Windows blocking local accounts? Why do this...
On August 19, 2024 Dan discussed his frustrations with Microsoft 's efforts to eliminate local accounts in Windows 11 , and explains the broader implications of Section 230(c)(2) of the Communications Act of 1934 .[1] In the video, Dan points to a recent update by Microsoft which blocked a commonly used method to circumvent an online account creation requirement when installing the operating system. Dan argues that such updates, coupled with Microsoft's seemingly aggressive push towards requiring it's users to create online accounts, are creating a "line in the sand" for users who are not comfortable with having their accounts linked to an online service.
Dan pointed out that laws like Section 230(c)(2), which allow companies to block, remove, or filter content without facing legal repercussions, are outdated and inadequate for addressing modern technological challenges. Dan explains that the law, as it currently stands, restricts Windows license owners from having full control over their products. Dan further argues that this law is effectively sounding the death knell to the "open web", meaning a more restricted and controlled internet. Dan goes on to discuss the potentiality for additions/removals to the law, given that it has become a hot-button issue amongst Republicans and Democrats recently.
Dan concludes the video by expressing his intention to continue discussing these topics in future videos, with a focus on middleware, content deletion on the web, and tech law issues like Section 230.

What to do when your competitor goes out of business or gets acquired
On August 20, 2024 Dan discusses the opportunities presented to a business owner when a competitor goes out of business or gets acquired. [2] Dan argues that as a business owner, it is important to be quick and strategic when attempting to capitalize on these scenarios. Dan firstly recommends using Linkedin to find areas where one's own business may be weaker, seeing if the competitor's former employees excelled in those areas, and potentially offering those employees a position in one's own business(while keeping in mind these recently laid-off employees may be disgruntled). Dan further suggests that one could potentially evaluate the assets left behind by the competitor(assuming they were not acquired), but cautions against overvaluing them as a competitor which failed may not necessarily have the most beneficial strategies to adopt. Dan advises that business owners interested in technical assets or intellectual property, should consider reaching out to investors or board members quickly to negotiate a possible acquisition, as these assets might be undervalued following the competitor's dissolution.
