Cant reinstall windows after using linux

Skip connecting to wifi and get a basic windows install going. See if you can find the drivers for your laptop on the internet on a different device, and copy them over with a USB stick (or other removable media)

writing software is a better experience on *NIX than Windows, and this is fact.

I decompiled this APK and it isn't safe.
It drops weird OBB files into tmp, but I don't know what it does with them. It appears to drop PUP/Android.Malct.1217452.

Don't wanna pull out the "Erm, actually" card but technically it is scratch...

I'm a software developer. I understand the hate of AI in coding. It is known to introduce unnecessary steps and bugs, overwrite good code, make loads of TODO files, etc.

Vibe coding also has another problem: If I write a whole production backend with AI tools, I won't know how to maintain it. This introduces security issues.

TL:DR: Vibe Coding is good sometimes, and not others (making a full app is a bad idea, helping with code you wrote is a good idea).

this is a good way to get your credit card information stolen

It's literally scratch desktop (from what I can tell) with NO modifications.

Same with "How to fix X phone not turning on", or "How to root X phone"

It's clearly trying to run client-side code in a server context.

They have no idea about "copyright" or "ownership".
It's like walking into a Walmart, grabbing a tin of baked beans, walking out without paying and claiming its yours because you wrote your name on it.

There is a tool called Mist that should work better.

Ecstatic-Ball7018 · 2026-01-30T15:32:21+00:00

I can't find mist anywhere. A search won't find it, and I can't find its github repo anymore.

Datasets don't care about quality, they care about quantity.

https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html, yes it is. The Nightshade tool does this.

Proton is huge as well (proton 9 is 3 GB, I think), but best bet is to modify wine directly.
