Yes, you have pointed out the subtext that was there all along and pretended like it's some new argument.

It is about the data sharing. The US doesn't like companies sharing data with countries that it views as its geopolitical rivals. Big surprise, am I right?

Windows Server is an option.

The operating system is called "Windows Server". It doesn't necessarily have to run on a mainframe. It has the regular Windows GUI (with a few differences, the first you'll notice is "Cntr+Alt+Del to log in") and can run regular Windows programs.

Well, running Windows 10, a consumer user-oriented operating system, to control mission-critical machines is mistake number 1.

This wouldn't have happened if they had used Windows Server or something actually designed for that task (like Linux!).

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in That's LTT in the bottom

I'm saying it's never happened to me. Not once. Zero times. Zero is less than one.

Normal Windows updates don't take an hour long. Give me a break. The ones that do are the version upgrades. That's like the equivalent of a distro upgrade.

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in Don't have this problem to be honest, I'm the sysadmin 😁

Yes because developers don't call tech support when they've accidentally deleted the Outlook icon from their desktop.

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in That's LTT in the bottom

I'm going to be honest with you, as often as this has been memed and for as long as I have been using Windows on my work computer, I have never once been forced to restart on the spot by an automatic update.

I'm sure those who have will be quick to reply but at this point I'm 90% confident it's a loud minority.

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in no contradiction here at all

Every operating system sucks. It's just that they differ in what aspects they suck in.

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to Technology in Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service

It's not coercive at all under that definition. It's not an attempt to be coercive. Think about it more before replying.

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to Technology in Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service

Again, this does not seem to be getting through to you.

You can click the "agree" button to get back full functionality.

A court would just rule that your clicking of that button does not bind you into a contract.

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in How to access external NextCloud datafolder

The data is all stored server-side. The worst that could happen is the sync connection stops working and you need to redownload the files. Nothing gets deleted by these commands. They will still be on your disk and accessible by you.

If this breaks Nextcloud, it indicates something's wrong with your installation.

NateNate60 , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in How to access external NextCloud datafolder

I'm guessing you're talking about the client, right? The data folder on the server shouldn't be touched or modified, except by Nextcloud.

Check who owns the folder. I'll assume the folder is at ~/Nextcloud, but if it's not, just substitute in the path to the Nextcloud folder.

You can check who owns the folder using ls:

ls -la ~/Nextcloud

This should give you something like:

drwx------ 10 user group    4096 2024-03-04 00:00 Nextcloud

Where the word "user" is in the above example should be the name of the owner of the directory. Where the word "group" is should be the group.

If either is root, check to make sure the Nextcloud client is not running as root (using sudo or otherwise).

Otherwise, give yourself ownership of the directory:

sudo chown username:username -R ~/Nextcloud

Replace username with your username.

(1) Wer einen Menschen rechtswidrig mit Gewalt oder durch Drohung mit einem empfindlichen Übel zu einer Handlung, Duldung oder Unterlassung nötigt, wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft.

(1) Wer rechtswidrig eine fremde Sache beschädigt oder zerstört, wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu zwei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft.

(2) Ebenso wird bestraft, wer unbefugt das Erscheinungsbild einer fremden Sache nicht nur unerheblich und nicht nur vorübergehend verändert.

I ran Google Translate on these:

(1) Anyone who unlawfully coerces a person into an act, tolerance or omission by force or by threat of serious harm will be punished with a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine.

(1) Anyone who unlawfully damages or destroys someone else's property will be punished with a prison sentence of up to two years or a fine.

(2) Anyone who unauthorizedly changes the appearance of someone else's property in a way that is not just insignificant and not just temporary will also be punished.

Firstly, the terms and conditions screen is not "force". Secondly, the television is not damaged by making you accept such conditions. The software doesn't work but you don't own the software, you own the hardware. Even if there is no way to install other software on the system. Thirdly, the terms and conditions originally agreed to allow this (changes to the terms and conditions) to happen. It is not unauthorised. Fourthly, and most importantly, you can just physically click the "agree" button to the terms and conditions to get back the functionality. The remedy is for a court to consider that agreement unenforceable.

My God. You just used words that you think are criminal offences, and then proclaimed that you think they applied. "Last I checked" my arse, you did not check at all.

And when I tell you to read the statutes and show why you think they apply, you go and say "No, that's not my job" because you're either too lazy to Google search the text of the law or you're afraid of seeing that you wouldn't be able to justify your point.

You claim this is a criminal offence. You can't cite or don't want to cite any criminal statutes substantiating your claim. Instead you just speak out of your ass instead of checking to make sure. The information's there. You just don't want to read it.

You're wrong. Just quit the conversation already. You're not winning this one.

NateNate60 , 4 months ago to Technology in HP is in the rent-a-printer business now

Printing shops have existed as long as there have been printers. People rarely need to print anything anyway but most will convince themselves against it because they think it's a hassle or that they will print a lot more than they actually do.

Many people I know end up replacing their ink cartridges almost every time they have to print because it's been so long that the ink has dried up...
