Never had an issue, but I also haven't used the encoder. As for emulation I only used bluestacks and some windows VMs and I think a glide to opengl wrapper once. No issues there...

Wouldn't that include the aforementioned documentaries?

A microkernel teaching OS by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

In 2017 the world (including Tanenbaum) found out that the Intel Management Engine uses Minix internally. Intel just kind of did that silently. So Minix is still around.

Battlefield 1942 theme song

Isn't that more like:

Dudun-dun-dundundun
Dudun-dun-dundundun
Dudun-dun-dundundun
Dudun-dun-dundundun
ad infinitum

GOG if I can, because DRM freeness has to be rewarded as much as possible

nix-darwin is kind of nice too, but only really for CLI tools. You can let nix-darwin manage your homebrew for GUI stuff, if you want.

I'd still take linux if I could though. macOS is just work mandated.

Mine sure doesn't. I send it to sleep (since you can't send it directly to hibernate like a normal OS), and the next day the battery is empty and it won't start. This happens about once a month, and I haven't found the common variable yet.

Makes sense that he has to believe this, otherwise he'd be hellbound in his own view

It’s easy to create artificial maintenance costs there as needed.

That reminds me of the bricked polish trains, not only did they create artificial maintenance cost, they also tried to ensure that only they (and not their competitors) would be able to do that maintenance (unflipping the kill-switch)

Some software uses license servers where each client is supposed to request a seat temporarily. If more people use it at once than seats were licenses they detect that with phone home features. We had that with Matlab I believe, if you tried using it in the most popular time you might not be able to.
