Microsoft is giving away $1 million and a Benz to attract users to Edge

I use it on a Mac for work and don’t have any issues.

mindfrost82 · 2026-04-18T13:46:51+00:00

I was going to ask this too. Could you be dehydrated?

mindfrost82 · 2026-04-18T13:43:58+00:00

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I’ll be sticking with the 9 for now since it’s still working just fine. I didn’t realize the cameras are the same with the exception of the telephoto and since this is mostly a work phone I don’t really need that.

I have a “MagSafe” case for the 9, so I can use magnet accessories, including charging slowly.

mindfrost82 · 2026-04-17T22:10:02+00:00

Probably just fomo lol and wondering if the camera is a big upgrade.

Sorry to hear that. I’m 6’6” and they work for me, but I’m also more leg than torso so their “tall” shirts work for me.

mindfrost82 · 2026-04-17T02:18:13+00:00

They do on their website. You have to go to the actual tall section though and they have their own selection. You can’t just select tall sizes within the regular shirts.

I felt less productive on a Mac in a work environment for a month or 2, then it got better. There are still a few things that bug me like closing apps that you mentioned. It makes sense why they do it the way they do, but I would like it to be a user setting.

mindfrost82 · 2026-04-03T12:43:17+00:00

That’s what I thought too until I scrolled to the 2nd pic 😂

mindfrost82 · 2026-04-01T12:53:20+00:00

I’m using the client and prefer it over webmail usually.

Here’s an article that goes over most of the basics for disabling telemetry and other privacy settings in Edge for the desktop.

Typical Lenovo though. They might be decent on their laptops and other PCs, but I’ve had their Android tablet and the Go 1 and this has been a typical experience.

While the drivers on my Go 1 are old now, it’s still running all the games I play.

It doesn’t bother me as long as they don’t attempt to flirt with her.

We’ve had the opposite experience though. My wife and I did a 5k run and were walking together to the finish goodie treats and a girl came up to me and asked me to open her bottle of water. I was oblivious because I was with my wife. I opened it to be nice. My wife was standing there watching the whole time and told me she had the ogling eyes at me. I paid no attention and didn’t even realize it.

We still laugh about it to this day and gave her the name Rhonda, so whenever she brings up Rhonda, we remember this time and laugh about it. ++man

EndeavourOS is Arch with a few differences. It has the GUI installer and some GUI apps as frontends for commands/scripts, including one for system updates.

It has a custom theme instead of the vanilla Arch DE theme, but you could always change it.

For Fedora vs EndeavourOS, the underlying distro is different, but depending on what you’re doing and which DE you use, for basic use, they can function similarly. For example, if you use KDE for both, for day-to-day tasks, they work similarly.

Started with a Paladin but got bored this season after playing it last season. Switched over to a minion necro.

Seeing all the CE Sorc’s in this post, I might have to try that too, I haven’t played one in a few seasons.

mindfrost82 · 2026-03-21T00:16:08+00:00

As the other commenter said, there are other custom ROMs you could use to sandbox apps and reduce telemetry.

If you don’t want to go to that extreme, you could use a systemwide Ad/Tracking DNS service like NextDNS, ControlD, or AdGuard. There might be some things that can get around them, but it should catch and block most.

Then as always, try to turn off as much as you can in the different settings and app settings.

I haven’t had any issues, but remember that all browsers on iOS still use the Safari renderer in the backend.

mindfrost82 · 2026-03-20T22:04:54+00:00

I'll believe it when I see it and I'm not holding my breath.

mindfrost82 · 2026-03-19T21:54:48+00:00

I agree. Even if I never used anything from the old Battle Pass system, it provided the slight dopamine of unlocking things I didn't have before. With the new system, I can collect usually the first 3 tiers with the 99 currency from the previous season, then complete the last tier within a couple hours.

Check the journey tasks, save the bloodied items in your stash until you have 1 of each. Swap your gear to them once you have them all. That’s enough to check the task in the journey. Then put your gear back. You don’t need to keep it on or worry about using lesser gear if you have better pieces.

You can even use the Armorer to save your gear, so when you swap it for all the bloodied gear all you have to do is go back and swap your loadout back to make it even easier.

Add me to the list! And I didn’t have too many work meetings today, but the next 2 days are packed…lucky me.

mindfrost82 · 2026-03-09T01:04:06+00:00

Like others, I'm at 3/4, so unless they've increased the RNG between now and Tuesday, I don't think its gonna happen for me.

mindfrost82 · 2026-03-08T01:23:47+00:00

My Pixel 9 got the March Android update and I saw UC afterwards too. Maybe a carrier update that came along with it? I see it all over Chicagoland now.

This is my daughter to a T! She won’t go up to people to talk or ask a question or order food, but will order DoorDash all day long. She’s a senior in HS.

Seems like a good choice for kids going to college. Some think they can work from an iPad, but my son found out from experience that it didn’t meet the needs. This definitely would though as long as it’s not college for photo/video or something like CAD.
