They aren't the busiest here, they are the slowest though. They always have a line wrapped around the building, but that's because the line hardly moves.
You can have policies that equally apply to all people that are still racist. Same with sexist. If, for example, the dress code requires men to have a short list of approved haircuts, and all of them are styles that only work with a specific type of white hair, the policy is racist.
On the sexism side, if the policy is that everyone must wear an exact uniform, but that uniform doesn't fit wide hips or large chests, the policy is sexist.
It should stop issues with full device theft as well, if done correctly, because if secure boot isn't on and working, it will refuse to give the key. Which means, if it was setup correctly, the computer cannot be accessed without know the users name and password. This is the general accepted stack for Microsoft's BitLocker. It becomes completely transparent to the user, but puts a decent blocker to access in cases of theft. There are ways around it like freezing RAM or packet sniffing an external TPM, but those are high level attacks.
The point is to have the system automatically unlock without the need for a boot password. This provides decent security if secure boot is enabled, but requires very little from the user. It isn't a stopper for high threats, but a simple theft will mean the data is safe. It also ensures that if the drive is separated from the host machine, it is useless without a copy of they key. It doesn't stop all threats, but stops a lot of them, and all of the most common.
M365 is doing away with all legacy authentication, do not be surprised if IMAP is completely unusable in the next 12 months. If you simply want to keep a copy of everything, a store and forward SMTP proxy would probably be the solution, so all email going to your domain would hit that first, then send off to M365.
At that size they are certainly targeting enterprise and cloud servers. Cool that they are getting that big, but they probably cost as much as a house.
Firefox is open source last I checked. On Android it runs its own engine and everything. It may not be on FDroid, but that doesn't mean it's not open source.
I switched to Antenna pod a few month ago. It is a very solid podcast client with 2 exceptions. One is a bug that means hitting the play button on notifications only works half the time, and the other is Android Auto not allowing you to just pickup where you left off, you have to go into your queue and find the thing you were last listening to every time. Neither are a deal breaker, but both are quite annoying.
I really should sit down and see if I can help with the code, but I have zero Android programming experience. I would hope that auto play on Android Auto connect would be rather simple, but I have no clue at this point.
I agree that these customer service bots are a poor use of the tech. In the corporate world, it is very useful for both writing and summarizing, that's where Microsoft comes in. Outside of LLMs, though, NVIDIA is well staged for most AI stuff. That's why I say they will outlast the craze. It doesn't matter what the AI is used for, NVIDIA wins. Voice to text, text to voice, sentiment analyses, object and image recognition, anomaly detection. All of which have gotten significantly better in the last few years due to modern AI tech. Hell, even video game up-scaling and ray tracing have both benefited from these technologies.
All of that is to say, the LLMs and image generation stuff has taken all the press and attention, but there are a lot more uses than those two, and clever people are finding new uses constantly.
They and Microsoft are a smart investment for now. They could end up like a lot of company post COVID bump, but both are old companies that hopefully have the smarts to project and plan to so they don't collapse when the cash stops flowing as well.
Ha, there are certainly plenty of companies that didn't survive, and it possible someone comes along with eats NVIDIA's lunch. AMD is certainly giving them a run for their money on the graphics side.
When a gold rush happens, the people getting rich are the ones selling shovels. That's what NVIDIA is doing, and it was what they were doing with the crypto gold rush. It makes them a decent short term investment. When AI crashes, they will probably lose some value if they can't find a new technology gold rush. But even when the gold rush ends, AI will be here and be wanted, so NVIDIA has a place, has profit potential. Just like the .com bust of the early 2000s. Most of those companies bankrupted, but it wasn't like we abandoned the Internet.
I seem to remember one in the first RDR. It is slow and bumpy, but was a sign that the west was dying and the world was getting smaller. I never played RDR2, but my understanding was that it was a prequel, so it wouldn't make much sense to out a car in it.
I've always felt that public money should require public code. It makes total sense, unless you are a politician who wants to give favors and earn kickbacks.
I don't gave a lot of use of it in my personal life, but I did switch from LibreOffice over to OnlyOffice and have been happy with it. The interface feels relatively modern and logically laid out. My spreadsheets tend to be basic tracking sheets and I haven't made a written document file in ages, but for my modest needs, OnlyOffice is a clear winner.
CDPR has some interesting history. My understanding is that they got their start bootlegging games that couldn't be got legally in their area, and transitioned to making games for their isolated market. GoG felt like a way to he true to their roots, distributing the old games used to bootleg legally.
This is Wordpad, not Notepad. There is still a perfectly functional plain text editor(until they decide to slam ads into it) for Windows. WordPad was a rich text editor. Sublime and Notepad++ don't really compete with that. LibreOffice and OnlyOffice exist for free in that space, but you are right that non-tech savvy users will struggle to find them on Windows.
