NEVER use biometric unlock! You can legally be compelled to provide biometric unlock, you cannot be legally compelled to give PIN/passwords.

Jokes on them! My company made everyone remote during COVID. It worked so well that they sold the corporate office buildings. We are all remote permanently! As long as I work my scheduled hours, they don't care where in the world I am.

I am forced to use Windows on my work computer, but that is ONLY used for official work related functions. My personal PCs (I have several) all run various flavors of Linux. Monday through Friday I am reminded why I don't have Windows on my personal machines.

Because the US government hasn't done enough to discourage Canadian tourism?

Yep. Sold my stocks that had anything to do with A.I. When the crash comes, many people will be completely wiped out.

Meta doesn't want to complete with the NSO Group in stealing user's information.

Yes, the list is a long one.

I would think it would be hard to vote for someone who is putting troops in the streets of their own cities. Not to mention the thuggery of ICE. EDIT: I forgot to mention threatening other countries with take overs.

Microsoft will continue to eliminate workarounds. Copilot needs your data for training purposes. Snapshot, Onedrive, mandatory accounts, are all ways of forcing users to give up their data.

I have two Windows programs that I use regularly. I run Windows 10 inside Gnome Boxes within Linux Mint. The Windows VM has no internet access. I have successfully moved the Windows VM (not really hard) to a second computer. I see no reason to ever play Microsoft's game again. Setting up Windows 10 or Windows IoT LTSC within Gnome Boxes is dead easy.
