    Microsoft Updated its terms of service

    What version of Win10 is that? I still get "Sign in without a Microsoft account" (as detailed here: https://4sysops.com/archives/install-windows-10-with-a-local-account/ ) when installing Pro or Enterprise. I have not touched a MS "home" product in years.

    warm deal?? Samsung NU8000

    I have the 75" version of this TV and while it is a decent TV, I wish I had shelled out for the Q series.. The gamma gradient from the backlight is very uneven, only really noticeable on an all white screen (like snow) but it annoys me.

    Amazon Raises Minimum Wage to $15 for All US Employees

    European Parliament Passes Controversial Copyright Bill

    Well EU, it was nice to know you on the Internet, enjoy your intranet going forward. Time to start blocking access from EU IPs again for yet another reason. (or just call every website a Wiki I guess)

    The end of Tintri?

    ~1200 total customers in 10 years.. Not worth taking on the $100,000,000 in debt. Maybe someone will snap up something after bankruptcy, but no one wants the liability. Would you pay ~$85,000 for each existing customer you have to support that won't be paying that much for support contracts...

    NEWB to RAID setup little help please

    I would recommend leaving it in it's external enclosure and scheduling a backup job to periodically (at your comfort level) backup the data to the drive.

    China Stealing US Tech

    So while this may seem unrelated, it actually helps explains this to an extent: Confucianism essentially teaches that it is morally wrong to individually profit off an idea, thus their gleeful IP theft. Their world view tells them they are doing the good, morally correct thing in doing what...
