I get the distinct feeling that the EU will have something to say about a US tech giant baking spyware into web browser that EU citizens use.

I first deployed ESX back in 2003 and from then on I was a huge fan of VMware. So, watching Broadcoms changes unfold is a little sad.

What i really wanted to ask is, for meduim to large enterprises that want on-prem infrastructures what are their options nowadays? I don’t work in this area any more so I’m out of touch.

You could also consider self employment/consultancy.

Would you recommend this if OP is in the UK?

They can’t stop synth meat coming in at the minute, but they can after they decide to Italeave… that doesn’t sound as good as Brexit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened.

“He failed to properly disclose”, that’s one way of saying that he bareface lied.

Its OK though he’s going to pay some of it himself so that the tax payer only has to cough up £8k.

He should be forced to pay it all and sacked.

As far as Microsoft is concerned it looks like I now live in Ireland.

As someone who is sadly no longer part of the EEA, I wonder what would happen if you selected an EEA region during install, removed everything you want gone, then set your region properly?

If privacy and security are your top priorities, which it sounds like they are, and you want a performance similar to OnePlus 8, go with the Google Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS. It’s more aligned with your need for strong app sandboxing and convenient Google services integration, etc.

Have a look at SwissTransfer. Its run by Infomaniak, and supports files up to 50gb. You can password protect transfers and set the maximum amount of times a file can be downloaded.

Alternatively you can go a bit old school and encrypt the files on a pen drive and send by courier. I still do this as I have some family with broadband speeds from 20 years ago.

Coersive Exclusion usually falls under the Equalities Act in the UK and against one of the protected criteria in the act but Nationwide Building Society recently lost a court case against them regarding forced office attendance. I don’t remember the specifics but it may he worth reading up on.

I will add, I’m no legal expert. My advice would be for your friend to speak to Citizens Advice Bureau or a solicitor to see whether they have a case.

This is more along the lines of their implementation of the Citrix Workplace App or Citrix Receiver.

This is Microsoft… What’s the catch?

This article is very specifically talking about coercive exclusion which is illegal in the UK under employment law. Maybe in other countries too.

This is great, but let’s be honest it should be Scotland wide. Where I live this is ridiculously common, they get half the car or more on the pavement, stick on their hazard lights and seem to think that’s OK.

One more thing, the fine isn’t high enough in my opinion. There will still be people that’ll carry on parking like this because they justify it somehow. Looking at you Aberdeen Range Rover mob.

I wonder what Infosys promised or paid the congressman.

This sort of thing needs stopped before it gets out of hand.

I have fond memories of the Internet 20-25 years ago.

How did it turn into this much of a mess? Social Media, SEO, adverts, data mining, profiling, privacy nightmares… what a shit show.

These are definitely an improvement over the current icons but while some of the design rules are evident, i think a bit of refining is in order.

The games and download folders both need a complete redesign as the ignore the design rules that the other folders use, and why are the symbols on each folder white except for the Mac folder?
