Contrary to my previous article, just wanted to post one to highlight one area where continuing to use Microsoft and Windows for now makes much more sense, Enterprises.

By day, I actually work for an organization with an enterprise-like environment in place, using mostly Windows endpoints and some Windows servers running on a cluster of hypervisors. And in that context Microsoft and Windows is easier and makes a lot of sense.

After I noticed some more changes to Microsoft’s Windows lately I decided to give Linux another go. Currently on Debian for my laptop, though that may change in the future, and I selected EndeavorOS on my desktop due to my graphics card being too new for Debian.

So far, so good. For the first part I will highlight what has gotten me to the point of trying Linux again after a year and a half of going back to Windows.

In the world of identity politics and constant tragedy, often times policy changes get overlooked by the people. I think currently one of those things is forced arbitration.

Lately I have noticed that a lot of the services I have used required me to accept new terms and conditions. Over half of them introduced new “arbitration” clauses into the terms. In short, what it means is that they can no longer be sued for making a bad or even downright dangerous product or service.

In a strange turn of events, Tennessee becomes the first US state to protect musicians and songwriters against AI. Which a red state protecting its citizens against overreaches of private innovation was aout of the cards, at least according to Democrats.

This is a response to the news article on apnews.com.

From what I’m seeing in the news, it looks like potential TikTok bans will play a role in the election.

Article on NPR

From the last time I looked at it, it seemed as though most Democrat politicians were against banning TikTok. And now that whole paradigm has spun on its head. So what has happened?

Personally I think there’s some information being withheld from the general public. I’ll break down topic by topic what I think is really going on.

Today marks three and a half weeks with my 2024 Forester Wilderness. Man, time does fly when one is busy. And so far I like it. Of course I did like my 2020 Forester Sport.

Even though I try not to be a fanboy of any particular brand, it’s hard for me personally to find things to dislike about Foresters.

Over the course of my ownership of it so far, my Framework 13 has become quite the conversation piece. Either someone will notice that the brand emblem isn’t familiar with them or they will ask me what kind of laptop it is and I’ll watch them grow more and more confused as I say “Framework” over and over again.
