Fuck Google and its fcking recaptcha with its fcking traffic lights, fcking crosswalks, fcking hydrants, fcking bicycles and fcking CARS! FCK!

Can confirm. Mine is about 22 years old. Unfortunately the USB adapter isn’t working anymore.

Better to just shut it out as you described and use the time to think about that issue you’re having on a personal project or what toy to buy for your cat’s birthday.

Exactly. Do the daily corpo dance and cheer if they babbling about innovation, progress, growth and new products. Do not fight against it. Just take your money and put your valuable time and energy elsewhere.

It just emphasizes what’s already there.

This!

It goes without saying that this would be mandatory: No koalas, without kiwis!

Do you even Arch?

The model itself is probably not censored. The censorship comes on top. Preliminary tests already show how this can be circumvented.

Last week at us.

First question I asked the evil twin was: “How can I deactivate Gemini and never hear from it again?” Support article poped up, where must opt out from some Labs setting or some bs, but only a workspace admin can do it.

Ended up with blocking that flare button with uBo. Problem solved.

Why is AI not making enough money? I specifically requested it.

First thought

Almost exact same timeline, prices and specs here. Just went with the RX6600 instead after hardware became somewhat affordable again after crypto hype and COVID. Always bought the mid-lowend stuff of the then actual hardware, if upgraded wanted/needed. It’s good to read of non-highend stuff all the time though.

NVMe

This part was huge you for me. Almost same as from HDD to SSD.

If you want to stay with Windows for whatever reason, even 11, I can recommend Revision Playbook. It locks your installation and scrapes out the crap like unwanted updates and features like AI bullshit, Edge, Telemetry and whatnot. You can even manually install Apps from the Store without the Store if you like to. Security patches and selective updates come only via manual download from MS catalogue in my case, but you can automate this too with some tools.

This. My mobile is over 6 years old. Security updates till 2022, but I don’t even mind sec updates. What concerns me more is buy-a-new-phone-every-year-because-reasons, because buy new shit and spybloatware. Skynet is the virus. My old one runs perfectly fine and I buy a new one if it is broken. Even critical apps like banking doing fine. It’s not like the whole architecture of the OS changes yearly, right?

I got the Far Cry joke. I’m a nerd.
