  • AFAIK, blue screen doesn’t mean kernel crash. Hell, windows crashing isn’t even rare.

    Certification doesn’t mean it has Microsoft seal of approval either, only that it comes from a certified and approved vendor, with some checks at best.

    Config files are not part of the driver, ever. How do you think you can change the settings of you GPU without asking Microsoft?

    But hey, if you are so willing to blame Microsoft for the one time it’s not their fault, may I talk to you about our Lord Savior Linux? In my office we only knew because of the memes.


  • Not sure if somebody mentioned, but you can export to one drive. So you can get a 1TB account for a free trial or for a single month and export everything there as simple files, no large zips. Then with the app download to the computer and then cancel one drive.

    Pretend to be in California/EU and then ask full removal of all your data on both Microsoft and google




  • Google s is the largest, but not the only one. Amazon, Samsung and some OEMs have their own app stores too.

    There are alson sites that archive and distribute apks, like Apkmirror.

    I have a tablet logged to nothing (as in no account, not the OEM) and all my apps come from fdroid, obtanium or apkmirror.

    It started as an experiment, and honestly it’s (for me) not a big hurdle, but an app store would make things easier, that’s for sure.


  • I had been using Linux for home and work for the past 10 years, dual booting for games mostly (do basically only to use steam).

    Recently I had to change jobs and was given a windows laptop. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the candy crush ad is still present on corporate devices. In a $3500 workstation from a fortune 50. What the hell.

    I managed to get a Mac instead. IT is still laughing about me for asking Linux instead
