My reason for stipulating that is that lot of people saying it do so either from ignorance (they simply don't believe/understand that you might not be able to opt out) or on the basis of outdated information, e.g. "I bought my TV ten years ago and never had to do this". Your experience being in the recent past I guess I could try this as a sale stipulation point, thanks.
The OpenBSD project maintains portable versions of many subsystems as packages for other operating systems. Because of the project's preferred BSD license, which allows binary redistributions without the source code, many components are reused in proprietary and corporate-sponsored software projects. The firewall code in Apple's macOS is based on OpenBSD's PF firewall code,[6] Android's Bionic C standard library is based on OpenBSD code,[7] LLVM uses OpenBSD's regular expression library,[8] and Windows 10 uses OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) with LibreSSL.[9]
This is surely only symbolic. It's something that is going to take any competent engineer or administrator about 90 seconds to work around. I'm sure no-one in Russia routes their traffic through an intermediate country that's not sanctioned like China or Belarus or anything like that...
Zim desktop wiki? I've used it for years. Cross platform, open source, lots of features. Bear in mind that there are a lot of plugins, including one specifically for journaling
Not seen where protected categories are mentioned but they aren't vague. The evidence will presumably be that she was thrown out/barred based on an automated camera recommendation. This will be on record and thus she can show harm. The security guard apparently gave a reason for ejection at the time, ditto. What can the retailer say? "Oh someone else told us she was someone else your honour"? Most likely they will try to settle out of court.
It seems that you've misunderstood what the issue is here from cloudflare's perspective. The customer was using cloudflare IP addresses, which is causing a knock-on effect for the rest of cloudflare's customers and putting cloudflare as a business themselves at risk. The alternative was for the customer to use their own IP addresses as cloudflare advised . I'm not sure what you think 'Business development' teams do but I certainly wouldn't be expecting engineering advice from them.
If there's 'nothing stopping' it then why has nobody done it? Apple moved from x86 to ARM. Mobile is all ARM. All the big cloud providers are doing their own ARM chips. Intel killed off much of the architectural competition with Itanic in the early 2000's. Why stop?
If you look at the price for a Mac versus a Windows computer, I think it's pretty obvious why people might choose a Windows device. For Linux, you really have to know where to look to buy a laptop that is shipped or warrantied with Linux. People tend to buy Windows computers because that's what's advertised available, familiar and in their price bracket.
Disclaimer: my main laptop is Mac. I have a secondary one running Linux and although I have a work laptop running Windows, that wasn't my choice and I don't have Windows on any personal devices.
Coming from what looks to me like a different perspective to many of the commenters here (Disclosure I am a professional platform engineer):
If you are already scripting your setups then yes you should absolutely learn/use Ansible. The key reasons are that it is robust, explicit, and repeatable- doesn't matter whether that's the same host multiple times or multiple hosts. I have lost count of the number of pet Bash scripts I have encountered in various shops, many of them created by quite talented people. They all had problems. Some typical ones:
The thing about Ansible is that it can be modular (if you want) and you can use other people's code but fundamentally it runs one step at a time. You will know for each step:
Are dependencies met?
Did that step succeed or fail (in realtime!)?
(If it failed) what was the error?
(Assuming you have written sane Ansible) you can re-run your playbook at any time to get the 'same' result. No worries about being left in an indeterminate state
Also you need to move on from 'as long as you don’t connect them to the internet'. It may have been true once, it isn't true anymore- see comments here about Roku TV including from OP and discussion on a recent Hacker news thread
Maybe 'Auras'?
