But I am talking about 6 EUR per YEAR, not per month - that’s what’s written in the original post: EUR per YEAR. I checked, that municipality has about 30000 employees. So 6 EUR per user per YEAR, which is completely unrealistic.

I’m guessing it’s a really small state with not much IT going on.

A small organization will have higher software license prices per user than a large one.

Yes, I am 100% sure: you responded to my comment where I say that 6 EUR/year/user won’t cover even Windows. I wasn’t talking about license capabilities (what’s included and what’s not), purely regarding the cost.

Mate, are you sure you don’t confuse per year and per month numbers? Those 180000 is per YEAR (for 30000 users)

50 cents per user per month doesn’t make any sense: I think for MS it might be cheaper to give products for free than to process these payments

Note that that number (180000) is per year, not per month

true

The cheapest M365 I see is 8 USD/month, not per year

Modern MS infra administration is far from “navigating arcane GUIs”: it’s all about PowerShell, IaC, automation etc.

It isn’t or the op posted the wrong number: 6 EUR/user/year is nothing for organizations

Certainly not this one: 6 EUR/user/year doesn’t cover even Windows

The world in general switched from Firefox to Chrome several years ago because at that time (when just released) Chrome was new, shiny, and fast (much faster than Firefox). And at that time everyone loved Google (they still had their infamous “be no evil” motto). And Google also promoted their browser, and, given their web resources are immensely popular, that helped tremendously.

That switch had nothing to do with recent concerns about privacy in Mozilla products.

My dude, that happened in 2016…

Why?

The Umbrella Academy: in the first couple of episodes like nothing happens and everyone is very sad.

You have the bootloader, the initramfs, the boot procedure, systemd, PID 1, you can check the logs, you have all those little things that make the system work

Windows has pretty much the same concepts. These two books talk about all that in deep:

Yes! Another big deal in Japan is (yes, still is) translation devices. While some people there move over to Google Translate, many old-fashioned ones still rock those gadgets that look like voice recorders but with a screen, and translate your dialogue. Japan, as a country in general, is known for not so good English skills among the population: as I understand many people don’t really see a need to learn that language. Especially given that those devices to deal with foreigners are available.

There are many gadgets (including specialized ones) in Japan that have been produced for the domestic market only.

Fight Club, The Matrix, The Terminator and Star Wars

Yes, and you can find perfect exact copies of all versions of these movies if you look in the right places
