This is the same false analogy people make as to why Americans drive giant trucks to shift blame... it's not the manufacturers who are pushing these cars to circumvent taxes, it is the users for demanding it.

Very few people actually like these invasive shit Microsoft pulls, but the vast majority either do not know about them, understand them or feel they have another choice. For example, I hate MS, I understand what dog shit this Recall feature is, yet my job will provide a Windows machine with it and I have no choice but to use it.

I am a nerd so at home I do have everything running on Linux. But for the majority of people that would be a unknown option or just an unobtainable one

True, but I don't think Keanu here is giving career advancement advice

This is not a good deal. First of all I highly doubt this mobo and CPU will be Windows 11 compatible so you're out of luck there.

That's a feature lol

For $373 you can find an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and mobo combo deal that will vastly outperform this Chinese CPU

Really? I'm actually asking because I don't think you can get the amd combo you mentioned at that price. Also, we'd need to confirm the specs and performance. So far it would be just speculation

Less than $400 for mobo, cpu and fan is not expensive even if it's a couple of gens behind

Exactly... I have regular buds for running and I hate them because they inevitably shift around a bit and , when I try to get them back in place, they start misinterpreting my touch with whatever touch command they were preprogrammed

These ideas sound nice in the brainstorming room but, in my experience, have rarely panned out in practice

Wow cool, thanks for all the good info

Firedragon for desktop (fork of Floorp) and IceRaven for mobile (fork of Firefox)... Super happy with both

It's called hyperbole

Yeap I'm just saying it's sadly all too common

I'm actually degoogling at the moment precisely because of all this

Sadly, that's what we do with phones, cars, tvs, etc

Yes, that's what MS thinks... Yet that's not the case as I can successfully get the files off SharePoint to my PC and then email them

The issue is MS doing this on its own accord and without proper warning or way to permanently override
