The improvement is you’re less likely to use your computer the way you want to instead of the way Micro$lop wants to tell investors you could use it in a way beneficial to them.

Having a theoretical way to maybe do what I suggest hidden in a menu during install and potentially reversed on its own during a standard update (as it happened to me on windows 10) isn’t the same as having it be a clear choice to use one drive as a personally chosen storage location.

Yeah, I just don’t trust it so I don’t use it. I have one drive storage and use it, but only on my phone and via the website. I don’t let it touch my windows install because it’s just waaaaaay too aggressive.

I do not because I have never installed windows 11 on a computer personally. I tediously forced all my windows 10 installs to local accounts and forcibly clawed back my local folders on my old laptop after one drive stole everything. I’m also still super skeptical about how “easy” it is to avoid one drive “integration” on windows 11.

Needs more than just backing off AI to get me to upgrade my backup windows 10 installations (only use them for things Linux can’t do).
Control panel/settings needs to be fixed and they can fuck right off with one drive. Every file should be on my computer unless I specifically save to a clearly designated cloud drive. No cloud functions should ever touch files I have saved (by default) to my computer. Also unfuck the start and explorer menus and give me back my pinball.
- Comment on People espousing that unions don't work should have a look at police unions. 1 week ago:
Are you going to argue that police unions are a net good? They are the reason we have impenetrable qualifed immunity for even ridiculously egregious misconduct and any time a cop is shown to actually go over the absurdly strict line of what they can be held legally accountable for, the unions protect them at all costs. The reason criminal cops can just get hired at any other PD and their past is covered up/ignored is the police unions. I’m not saying they don’t do good things, but the bad they do is way too much to overlook.
- Comment on What next, power supply shortages? 3 weeks ago:
I spent months trying to get my GPU, I finally got it and settled on my ram figuring “I’ll just wait a year or so then upgrade when there are better options.” Whelp, there goes that plan.
- Comment on After RAM and SSDs, PSUs and CPU coolers are next in line for price hikes 4 weeks ago:
So glad I built mine last year. I still wish I had gotten a bit more ram but I didn’t realize that the price gouging I was fighting at the time was just the beginning.

- Comment on Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal 1 month ago:
Well, it’s been doing great for my first foray into Linux so far. What are the limits of snap that end up being annoying?

Kubuntu is another great option.
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 1 month ago:
Well you forget that the purpose of a subscription is just to take even more money regularly. It was never about providing a service. The fact that they’re limiting playtime shows they have insufficient hardware and have no intentions of correcting the issue. The answer is to just charge more money for the same flawed “service. “

I added a few domains based on what the TV was pinging. I can look them up when I get home.

Pi hole and block LG’s servers. You can’t just opt out. It will wait for a power outage to opt you back in or “critical security patch” and they’ll force it anyway.

Sweet, I contributed to both those categories.
- Comment on Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline 2 months ago:
Unfortunately this is from a Chinese company and China will never make it illegal; hell they’re more likely to pass a law requiring ILIFE to share the personal data with the government than tell them not to collect them. This could be enforced for US based companies but as long as we buy luxury goods from China this is going to be a fact of life.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung 2 months ago:
Damn, I was hoping to upgrade my ram in the next 6 months. When I built my PC last winter I couldn’t find any decent 64gb sticks so I went with 46gb instead figuring I’d upgrade when they got reasonable. Oh well, guess I’m rocking them for a bit longer.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 2 months ago:
Not quite, someone posted that he could end it and he responded that if the WFP provided a plan showing the specifics of how world hunger could be ended for that amount he would fund it. WFP then provided a plan for how that amount could be used to help reduce world hunger for a short time and Elon said “the claim was end world hunger, not reduce it temporarily” which meant they didn’t meet challenge.

Good thing I deleted my PayPal years ago over a previous TOS change.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 year ago:
And this is where you went? This is literally Reddit’s bias taken to the level of hyperbole. The extremism groupthink here is the primary reason it hasn’t and likely will never go mainstream.
