You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2.

I recently created an Activision account during a free weekend event and discovered their password system is completely broken. 30 character limit but refused to accept any more than 12 characters. Kept erroring out with must be less than 30. Once I got it down to 12 it accepted that, but then it complained about certain special characters. Definitely not giving them financial information.
Yup. Mount your disk and chroot into it.
but the containers are still running as root, as the daemon itself raises the access to root.
No. The daemon can run without root, as such the containers don't have root. My docker install doesn't have root access. None of my stacks / containers need any root access tbh. I don't have any troubles with deplyong stuff.
Somewhat related. My grandpa has had a Nokia flip phone since I was a kid. It's around 20 years old. It's survived so much abuse. He's replaced the battery in it about a dozen times. He got a call last year from ATT saying due to the 3G shut off and other network changes his phone will no longer work. They upgraded his plan and sent him an S21 all for free. First new phone he's ever had since the Nokia. I'm dreading the experience in 3-4 years when he calls me that the battery sucks and shit acting up.
Potentially but it's not always that simple. I've literally encountered this exact scenario. OldeShit needs libY 1.9 but pacman is on 2.2. Can't downgrade because libY uses 10 different libs collectively in the depends tree that explicitly need 2.0 or higher. So you take a look at libY and OldeShit builds only to realise several functions that libY provide have been reworked or removed, making it incompatible with OldeShit. As such OldeShit doesn't build.
As an aside, this is quite literally why Microsoft has several different VC Redistributables. To avoid this issue. But this also creates another issue. Lol.
KSP2 is Spamming the Windows Registry Over Weeks/Months Until the Game Will Stop Working Permanently

It can be very stupid. Depends on the software though as the registry is meant for saving user and system settings to a degree. Like Windows File Explorer makes perfect sense. As does settings for audio.
It's generally advised to not bloat the registry wherever possible. WinSCP is a great piece of software. Unfortunately it defaults to saving to the user registry. You can change it to save to an ini file instead. By using the registry to save settings it can be jarring for the user when they're trying to troubleshoot something. Only to find out after uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't start over fresh. Or if they're trying to backup settings and data to restore with later. The registry isn't typically included for good reason.

You'd be surprised to learn then that a lot of software does this shit.
Apps that are considered "bloat" are of course installed to the system partition. Which is something you don't have access to. The link to the app is created for your user account during device setup. It's still available to the system. Without root access they're not permanently removed. Removing them from your user means they don't run. If there is an OS update that updates apps for feature or security reasons, they have the potential to come back. You must remove them again. It does actually save battery once they're removed. You can verify this by using debug tools to look at all running services. You also don't need this app to remove bloat. It just makes it easier for those who don't want to use ADB command line.
A majority of apps won't ruin your stability if removed. The only app I know I can't remove is My Verizon Services. If I do, I lose certain functionality. If you're unsure, look up what each app does.
Sure, there are those niche phones like Pixels and Fairphones used mostly by nerds, but they are a tiny market.
I feel attacked. Lol
No need for fighting friend. Just conversation.
You mentioned LG and HTC. There's a reason HTC doesn't exist anymore and why LG has cut back significantly on manufacturing. Neither brand is known for quality products in this segment. They fell from grace pretty quickly. None of the major US cell providers offer LG devices for sale. The Samsung S3 and S4 are decade old phones and the battery issue mentioned was when the technology was changing. Fast and adaptive charging was taking off. There are always hiccups for any emerging tech. These points you made here don't really sway the argument. You're simply mentioning bad products or bad product design. Which is something Apple is just as guilty of looking back.
Chromebooks were designed as cheap planned obsolescence to fit a specific market segment. That's why they initially received short support lifespans. The average consumer owns a laptop for just four years before upgrading. Can't complain when the product is made with cheap parts to make the price cheap. They know it's gonna be replaced. After several years of push back, Google upped it to 10 years. Unsurprisingly expensive Chromebooks hit the market. There are models out there with $2000-$3000 price tags.
A business that does what it does to make money. They do what they can to make the most money in the long term. Take a look at any second hand market service and notice the abundance of Apple products. People upgrade often so it doesn't matter how long the device lasts. Society's desire for new and better is the real problem here. It's our fault we have such a high ewaste problem. We facilitated these companies to get away with it. No matter who you point the finger at, they're all the same. They're all bad and produce a lot of ewaste. Contributing to the pile in different and/or similar ways.
Which brings home the point. If Apple really goes through this much effort of supporting their devices for 8 to 10 years with software updates, why release a new one every year? Why not make them easily repairable? They don't want you to so we buy new ones because we've allowed them to build their business on this cycle.
This is a very jaded and warped take with some bias.
Really just depends on the store and where you are. Stores can get tax breaks for it.
The local Safeway offers it to charity, compost or livestock feed for the farms nearby. All you have to do is head inside and ask.
As of 2020, Chromium was made more permissive in accepting additional code. Before this, Chromium rejected a lot of outside code. Microsoft is now the biggest contributor outside of Google. Samsung, Intel, ARM and Apple are other notable contributors. There are several features found in the code that aren't used by Google at all. Chrome is 100% Google's agenda. Chromium does include Google services that Google rejects the removal of. Of course Google would rather you use them. Microsoft just removes them. As do others. But the features others have submitted to the Chromium code are of course used in their forks and possibly others. I would say Chromium is less of Google's agenda than it used to be. As it's not entirely neutral, there is still Google influence behind it.
Arch can do this too. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/archinstall

If you're interested at all:
Google Chrome is a fork of the open source Chromium with several Google proprietary features. Chromium uses the Blink engine. Blink is a fork of a large component of WebKit called WebCore. Apple primarily develops WebKit (and by proxy WebCore), itself being a fork of KHTML and KJS which were actually discontinued this year.
This information reflects the current contract terms Verizon offers to everyone.
iPhone is $899 + tax. Verizon pays Apple what you pay for the iPhone. You sign a contract for 36 months that states you'll pay Verizon a monthly installment without interest.
As for the "free" phone, it really can be free. Based on their own internal metrics is what makes you eligible. Accounts the system has flagged for fear of losing (retention), good standing (no missed payments), long time customers (loyalty), new customers, or when there is an abundance of stock and a new model is set to release. The catch is that you're on the hook for the price of the phone if you upgrade early or want to cancel your line. The average rep is not letting you upgrade because the system says no. A manager can override but if they do, you lose the credit. Your next bill will include the price of the phone. They're still making money off you in the long term whether or not the phone is free. It's calculated business.
You're a bit confused.
- Sleep keeps the system on but in a low power state. User and kernel sessions are kept in RAM. If power is lost, you start from a clean session. The system can resume full power with a key press or mouse movement.
- Hibernate dumps the user and kernel session from RAM to disk and completely powers off. Upon startup, the hiberfil.sys file is read and put back into RAM. The physical power button must be pressed to turn on.
- Hybrid Shutdown uses a feature called Fast Startup. The user session is discarded, while the kernel session is written to disk before the system completely powers off. Upon startup, the hiberfil.sys file is read and puts the kernel session back into RAM. The last logged on user has their profile preloaded, including any apps that support the feature. The physical power button must be pressed to turn on.
You can disable Fast Startup or simply hold SHIFT and click Shutdown. The feature requires the user to press the Shutdown button within Windows for it to function. If you press the physical power button on your case, that is an ACPI initiated shutdown and bypasses the Fast Startup feature. This is by design.
Your motherboard firmware controls whether or not the USB ports will continue to supply power when the system is off. It's essentially like a wall brick at this point.
Fast Startup was really meant for HDD. With SSD it's not really necessary. It's negligible time savings and with how buggy drivers can be, days or weeks old kernel sessions are bound to start causing problems.
People who live in a community where you can store your airplane in a garage and then commute from your garage to the runway aren't going to partially own a plane.
That's where you'd be wrong. Many are shared. Just because one of the owners lives beside the runway doesn't mean it's solely theirs. I'm not the only one to say this. https://lemmy.world/comment/3346098
What would be the point in having that kind of a property but not being able to use it because you only got to see your plane one week per month?
Save money first and foremost. It's a win-win situation for all parties involved. And one week per month is a lot of time. You don't know what the arrangement is for those involved. The time share could be wildly different depending on each pilots desires.
What you're describing is for bare metal Windows Server only or all editions in a VM. And that's on purpose. You can probably guess why. Windows Home through Enterprise will run indefinitely on bare metal. It just locks down personalisation. Microsoft explicitly offers a VHD of Windows that doesn't require activation.
