- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
Regardless of OS, I’d like to see actual user numbers with stats like this because a percentage oversimplifies the landscape.
Have people moved away from (uninstalled) Windows 11 or have people just bought computers with a different OS/older version of Windows on it. To me, these tell a different tale.

Aegis does automatic backups. I guess you didn’t turn it on?
- Comment on Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? 1 week ago:
I don’t seem to have an issue with swiping on my keyboard either except for names and abbreviations/capitalisations but then all phone keyboards struggle with that except for T9 and blackberries. I think it’s a small price to pay for such fast and effortlessly swiping for 99.9% of the time.

Open it in a browser that’s not your main browser and clear your cookies afterwards. Or have a browser that automatically removes all cookies on exit.
I hate those types of cookie consent forms because they feel like a dark pattern wanting to make it as excruciating as possible just so you give in and click accept all.
- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 1 week ago:
Modern Logitech mice are the same. The cheap Chinese Omron switches in the same mouse look like they’re from different factories.
I have two G604 mice that I bought within a couple of months of each other and one of them started double clicking. So I did a button switch just like you but with Kailh reds. Each mouse had old looking Omron switches.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 1 week ago:
I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 1 week ago:
I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.
I’ve seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.

I had one around 2012-2013 and it failed on me. I had issues with it throughout its life but I didn’t realise it was the drive until I upgraded to a Samsung.

I wonder how they manage to bypass the geo-location blocks? I would if they frequently rotate their IP Addresses with fresh ones.

- Comment on Which of these VPS providers would you recommend? 3 weeks ago:
When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.
One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.

Windows 10 does the exact same thing these days. I have no idea of the frequency on Windows 10 but I’ve seen it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m impressed at the balanced conversations in this submission. People who are both for and against Windows and Linux. As I remember, it felt like everyone was heavily biased towards Linux and hated everything about Windows 6 months ago.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
WizFile does a good job at it too. It works differently though; WizFile just looks at your partition table of the selected drive/directory. It’s super fast in all aspects but it’s only a single drive/directory at a time. I think Everything is slow to index everything but is super fast when searching and works across multiple drives/directories
WizFile is made by the same people who make WizTree and is essentially the same program, but instead of visually showing you the disk, it allows you to search.

There are only about 2000 exit nodes. I wonder how many are running on substantial hardware and internet connections.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
There was a submission made about how few people donate to the Devs. I asked about transparency and some links were given that show some things. I commented that it’s not as transparent as it seems at first glance and they responded that it’s fully transparent. I asked them to clarify but they decided to ignore me. I see why the Devs get criticism.

I stick with the big names and then just use the cheapest for that TLD.

Some add this as an additional fee and others include it in the annual price.
- Comment on How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high? 1 month ago:
Could you use an alternative machine as a temporary machine until you get it resolved?
And do you actually need all of them running 24/7 or are at least some of them nice to haves?
- Comment on How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high? 1 month ago:
You could disable most of the services running, reintroduce one, see how it performs. Once satisfied reintroduce another, so on and so forth until you’ve fingered out what is at issue.

Sounds like a horrible internet experience. No thanks.

At least once every 6 months I come across a top Google result trying to download malicious scripts. The web searches are innocent, eg. “Iso standard metric thread” or “bee keeper hive monitor”, which are both search terms in the past where a top result had malicious scripts.

So companies like Proton and BitWarden are harvesting your data with their free tiers?

I tried Windows Defender a couple of years ago for an entire year. I thought it was dog water. The anti-ransomeware feature was the only nice thing about it. I now use BitDefender.
