Installing raspbian image on new pi4. First apt update could not reach a microsoft source.

Im so happy my router caught it, and blocked it (dnscrypt with lists of domains to block like pi hole).

Very suprised that it was allowed in the apt sources list from official image.

Microsoft bought a lot of Apple Macintosh related companies, to force them to abandon Mac:

Microsoft bought Bungie (makers of Halo) and made them stop making games come out on mac first.

Microsoft bought "Virtual PC" and made them stop making virtual PC emulators for mac.

Microsoft bought "Xamarin and its Android emulator" and made Xamarin stop making android emulators for mac.

Microsoft buys tons of critical things just to kill them off... but they did NOT buy RedHat trademark.

On April 1st (April Fools Day) Microsoft bought Umbuntu trademark to kill off Canonical Umbuntu!:

This other shocking link is a real thing though :
