Totally agree. And how about this: If you get food poisoning from a restaurant, you deal directly with them to resolve. If the food has been delivered by a 3rd party, what rights to resolve would you then have? Restaurants can simply state

"Windows installation now requires you to be logged in with a Microsoft account (no way to set it up with a local account)." That's not exactly a true statement - you can make a local account, depending on Windows version, bu

Yep, pretty much the above - I have a combination of rules that control all traffic. Only the router is allowed to use port 53 outbound - all other traffic is redirected using NAT to the router's DNS server. I mentioned Mikrotik previo

I switch between macOS (US International) and Windows (UK 88 Key), so I like to think I have a few skills. :D Also, I can touch type already (after far too many years of learning), but that obviates the necessity for allowing others the pos

They appear to not be trustworthy to be on our networks - so we should: 1. Not join them to our networks 2. Stop buying 'Smart TV's' 3. Get panels and a smart box that you can control I'm lucky enough to be able to direc

Was interested in a System76 laptop - no longer. US keyboard only, and "use stickers" for non-US? I'm out.

"comparing BBC journalists to people selling personal lifestyle as a product is insulting." Be that as it may, the BBC has become exactly that. It used to be the place to get news - now it's a magazine selling stuff instead -

I'm sure, at a push, a PC could be co-opted to do the work while a server (even online) could then be brought up to speed and the data migrated - but that's your use case. What we're talking about here is a government departm

There's not much to stop the devs from using open source tools to create a PHP web frontend and db backend for this data - and secure it as well. Heck, if they still need to export, they could do that from the data too. Sure - use Exce

Samsung's site selling Ads to those who buy them states clearly that TV's, Phones and Tablets are all monitored and viable options for delivery of ads, and the accurate determination of those who use them. See for yourself: https
