Including DOB goes above and beyond what the state of California is demanding. They just demand to report that I'm over 18.

Were the product key labels fake? That wasn't stated in the brief, only that she was said to have "illegally trafficked MS product key labels".
It's more like someone purchasing a case of valid store product coupons for cheap, finding a way to market them to the public selling them for a bit more than she paid. Just look at what she was charged with, ie not providing the software with the product key labels.

This reminds me of when Microsoft send their goons after school districts across the US threatening license verification processes costing 10s of thousands of dollars or else relicense the latest versions of Microsoft software. They only stopped when a couple of school districts removed Windows and Microsoft software and installed Linux and open source software AND did a presentation at the annual schools IT conference on how they saved 100s of thousands of dollars annually by dumping Microsoft.

Hopefully she finds some lawyers willing to take up the appeal and expose how this is a corporate policy failure, not a criminal action.

That's what a Dell salesman told me when I complained that BIOS takes forever. But... as a sysadmin, part of my job is to setup servers. So I do waste a large amount of my time waiting for servers to boot up, even though later on they never do need to (re)boot. I wish coreboot gained adoption on the server space. But no, we keep getting stupid Dell and HPe slow boot. And don't even get me started on AMI BIOS: these are a no-go for us.

That's "Rocksmith +" which is a different product.

They still sell the old RS2014, but it doesn't come with any songs, as they only had licenses to sell songs for 10 years.

They still sell some of the newer DLC. The last DLC (Opeth, fuck yeah!) was released in 2020, so that will likely be available until May 2030. Of course, there is little reason to bother with official DLC for RS2014, as there is a mountain of unofficial goodies over on Customsforge.

Really, the only good thing about Rocksmith+ is that it has a regular guitar tab view as an option.

Good.

Rocksmith 2014 is the only game they've published that didn't suck, and it still stank like Ubisoft. At least it doesn't require uPlay nonsense.

So it would sink and harm a larger part of the population which voted for him like that Big Bowser Bill he told Congress to vote yes on.
Go for it, death by a thousand needles it is.

So you're telling me all those with good credit don't get those 19%-21% CC rates but instead get nice low rates? LOL
So the knuckleheads get dropped and they move to other options while the majority of the population gets 10% rates.
I don't think it will happen and I think Trump has other motivations than doing what will help the public.

"The American Bankers Association warned that such a cap "would only drive consumers toward less regulated, more costly alternatives."

LOL, I'm sure people would see that they now have a 10% cap on their CC interest rate and jump to one with an interest rate more than 10%.
Because that's the smart thing to do?

Does taking less qualify as putting money in their pockets?
Taking less give the belief that the amount not taken is then left in their pockets to spend but anyone who carries CC debt such that this would make much of a difference will be underwater so much that it only slightly increases the distance between them and the bottom of the lake.

But it would give Donald Trump a good number to spin to his voters.

I remember when they spun up and it was well understood that it was going to be an open source non-profit entity.
I'm not surprised the judge saw enough evidence to go forward.

Now, Not-OpenAI will do everything they can to show Musk is a nutcase and confused. But the jury will likely see that and recognize it but it won't change the facts that it was started and stated as being a non-profit open source entity. And everyone who bought into the profit route will be against this since they like to keep their stuff secret. Even the "open source company called Microsoft" LOL

It's not. People contributing to distros do not do so as "a [...] reaction by those with the talent to create the alternatives they prefer". They do so for various reasons, but I'm guessing, the one you're saying is only for a very tiny minority. Mostly, people that contribute are already users of the distro, and just want to make it better. It's as simple as that.

Excuse-me ? The IPCC was formed in 1988, not in the 70s...

I hate that some folks need to have this explained to them.

Silence != consent

It cuts the scalpers out of the transaction. Since Ticketmaster has become a first-party scalper, it simply hands them a monopoly on the practice.

Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking 'Does this inject a security flaw or hazard?' Now to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all decades just how insecure Microsoft software is. But being this is a Linux kernel, the most powerful kernel in the world, and will blow Microsoft's kernel clean off the rack, you've gotta ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya?
