By the evidence, including his bank account, he's pretty f***ing good at presenting the MBA/CEO mentality to shareholders, that they love so f***ing much.

Marketing (lying convincingly) yourself as some CEO genius, when you're not, can easily bilk money out of shareholders. People fall for marketing tactics all the time if they don't know what to look for. The most shining current example of this is Trump. He's a complete fraud who got millions of people to vote for him and scam money out of people and companies who believed his bullshit. He pushed his lying-ass too far and now his entire house of cards is crashing down around him.
Given the "golden parachutes" executive level people get, it's a win-win for these people no matter how bad they are at their jobs. That bullshit needs to end.
CEOs like this guy eventually (hopefully) end up not being CEOs anymore because they leave a track record of corporate corpses and sketchy histories of blunders, like the Unity debacle, in their wake. Shareholders need to hold corporate boards more accountable for maintaining their "friends and family" networks, shuffling these bad apples around.

That's why the squeezing and nagging by companies are worse. Of course, the mind controlling media will flat-out lie to you about where we are headed, but their goal is keeping people ignorant and glued to the TV - not the truth.

I believe this is the very same genius who "invented" microtransactions while CEO of EA. Ill-educated over-ambitious low-integrity street-smart prick.

There was also the little bit about him selling more Unity shares than buying ... before the announcement; in fact, it was mostly, or all, selling.

I have a 2TB SSD that was used to run Windows (on another machine), and Hyper-V...the machine it was hooked up to died months ago, but I did continue to use the SSD in an external USB dock to run the VMs.
I have no use for the Windows installation on the drive; I'm not booting from it. So I tried to get rid of everything but the VMs.
My god, is it ever an adventure to try to get rid of the existing Program Files, Program Files (x86), ProgramData and Windows folders - even though Windows is NOT running from that disk. Taking ownership of folders, making sure the new ACL applies to child items (files and folders), deleting what you can, repeating for whatever Explorer refused to delete the first time around, etc. At this stage, it would've been faster to move the 1.7+ TB worth of VMs on it to another drive, reformat it, and copy the files back.
If I was trying to delete folders owned by the OS that is currently running - obviously that's bound to fail. But the OS is on a data drive; it ought to be easy to take ownership of folders, and delete the whole thing. But nope.
I've also been tempted to convert from NTFS to FAT32 (that will get rid of all folder permissions), and then back...but that would probably be even slower than moving the data I care about, reformatting, and recopying the files...
Anyone's been down that road?

Put live Linux on a USB, boot, mount Windows share, rm -rf Folder1, Folder2, Folder3 ..., Remove Linux USB, Boot back to windows. Done.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Interesting...
But isn't access still being controlled/enforced by NTFS ACLs?
|
|
|
|
|

Yeah, the partition is NTFS, as I understand it, someone reverse-engineered it all and implemented a Linux driver so NTFS partitions can be mounted/read like any other.
NTFS implements ACLs (access control lists) to determine who has access to files/folders. That's part of the file system, so the Linux driver has to follow that in order to be able to access anything. I could be wrong, but that would infer ACLs could be completely bypassed simply by ignoring them. Kinda like movies where someone is prompted for a password, and just types in 'override'.
I'll certainly give it a shot, I have other (unrelated) fires to put out this morning...

Same experience here.
I had a laptop with a 2 TB hard disk having four partitions C, D, E, F, 500 GB each with C: having the Win OS. Now, that laptop fell and broke, but luckily nothing happened to the hard disk. I put a cover to this 2 TB hard disk with a USB outlet; essentially making it an external hard drive.
It doesn't allow me to delete the Windows folder on that external drive. Same story with Program Files, Program Data.

It took quite a bit of time and patience, but taking ownership of files/folders, I managed to get rid of everything (Program Files, ProgramData) except for a number of Windows subfolders. Some of them just will NOT let me take over. I'll probably just move the VMs folder to another disk and reformat the disk altogether. And merge the boot partition with it, while I'm at it.
