So, I’m being naive here, but why don’t people sue when they know this is the case? Like, it’s a bit of a stereotype that American’s are fairly litigious, but if you know that you’re being swindled, can’t you take them to court?

Wait a sec, I was told American’s don’t use the metric system…
Similar here. I used to have 2 screens that if they turned off for powersaving only 1 of them would wake up. So I had a script on the desktop to do a reset and move them correctly.

Wasn’t there some controversy about this that it wasn’t entirely open-source?
South England has a lot of tennis courts for the population
Is it? Isn’t it the most densely populated area in Europe?
Oh yes, I was using a 3.5" floppy disk drive with a USB connector in 2007 to kick off imaging on desktop machines as no one could get the ghost boot server working.
