real good option. Gaming mostly just works and everything else you need is probably in the browser anyway.
Tesla only had two founders, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. They even write that in the first paragraph. Especially Elon Musk pretty much bought himself the title co-founder despite joining much later.
This is just Elon fanboyism.
There are more OS' on PC then Windows and Linux. So they should really just say PCs running UEFI. Any PC running a different firmware like core boot or libreboot is not affected. Apple devices are not vulnerable because they don't use UEFI. Apple doesn't do the U(nified) bit and built their own EFI.
It's honestly pretty expensive compared to the alternatives. If you compare a business setup with windows plus office etc plus the support fee you can get all of that for free plus a much lower support fee from a variety of independent companies with Linux and libreoffice.
The typical office worker really doesn't need the few corner cases where MS office maybe has an advantage. Honestly for a business I would even go with Google tools. Same data privacy issues, but at least the product works great. MS office in the cloud is hot garbage.
Yeah but at least Google offers a good search engine while sniffing all your data. Microsoft products are usually hot garbage, sniff your data and then loose it.
Also what is the Amazon index?
What the hell are you talking about? If you mean nixos' dependence on aws, there are alternatives to that like cachix and in the worst case, you could still setup some distributed caching network like ipfs or something torrent based. AWS was simply the easiest choice at the time.
