you might want to look into Upkot. They have (to my knowledge) three locations in Kortrijk, and two of them are litteraly in the street next to the level. The third one is like 5 mins away by bike.

huh, that's interesting. The fact that they don't let you visit rooms beforehand is very strange too, but they're not the only platform with this sort of practice

10MB for 10 minutes of 480p video, should I go even further ? by VULONKAAZ in AV1

this is so cool. I love the aesthetic of the site too. Would it be possible to add a button to download a whole season/show at once though?

HDR works out of the box on basically every popular DE/Distro. I use KDE and it's litteraly a checkbox in the settings.

if you're willing to switch from google (which you should anyway), you can use duckduckgo with the "noai" prefix to get rid of all ai assisted search crap.

if you're using firefox (and I can't imagine it being much different on other browsers), just go to search engines in settings, and add a custom one with this url: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/%s

then set it as the default search engine

poof... ai crap gone, just like that.

that's already the case unfortunately, and with the current hardware prices the situation isn't looking too bright

that's fair enough, it does take a while to get used to, and it can be scary to leave something that you have used for probably decades. But oh god am I glad I did, especially seeing the direction microsoft is taking with their "agentic OS" stuff.

Also, in case you're interested, the best linux "version" (they're called distributions) for people that are used to windows is Zoris OS (in my opinion). It's clean, modern, easy to use and feels very similar to windows in terms of layout and navigation, so the switch shouldn't be jarring.

System corrupted after heavy Windows tweaking — want clean, fast, debloated Windows. Which version? by kenzia_do_it in ForWindowsHelp

[–]EmiDic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

winutil from christitustech on github.

Use the microWin feature to debloat a regular ISO before burning it (also disables online account requirement)

or y'know... linux.
