- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 5 days ago:
The virtual machine I installed windows on to play games with kernel-level anticheat and other such spyware apparently isn’t compatible with windows 11. That’s a positive for 2 reasons, which are:
- It can’t run Windows 11, so no risk of a forced upgrade
- Windows won’t constantly harass me to upgrade.
10/10 experience, would not give give Windows access to bare metal again.

- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 7 months ago:
I saw my first cybertruck in traffic yesterday, I initially thought that some redneck had every part you need to make a car except for the frame and body, and was like “I don’t need none of that fancy shit, I got square tube and steel plate!” and welded together the laziest design they could think of. Then I realized it was just a cybertruck, and promptly laughed at it.

Anything sensitive is encrypted and I never decrypt it while running windows.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 10 months ago:
I bought Sea of Thieves about 5 years ago. Recently, they added kernal-level anticheat (which does precisely fuck-all to actually stop cheating). While that is annoying, I’m not particularly worried because the studio that makes that game is owned by Microsoft, and like all Microsoft products, it was banished to my windows partition with the rest of the spyware.

My parents didn’t get me a phone until after they forgot to pick me up from school and I was left there for three hours. And even then it was a fliphone.
