Can they find out?

No, not really. The Metadata doesn't have a "pirated" flag and something like the product key doesn't get saved. Microsoft themselves probably know due to their telemetry but even they can't be bothered about it. I would bet that even you send a pirated document to the Microsoft CEO, they wouldn't notice or even care enough to look for it.

But as always there is the important rule of "don't fuck with work stuff, ever".

It's already questionable why she is editing company documents on here private PC without either a dedicated and remotely managed work particition + VPN or an O365 online work account. These documents fall under far stricter data safety regulations and the way it is right now, she is personally liable for any data leaks.

I've learned to dodge and outrun chargers with a few rocks, but there is no outrunning a rocket barrage from half a map away.

Even then the snippets you can find in the replies are more usefull than most forums ever were.

I hate the fact that you get tax writeoffs because you deny anyone the ability to view any media.

Since its essentially the taxpayers paying for a failed product, they should also be allowed to access it.

Die Konstellation, bei der 45min Bahnfahrt zu 2 Stunden Autofahrt werden, würde mich dann doch interessieren. Vor allem weil Parkplatzsuche ja nochmal obendrauf kommt.

Windows asks you a few times to update now or later, gives you a timer of three hours and offers you to open the closed documents again without having to use autosave.

I don't like the forced updates either, but if you lose anything to them it can be classified as "on purpose ".

That wouldn't hold up in court, not even in the fucked up pro corp system the US has.

Besides, they don't need to take any photos, they already know pretty much all your habits and interests without taking a major risk.

In the case of CSAM they really have to care, if they want to or not. Otherwise the instance gets shut down pretty fast and the police will have a not so nice chat with the admin.

If you are comfortable editing the registry then you can get the old context menu back without the extra clicks. Searching online for the right key was pretty easy.

Emulators are legal

In general yes, but Yuzu itself probably never was legal in the first place.

At least in the EU and US there are anti-circumvention laws that make circumventing anti-piracy/copy-protection measures illegal in itself even if its done on games you own. Since Yuzu used the prod.keys to decrypt the games, it most likely already broke these laws.

Yuzu decrypts the games with your prod.keys which already means circumventing anti piracy measures. Pretty much all countries that care about piracy (EU and US) have anti-circumvention laws that make this action illegal, even if its for your own use of your own games. No matter how stupid it may sound, there is no possible way to ever use Yuzu in a legal way in most of the first world.

Ich versteh die Streiks ja, aber die nicht anzukündigen ist eigentlich nur ein "fuck you" an alle ÖPNV Nutzer. Die Bahn verliert dadurch nicht wirklich mehr Geld und der ganze Hass wird sich eher gegen die Mitarbeiter richten als gegen die Chefs. Gleichzeitig werden ein Haufen Leute zu spät/gar nicht auf die Arbeit kommen oder im Nirgendwo festsitzen ohne sich um eine Alternative kümmern zu können.

By using these keys to decrypt the games they are circumventing anti-piracy measures which is already illegal in a lot of countries. Even if no actual piracy was involved, what they are doing with the prod.keys almost guarantees them a loss in court in all of the EU and North America.

In a dorm its legal but may be against your contract.

At school/work you probably aren't officially allowed to charge your devices, so it's theft.

Even if you are allowed to charge your phone at work, they technically may have to meter it and tax it as additional benefits depending on your country.

That's the exact opposite of what I've read in most linux threads on here. Most people seem to complain about teams not working at all under Linux.

Screen sharing works in what? 99% of cases?

It works 95% of the time but it often takes 10+ seconds until everyone can see the screen.

I get your point, but teams is such a broken mess that I think the question is legitimate. Half the time it doesn't even register my microphone even if Windows doesn't have a problem with it.

Why don't they sue PC manufacturers for producing the hardware that led to the emulator?

This one is perfectly analogous to the Nintendo tomfoolery, though.

Not really. PCs aren't purpose build to run emulators, these emulators just happen to also work on them.

Emulators on the other hand are purpose build to circumvent anti piracy measures (which is illegal even for your own use), even if piracy may not be their primary intention.

Thats probably 1500$ in apple parts. These parts most likely already include R&D costs as well as the additional increase for their brand.

We aren't facing a binary outcome. Our actions now, even small ones, have tangible effects on the outcomes we face in a highly non-linear way.

That would be the case if a global change for a better world would have started already and its just a question of how long it takes, but that simply isn't what's happening right now.

Even the most impactfull laws made are only at the level of feel good politic like the plastic straw ban was. The only thing the EU seems fixed on are EVs which honestly aren't much of an improvement. And any government that tries to implement good policies looses tons of support cause people can't deal with any loss in quality of life.

At the moment the only outcome we are facing is the worst possible one and no amount of personal change has any impact whatsoever.

We are long past the point where any self imposed limitations of the average person can change anything for the better, the world is burning and 90% of the population is still in denial or doesn't care. The only way anything major can change is if the lawmakers get their shit together, but chances for this are close to nill as long as we allow them to get bankrolled by corps.

Sure I could spend my last few good years eating nothing but gras while gluing myself onto the road in protest just to delay the inevitable by 5 nanoseconds, but I honestly don't care anymore. This world doesn't want to save itself and that includes everyone from boomers to zoomers.
