Venezuela is by now a failed state run by criminals, so I think they 
probably don't even follow their own rules.

Fascinating! Never seen such a thing in europe. On the other hand, I've 
run linux 100% the past 2 decades and I only work with linux and the 
associated eco-system so fortunately I do not get exposed to windows that 
often.

My main source of filth is teams and chrome.

This is the biggest mistake in monetary policy in our times. The economy 
of the state should be run _exactly_ as the individual economy. If that 
was the case, we'd have much more stable markets, and happier long term 
prospects.
