Copyrights and Patents ought to be taxed by the holders of those protected classes. Choosing to not pay those taxes liberates those patents and copyrights to the public domain.
That's kind of how it works, except all the terms are different. Choosing not to go to court about it etc etc. No matter what it's choosing whether or not to spend the money.
This is the one kind of tax that I can get on board with, because it is 100% voluntary and doesn't force anyone to do anything.
But it does. Copyright is still backed up by rough men with guns.
Since they aren't sure, I'm betting it's an attack. When Microsoft gets attacked they are helpless. They still don't know what happened in those big azure hacks because they had no logs
You mean like coal?
Well, this is Microsoft so saying it's a Tech story is a bit misleading. It's 200[x]s tech, today!
THIS. It's one thing to connect to Microsoft to have them evaluate emails or whatever, it would also be a terrible idea, but at least it wouldn't cause what having Microsoft actually host the email is causing.
It's fucking pathetic what Microsoft "admins" do now. Mostly just hope Microsoft doesn't fuck things up, they don't do shit any more because they can't.
Allowing Microsoft to provide your email is like allowing Chuck E. Cheese to provide a substitute for Italian cuisine to your restaurant.

It's also having issues. Post counts aren't updating. Are they calculated with Outlook somehow?
This is affecting people right now
but legislation could maybe work.
Legislation from the same governments that brought us Five Eyes? Go on, pull the other one.
Huang's not an idiot,
Right, he's a conspirator.
Look at Trump's NVDA trade.
This whole fucking thing is theater.
Yeah but Russian automation is famously "throw more men at the problem", it's not like they have the money to make a good showing in robotics. They have blown it all on losing wars, and oligarchy.
Their only outlet? Then why does all the scary porn come from there?
The quote was from the comment thread, fuckass. This explains why you chose to be an NPC on slashdot, you're not qualified to play.
