  • The references to subscription were related to IoT Enterprise Subscription, which has nothing to do with the consumer facing OS that we all use. There's also no mention whatsoever of Windows 12 in this leak, or anything else coming from Microsoft, except for NeoWin's clickbait articles where they slap the 12 and make false claims without any basis, such as the one pcmag based this article on.






  • The tech community quickly jumps to conclusions without actually reading anything. The last I check it, the law only allowed for certified repair shops to disassemble and repair phones with their tools, without needing something specialized from the OEM or any extra activation steps, but people jumped to the conclusion that the average Joe could entirely dismantle their phone with a screwdriver from the comfort of their home.






  • It’s funny how out of touch with reality Americans are.

    Here in Brazil I’m paying around 20 USD for fiber optic 1000mbps down and 500mbps up without data caps. Brazilian law also only considers piracy a crime if there’s profit (i.e. trying to sell a movie I’ve downloaded), so there’s no need to hide anything.

    Editing for more information:

    My home internet speeds almost never drop below 90%, there’s also a law that requires ISPs to deliver at least 80% of what was paid for. You can easily port forward, there are no blocks or anything. We also have dynamic IPs, but you can easily get around that by using a DDNS.

    My mobile plan is around $15, I get 45GB monthly with 5G at no extra cost (5G gets around 300-600mbps down depending on the time of the day), unlimited calling to any number in the country, unlimited SMS (nobody uses SMS though), and for roaming I get 1GB daily internet and 1 hour daily calling with no extra cost.

    All of this is cheap and very accessible to everyone.
