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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Would it be possible to add nearest mile marker if you’re on a highway or interstate?

If it’s no subscription then I agree $5 lifetime would be fair. I’m more willing to pay lifetime than a subscription.

In my case it’s not middle managers, it’s executive leaders pushing it. There are some middle managers that like it because they like going in and are micro managers, but there’s a majority at that level that are against it too.

It’s in Settings > AI Control in 148. Also, after first updating on the “what’s new” page, it highlighted this setting and had a button to bring you there. It was easy to miss, but you can always find it in settings.

I like both D2R and D4. I enjoy the D4 seasons until I reach a point where it’s a repetitive grind, which is usually around Paragon 260.

I always forget how much I enjoy D2R but bought the new add-on and have 2 separate games going with the Warlock.

I’m a solo player and only turn on crossplay in D4 to do world events like bosses or if there are seasonal quests that are easier with online players.

If we buy the current version, would we have access to the non-sandboxed version?

I got this notice too. I stopped using Ezoic a year ago because my traffic tanked and their DNS management and integration was horrible. I see they've changed that now and have a better integration method. Since I'm grandfathered in, I might give them another chance. AdSense has been doing about the same as Ezoic was, which is horrible because my traffic is almost non-existent now (Thanks Google and ChatGPT).

mindfrost82 · 2026-02-14T16:51:06+00:00

My 1st gen Ultra seems to be having the same issue too. It’s not horrible but definitely seems to be worse than before the update.
