Maybe not, but surely the clouds’ infrastructure, the webservers, and the mobile phones matter to people…

Moreover even if the 10% is inflated, Windows falling to 57 is crazy

You can entirely be for-profit and earn your profit without the reselling of personal data. It was more common before net 2.0, for example Google first served you one or two links of ads based on your search. No saving and forwarding user data, just simply “for X amount, your webpage will be displayed to users searching Y keyword”

Does it have cloud saves ?

no problems with being for-profit, the problem is getting money from selling the private date of those using your product

“Your private data is extremely important to us, as we make money from it”, how the hell do they manage to be this shady x(((

Why would Samsung have my health data ???

Je suis franco-hongrois, j’ai vécu la majeure partie de ma vie en Hongrie, j’ai passé la majeure partie de ma scolarité dans le système français.

Je me reconnais dans la culture, l’histoire, la langue des deux pays, je ne suis pas mi-français mi-hongrois, je suis bien français et hongrois.

Je n’ai pas lu l’article, mais le simple fait de poser la question me semble témoigner d’une grande ignorance.

edit : j’ai parcouru l’article, c’est pire que ce que je pensais… L’auteur soutient que la question n’est pas culturelle, mais légale, devoir se confirmer à deux systèmes judiciaires étant par définition impossible

Que vaudrait alors sa parole de citoyen ? Le service national, l’impôt, le devoir de défense, la loyauté élémentaire due à l’État dont on porte le passeport

C’est une mauvaise approche.

1 : c’est l’état qui a un devoir de défense et de loyauté envers moi, pas le contraire.

2 : Même si je n’avais que la nationalité française, si Marine Le Pen venait à être élue et a déclarer la guerre contre un autre pays, c’est bien en tant que français que je refuserai de faire la guerre pour un gouvernement facho

Years ago I had found a neat Windows software for this. You could just log in with your Amazon credentials and remove the DRMs on the books in your account. They could then be converted into pdfs with an other program.

I was doing this for my wife, and when she needed an other one of her books in pdf format she would ask me to “pirate” it. It pissed me off “it’s yours, it’s not piracy, it’s file conversion !!” How the industry managed to actually get people to accept the stuff they buy isn’t theirs :(

Pretty interesting read, thanks for the share !

How much does the current system cost ?

It’s funny that in Europe, our passports have been biometric for a long time, governments have our fingerprints, but the security at my base doesn’t use it, airport workers and Cabin Crews just have their own security gate

wat

Idk, in Hungary no-one uses a VPN, as neither studios nor institutions really care about piracy there
