USA really is a hellscape. The more I learn about the world, the happier I am, I'm not born there but in Europe.

Incredible service to humanity.

And where I work it's all Thinkpads or Dells :)
Office 365 suite + Windows 11 + Defender EDR/S1/Crowdstrike + Intune or other MDM/RMM like Ninja/PDQ is an excellent stack for productivity, management, and security.
For Mac you need the hardware first, then a google workspace or 365 license, then jamf to manage the fleet + S1/Crowdstrike.
But yes for Desktop use it really shines. PC Gaming too is in a better place than ever. Like 500k is on Steam playing BG3 right now.
Yes, it is never as good as native, but it's not that bad if done properly.
Citrix/RDP farm should NEVER be used for cost savings. It is for data control. But bean counters think it saves costs... and user experience suffer.
>Now my laptop is acting really slow even though no process is hogging CPU or ram
Have you rebooted?
Is it thermal throttling?
Now... I would just like to see the full https url on searches.
I already love the look, Brave summarizer AI and general results!
It is the only good Chromium based browser. It is also open source unlike Vivaldi and Opera/Edge etc.
All the crypto shit can be turned off, annoying yes, but perfectly doable in the standard options menu.
Yes there is Firefox
But Brave still faster + own search engine
Can also do DNS adblock! :)
What are your issues? I have a T490 that is a few years old and its great for my use. But I keep it docked in to a monitor and external mouse and keyboard 90% of the time.
Yes very secure.
>Try telling that norwegian poker player who is unable to wire legal poker earnings from a tournament abroad to his bank home.
Probably blocked due to terror laws. If you can't Western Union money, there is a REALLY good reason.
Wait until you hear about how we are a cashless society and our bank app for money transfer. That you need mobile ID and bank account to use :) Max tracking. But its very handy.
>Or to any of the people who made money on crypto who they want to use as security for an appartment loan.
Good, I hate crypto shit and I want it to go away. It is all a scam. Get a real job and invest in a real bank. Crypto is all tax fraud scam shit.
>Or to someone trying to wire gains from legal online casinos abroad.
Good, I hate gambling and online casinos. If you have to gamble, do it in my country so the taxes benefit.
>Or to someone trying to access a web site that the norwegian authorities do not like who are DNS blocked (yes, easy to circumvent for tech people).
Yes THIS I agree with. I think ISP DNS blocks piratebay etc here now. Or some ISPs do. It's shit, but I already use a 3rd party DNS provider on my PC and phones.
Your point btw? I am running the Snowflake when my browser is open.
Or Google Workspace for that matter.
Aren't they just writing notes and ordering meds?
Why is it this mess that is Epic and Oracle Cerner?
*Sure being in the downvotes
What you say differs between IT environments and clients. We usually just deploy EDR/MDR like S1 or Defender (Defender that comes with Windows) and deploy settings, so you cannot have a crazy long uptime and force Windows updates, yes you need those.
According to some standard body like NIST, you are now supposed to have a longer password or passphrase that never expires.
I'm lucky to be born in Scandinavia, so there is really 0 internet censor, for now.
How awful. Do they play games, do work and watch TV on their phone?
Now, Teams would have handled this better.
One team = make a team = make channels in the team
They have extensions for other browsers too: https://snowflake.torproject.org/
