  It is a question. The answer is always “Aight”

  I’m not even sure I would call it “low income households”, more like “older building/houses”. Plenty of expensive apartment units are in old buildings (I’m looking at you NYC) without proper ventilation.

  I own a unit in a co-op in a building that is over 100 years old. I have a gas stove. There is a vent on my above-range microwave but it’s just a filter that blows it back into the room. I do a lot of cooking. I’m in danger.

  While this article is about upgrading to Win11, not necessarily a clean install, I found the best way to bypass the requirements is to make an autounnatend with Schneegans.de . Make a Win11 installation USB, generate an autounnatend to bypass the requirements, remove bloat, allow offline install (local account instead of Microsoft account), and a couple other little tweaks like dark mode etc. Drop the xml on the root of the flash drive, and boom.

  Or… You know… Install Linux.

  They have been in hot water before when they were caught scraping data without consent and sending it back to Epic. Folders/files and apparently steam user info?

  The client still supposedly phones home with some encrypted data and nobody is completely sure what it is, they say it’s anti-cheat stuff, but then there’s this:

  “40% of Epic Games is owned by Tencent they’re a Chinese Tech Company which the Chinese Government has a certain say in what they do. LITERALLY without Tencent Epic would go under they’re the only reason why Epic Games has gotten so many exclusives and given away so many free games. There is LITERALLY a board member in Tencent that was appointed by the Chinese Government.”

  So can we trust them? Probably not.

  Hell yeah! I did not know this was an option. Thanks for the tip!

  What a fantastic story! I could feel the warm sun, and taste the fresh vegetables. It really brought a smile to my face. I remember growing up in the late 80’s and my parents had an old man neighbor with a garden. He used to give tomatoes to me and my siblings and we would sit on the back steps with a salt shaker and just shake some salt on them and eat them like they were apples. They were delicious! For years I have wondered if my memory was serving me wrong, or if tomatoes have just gotten flavorless over the years. I’m happy to hear it’s not just me.

  Roasted broccoli squad checking in. This guy’s is missing out.

  Actually most vegetables. Roast them in the oven with a tiny bit of oil, salt, and pepper. They always come out delicious.

  Cool. So now I can expect Nintendo to start a DMCA takedown campaign of all their music on YouTube, and completely destroy the playlists I made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand.

  And what exactly is stopping me from scanning library books and uploading them online? Are you going to ban libraries too?

  Actually, let’s not give them ideas.

  Mentioned this in another comment. Take that second dism line, and put it in a batch script and make it a scheduled task that runs at login. Or use a Powershell script to make it a little smarter - check if it’s enabled first and then disable it if it is.

  Modern problems require modern solutions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to make a Powershell script or batch that uninstalls/turns off the feature and then make a scheduled task that runs the ps1/bat at login.

  Its insane that this is what you have to do to keep this shit off your system, but it’s effective.

  I had to do this with New Outlook because it kept reinstalling after Windows updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my understanding is that these capchas were made to harvest data to use for AI/Autopilot driven cars. That’s why they are always having you identify motorcycles, bycicles, crosswalks, stoplights, busses, etc. It’s all stuff that automatic driving cars have had a hard time identifying.
