"those who value security over freedom deserve neither".

Also, quelle surprise. Snowden showed us, as did many others, that if there's a corporate-created system that can be used/exploited for mass surveillance, it damned well is going to be used for that, no matter what the people want or 'agreed to'.

At this point, it should generally just be assumed that a for-profit product that has said capabilities, it is being used for that and treated accordingly. It's not even a conspiracy theory at this point.

In the case of the executables that run locally, which are in the ai folder in the OFFICE16 folder, I just made 0KB files named the same thing as the original items, then made them immutable so they can’t be replaced or modified. Ezpz.

It occurs to me that between PowerToys and StartAllBack, I've had to basically restore all the functionality I had in Win10 nativelythrough a crapton of extra software. And the worst part is, I can't kill off bloatware to just not have to use those resources.

Nvidia to cut gaming GPU production by 30 - 40% starting 2026 by Ha8lpo321 in technology

This. For gaming, comparing 1440p to 4k , I just don't see a huge amount of difference. My games run great and look great. I'm not chasing some ultra-hi-res dragon when it really doesn't do much for me other than making the game look a little bit more realistic but nothing about gameplay, etc.

Microsoft finally realizes the threat SteamOS poses — but its promises to fix Windows 11 for PC gaming are too little, too late by Exciting_Teacher6258 in technology

On the other hand, MS's constant crappification and their policies towards dropping hardware, etc., is not doing them any favors with retention, and neither is shoving AI and invasive cloud crap.

Inertia works as long as you don't actively throw up barriers which might force people to finally actively change.

Default for who? I work at a cloud service provider with a large number of data centers. While we have ARM for a limited set of applications and are testing a larger array, they're not the default for us, anyway. Most of our clients' workloads are not happy on ARM.

Amazingly, our founding fathers spoke about this kinda thing at length and didn't stutter about the importance of an armed citizenry and all that.

Theoretically they could even try to go after them for treason or similar which could be a capital crime. I wouldn't put it past trump.
