also M$ has done deliberately

“Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don’t pay for the software. Someday they will, though,” Gates told an audience at the University of Washington. “And as long as they’re going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.”

There are good reasons why you should limit yourself from using cloud based services. Even you are paying for the service, they can change ToS however they want.

And free cloud services the worst of it all, because they want to take all your data., they don’t even care if it’s a confidential company document.

oh great news!!

I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.

not a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago

Yes, I guess it’s better than you landing in the United States and a few days later, ICE flies you to El Savador.

My next issue is that sometimes it just hard-freezes. Zero warning, under no load, I can’t even move the mouse. Linux on the desktop

The threat of tornadoes, destructive winds, and damaging hail will peak from Wednesday afternoon, April 2, into early Thursday. Then comes the deluge — perhaps a foot or more of rain, adding up to what could be some of the heaviest three- or four-day totals ever recorded in what is normally a moist region notorious for flooding.

the current outbreak is the third highest

I also saw there is a possibility of winter storms coming this month

According to EFF in the article

Do not wipe your phone

You might think the most protective options are to completely wipe your phone before traveling, use a burner or travel without a phone. But the EFF’s Cope said that could actually raise suspicions.

“People are damned if they do and damned if they don’t,” Cope said. “If you cross the border with no data on your device, that itself can be seen as suspicious.”

Instead, if you want to seem cooperative but do have data or texts stored on your phone that you wouldn’t want to be accessed, Cope suggests deleting that information selectively rather than wiping your whole device.
