HP already kind of does this. Some of their printers stop working after 2 weeks if you don’t sign in with an HP account and let them access the internet

Do not, under any circumstances, conduct any private business on it.

This is true of any work device regardless of the OS

If they’re a Microsoft shop you’d have better luck asking for hyperv

I didn’t realize that setting existed, I’ve gotta go find and disable it. So sick of rewinding davie504 videos to hear what he has to say about the song. Thank you!

I get where you’re coming from but nowadays a dynamic public IP is ‘dynamic’ in that it can change but rarely if ever will unless you switch ISPs or equipment.

you would definitely want a static IP (as opposed to updating DNS entries all the time)

Also any IP from a dynamic range is going to make spam filters lose their shit

Heck, you can’t even use it to give a slideshow without risking Windows Update deciding to reinstall your whole OS mid presentation! Ask me how I know.

There are several ways to prevent that. There’s a lot of valid criticism to be made about windows but it’s hard to take someone seriously who apparently doesn’t know how to use the OS.

For a look at what being governed by chatgpt would look like, watch pluribus

Oh, the ones who made the last steam machine and controller and supported them for 10 minutes

If valve is working on it (which it looks like they are) it’s a matter of if than when

Which valve? The one that made half life? Lol

Occasionally people with backronym it as “race inspired cosmetic enhancements” so they can continue saying it with plausible deniability

It takes a lot of introspection and work to get past culturally ingrained bigotry. I was a teenager in the 90s. Back then, and still through the 2000’s via internet culture, everyone and everything was a “fag”. I didn’t recognize that it was a problem until way later than I should have, and I still almost say it sometimes. I don’t have any problem with gay people. It’s just a weird form of muscle memory. People don’t understand that listeners don’t know what their intentions are. They just know what you said. You gotta internalize that fact before you can change your language.

The funniest part of this is that the Vision OS website runs on windows

Wah, this company isn’t willing to spend time and money supporting my OS that’s been EOL for over 5 years

Native is faster than virtualized, who could have ever imagined.

Terminal servers, sccm, SQL, software that’s only available for Windows. Companies and governments don’t consider ideology when they choose a platform. They consider “what do I need to run this product” and “what’s the TCO”. Most larger orgs will have a healthy mix of windows and *nix servers and often a separate team to manage each.

Just about every government and business. I’m guessing you’ve never had a job in IT.

VMs aren’t emulation. Its a full OS running on virtual hardware. Also, yes, azure offers several distros, not just Microsoft’s.

The OS of the bare metal host shouldn’t matter much, if at all, to the guest. If you have a philosophical issue with the hypervisor running under windows I doubt you’d be using azure to begin with.

Its not emulation, it’s a Microsoft distro
