  • The city council was overwhelmingly in favor at the time, as was the administration. There were also only positive independent studies until the very end, when a negative one came from a company that cooperates with Microsoft. That was the point at which the city council and administration were suddenly against Limux and made themselves dependent on MS again. There were also negotiations at the time regarding a Microsoft headquarters, which was subsequently built.


  • Well, on a national level when I think of Germany… Limux was very successful and not unpopular with users in the authorities. It wasn’t problematic either, but failed because Munich’s mayor is an MS fanboy and MS helped with lobbying. If you look today, Schleswig Holstein, for example, uses a lot of open source and other federal states are slowly following suit. Lobbying is causing extreme problems.

    So the main problem is lobbying and corrupt politicans

    Of course, the industry will not be a pioneer. They use the most favorable offer for them and as long as there are no serious reasons, they will not switch unnecessarily. After all, they want to make a profit. So the countries have to be pioneers. This is where the problems mentioned above come in.





  • Now I have skipped through the video. Nice on eBay next to auction already times a fixed amount to choose from, that should already make skeptical. Then also color deviations from the prototypes shown. But above all, only pictures of the visuals. No device switched on and no display of hardware information. We live in a time where all hardware is also counterfeited and, in addition to the bad counterfeits, good quality counterfeits also appear and even manufacturers demand to recognize the counterfeits.

    So something as extremely simple as a case is really no problem at all, even if it is of the same quality.

    So as long as no information is provided by the seller to verify it, I wouldn’t give a damn.














  • People mock and make jokes. Of course HP is known for being shit. But don’t people consider that valve also has third part guidelines that directly prevent such shenanigans. After all, valve wants to push Linux and use steam deck + third partie handhelds with certified hardware to ensure that games with anti-cheat at kernel level etc. work without any problems and that publishers can expect a trustworthy system. So that publishers can no longer get away with the bullshit excuse or have one less. I hate HP but all new competitors other than MS are welcome.

    Fortunately, people don’t have to buy it, but it would still have a positive effect just because it would be on the market.
