When mobsters visit a local business they also collect payment for protection.

The best practice is to buy a separate PC for each system and while you are at it, try buying a new house to perfectly isolate both systems /s
I use the Flip-flop of Destruction!
When you consider how many students were shoot with 3d printed guns... Oh wait, those were all manufactured by a proper business, carry on then, we don't want to interrupt big businesses.
Restrict access to vinyl tape!
I am old, I have used windows for around 20 years. I am also a geek. I tried Mac OS a long time ago - not geeky enough and the hardware was too expensive for me back then.
Tried Linux several times. It was fun, but I had too many issues, up until now.
In my opinion if you plot user friendliness over time for Linux and windows, the Linux is going up on the friendliness axis, slowly but steadily. Windows on the other hand... Goes somewhere. Every good idea MS devs have is countered by 3 terrible (for users) from the marketing department.
I want to be the owner of my own PC. I want to control everything, windows was good enough a few years ago, but it is not anymore, the cloud integration plus AI bulshit, plus bloatware.
No, thanks.
They know. They just don't care. North Korea might be a poor shithole but Kim is an Emperor for life, and can do whatever he wants. I would guess that's what Donny aims for.
Kojima's ancestors in this part of the world?!?
Back, in good ol' days (5 years ago, or so), if you were a software developer you could ask any question on Stackoverflow, by any, I mean any question worthy of time of other users. If your question was considered too easy you would meet multiple beginner unfriendly answers. The portal is probably dead right now, I didn't bother checking. It was killed by the AI since it will answer any of your simple questions and praise it instead of telling you that you should read the manual. AI is often wrong, but it helps a lot with the issues that most Linux geeks would consider unworthy of their time.

"Defence only" gives an attacking side 100% initiative and control over what's going on. They can focus on one place, attack when you are the weakest, take control of that one place (city, village or even a building) and even if it costs them a lot, you have no way to punish it. They can take their time to recover and wait and attack again whenever they want.
