Who makes software like this?
Who buys software like this?
Do these companies make any money?
>>60070412
old people was over this shit like 15+ years ago. I can tell you since I was "upselling" this bullshit along their prebuilt desktops or shit consumer laptops.
Selling Norton for almost 100 bucks on top of the price of the computer wasn't hard.
Regarding your other question, I guess they made money in short-term but we all know what happened to Norton and any other shit company that was selling "protection" software in the early 2000, they are no more or they are reduced to almost nothing.
>>60070412
why is software still advertised as a box? no software these days actually comes in a fucking box.
>>60073797
same reason why the save icon is what it is still.

he has his business still. idk what it was, but he had clients and seemed to be supporting himself before tek syndicate
>>60068015
You could argue that but I moreso meant that he could be doing what he's passionate about directly instead of being a content creator on youtube

What would Microsoft have to do to cause a mass exodus of users from Windows to Mac/Linux/BSD?
Beyond telemetry, beyond forced updates, beyond "something happened". What is the one thing they could change or do to Windows for Enterprise, consumers, even Servers to jump ship?
Literally nothing.
Microsoft could literally lock out developers and force you to pay $99 annually for signed developer keys and people would still use windows because it has all the games and all the professional software like photoshop and solidworks.

You can only post ITT if you are one of the elite Sandy Bridge master race.
You CANNOT post ITT if you fell for the memes and remorsefully """upgraded""" your Sandy to any of the subsequent housefires.

Built my first PC ever. Managed to get an i7 7700K for $250.

Maybe. Mine is offline from day 1 so no problem here. Only plug in to laptop to recharge battery or upload new batch of books from bibliotik.
I use Pocketbook.
Gets the job done. You upload documents via USB, no online shop or anything.
Kobo Aura One if you don't care about price.
