MS will erect another campus and things will go back to "normal". Hopefully this will last at this time...

Good documentary about MS hold over German government: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duaYLW7LQvg

The only private payment method is cash.

Thanks for the video link. Very interesting. This is how all computers will be built eventually. So seize the means of computation until we can...

Google will just say that pages with DRM will rank higher in their search and it's all done.

You could try destination NAT with netfilter/iptables (DNAT) and terminate TLS on your home server.

This way packets will be forwarded to the home server without beign decrypted on the VSP.

I used to rip Amiga game soundtracks by putting a tape recorder near the TV speaker. This will work for any DRM content :) Obviously it is lossy, you would need a recorder of some form and it will take a long time for audiobooks. My tape deck had a turbo feature... you could try playing audiobooks faster and then reduce the speed of the recording if such option exists.

If you have a computer with line-in input this will work better than acoustic-coupling :)

As the old Gentoo mantra goes: stuff breaks so you can learn things :D

If you put all the effort and learning needed to keep Windows from fucking you over, into learning Linux you would not only be an expert user buy now, but also potentially could build a good career around that knowledge as it is actually useful.

I think that all this ad driven businesses did in the last decade was to undermine trust in technology in general. Nothing can function without trust...

Good reason to demand free software Wi-Fi firmware.
