And this is why I will never own a vehicle manufactured after 2006.
I have just too little control with newer vehicles, be it having to auth with the mothership with every repair I do at home just to get it to start up, or even failing to start up in the first place when the mothership could not be contacted.
I start off with Win10Privacy (which also cleans 11) and then follow up with Win11Debloat. The two work pretty well.
And Microsoft is stuffing AI straight into Windows.
Betchya dollars to fines that this will happen a lot more frequently as normal users begin to try to use Copilot.
That’s what I am saving up for, actually. The numbers of surplussed high-end compute just in my sparsely populated region could probably let me open my own datacentre.
I already practice a 5-year cycle.
As in, I get the latest and greatest, and then use it for a minimum of 5 years or until it can no longer take the currently released OS.
And because I run with Apple, that usually means 6-7 years between phones.
Android would have cost me a hell of a lot more over the years with the same upgrade pattern. Even now, most Android phones see only 3 or so years of full OS updates (if that!!), leaving their arses flapping in the wind for every remote exploit and malware under the sun once they’re abandoned.
Sooo… he works multiple part-time jobs?
Weird how a forced technique of the ultra-poor is showing up here.
