Depends on the enterprise. If you're a 1 user to 1 device shop maybe. If you're an institution with shared devices...good fucking luck, be prepared to enter device management hell

Not really slower, just more shit going on under the hood than ever before. Considering all of the novel ways to attack the operating system, the ubiquity and level of integration of computing in everything, the OS is a much higher value target than it used to be back in the days of Xp-7. However, MS has introduced numerous security features and significantly improved the built in AV. 10/11 is a hell of a lot more secure, but there is a performance cost to that. That and the software we run on top of it has only gotten more resource hungry and complex as well. There are also things that you might hate but are worlds better than they used to be. Updates are a lot faster, support automatic rollback and are practically flawless compared to the broken mess they used to be. We now have things that were never possible before, like first party tools to convert a MBR/BIOS-boot system to UEFI boot.

I'll concede the point about service advertisements, however depending on the edition that is suppressable. MS is not alone in its sinful capitalism however, MacOS is full of stuff like that too, they're just sneakier/more subtle about it. MS will have you griping about their promoted services or apps; Apple will have you licking their boots and not realizing it because you've deluded yourself. The only operating systems that are really free are the ones no company fully owns. I work with multiple different operating systems in an IT job, and the notion that it is acceptable to run old versions of Windows in this day and age or that they were objectively better is just nostalgic horseshit. It was always a corporate product, you're just chafing against that now.

What a waste of skin, hope he dies in a car accident

Yep. Bastards aren't getting my dollars for the forseeable future. Fuck em

Yeah I'm in it for a month now. I shop at my local green grocers, Food Basics and Freshco now. And I live damn close to nofrills. Bastards

Yeah if I could look like Legolas forever I might do that. As it stands I'm headed in the direction of depressed middle aged father but less handsome so idk

I disagree with the conceit that everything and everyone in this place is all about exploitative behavior. I do agree that that tends to be the nature of our politicians. I'm not stumping for the Liberal party, and certainly they've allowed whatever private sector forces free reign to gouge us in the past, that's just a feature of our "wonderful capitalist system". The common ideology between lib/con forces is that they both expect to profit off of being in power, the difference is that the cons tend to want to do it at any cost, and hate social services. They both love to cozy up to private interest, but the cons will actively seek the destruction of any social service. There are reasons to try to convince folks to not support them even if the alternative kind of blows. I would rather neither as well, but what exactly are you advocating for?

Big surprise. Tories want to defund social/public services and funnel funds that were meant for it into the private sector...pricks just want to ruin everything and join the aristocracy. Same old same old. Ruin public infrastructure, prop up your buddies' for profit operations, maybe get a kickback, call it a day. Having a conservative government is like having organized crime in power.

Now now, it's not fair to say things like 'MS stole all their ideas from Apple' without saying 'both of them stole all their ideas from Xerox PARC'...but mostly the good ones. But anyhow, that's old hat and both companies have been iterating on their own platforms for ages since those days and each operating system has mutated into its own particular beast.

I object to the author of this laying all of the blame on MS. Apple software design is the worst offender when it comes to coddling users into a state of being unable to troubleshoot issues themselves, IMO. Want to discover anything more than the extremely limited options available in the GUI? Well too bad, you don't know the secret keystroke. What's that, there's literally no documentation for this CLI utility? An error occurred! Here's an incomprehensible report that looks like a dog's breakfast, good luck. Despite its BSD roots, MacOS is heinously bad in terms of user education, and it is seen as the "easiest OS to use".

As has been mentioned, use your U lock to lock the frame. If you can include the wheel and the frame that's best but often needs a big U lock.

I recommend purchasing wheel security devices such as pinheads or pitlocks and then you don't really need to worry about locking your wheels so much
