Microsoft also proposed to buy the complainants behind another antitrust complaint on OneDrive bundling, led by Nextcloud.

Let's file more of those complaints!


Can we get one for Teams?

HTTP was not designed to resist a nuclear attack.

So easy to make some content disseapear.


Old stuff, bike renting companies were proposing that in Brussels years ago, before doing that will their own employees. I guess the scheme has been abused.


TOR critics like Len Sassaman said the same years ago, with traffic analysis it is possible to detect where the source is coming from.

Timing attacks are a well-known weakness. There's a lot of research into timing attacks and proposed countermeasures.

Also, it's just Tor – not 'TOR'.

>Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized.

The Irish patent box was at 0% tax till 2015.


Biden pushed other countries to adopt a minimum corporate tax of 15%, but those taxi breaks on patent royalties might be another loophole. Anyone to clarify the link between the 2?


I remember that Ireland had a 0% tax on patent royalties till 2015, and till 2020 for companies that used the scheme before.


Ikea does the same with everything they sell in their stores, the stores have to licence design rights from the Netherlands, where royalties are only taxed a few percent. All the stores imposable amount are reduced to zero.


Belgium has also only 3.75% tax rate on patent royalties:

In Luxembourg, it's higher at 5%.

I remember Netherlands had 0% at some point, but they might have changed it.

In any case, multinational corporations pay peanuts in taxes using that scheme.


"If the OS is immutable, where do you store personal data"

In a mounted folder.

"how do you perform updates?"

You use another image.


I was interested in a little more detail. Is the home directory on another USB, or maybe a laptop's built-in SSD? To add new software, is he creating a new custom image every time? Is this practical as a daily driver?


And thus a new mind was awoken.


This is patronizing. Especially since the response was tautological. You should not assume that I know nothing.
