  • I was in a very similar situation not too long ago, and my solution was also to just have a spare ssd, install windows on it, make the update and then go back. I tried to use a pe version of windows, as well a full blown windows on a USB. These solutions just didn't work as expected, somehow the update would always fail. Windows on a proper ssd worked

  • You can always try second hand market if in your region is somewhat healthy. I am not entirely sure what is your use case, but for work related and studies I would advise to get a lenovo thinkpad of some kind. Durable machines overral and can be get for decent prices. Other enterprise level laptops also work

  • So you have people to exchange messages with? Huh, such a novel concept

  • I had issues with this as well, in my case it turns out he wanted to be warm, like very warm. I am not kidding, we are talking 3 hot water bags to setup the bed and leave 2 after he was in

  • I can only think of myself inside that thing as a ballast: keep vomiting and passing out until eventually dying (good gracious, just imagine someone made this as a torture device)

  • Pretty much yes

  • Did you try to run the native windows version and see how it works?

  • Reminder: if your body asks, rest. Probably is overdue for proper rest

  • The biggest problem I see on this case is basically the guy on the top calling these "people" an "opportunity" and then go after people that were actually doing something about it.

    Basically the ceo is an enabler, and probably a pedo too. Pedos will go wherever kids are. Its up to the platforms and parents to also shield their kids

  • I can tell you one thing: this would not stop Nintendo layers if it was a Nintendo game, and they would be foaming from the mouth eager to take action

  • Unfortunately yes. I used to play many years ago, loved (and still love) the game format. But after the release of modern masters at the price they did, I knew things would never get better. Wizards and Hasbro are in on the card evaluation market. They could, at ANY time, squash it. They decided to foster it

  • Which begs the question: if you, as a company, do not want to support the device on systems not on the short list, why not open source the main driver and let the people figure out how to make it work somewhere else? Is this such a stupid thing to wish for?

  • If I am not here for recreational drugs, I am here for the pay check. What else you want from me then??

  • One of the biggest problems right now is AI=LLM which could not be further from the truth

  • I still find in general super creepy that anti cheat systems (most of them) insist on having kernel access instead of using, you know, actual statistics and machine learning.

  • There are a couple of things that can be done. Do keep in mind that most of these require some maintenance and checking, since windows updates are notorious for re enabling stuff:

    • for windows itself, there are utilities like o&o shutup windows. This usually works quite well to go into the well hidden reg options to disable telemetry
    • another good advice is to use such tool to straight up uninstall what ships with windows that you don't need
    • at the network level in your house, having a DNS block level service is great. Pihole and adguard come to mind. This solution is more involved and requires more time to setup, but has tremendous benefits not only on windows telemetry, but overall network telemetry
    • if you are not in the capacity to have a network level service, setting up the machine to use nextdns is another good step. It is also a DNS block level kind of solution, but works by pointing the machine to the DNS to be used system wide. Do keep in mind is certainly possible for the system in places to use hardcoded DNS and ignore your options (at network level, you can always force to reroute to your local DNS. The case of DoH is a bit more tricky)

    Hopefully this helps

  • Slaying pillows in dream tactics

  • Shake my head my head

  • Will do after I get the chance
