Coincidence or not, it must've caused a chilling effect to other whistleblowers.
How the heck did those tools developers figure out how to remove those various ads in windows? Did they do it the hard way, fired up a debugger to reverse engineer how those ads were displayed? That takes some dedication. We in the Linux land have it easy because the source code is available to mess with.
I mean, a huge number of redditors moved here because of reddit enshittification.
Why would they do that when they can use this as yet another push to move people to windows 11.
It would be nice if the prisoners could take class or earn a degree while in prison, at least when they get out they have a new skill or a degree so they have a better chance to get a job to pay off their prison debt.
The books they loaned are loaded with DRM though, which make it unusable after the loan period expires, so it's not like they're handing out unlocked pdf en-masse like z-library. They probably thought this restriction was good enough and publishers have enough goodwill to let it slide during the height of the pandemic.
For comparison, I run a thinkstation p300 with i7-4790 (TDP 84W) 24/7 and the power usage looks like this:
Even when idling this old processor still guzzles 45W. Certainly not as nice as GP's that only use 10W during idle.
Power scaling for these old CPU is not great though. Mine is slightly newer and on idle it still uses 50% of the TDP.
Windows was this close to be Unix. Windows was POSIX.1-compliant, and Windows Service for UNIX was also a thing.
