Does anyone know how to rid a mac of Crowdstrike or Bitdefender without a maintaince key?
It seems crazy to me that I'm the adminstrator of a machine I own and I can't get rid of this useless shit.
(It a long story how it got on there and why I don't want to wipe and start again).

It’s that time again: Dan Aykroyd as Louis Winthorpe III has his life spectacularly derailed by Randolph and Mortimer, by way of Eddie Murphy as Billy Ray Valentine in John Landis’ 1983 comedy classic, TRADING PLACES. Catch it 1st & 31st December. 🎟️ buff.ly/JWskMYP

That would be former Tory MP John Penrose, a guy who voted in favour of changing lobbying rules after his mate & fellow Tory MP Owen Paterson got fingered for falling foul of the existing ones by lobbying for...wait for it...the aforementioned...Randox, for whom Paterson was a paid consultant.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The UK government is talking about raising tax here. How about they look at foreign owned businesses, operating in the UK and using WePay to take payment to avoid paying UK taxes?
I'm looking at you London noodle shops.

Their highest-paid actor made $30k last year. Sounds a lot, but that’s from 1.2 bn paid uses - $0.000025 per job. ElevenLabs charge 20 cents per 1,000 words. So they’re making at least 8,000 times what their artists are.

I detest this recent UX trend where the options to a supposedly binary question are "Yes" and "Maybe Later" / "Not Right Now" / "Review Later". What's wrong with a plain "No"?

For that, policy should follow two simple principles:
First, all public support for EVs should apply only to cars made in Europe or allied countries.
Second, the eligibility rules should be harmonised across the EU, so member-states are not busy outsmarting each other while losing the global race
