  • Every single business running Windows computers (which is about all of them) will have an Active Directory running on Windows.

    Every company I worked for only ever had a handful of Linux servers and the majority of Windows servers.

    Microsoft revenue generated $26.7 billion in one quarter from its Licensing, and even though a lot of it was through cloud, a lot of it also came through self hosted Windows servers.

    You live in a bubble if you think nobody is using Windows server.





  • Which is dumb in a high fantasy setting, imo.

    Using low magic is a crutch for the DM in order to control the actions of the PCs.

    It is much easier to manage mundane actions than it is to manage actions fueled by wild magic. But they lead to less interesting stories.

    I have much more fun DMing a setting like old Netheril. The stuff the PCs can do blow my mind. You just need to be able to fly by the seat of your pants.


  • USB-C isn’t a straight upgrade of USB-A though. Both have their pros and cons.

    USB-C has much higher bandwidth and allows more power draw. 2 nice features, but totally useless on something like a mouse.

    USB-A is soo much cheaper and more sturdy. A much better connector for simple peripherals like mouses and keyboards.

    So a laptop with only USB-C is quite dumb. It costs nothing to add a couple of USB-A ports, and it will save you a lot of money.
