You mean like what they’re doing to VMware and canning perpetual licenses the second they took over? I guess in some ways they are actually great for FOSS, because I’ve never seen more interest by Enterprise in Proxmox before they made that decision.

Wow. I genuinely can’t believe people are upvoting you for this. Like yeah, I super agree it’s a dark pattern. Stealing people’s data is WAY worse though, uploading potentially sensitive photos or documents to their cloud with no user input. But according to you that’s fine because it’s less obtrusive and annoying? Yeesh I’m glad I don’t have your priorities.

Edit: Like, have you seen most people’s home screens? They’ll have a dozen other “red dots” and it becomes part of the background. In the same way as you talk about with Windows errors. Here’s mine:

Oh noooo, a red dot on the Settings app…with all the other red dots…

That’s not true at all friend, they released this week: https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/laptops/copilot-pcs-are-here-11-snapdragon-x-elite-laptops-you-can-buy-right-now

Oh no, an annoying red dot. Microsoft are straight up hoovering up users data into the cloud by automatically enabling syncing. These two things are not even close to the same.

Are you purposefully talking to It using the third person? Because that just seems like a roundabout way of misgendering them on purpose, with an extra dash of disrespect.

That site links to advertisements for a VPN now…

Nah got a bunch of bunnings stuff as well. The Arlec Grid Connect stuff works well, I got a smart plug with a USB that actually has a separate relay for the 5V.

Yeah I wasn’t judging at all mate. Just reminds me of my childhood, sneaking back up at night to watch the music videos :)

Yeah but I feel like the spirit of open source is still to allow it imo. First point on the Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd

I’m in Australia and we still do this? I have a loyalty discount for being a customer for 7 years, AU$57/month for unlimited data on my mobile and free calls to 40 countries ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m not sure they have, but there’s still so much stock of old firmware out there, there are even companies who straight up haven’t pushed an update for their devices yet. Maybe I’m having more luck because I’m Aussie? But even CostCo had a home-brand of bulbs they haven’t updated yet.

Does M-class include the requirement of having 1.0g (or near enough)? I didn’t know that. Does that mean the federation is only made up of planets where humans don’t look daft moving around? Or maybe it has something to do with production budgets… 🤔

Gosh seeing that “rage” tv bug in the corner is nostalgic.

I thought that it was canonical, at least in some series, that the viewscreen is a window that displays a 1x view of outside and any time they want to zoom in, or are hailed, if turns into a monitor? I swear there’s been multiple times where someone was sucked out of the bridge through it.

Doesn’t the sun’s, and other star’s, magnetic field cause this phenomenon?

Is this true for everything in orbit though? Like, the ISS is in near earth orbit and so it’s absolutely just falling. But what about things up in a geostationary orbit? What about the moon?

‘Resolutions’ called, it wants to build up a relationship between Janeway and Chakotay and then throw it away never to be heard from again.

There’s Tuya Cloudcutter now that can hack a lot of current devices wirelessly. It’s a good way to get cheap “open firmware” IoT devices.

Yes but I’d imagine it’s a cloud API if it’s paid, not a local API. While yes, you could use this to make a HA integration, it would never reach platinum status. The customer seems to he wanting them to open up the API calls the “Brain” makes to the cloud, to intercept them.
