i just set up virtualbox so i could install windows on it and use some simulation programs i need for school projects. what an unbelievable fight it was. first i can't download the .iso file because their website blocks me. fortunately i found an old w10 iso file on my external. got pissed when i realized i need to use edge to download firefox. takes like 2 hours to get everything adjusted the way i like and all crap out of my way. get MAS, damn thing killed windows boot somehow. start all over again. same thing again, only then i realized it was the activation that kills it. guess i have to use light mode. oh and setting up onedrive and office apps is a whole story for another day.

edit: it wasn't MAS, it was just failed windows updates. booted up with low resolution enabled from safemode settings in repair menu...

yes, every damn website. changing server to another country may help. i noticed ireland is pretty immune to this but that server is down quite often.

my fear is that openai is analyzing everything you do on the phone, not so much the chatbot. but then again i bet apple and google are already doing exactly that. all the forced AI stuff just irritates me like hell. and i live in EU area so sideloading is possible. i haven't looked much into how much open source apps are available though.

one got confused and stopped in an intersection, then decided to perform system updates and got stuck in a bootloop. the rest are behind it.

well yeah but i have to admit, the pink color is awesome. if it didn't have to get that damn chatgpt integration, i would ditch android. been on the edge for a while.

why would eu even care about them

i don't use brave but i tried it once when i learned that it's open source. google was not the default search and telemetry was off by default. also i don't think it auto updates on linux because updates are handled by system updater.

i wish i knew about graphene when i got a pixel 6 pro. i got rid of it only after a year because it was such a buggy POS.
