I remember reading an article about that, how Jimmy Wales was driving super expensive sportscars around and such - it made me pretty much resolve to never donate to them. Ever.

Not withstanding the super aggressive please for cash every September or whenever they do it.

Is Jellyfin an all in one solution for media management and streaming?

I normally just use transmission and serviio (vastly superior to Plex IMO), and only recently found out about sonarr, radarr, etc.

Really though, is there not any 'all in one' solution, instead of all these various programs chained together? I get keeping the serviio bit separate, and maybe the torrent client, but the rest could easily be integrated into one app.

Microsoft has a very solid point here. MS has wanted to kick AV vendors out of kernel space for a long time because it isn't necessary, and can lead to the type of incident we are talking about here.

MS provides a userspace interface[0] for AV vendors to do what they need to do, but they can't be forced to use it.

So yes, due to EU regulations, AV vendors can still play in kernel space, and can bring much of the world to a halt when they make a mistake as a result.

Sure.

However, due to the nature of how these games work, cheating cannot be prevented serverside only.

So, if you want to play the game, you have to agree to install the anti-cheat because it's the only way to actually stop cheating.

The *only other alternative is to sell a separate category of gaming machines where users wouldn't have access to install cheats, using something like the TPM to enforce.
