As the other user commented, legal/licensing requirement could mandate this. Additionally over the course of time a few of the components/libraries that are used by the program might have gone through deprecation. Hence the software could do a Update Check but blocking it from using is simply unacceptable unless the first clause on licensing applies.

GUI for Linux ServerWhen we install Ubuntu Server all we get is terminal only access. I admit we can install necessary GUI like KDE, GNome etc. But my concern is whether there would be any security concern to be taken care of when installing anything like this for an Ubuntu Server Azure or AWS? Because I guess with a GUI we also need to expose ports for RDP unlike Private/Public key using Putty.

When a message is held in Quarantine ("Not publicly visible") there isn't an option to Edit/DeleteI just observed a limitation in the forums section. When the message is held for release from spam queue with the status ('
Not publicly visible
'), there is no option to Edit and Delete. At least for the poster-owner, these options should be made available, IMHO.

They have a Chromium based browser along with the antivirus products. In the installation screen, the checkbox to unselect the browser is not intuitively represented and hence tricking most users to get this bloatware on their computers.

Data Script Writer -- Tool to generate Insert/Update/Delete scripts from SQL Server DatabaseHitherto we used to generate the insert scripts through SSMS -> Tasks -> and then Generate Scripts. However the catch is that there is a need for manual intervention when moving these scripts across servers and between version deployments. Hence when trying to get assistance in one of my recent engagements I got to know about this OpenSource tool called DataScriptWriter which is an opensource one at-> GitHub: Where the world builds software · GitHub[^] The things I liked in it: 1) Modes to manage data like Merge (Insert/Delete/Update) using CTE 2) DevExpress Community Library There were a few unhandled exceptions and limitations where the output being saved. Just thought of doing a bit of fix and submitted the same and the author helped to accept the Pull Request.
