- Comment on Leaked Windows 11 "Government Edition” that has no telemetry tracking or bloatware is actually FAKE 4 months ago:
yeah I’m using enterprise rn, can even completely disable ms accounts, as in the os just completely forgets they exist (except per-application logins of course, by ms accounts i mean the os-wide integration) like when you go create an account, it just skips right to local account creation… copilot can be disabled, widgets can be disabled too…
if you have enterprise edition you can actually disable telemetry instead of trying to block it (aka the “Security” level (iirc it can also be called “Compliance” or sth), all other versions only allow “Required”) - Comment on Scalpers Work With Hackers to Liberate Ticketmaster's ‘Non-Transferable’ Tickets 4 months ago:

- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 5 months ago:
10mbps is not even an option anymore tho for most isps.
50 is the lowest that’s still exists, with most isps offering 100 or 300 as the cheapest option - Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 5 months ago:
but it’s not 90s anymore. it’s hard to even find a slower connection than 100-300mbps nowadays
- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 5 months ago:
wdym even a shitty 50mbps connection is enough to watch stuff at 1080p

- Comment on Android's new anti-theft features 5 months ago:
well the whole point of android is to isolate data between apps. that includes your file explorer app.
still crazy how there’s no way to do unencrypted backups anymore though. the adb backups are deprecated and even though the command still exists it seems broken on android 13 and 14 - Comment on Android's new anti-theft features 5 months ago:
also don’t see how you could trigger it assuming it expects a very specific movement pattern
- Comment on Android's new anti-theft features 5 months ago:
you have to sign out of your account before resetting the phone in order to prevent tripping the protection.
in case you trip it, you need to enter your credentials, your phone will reboot and do another wipe stage and then will jump right back to the OOBE, fully unlocked - Comment on Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Windows 11 Settings homepage 6 months ago:
entire home tab is just ad space and can be disabled
or just upgrade to enterprise, comes with no ms 365 ads and the home tab is disabled out of the box.
you’ll get literally zero ads in built-in apps - Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:

- Comment on People left seriously creeped out after woman shares how to find out everything Google knows about you 6 months ago:
i have only YouTube and google search history enabled (personalization is good enough in both that i actually do care about it), and set to the lowest auto delete option
- Comment on Come on, science! 6 months ago:
- it makes it easier to find the fingerprint sensor (although there’s an option to show only the sensor without all the other stuff)
- allows quickly checking time and battery levels by just glancing at the phone and provides a superior alternative to notification led, you actually see which apps sent you notifications specifically.

i usually go for midrange as i like to mess with my phones and stuff.
like i compiling large c projects, running linux desktop environments etc - Comment on Come on, science! 6 months ago:
yeah i still whip out my old redmi note 4 whenever i need to use some obscure appliance that only works with ir.
the thing’s annoying af tho, the battery’s dies after like 5 minutes, barely able to charge and turns off randomly, the thing takes 5 minutes to boot and the os is ridiculously slow with all the modern updates - Comment on Come on, science! 6 months ago:
AOD is a thing yk
