Hardcore gamers tend to play competitive multiplayer games which today predominantly rely on anti-cheat detection with an in-kernel component. When these fail to run (because Linux is not supported) or when they detect you are trying to run it from a Windows VM with some form of GPU passthrough, the player account gets banned.

Comment windows app updates (Score 1) 159

The every-app-has-its-own-auto-update agent and infrastructure on Windows is a disaster in the making. It's not like we had enough warnings about thid in the past. For a long time, Microsoft was gatekeeping their update infrastructure by limiting their Store to UWP apps - now that they have come back on that decision, is there any reason not to depend on the update logic and infrastructure provided by Microsoft? On Linux I believe the equivalent risk more or less is adding third party repositories where the signing key isn't properly secured and segregated from the repository infrastructure.

Comment the number one use case of NTLMv1 (Score 3, Informative) 34

RADIUS using MSCHAPv2 authentication is the number one use case of NTLMv1 in the IT infrastructure of organizations. While it's very doable (and strongly recommended) to switch to X.509-based auth for wireless auth, typically username/password auth remains in use to administrate switches, routers and other physical network devices. Microsoft even excludes MSCHAPv2 for RADIUS from the NTLMv1 depracation timeline and MS NPS has a registry setting to allow keep using NTLMv1 even when it has been 'disabled' on the domain controller.

SailfishOS runs on the standard Android kernel, so it should be easy to port Android to the phone. The whole Android/libhybris approach coincidentally also the reason I'm not interested in this phone, and why I am of the opinion that GrapheneOS is the wrong approach unless if you ONLY care about cutting out Google from your personal data. What about all others that still can have access?

you can still rent computer resources that are 5-7 years old on AWS/Azure/etc. Why write off hardware when there are still willimg customers paying for them? It's not competitive compared to modern compute in terms of perf/watt (and thus perf/$), but some customers don't want to (re)valide proper functioning on a different platform.
