Nah, they'll just sue you if you're using VGA instead of HDMI since it obviously means you are trying to crack DRM and thus running afoul of DMCA.
Everyone loves listening to their favorite purchased movie while watching a black screen
Nuh-uh, sound has to go over HDMI as well. You may only partake in your own culture through DRM-approved channels.
This got me thinking, could you still get an abortion in the bad parts of the US if you trademarked your DNA, and claimed that the condom breaking violated DMCA?
You know, show up at the doctors with a ton of papers headlined
CEASE AND DESIST
Or at least get child support out of Durex?
I think you've taken the long way around to becoming a sovereign citizen
I sometimes do drink myself to sovereign citizen. Unlike most of those people, I do get sober the next morning.
More worryingly, I wonder if a male can force a pregnant woman to have an abortion using that logic.

What about my Hercules graphics card?
Sorry, it put on a poisoned shirt and had to jump into a fire.
I swear, it's no longer possible to distinguish satire from reality.
It does sound like something they would do.
Advise people on installing Linux? Yes.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install
I expected WSL instructions. Tyrns out there are instructions for both WSL and bare metal. MS outdid themselves.

They'd name it Microsoft Windows Deprecation Maker 2024 Enterprise 11 though.

It really feels like no matter what community you look at on Lemmy, every 3rd post is Windows bad Linux good. It's honestly a bit exhausting. And I've been running Linux for over a decade...
For real lol makes me feel a little alienated. I just want to play games on my computer

Ok but this one is funi
This is how the Internet was back in the 90s
And it’s your fault if it happens to you, because we sent you EMAILS telling you it was going to happen!
Lol, SCSI
You've got to give Microsoft credit for their dedication to backwards compatibility.

That's a term I haven't heard in a very, very long time. I keep one in a drawer with my Sound Blaster PCMCIA card.
I work at a MSP, and we support a variety of customers, some with quite old hardware. I still on occasion have to assist in replacing 1.8TB SCSI 7200RPM drives in a RAID array. Finding compatible drives gets harder every time.
I'm glad this wasn't posted like 3 weeks ago when my laptop battery died on me. otherwise I woulda thought this was legit happening
Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can't start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(
There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/911963/dual-boot-with-windows-10-broken-after-update
I'm assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.
Windows might have changed the boot order in your bios, so just go into your bios and check if the mint partition is set to boot first
Yeah with EFI the days of Windows completely overwriting your Linux bootloader are mostly over.

This is what can happen dual booting from the same drive. If the windows bootloader updates it can override grub.
Usually you can still boot to the Linux partition from the efi menu manually. Then you can find dozens of guides to reinstall grub to fix this.
But it's likely to keep happening. Best dual boot setup is to have a second drive dedicated to non windows.

Is that actually possible? I don't know how much privilege an operating system has. I would think if would need to go deeper
i mean an os could definitely overvolt the gpu, that's how users do it
Pretty sure the gpu BIOS is limited by default, nothing the OS can do about that.
Same for other parts like the cpu - core voltage is determined by the motherboard.
I doubt the os can just go “2V vcore” and blow up hardware.
Yeah there's quite a bit of safety mechanisms in place but I imagine windows could just adjust all the gpu overclocking settings to the max and make the system unstable. Plus just reformat all of your drives

Fedora 40 is also a nice intro distro, can attest to that
Haven't given Linux a proper chance on my desktop on a few years, till windows 11 finally became too frustrating. Aside from a very short headache with my nvidia drivers, fedora has been absolutely flawless and much less of a pain in my aSs than windows..
