Globally, it’g gone up. The US is not representative of the entire planet

Well, depending on your use case, you might not care. If you want casual power point editing on your laptop, just slap a cheap key and it will work fine, buy another one for your home desktop and you are still <10% of a “genuine” licence. If you change your pc just buy a new one and you might even find a newer version. As for the MS account, I don’t know anyone who uses it for office licence sharing, so I can’t tell about it

You can buy legit office keys for like 4$ on many sites. It might just be a couple years old

How would random laywers have access to your number?

This also should be the norm. It doesn’t even reduce your drunkness, just makes it more enjoyable and less unconfortable

If I recall, Kurzon was pressured into leaving the station because she had too many ties to Jadzia’s friends and even her husband.

Considering how much money a salary is, it’s easy to see how 30/40€ of license (or whatever that is) is a negiglible sum to save on potentially enormous legal troubles.

Also, depending how big the company is, automatic installation and deployment systems might be in place, and changing that also has a cost.

That’s exactly how it feels: a more modern and more powerful notepad++, with lots of syntax support and easier to add new languages (even better than code in my opinion). Code seems to try and be an ide for everything, but if I’m doing a complex project, I’ll be getting a specific ide, for everything else a good text editor and a Makefil is all I need

Microsoft website does this (especially their useless answer), I guess it’s malice

I think they are dependant, but they don’t want to be brought down to mud. That’s why they try everything to not actively participating in the conflict, limiting to let russian troops pass trought but bot sending belarusian troops. If they attacked, the people would burn Lukaschenko alive

That’s weird, I don’t have it

aoe2 works fine under wine, but the definitive edition does not. In my opinion proton pretty much almost works better for games than simple wine

Fallout 3, but especially New Vegas have great stories and hundreds of hours of gameplay, and work fenomenally on proton (I mean, they are equally buggy as in other versions). Fallout 4 is good as well, but I have never tested it on linux

Unfortunately last time I checked, aoe2:de does not run on Proton (but aoe2:hd does), maybe things changed

That is the reason why identification documents are needed. How can they hire people without knowing who they are?

If you use a strong password and 2fa, there’s no way to prevent login attempts, and a strong enough authentication will make random login attempts just a nuicance. You can set up a recovery address (that must be equally safe). If you are using an online password manager, check there was no known leak

Open source software in general is getting incredibly complex. While big companies mopolized the software industry at the end of the century, now the most widely used technologies are completely open source (kvm, linux, docker, apache, ssh, c++, rust), which means that everyone has access to it and can use it for personal or light commercial use without too much cost and hassle. Sure, companies still monopolize, but only because they offer hardware and services at a big scale, if you want to have an indipendent space on the internet, this would be the perfect time

(Assuming you are using your smartphone) check your battery saving options. Sometimea battery saving for the entire phone or for the clock app can make it less “respondent” to times

That’s right. They are not glorified as being enlightened or particularly great at things in general. Those figures are idolized because of the power they managed to obtain and their skill in military tactis and strategy.

Apparrently the kursk region has been heavily fortified since the very beginning of the war. So either are not as effective in building defense, or they sent all the defending troopa to be massacred where ukraine was attacking before (russian controlled territories)
