Apple has their own implementation of SMB in macOS and it's one of the worst out there. Dropping connections, can't re-establish connections automatically after sleep, and performance issues.

Why they didn't keep Samba (licensing, probably) is beyond me.

> licensing, probably

Correct, Apple has dropped everything that switched to GPLv3 which includes newer versions of bash, samba, etc.

That was SMBv1. Not SMB of today.

Still true for extended attributes, which Finder and Spotlight love to query.

In the US, you have the right to face your accuser. Since that's not possible with a camera, photo-based enforcement becomes a non-moving violation.

You can still point the finger at someone else when you get the ticket in the mail. Or just put a bunch of question marks in reply as it is on the State to prove their case, not for you to snitch on your own bad driving habits.

At least that is how it works in the state I live in.

That's obviously not true. Camera evidence is used as evidence of crimes all the time. Security cameras would be utterly worthless if they couldn't.

Right to face your accuser in that context means that you have the right to cross-examine relevant witnesses about how that camera evidence was collected and applied.

Please read the remainder of the thread. Context matters. Pedantry, not so much.

There were too many people posting their 'innovative' local-only PDF websites so it was restricted to not-new accounts.

I don't see how this is a 'problem', but rather a tunable. And any decent OS has tunables. Would you rather not have this option?

I would rather have some meaningful progress on the Windows scheduler, for example.

It's doubtful that there would be 1000 people dedicated to the scheduler, or that it would produce a better result than the 1 to 4 people that likely work or are tied to owning the scheduler.

That said, what deficiencies do you see in the scheduler with the current build of Windows?

Azure services run on [customized] Hyper-V, thus Windows Server.

Azure networking is Linux.

EDIT: Marvel at the NT4 style Task Manager [0].

Microsoft just upstreamed support for running Linux as the Hyper-V equivalent of Dom0, so no Windows required.

That is still a very long way until Azure Host OS gets replaced.

Guessing some of Azure networking (or storage controllers) might even be BSD based ?

Azure networking is Microsoft's own Linux: Azure Linux [0]. I don't know what they use for storage controllers.

Outside of wartime, yes these are jobs programs. If we stop, we lose the know-how, man-power, and facilities. Starting back up becomes expensive, time consuming, and potentially impossible on the time scales required. That does not bode well for a war you're involved in.
