As I said before, in the old days, if you were changing IP addresses, depending on the provider provisioning/tracking code, there could be a 5-15 minutes window were the DB of the ISP pointed to one customer, and the actual IP address was already being used by another customer. Who knows if it still happens.
I worked for an ISP, and can tell you that depending on the provisioning code and how they track IP addresses there can be a small windows when you change IP addresses, where the IP is till registered to you, but already owned by another customer.
Back in the day, ISPes did not care because the different that it made in bandwidth usage could be attributed to background noise, however in this cases it makes a world lot of a difference.
This only reenforces the ruling that the link between an IP address and a customer is something that can be disputed.
If people did not care about football, soap operas and reality shows they would remember there are two political parties in scene. One pushes for Linux, and the other is on Microsofts pocket.
Guess which one is in power now.
How about greylisting numbers? For instance, your relatives or friends will know they will have to make 3 separate calls in less than 10 minutes for the number to ring.
They are not deceiving anyone....It is just MS being MS.
Government bitch, turning Unix more unstable, creating problems of compatibilities where there is none, binaries or interfaces that never mesh well with the native OS.
It is neither in their best interest it works as well as Windows, nor has not ever been their policy supporting continuity of business.
Those who drink the kool aid may think otherwise...
VAT is not that high, it is around 20%-25% depending on the country, not 40%-60%, and besides that you have conveniently ignored my comment about the Surface being the same price.
Apple nowadays does not care about the products that attracted many of us to the Apple world, which was reliable computing in an innovative and competitive platform. And forgets technical guys also attract many people, has many come to us asking advice.
I estimate I might have caused directly over the years for Apple to sell around 100 devices, and maybe half of that indirectly. But I digress.
The iPhone is getting a joke, the only argument to buy it nowadays is that is gets so far less malware than Android. The Macbooks pro are outdated, the touch bar is stupid as it gets, or rather cutting one row of keys, and having only USB-C a fransktein.
To add insult to injury, in Europe and in my country, you end up paying around 300-400 dollars more for an iPhone, and 600 hundred more for a Macbook than the equivalent models in the US. So it makes much more sense to buy a surface, and hack it to run Linux. Do not tell me it is the taxes, because MS manages to have the same price of surface here than it has in USA.
When the definition of IT people is any curious guy that can open a computer and change a graphics card, or install an AV software, or click a mouse, it is pretty natural there are many "IT people" that is not employed.
It is pretty much the same saying many people in the restaurant business is not employed, and put in the same bag clerks, "cleaning technicians" and chefs.

Collection is one thing, racketeering and extortion is something completely different.

Or it was even other customer. The DHCP IP address might have shifted before the provisioning code in the ISP tied it to another customer.
As far as I know it was the Greens that pushed the Linux agenda, and SPD was pushing the Windows agenda.

Will always be marked as disputed then

Have you seen anytime "Right of admission reserved" in any brick and mortar private clubs or restaurants?
Beware of presents from Greeks.
Inside stock manipulation?

...or this seems a shitty commercial advertising move? "we care"...bah
Avoid system, and bring out a notebook base on FreeBSD.
Do not hire Tim Cook, not cut a row of keys, and create a TouchBar.

Yeah, bring a cow dung seller, or a tailor to do IT job....idiot.

Tim Cook, is that you?
Amen. Is what I call the reverse Midas touch. Everything Microsoft touches turns into a turd.
| By installing Linux instead Should be a no-brainer, but people are stupid.
Apparently they are very profitable to Apple too.
it should be pretty obvious but many people are just .... brainwashed.
