Windows has always* done this and so do many others. I very much doubt that the EU would fine Microsoft for it. Since when was extended support against EU regulation?
*I'm unsure if they have allowed regular consumers to buy extended support before, since consumers mostly don't give a shit about updates. This is at least the first time you could get extended support through any other means than paying for it.
Does grayjay rehost content from YouTube or are they using the YouTube backend for streaming video?
I would be quite annoyed if anyone used my website as a host for content that's being consumed on another website.
A few years ago (and to a lesser degree nowadays) you occasionally came across images which wouldn't work if you "hotlinked" to them on another website. Images aren't a huge deal anymore but video absolutely is.
That's true but I wouldn't really classify this as evil.
Serving videos isn't easy or cheap. It's hard and expensive.
I obviously use an adblocker everywhere and so should you.
But saying that Google or anyone else is doing anything wrong by blocking adblockers is ridiculous. When they finally succeed, I will just accept that I finally lost after many many years. My usage of YouTube will likely go down substantially as well.
Crying about it after you have used their service for free for YEARS, really makes no sense.
Sure, they want you to use Azure AD (now called Entra ID) or maybe Entra Domain services.
But they are absolutely not stopping anyone from hosting their own AD like normal. There even came a few nice improvements to AD in Windows server 2025 so it's actively being developed. Server 2025 is being supported until 2034. So AD will be supported until AT LEAST 2034 but very very likely much longer.
Nowadays it's very common to have a hybrid setup with AD and Entra ID where users and devices sync to Entra ID from AD.
Many features are available in AD and/or Entra ID (or any of the other related cloud services like Intune). For example: you can choose if you want your bitlocker keys backed up to Entra or AD.
AD will likely stay relevant for many decades to come. Especially for larger companies with special requirements.
Yeah, absolutely. Companies like Sony, Microsoft and especially Apple would rather pay huge monthly fines than opening up their platforms.

For example companies like redhat do the same thing for end of life software: https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-eus
I'm not familiar with Suse but it looks like they pretty much do the same thing: https://www.suse.com/products/long-term-service-pack-support/.
Ubuntu too: https://ubuntu.com/security/esm
Of course IBM: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-security-extended-support

And no ads I presume.
Understandable that they would block it.

Should probably mark this as NSFW considering that he very possibly could have died.
To be fair ChatGPT didn't exist 12 years ago.
I mean is anything iOS really open source?
Just curious, what management software are you gonna use?
P.S good luck configuring Linux if you can't even manage bitlocker.
I haven't received a single source.
Okay, can you provide a source for both claims?
Nah, there are absolutely some people that are worse than others.
All racists are obviously horrible but this is on a whole other level.
Which western media?
You know...
Has anyone claimed that the protests were entirely peaceful? Of course some turn violent when you roll in with your army and riot police gun blazing.
And thanks for confirming that it wasn't a tank.
There really are no excuses for the killing of dozens if not hundreds of civilians and protestors.
And the protests were entirely peaceful to begin with but of course China couldn't let that continue.
The censorship of the event also speaks a great deal about who's fault it is.
Who could've guessed that people turn violent when you start shooting them 😱
I don't have a president.
Yes, of course you people like it but the rest of us for sure aren't switching to worse instances.
Ultra racists like these are frightening.
