    Yeah, but it lies.

    No it doesn’t, at least not if the update isn’t already a month overdue

    But a future Windows update will reset them without informing the user.

    I’ve done 3 years worth of updates in one day cause I needed too. Pretty much everything was reset including registry edits, but the privacy toggles were one of the few things that stayed persistent. Maybe it’s a EU special feature (wouldn’t be the first), but at least here they won’t change back silently.






  • First, how does one even “fail” on MSO?

    Secondly, you switched over the least tech savvy people that relied solely on an existing workflow to get anything done. You destroyed their workflow, denied them the option to use older documents as a reference due to how badly messed up MS documents often get when opened with Libre and you gave them an alternative that’s just different enough that nothing works as expected, but still similar enough to just be seen as a different office version.

    These are the last clients id switch over.


  • Can they find out?

    No, not really. The Metadata doesn’t have a “pirated” flag and something like the product key doesn’t get saved. Microsoft themselves probably know due to their telemetry but even they can’t be bothered about it. I would bet that even you send a pirated document to the Microsoft CEO, they wouldn’t notice or even care enough to look for it.

    But as always there is the important rule of “don’t fuck with work stuff, ever”.

    It’s already questionable why she is editing company documents on here private PC without either a dedicated and remotely managed work particition + VPN or an O365 online work account. These documents fall under far stricter data safety regulations and the way it is right now, she is personally liable for any data leaks.

    In a dorm its legal but may be against your contract.

    At school/work you probably aren’t officially allowed to charge your devices, so it’s theft.

    Even if you are allowed to charge your phone at work, they technically may have to meter it and tax it as additional benefits depending on your country.




  • You don’t play many competitive multiplayer titles then. Anticheat us always a pain.

    Battleye and Easy Anti Cheat are Linux native, but just cause that’s the case doesn’t mean they will work. Half of the games using them either never had an official linux version or are currently broken again.

    A few games using Xigncode and nProtect work too, but there the number is even lower.

    Punkbuster worked on wine for 5 years but often needs to be installed manually.

    As for the more aggressive ones like Riccochet and Vanguard, you can’t even run them in a VM environment.

    Tbh, the amount of users uninstalling edge is so miniscule, it would not be worth it to mess with them by blocking updates.

    This probably comes from the way Edge is integrated into a fuckton of background processes and wasn’t a targeted attack.



  • Jako301@feddit.detolinuxmemes@lemmy.worldBye bye edge

    Doing all that takes about 2 hours. The shady ass tool is also unnecessary since you can manually change the registry entries. Once it’s done I can install anything by double clicking the exe and it runs 99.9% of the time.

    Linux meanwhile only takes half an hour to setup and update (if we are talking about a beginner friendly one like mint cinnamon), but you will use a lot more hours trying to get everything to run. There rarely are good drivers for peripherals, to get even slightly more then the most barebone functions of my logitech gear I have to run a shady github project someone slapped together 3 years ago. The adaptive clock on my laptop doesn’t work, I loose about 2 hours of battery life and the touch pad stops working after a few hours.

    I dualboot a win10 ltsc version and mint. By now most stuff runs fine on Linux, but it has taken me 10 times the effort to get to that state compared to windows. And even now I occasionally have to fiddle with wine cause it decides that this specific programm isn’t to its liking. And that’s ignoring the issue it was to run anything with anticheat. That requires a VM with GPU passtrough to even remotely work.
