Open sourcing your code, and relying on it, is more of a risk to orgs now that AI can actually analyze it and find 20 year old vulnerabilities no one saw.
As opposed to closed source where no one will ever know that a 20 year vulnerability is being exploited by unless the company acknowledges it (if that company is till around).
Unless the opponents of LPR cameras can figure out how to outlaw either computers or security cameras, this is a doomed cause. An LPR camera is literally nothing but a high quality camera connected to a computer network, with image recognition software being run on the video stream.
That's a false dichotomy argument that people are against computers or security cameras. What people are against is the state using automated surveillance with LPR. People are also against police using that technology with little oversight including many, many cases of stalking. People are also against the tax payer paying for all of that.
It still doesn't include a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Those are called laptops. Yes some manufacturers throw in a keyboard and mouse for free but few throw in a monitor for free unless it's an all-in-one. Mini PCs generally do not include keyboard, mouse, or monitor. At my company there were bins of keyboards and mice in the computer supply closet that no one used. I think you can buy them used by the pallet.
The original assumption was you'd just use the peripherals from your previous machine, but macOS doesn't support subpixel font rendering, so text looks pretty bad on 1080p monitors (which are still surprisingly common)
That's your opinion that they look bad but the main reason Apple disabled subpixel font rendering since Mojave (2018) is that does not look good on higher resolutions displays like Retina.
Then there's the keyboard, which unless your previous machine was a mac, you'll probably need a new one of those, too.
Why? Unless your ancient keyboard uses ancient 5 pin DIN, USB keyboards works. I've plugged in Windows keyboards into Macs and they work. Sure, the mapping of certain keys is different but I don't need a new keyboard.
That just leaves the mouse, which kind of seems like punishing yourself if you've replaced everything else.
Again why? Any USB mouse works. I've used Dell mice with Macs, and, again, they just work.
$900 is a far cry from the total out door price you'll be spending.
Have you actually used USB keyboards and mice with a Mac in the last 30 years because it seems like you have not.
Let's say XINUOS somehow scores a home run and proves IBM improperly contributed to Linux.
The problem for Xinuos is even if they succeed at proving this, it means nothing legally. As the district court and the appeals court noted, Xinuos does not have standing to sue. The assets Xinuos purchased from SCO Group in 2011 specifically excluded claims related to IBM/Project Monterrey. Those claims were settled between SCO Group and IBM in 2021. Xinuos tried to argue before SCO Group's bankruptcy court that they had a stake which the court denied. The second reason is statute of limitations restricts any claims Xinous to at most 3 years after they purchased the copyrights in 2011, not 10 years later in 2021. Thus IBM won summary judgement.
