  • It’s probably just not worth it. MS makes the vast, vast majority of thier money on Windows licenses from the corporate sector and OEMs. Any revenue “lost” to MAS is a rounding error on thier toilet paper budget for thier offices.

    Both those posts on reddit are people being paranoid (especially the pchelp post, that user is self-admittedly ignorant), perhaps not wrongly, but it is open source and used frequently enough I’d imagine someone would have said something if there were issues.

    Personally, I’ve used it probably 3-4x without any issues. Take that for what you will.

    EDIT: Manual instructions are here if you wanna be really, really sure.



















  • Skipping past the obvious of paying off debts and buying a decent house, I’d do this:

    Found a company to sell tech products (Pinephone, but cooler). Only the best benefits, work environment, basically everything I hate about any job I’ve worked, fixed. I’d hire good people, and make damn sure they’re treated well. After everything is going well and with some kind of charter so they can’t decide to be evil, I’d turn the company over to my employees. I’d step down and become a janitor or something and work ~20 hours a week until I retire.

    Whatever money’s left over, if there is any, is given away.

    I want to work. I like working. I just want to work somewhere good, ya know?

    I’d just buy my employer but they made ~450m Euro after taxes so they might want more than a billion. Also fuck audits.
