Only pedophiles defend pedophiles.
And I fucking HATE pedophiles.
Woody Allen is still a pedophile who raped one of his own young step-daughters and married another.
People who defend that shit are SICK.

It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.
In the US, if you are an hourly non-exempt employee, that is overt wage theft in all 50 states. If a task is made mandatory by an employer, they must pay you for the time you spent on it.
I know this doesn’t help you now, of course, but it’s good to know in case you run into it again and feel like pushing back with a report to the Dept of Labor.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted; out of curiosity I just now tried it on Windows myself (Google Chrome 120.0.6099.130 Official Build 64-bit) by typing mozilla.org, clicking “Firefox downloads” at the top, and selecting the one for Windows. It sailed through almost instantly.
BUT - just because it worked for me personally on a completely different machine, OS, and installer doesn’t mean OP is misrepresenting what happened to him; competitive app blocking has certainly happened with Edge. For all we know it’s some Google A/B trial bullshit, no telling at this point.

I’m not homeless, I’m not hungry, but it enrages me on behalf of those who are.
It’s one thing to throw food away, especially multiple meals’ worth – which is kind of shitty in itself when you could give or donate it away, even fast food at the end of a night shift – but legally it’s just property. The owner can do what they want with it. No harm, no foul.
But it’s quite another to make a show of throwing food away AND going out of your way to be an asshole about it (licking it and making it uneatable, as a pointed message) in the declining world we live in right now.
These employees that are doing this clearly are not going without food today, but give it a few years. Even in the best of lives, shit happens.
New to Linux, this is fantastic. Thank you.

I believe a USB WiFi dongle will be a better idea than modifying live images of various distros
Yeah, you and me both. But I’d be willing to do it for one or two, just to be able to prove that THIS laptop can and will run Linux with its current hardware, should he choose install it.
Also, the only thing lost by modifying LiveUSB trials is my time. If I corrupt the image, or it doesn’t work, or I make it crap out somehow – all of which is likely, lol – I still have done no harm at all. It’s just a USB stick. And I will also have learned a few things along the way, like how Linux distros install and use drivers.
you would be installing the firmware on the Linux system, not onto the WiFi module.
Then technically (not that I personally have the chops to do it) this “firmware” could also be something plugged into the distro on the LiveUSB stick along with the wl driver. That distro is getting its current drivers from somewhere on that USB already, so I’m not reinventing the wheel, just adding to what is already there.
I guess I just have to read up more. Thanks for letting me know the difference.
This I can do. Thanks!
Sir, do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Linux?
The problem is that if he doesn’t continue to do that, he will be fired. That is literally the CEOs only responsibility, to the shareholders
Bill Ford not going to be fired, or even reprimanded. He’s literally a Ford of the founding Fords, “the great grandson of company founder Henry Ford,” with an ownership stake: it’s the family business.
This is ALL about profit, even for him. All carrot, no stick for him personally.

Thank you, yes, exactly. I don’t downvote low effort “but why” questions. but I also don’t answer them.
I am far more tired of putting effort into lengthy, carefully crafted, good-faith responses only to have gotten sucked in by some asshole looking for an argument than I am willing to accept further.
Speaking personally, from the earliest days of Reddit, I have taken unexpected downvotes for a genuine question as code for “keep lurking/look it up” and unless I am stuck on search words it has never failed me. I recommend this for others.
TL;DR: If you sincerely have a question, try putting as much effort into your question as you’d like to receive by way of a response. And if you’re just an argumentative troll (not you, CoggyMcFee, lol) then fuck you. Seriously. With a rusty, tetanus-bearing lawnmower blade. Sideways.
