<p>How?<p>In the 90's most software was closed source but cracks/trainer were always available.<p>Even for Rayman that had multiple (26?) cd-check during the game.<p>Security is mainly slowing the attacker because there's a maximum amount of stuff a human can do in 24hours. But now if you can simulate thousands of human attacking a system in different ways, it will crack.<p>Just like many stores have lock on their doors and, insurance if someone breaks the lock.<p>I'm guessing data security insurance will become a huge market in the years to come.</p>

<p>Well, they heard that we don't like copilot in notepad so they removed "copilot" from notepad.<p>And right after that they added a brand new feature called tolipoc that will revolutionize the way you analyze your logs or modify your 17 year old cmd file!<p>Want to create a file with the current date and time? No need to google for it, tolipoc will do it for you!</p>

<p>I've wanted to do that with an old laptop and send it to be hosted at a friend's house.<p>The advantage I found with a laptop :<p>1. Only two cables, power and ethernet. Installation and removal is quick.<p>2. Comes bundled with keyboard and screen so no need for monitor<p>3. Usually very low power consumption and low heat.<p>4. Light, it can be stored anywhere.<p>So to answer your question, I'm guessing all of the above?</p>

<p>Only if you're a nation with few resources or in emergency situation.<p>Creativity in the US military as always been associated with a lot of $ for contract with the private sectors.<p>Yes, many countries are now using cheap drones to destroy targets but I'm not sure the US military has the mentality to adapt to this situation because they're not "really" at war.<p>How would highly ranked personnel react to the idea of a 400$ drone, cheaper than an AR15, when they usually discuss budgets about aircraft carriers (or a few 100$million F35) ?<p>I wonder how many potential contractors would add a 0 to the price just to be taken seriously.</p>

<p>As of today, I only use 2 solutions for Windows GUI :<p>- windows forms in .net<p>- flutter<p>All the rest always presents itself with a sheer aura of "It was a great idea but we couldn't finish it".<p>Without ever discussing with anyone from MS about it, I think they stopped improving/working on this because of electron.<p>Any web developer can build a good enough website and a good enough desktop app with electron.</p>

<p>In Québec they solved it by issuing the ticket to the car owner that is considered responsible and it's up to the owner to contest it.<p>Nobody's considered guilty, it's an administrative ticket.<p>No points are removed from the owner's driver licence because they can't prove who was driving but the owner still has to pay the ticket.</p>
