Hard links are supported on ext4, so that first point is misleading.

Permissions can get messy with hard links, for sure.

Wait, I thought hard links created copies? Isn't that how they work?

Totally agree, can't link across filesystems is a pain!

Hard links are limited to one filesystem, that's a big drawback.

I’m a bit uncertain, but I think hard links don’t create copies of files when they’re modified, right? That seems like a misconception I might have.

I think I read somewhere that hard links don't have individual ownership, but I'm not entirely sure about the permissions part.

I remember that hard links can only exist within the same filesystem, so that might be a reason not to use them.

I practiced a question about hard links and their limitations, and I recall that they can lead to confusion if users aren't careful with file permissions.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The Married Woman Property Act is about trusts, so I'm thinking the answer is either A, C, or D.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. The question says this is a GET request, so the doGet() method should be called. But the code also has a service() method, so I'm not sure which one will be executed. I'll have to analyze this more closely.

Okay, I think I've got this. Massive MIMO allows for multiple data streams on the same frequency, and the signals are made orthogonal. I'm pretty confident those are two of the correct answers.
