💯 don’t call it age verification - that’s just what the unmasked scooby-doo villain is still hiding behind.

What could go wrong?

The empty efforts to appease the board that come a large costs need to show some ROI though, it can only be smoke and mirrors for so long. The big dumb ones I’m talking about are the ones who buy huge packages and just give out licenses like candy to 10k+ people without any tech background who have been doing the same thing for 20 years without any direction on how to utilize them are the ones I’m talking about. Early adopter tech first companies can’t foot all that bill.

Is there an episode that covers this or just a casual mention?

Edit: found it, Starfleet Academy comic

Good fucking luck. There is a realization washing over these folks that they’ll never make their investment back and they’re tightening the screws. The reason it spread like wildfire is that you can do so much for “so little $”. Like any good drug dealer they’re hoping we’re so hooked that they can do whatever with the prices now - and oh boy are they in for a surprise. The Cloud playbook is not going to work here, the cost of replacing this shit is too cheap and not at all vendor locked. The average big dumb company with the deepest pockets is hardly in the experimentation phase still.

At this point how does anyone trust anyone with their data?

This is just fucking insane. Absolutely bonkers.

I wish he would just rewind 10 years a be some comedian hosting other comedians and psychonauts with funny conversations when it was understood it was all just nonsense.

Maybe they’re counting on multiple buyers?

Edit: I guess more likely they’d just toss access to the buyer for the data, get paid, and bounce…

Now define those in detail so there’s no ambiguity about what qualifies for each of those categories

GH “fixed it” and it 404s now too ¯\(ツ)/¯

lolwut?

Flash a distro onto a usb and boot from that to test drive it and ensure your hardware is compatible - zero risk.

Until we meet again!

The comment you’re replying to is still valid. Will it limit your options of what you can attend? For sure.

I promise whatever your current PC is can run Linux just fine. Pull the trigger. Install Linux on a USB, boot your current hardware to the thumb drive to take it for a spin, when you can see it works fine, flash the main drive with Linux and don’t look back.

Are you 6?

Only the worst drivers never miss the turn.
