Yes, it’s a loan so big that normal personal finance “savings and loans” rules don’t really apply. This loan is 3X EA’s entire revenue, 2X Nintendo’s entire revenue. Basically an entire new game-publisher’s worth of money flowed into the gaming industry to exert dictatorial control over EA. JPMorgan Chase just have to make sure that they get their money back from the EA employees they just helped the Saudis buy.

In return, the saudis promise that they can siphon $20B from fired workers back to the bankers over the next ~10 years.

Also, with modern web apps its not really necessary to use ldap for the local user. My past 4 jobs have not used AD login on Windows. Albeit they were all small to medium sized businesses.
All the large businesses I have worked for are also looking into Macs and Linux for their employees.
It’s definitely a challenge to move from windows but it would be malpractice to not investigate it.

Kubernetes is great for single nodes! It definitely is more advanced than docker compose, but it’s actually not hard at all if you read through the documentation. It definitely makes running containers easier in the long run.
Here is my git repo for my big Kubernetes cluster at home: https://codeberg.org/jlh/h5b/src/branch/main/argo/custom_applications
It started out as just a NFS server and a Kubernetes server running on Proxmox in 2021.
The growing Chinese nuclear arsenal unrestricted by cold war-era treaties is the more pressing concern in nuclear arms (de)escalation.
