running “winget install firefox” in an elevated powershell gets you a better browser without ever opening edge. but then you still cannot uninstall it and all the other shit about it still stays active.

Malware disguised as legitimate software getting served as ads.
Just a few months ago people were shown faked websites for obs studio when searching for the original. They should vet whose ads they’re serving instead of just certifying certain corporations.

this is a good idea to hotfix a stupid problem.
- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows delay due to Ubisoft finally listening to developers "pushing for a delay for some time", says report 2 months ago:
going by their recent track record, I couldn’t be less excited about this game.

I’m not saying that lgbtq characters cannot play prominent roles, I’m saying that people will roll their eyes if being lgbtq is their primary attribute.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 2 months ago:
It cannot be front and center and normal at the same time. It cannot be the main part of a character’s identity, else it will always be perceived as “special” and “extra”, but not “normal”. Devs can make whatever game with whatever chars they want ofc, but the result is what we’re seeing with ubisoft.
I’m just ranting at this point.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 2 months ago:
funny, given that most gamers seem to agree with me, according to sales numbers. Noone wants this shit in games. Perhaps we’re not the problem.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 2 months ago:
Yup.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 2 months ago:
Bullshit. Normalization means not making a big deal out of it, which goes contrary to the woke standard of putting it front and center.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 2 months ago:
Because things like black protagonists with hip-hop music in the background make no sense in a feudal japanese setting and people are sick of games being abused as vehicles for morality preaching.
An example from borderlanfs two could be Sir Hammerlock, who was introduced as a normal (for borderlands) character early on and later in a side quest was revealed to be gay in passing. That’s the kind of ‘representation’ you want for lgbtq to be “normalized”. In modern games, his story would be one of struggle against straight white oppressors at the end of which there would be a five minute long cutscene in which everybody turns to the camera and informs the player that being gay is normal and that prejudice is bad and that straight white people are inherently evil. I’m overexagerating (spelling?) of course, but you get the point.

- fire all DEI consultants
- get rid of woke writers
- stop making everything live service
- give devs more time to optimize
- don’t overmonetize your games
literally all they need to do. If you make games that people actually want to play, then people will buy them. And if you want to have lgbtq characters, then do it like borderlands 2, that game got it right in 2012.

Steam only charges that for larger developers though iirc
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 2 months ago:
Sinkholes can be negated by manufacturers using static, hardcoded dns addresses. Be careful and don’t check traffic regularly.

I’ve not looked into it, but it’s probably pitched as a feel-good way of supporting artists.

It absolutily isn’t. Get your head out of the sand.
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 2 months ago:
Friend of mine has a Merc that detects oncoming traffic and auto-adjusts the high beams to not illuminate other cars and it works really well. But there is always a short delay, so for half a second oncoming drivers get to enjoy the power of the sun.
- Comment on Qualcomm Reportedly Taps Intel With An Acquisition Offer 3 months ago:
No. AMD and Intel have a bunch of legally binding agreements that allow each other to manufacture CPUs that are essentially 100% compatible architecture-wise. You can install any OS on an Intel CPU, replace that CPU with one from AMD and expect things to work just the same (talking compatibility, not performance) and vice versa. The 64bit extension for the x86 architecture was created by and is patented by AMD. Intel are able to use that extension in any of their processors without paying royalties, but AMD are the owners of that specific technology. The contracts between these two companies also dictate that those contracts need to be renegotiated in case either company gets bought out, which makes me think that qualcomm would only care about buying intel because it would allow them to essentially permanently deadlock all negotiations and thus kill the x86 architecture, immediatly handing the entire CPU industry to ARM and, going by market share, themselves.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement 3 months ago:
It is a hard requirement and thus part of the experience.
- Comment on Qualcomm Reportedly Taps Intel With An Acquisition Offer 3 months ago:
Change in leadership would also mean that the deal with AMD would have to be renegotiated, meaning that intel under qualcomm would not be legally able to create new 64-bit CPUs.
- Comment on [Hardware Unboxed] AMD Ryzen 7 9700X vs. 7700X: 40+ Game Benchmark [23H2 vs. 24H2] 3 months ago:
this is insane uplift for an OS-update. the fact that it also boosts Ryzen 7000 and barely affects intel makes this even more interesting

Switched to linux on my private devices but need to use windows at work (domain admin). I wish microsoft would just go away.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 4 months ago:
I see, they don’t state anywhere that the results of the screenshot analysis are never transmitted to them.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 4 months ago:
Good, but as pointed out by another user, you might need to reconfigure grub after deleting the windows partition. Or save your files on an external media and reinstall debian over the entire disk if you don’t want to mess around.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 4 months ago:
Sounds like you’re using the windows bootloader. You should look into grub (that’s your bootloader in linux), you’ll probably need to reinstall\reconfigure that. Or you save your files on an external media and just reinstall linux over the entire disk. No shame in not wanting to ‘learn linux’.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 4 months ago:
No internet or cloud connections are required or used to save and analyze snapshots. Your snapshots aren’t sent to Microsoft. Recall AI processing occurs locally, and your snapshots are securely stored on your local device only.
That’s better than I thought. For the moment.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 4 months ago:
It can, but that’s not what I meant. When booting linux, do you see the blue windows menu where you can decide between debian and windows or does linux just start? If it just starts, you can just delete the windows partition (make sure to check that all important data has been copied to linux or you will loose it!). If unsure which partition it is, it’s the one with ntfs as the file system.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 4 months ago:
You could use GUI partitioning tools to just remove the windows partition and expand your debian installation. Did you install an extra bootloader for linux?
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 4 months ago:
Did they make hard commitments to 100% keep the data local and never use it to spy on you? What does their privacy policy say? Come on dude, we’re talking about microsoft. You’re more likely to receive millions from a nigerian prince than to get some privacy from them.

You could do anal and read up on laws, just maybe not at once

I always worder if these sums include the fee of the lawyer. Would really be a much smaller payout if true.
