i am thinking this issue description is implying that EVERYONE using the windows build image was broken. MS probably had a hard coded license in the build image which expired. idk, could be reading it wrong

don’t give me hope like that
typical Azure. duct tape and bubble gum holding everything together
Larry Ellison just gave a big talk on this tech coming to America soon. fuckin billionaires
if this comes with tetris attack I’m buying
a monopoly patent was literally a government invention. an actual monopoly does require the government. what you are talking about is called a “natural monopoly” in the literature. that would be a situation where there’s only one seller for something like say water in a desert town. in that case you can have price gouging and such.
now, the important bit is the LEGAL ability to prevent competition. if there is a natural monopoly on water, and the seller decided to start charging obscene amounts for water, those extreme profits would normally induce other sellers to enter the market. except when they are legally prohibited, we can expect that a natural monopoly will not last if what we call “monopoly rents” are extracted.
so you see, a true monopoly requires legal force, eg the state.
but almost no two libertarians will agree about those things. if you think there is only one “blessed” or accepted viewpoint on those topics, you’ve been duped.
for example on the rights of kids. there will be somebody who will argue they fully own themselves and parents are never allowed to hit children or otherwise harm them. then there will be some idiot who argues that because babies are helpless and the parents made it, that the parents “own” the child until some point and can do what they want with it. other libertarians will have even more differing viewpoints.
AoM was ok but kinda boring. I really just want Rise of Nations tho!
wow that was hilarious. great read
i took my kids to see it in IMAX and they came out calling it the best sci fi movie of all time haha. it was a ton of fun
and 99.9% of the time it is less than 10
sounds like a good idea for a lemmy post or something
yep, my most heavily-trafficked site is https://bongo.to which Cloudflare doesn’t support for registration. so i have the domain registered with Namecheap but hosted still via Cloudflare. Nowadays I’d check out Porkbun also, I’ve heard good things.
in case you were wondering, you can attach a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. or you can use it to act as a monitor for your macbook, so you could type on that. theres a virtual keyboard too, but if course it would suck to work on (based on second hand reports, i’ve never used one)
i think “really big screen” for movies or laptop display is about it for useful work features. also, some people like to put windows everywhere and work like that ig.
that’s actually an anti-pattern. the purpose if a copyright notice is not to declare the current year to each visitor, fyi.
i disconnected my xbox from the internet since the new fallout 4 update dropped. mainly because i was playing this mod and didn’t want it to break
lmao. what a stupid idea
what the heck. thanks for the info!
Cloudflare is by far the cheapest registrar & host I’ve used. I’m on their free plan, which can handle almost any load (thousands of requests a week for me personally). The domains are sold at cost, so around $10 for my dot-coms. So $10/yr covers it.
i imagine MS just hard coded a random license key into the build image and it expired. the issue doesn’t say exactly tho
