Except this is a top customer with tens of thousands of VM's, walking away.

Paid support is a requirement for business. Tryinto avoid that is Penny-wise, pound-foolish.

When shit goes tits-up, you really need the support resources right now.

Win-win in my book.

IIRC, it uses NetBEUI/NetBIOS, can't realistically block it. (You could, but it's not easy, and there's little value in doing so).

But it's not been included in windows since about Vista. But it still works. Just gotta get a version from Win2k.

Edit: I was thinking of Windows Chat.

Edit2: Net Send was replaced by MSG

OK, right.

But tickets are optional, it isn't like food.

Everyone must buy food, one doesn't need to go to a concert.

So by going to the concert, they're saying these prices are fine.

These things aren't a requirement, they're optional. People don't need to go to a concert.

So by paying these exorbitant prices, they're sending the message the prices are fine.

I haven't gone to a concert in decades, for just this reason. Sorry, I'm not rewarding them.

I'd say it's a failure of the people to listen or pay attention.

They say this every flight, sometimes mid-flight when they know they're approaching turbulence.

Wow.

That's crazy, since every flight I've ever taken (many, I flew for work for a decade), they state this.

They sometimes even re-state it during the flight.

Will they actually collect this fine? (Serious question, not sure if companies are able finagle their way out with protracted legal cases).

If kit, that's at least a start on fines, but I'd bet even that much is trivial when their profits are many times that, they're probably owned by one of the 10 conglomerates that seem to own all food manufacturing, and they likely also use such dines as a wedge to build factories elsewhere.

Not sure what the answer is, but these massive conglomerates need to be broken up, somehow. Maybe individual countries start dis-allowing local manufacturing being owned by external orgs?

Imagine using a custom, bloated mess that most vendors out on devices, with garbage that runs in the background that can't be disabled or removed without breaking something.

Pixel is hard to beat. You can get a 5 for about $170. Run Lineage, DivestOS, or Graphene.
