Look for the Windows Update Blocker app on MajorGeeks.

Not obvious at all. What's the point all these giant industrial complexes to get stuff done if you can't achieve economy of scale.

This is kind of funny, but if you assume that this book was written by AI, which is being used to train humans on it's hallucinations to program / improve AI, this almost becomes a link to singularity, with humans brains as part of the neural net.

Thanks for the link. Looks like I wasn't paying attention to tax law in '21.

I hope that means Digital Services sold in Canada will now have to collect and remit GST, just like everyone else. Otherwise, Gov't must stabbed Canadian Companies in the back! (not that I want to pay more tax, but giving US companies a 13% price advantage over Canadian companies is *huge*. Digital tax has to either be evenly applied, or scrapped altogether for everyone.

Or, you know, just use USB-A port if you don't have a full feature usb-c controller. Honestly, this should have been part of the USB-C from go, but good on Microsoft for stepping up where they failed.

The big difference for Framework from the other laptops is that most Frameworks are *pre-sold*. Framework can't plan a laptop price 2 months in advance when the person in charge of Tarrif policy changes his mind every 3 days with 0 notice, and suddenly, all those laptops for which you negotiated prices and sold will now cost you an extra, 10, 20, or 30% on the day they ship!

Allowing Seagate to keep supplying them Barracuda Hard Drives would be even better sabotage of Huawei business.

The assume all the risk. They pay up front for the inventory,, and when the business goes sour, they are left on the hook for it.

What better Solutions? Outlook? Windows Mail? Mac Mail? Web clients (any of them?)... pff....

I'll give the folks who like Evolution on Linux a tip of the hat.. .but Thunderbird is *way* better any any of those others mentioned.

Full End to End Encryption solution out of the box.

Easy to move profiles whole and intact between computers, even between operating systems.

Can handle 100 of GB of e-mail without issue.

Functional and easy to train spam filtering.

All told, It's a great product,, and I would say, more important now than ever before. (For the Encryption feature.)

After a very quick search, I find this article from 2020 that explains the complaint. There is the expected issue of Mohamed carricatures, but then this bit about "dissemination of misleading, wrong, deceptive and deceitful information through articles published on Wikipedia portraying Mirza Masroor Ahmad as a Muslim" makes it completely deranged.

The only problem I have with machine generated art is the data that is used to train it. AI art is just a fancy way of copying bits and pieces of other artwork... It's fine if the dataset is the artist's own work, or art that is out of copyright, or otherwise licensed in such a way that this would be acceptable. But it's a a *big* problem if you feed the AI art to which you do not have the rights.

It has been industry standard since the inception of passwords that users create their own passwords, and no matter how you repeat that they must not do so, they re-use passwords. The solution is simple. Don't let users create passwords. The website/service should generate a password for you. That would solve 90% of the current security issues with passwords.

That is *not* the Microsoft Store.
