This would be the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It’s interesting that the US is among the nations that have never ratified the treaty.

Also, Denmark has a long 500+ year history of charging ships to transit in and out of the Baltic Sea, so this really isn’t a new concept (Sound Tolls).

All foreign ships passing through the strait, whether en route to or from Denmark or not, had to stop in Helsingør and pay a toll to the Danish Crown. If a ship refused to stop, cannons in both Helsingør and Helsingborg could open fire and sink it.

I just searched for some more info on this and was definitely surprised by the design. That’s pretty neat. 😆

They are standing firm on two very reasonable AI guardrails that the Pentagon wants removed.

Anthropic has drawn two red lines: no mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons.

If I was looking for a home/DIY Cad software, I would be looking for one with an amateurish feel too. I don’t need professional features like flow and thermal analysis. That’s how I interpreted that comment, and I share their sentiment.

Edit: After re-reading the OP, I definitely don’t think it’s their software. Comments like “it has some frustrating bugs that I don’t think will ever be fixed” and “is [there] a better intermediate software package I should be considering?” contradict that assumption.

I’m not saying they aren’t involved with this project, but I’m not seeing any indication that they are. What is making you jump to this conclusion? (Their last comment was obviously sarcastic.)

I honestly think it’s a bit of a stretch to call it piracy when the open-source code is hosted on Microsoft-owned Github, and Microsoft support has been caught using it themselves: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-support-cracks-windows-for-customer-after-activation-fails/

The link I shared contains steps to activate the 3-year extension for free, on a non-business computer. I don’t care if this extension is marketed towards business accounts. You can activate all 3 years on your personal computer for free.

You can activate 3 years of updates for free with Microsoft Activation Scripts: https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol

You allow your TV to access the internet?

Extended security updates are available. This can be activated for free using Microsoft Activation Scripts.

Microsoft tech support has been repeatedly caught using these scripts to resolve support tickets for license issues. (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-support-cracks-windows-for-customer-after-activation-fails/) Also, the open source MAS code is hosted on Microsoft-owned Github, so they are appearantly not very concerned with people taking advantage of this exploit.

If you go this route, please also see the FAQ entry here. There is currently a glitch with commercial ESU keys (which this uses) and Windows Update will continue to claim that your device will no longer receive security updates. This is also effecting W10 LTSC systems. However, you can verify that the license key is active through Command Prompt and instructions are given in the FAQ.
