Now that lots of services require you to have a phone/use a phone number to login changing numbers could potentially mean losing access to services/accounts you use. (I also hate this)
You guys are reading from my comment some sort of aggressive anti-pill stance that isn't there. I'm just predicting something that will happen, because predicting the future and seeing if reality later plays out that way is fun.
Yes! While Horizon Alpine isn't ready for Windows yet, ShareX support is built in. Simply sign up, visit Settings, and download the configuration files under General > App Configuration. There are configurations for both files and links/pastes uploads.
I don't see the problem here. They're adding value to their OS this way, value that will result in greater profits and therefore shareholder value. My MS stock is doing great thanks to moves like this!
If you don't like it, you don't have to use MS products.
Why do you doubt that? Even Microsoft, with all their money and NIH syndrome, are unlikely to invent a brand new application protocol just to serve ads.
> If you can accurately strobe it with a laser, why not use the same targeting system to shoot it down?
There will always be a chance that the targeting system misses so strobbing a laser (or bidirectional jamming) will minimize the risk of damaging the surrounding area (people, animals, etc.) vs shooting it down with bullets/nets.
Also a laser that emits enough light to blind a sensor may not be classified as a munition, whereas something that emits projectiles is almost always classified as a munition.
