Microsoft leaves mitigation of this known and quite powerful phishing vector behind additional licensing requirements. You cannot reliably block Microsoft Entra device code flow without Entra ID Premium P1.

Password managers, FIDO keys will not help you as the authentication flow is happening in Microsoft servers.

In EU:

Violators of GDPR (personal data) may be fined up to €20 million, or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is greater.

Under NIS2 (cybersecurity), financial penalties may be up to either €10 million or 2% of the global yearly revenue, again, whichever is the greater amount.

You should try MS Copilot which uses open source Python libraries to interact with Office file formats.

The libraries themselves are OK, but MS uses them stupidly. If you want to fill out some form in DOCX or XSLX format you will get broken formatting. And this is from Office company.

Now you have "rounded edges" in Edge that add a content area limiting margins to all sides. Also, they took an open source browser and do not provide the source for Edge. So much for love of open source.

One shop network used blue paper here but changed to white some time ago.

Contrast was not great but I guess the price was the reason for the change.

I'm trying paid tier Gemini and it doesn't allow to keep have personal chat history when you disable training on your data, on reload of the page your chat is gone. Even free tier of ChatGPT allows disabling training on your data while allowing to keep such basic functionality.

Some technical advancements are not worth it if you do not respect your users.

You ran unverified debloat scripts (that could break in unexpected ways) on a clean "Pro" system to make it usable. It is and should be unacceptable.

By the way, Home version does not differ in annoyances from Pro version in any significant way in my experience.

I really wish the people who put so much effort into software like OpenWRT would put some of that effort into managing multiple devices in a nice, unified manner. The tooling could be so much better.

There is OpenWISP: Leveraging Linux OpenWrt, OpenWISP is an open-source solution for efficient IT network deployment, monitoring & management.

240V AC and 5V DC manage to live close in a charger without problems. Problems with quality does not depend on voltage. I love the concept of PoE with one exception that it requires constant 1W or similar load to work even if it is not needed for low power device.

* A microsoft account is only needed for Windows 11 Home. A "semi-power user" is hopefully not using that edition of Windows...

Both Home and Pro require Microsoft account to install and start using. Then you can create local only users in both editions and delete user joined to Microsoft account. This is standard operation even in OEM installs.

Yes it is not perfect. At least in Lithuania you can use government issued personal ID to sign PDFs that pass Adobe/Foxit checks of signature authenticity. Trusted timestamp is part of a valid signature as it allows to check validity of signee certificate at the time of signing.

Adobe says: Source of Trust obtained from European Union Trusted Lists (EUTL). This is a Qualified Electronic Signature according to EU Regulation 910/2014.

Foxit says: Source of Trust obtained from European Union Trusted Lists (EUTL). This is a Qualified Electronic Signature according to EU Regulation 910/2014.

If you use it or have it installed after 30 days without a buying, your company has violated the terms of the license.
