  • Wouldn’t those businesses that own their offices still prefer to sell or rent a property if the business will run without it? Artificially filling a property with employees to “make use of” the property rather than get money out of it is a good way to be left holding the bag when other companies ditch their properties to save money and crash the market anyway. To your point, the property is still the same asset whether employees are in it or not; it costs money. I guess I’m not really buying the notion that businesses are banding together to lose money for the greater good of the business real estate market. The same companies that won’t even invest in obvious long-term profitability plans? Really?




  • I’m not a programmer or cheater or anything, but I think the answer is yes and no. Yes it could technically be done and even work as intended as long as the device is locked down to prevent the user from replacing the shipped kernel (which would be a bad thing for users). However, savvy people could (in theory) make custom kernels that lie to the kernel module, causing the module to report there is no cheating when there is. It’s my understanding that it’s close to the current situation with Windows and virtual machines and anticheat: you can cheat by running your game in a VM and then have that virtual hardware extract secret information or flip bits in the right spots. Most competitive games will refuse to run in a VM for this reason.







  • Exactly! EndeavourOS, my first Arch distro. It’s nice and easy to use, although Arch package updates are very different from say Debian. They don’t differentiate between security fixes and typo fixes so you’re either updating all the time like me or updating less frequently and being vulnerable. And then there’s also the issue of rarely broken bleeding edge packages; I had to pin a bunch to prevent upgrading from KDE 5 to 6 for a while.
