DVDs have been around long enough that they are going out of style.

How many people have been convicted of backing up their dvds?

Dell thinks it’s ok. Ultimately they are the ones who decides what OE-specific software gets pushed via Windows Update.

This article needs an editor. Badly.

Yet here OP is…

“Linux is so easy just install it”

Linux is not easy. macOS is easy. Windows is easy. Linux is a jalopy that you enjoy fixing an occasionally get working.

What device is it? It’s unusual for Ethernet to not work .

All starlink residential service is behind cgnat. They have IPv6 but it’s not well documented.

Cloudfare tunnels with Synology are well documented.

Another option is to use a proxy service like cloudfare. You end up with internet speed when accessing internal resources though, even if your client is internal.

The easy way is to use a calendar client and not try to inject the calendar into your server.

No they aren’t.

You can get your original install media from the OEM.

Including a bunch of drivers and software adds more to an already large installation. I downloaded the latest iso the other day and it was over 6gb in size.

There honestly might be licensing implications that they are avoiding by not including software and drivers, something open source doesn’t need to worry about too much.

The last Linux install I performed had similar issues with the video card driver.

Keep in mind windows users don’t install their os from scratch. The OEM will include those in their deployment.

I’m not surprised that laptop had issues. It’s purpose built and likely has sub 1% usage across the windows install worldwide.

I use tenable but i get it from work for free. You could use Nessus.

I run a weekly vuln scan against my ip ranges. If anything comes up I deal with it.

Advertise/present the services to the internet, or merge the networks or devices together using a service like Tailscale.

Don’t dedicate your nics. Use vlans and trunk ports.

Create a wan vlan. Create a lan vlan.

I wish the mods best of luck with implementing and enforcing this.

AI generally doesn’t need a lot of special handling when it comes to policies. It’s like any other tool, it’s just made it a lot easier for people that don’t know how to code get something made.

If anything, it might be easier for people to tag their level of experience.

How would the proposed rules help? Isnt spam already covered regardless of AI?

Asking people to tag AI, and also have a few different AI tags, and also read more than 3 sentences…mods are going to be busy enforcing the rules.
