- Comment on Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year 2 weeks ago:
I switched to Linux myself but can we please stop lying about Linux being a drop-in replacement? There is enough sofware that does not work.

I mean, it’s very easy money given you already have a channel and a name dor youself. What would YT have to pay creators to not care about such easy money?
- Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog 1 month ago:
As a YT Premium subscriber I really don’t mind the sponsor sections. Money goes to the creator and a few taps and I’m back to watching. Also, I think outright banning sponsor segments is going to make creators more creative in a bad way…
- Comment on Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware 3 months ago:
Short answer because I’m drunk but I have to admit I’m somewhat older so I play a lot of indie titles. And one of the few triple A games that I play (BF5) forces me to boot into Windows but that is a fraction of what I play.
I use Discord, Steam and Firefox mainly and don’t do much productivity wise so probably a biased experience.
My 6750XT was automatically installed and had no work from it whatsoever.

Just switched after seeing how much of my Steam library I could play on my Deck. Just have to switch back for BF5 sometimes and I don’t miss Windows at all. Very nice experience.

A simple PC, you can also use it to browse, download stuff, Steam stream etc. The possibilities are endless
- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs 9 months ago:
So you think that what you have described above is something all Windows 10 users deal with?
- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs 9 months ago:
For all it’s shortcomings this sounds more of something on your end and also something quirky that you will any OS really…
- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs 9 months ago:
In this context an unsupported cpu would be an i7 7700K for example. Hardly e-waste and can perform quite well…
- Comment on What is the best way to safely and completely erase all data from old laptops? 11 months ago:
Cracking encryption gets easier over time. This is a timebomb.
- Comment on Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself 1 year ago:
Kinda disagree here, my parents also won’t install Windows or any other OS by themselves. An average person isn’t going to switch to an alternate OS. Because they do not care.
An average person however IS going to want that specific Windows only mail client, legacy applications that don’t run on Linux or use their bank website that isn’t supported by Linux.
This is a one way ticket to making yourself the sole family sysadmin.

Unlike?
- Comment on Xbox's new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error '0x82d60002' 1 year ago:
Then again, rebuying all your games and paying way too much for them is something to take into account. But admittedly, the PS5’s thing where you can play some PS4 games is pretty neat.

Can you name them for me because I can’t seem to find them for sale in Europe. Apart from Axis.
- Comment on Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag 1 year ago:
It’s not about performance but compatibility. Such as certain anti-cheat software in online games.
- Comment on Microsoft is preparing to bring on Amazon as a customer of its 365 cloud tools in a $1 billion megadeal, according to an internal document 1 year ago:
If you have duplicate shortcuts you probably have the same OneDrive account on multiple computers. Put them on your public desktop in stead of your own OneDrive backed up desktop.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
So is paying for car repair or a builder when a lot of times you can do it yourself and save money. In this case, when the whole familiy is involved and also taking into account that YT Premium also accounts for my work laptop and my phone I can easily understand why OP chooses to pay for YT Premium instead of more reasons to be the family helpdesk…

I wish the warehouse workers would get a break…
- Comment on Massive leak reveals next-gen Xbox could be a cloud-hybrid console, Series X|S refresh coming in 2024 | The Xbox is set to undergo a sea-change in the coming years. 1 year ago:
I feel the same but I buy shit on Steam all the time. Probably because I can still play my old shit on there and I don’t risk having to buy every indie game several times because it isn’t compatible with the latest console.
Also, the pricing on console stores are ridiculous…
