There’s a “hub” mode where your endpoint inside the network grants access to the whole network like a standard VPN server.

Can just say: nope. No difference for me.

You’re the popcorn of the rich.

Not like they didn’t add that 32 core power license limit once big epyc CPUs came out…

I don’t care so much about that, more so about the “everything is a subscription” bullshit. Hope they are least keep the offline variant…

Not that unusual depending on the software. A lot of them honour the TTL literally.

One enterprise software I know that does it is VMware vcenter. I’m sure there’s plenty of consumer software that retries excessively.
