This is the GOAT ๐Ÿ

Certainly YMMV. I have an HP 8720 and it works wirelessly perfectly, Windows finds it and installs it automatically. Including the scanner. Even works from my wife's Chromebook. I can print from my Android phone without any issue.

I do pay for the HP ink subscription, but it's only 99p per month, and that's 15 pages with rollover and that suits our need 99% of the time.

This seems a bit fishy to me, I don't buy it.

I reckon the couple had done something stupid in the car like drive it through a ~~fjord~~ ford that was deeper than they thought, or through a flooded section of road and actually did submerge the battery. Multiple times.

Then went to dinner. And the car had enough.

They get the scary quote, then decide to omit the majority of the day's activities when complaining to the local newspaper in order to shame Tesla/Elon to pay up.

I had reliability issues with PiHole and moved to AdGuardHome a couple of years ago. It has never, ever crashed and the updates takes a couple of seconds. It rocks.

Have to disagree as I've tried pretty much all of them. The most popular "tiny10" and "tiny11" by NetDev (not mentioned above) is actually a bit of an arse with stuff broken. Same with the others. You shouldn't need to skim through a Telegram group to figure out how you create a new user account... (Amolierated, I'm looking at you).

However, the one where it all just works is Ghost Spectre Superlite (Windows 11 version, though I'm sure the 10 version is similar). It is proper clever with its app that allows you to add the features you need and install the updates you want, or not if you prefer. They released a tweak to get CoPilot working too which just worked. And all in a tiny image with neat tweaks plus all the bloat gone. And the only one where my laptop instantly resumes and works perfectly with Modern Sleep.

Even has an extended WinPE boot environment with extra apps for hard drive partitioning, data recovery, etc. Worth a look.

Install as "English (World)" and all adverts and additional software is missed, as it doesn't know your region, therefore doesn't know what to serve.

If you need the Windows Store, you can change the region post install, and it'll remain clean and the store will then populate.
