It's better to use Chris Titus's winutil. It's better at debloating and removing telemetry without breaking so much stuff. It also includes minwin, which allows you to debloat Windows .iso files before you even install it, and does stuff like allowing you to use a local account, etc.
It's not actually true to say that people drank less before prohibition, whiskey was one of the first things the federal government tried to tax, it was extremely popular, both sides of the civil war drank TONS of what were then called "ardent spirits," aka distilled spirits/liquor. Records aren't great going that far back, but based on what we do know, alcoholism was actually MORE of an issue then than now. There were lots of traditions built around beer and cider that were mostly 3% or less, and some did keep those traditions unchanged, but it was also common to keep those traditions but drink whiskey or rum instead of 2% beer, and it became a really widespread serious problem.
hey man. I'm kinda new to the channel. I started watching your videos because I wanted to be good at Linux. If you don't mind asking, dude... what are you??? I mean, you seem like a guy with a shit-ton of knowledge. Right now, I don't know where the heck I'm going with my life. I just know that I like IT and I want to be someone like you. The field that caught my attention the most is penetration testing so idk. Maybe I'll spend the next months and years trying to learn as much as I can about it. I don't even know what I'm trying to say or share here lmao Respect bro 💪
Regarding prohibition in the 20s, while I agree that there are much better ways to deal with harmful drugs, saying "we know for a fact that prohibition of these substances doesn't work"... really makes it sound like you don't understand the key factors for WHY the prohibition amendment and Volstead act failed so spectacularly. Much of what we now call bootlegging wasn't alcohol that was smuggled in, but alcohol that people made and then sold or shared locally. Like, there was literally grape concentrate legally sold with warnings like "Make sure you DON'T mix with exactly this much water and leave in a cool dark place for exactly this amount of time, or it will turn into wine." And even that wasn't necessary for a lot of people, because most cultures (another relevant factor in the prohibition amendment) had a tradition around making alcohol, so it wasn't as if they needed to get that newly illegal equipment or knowledge, they had it already. People tend to follow laws for two reasons: they believe it to be moral and good, or it's being well enforced and they want to avoid legal punishment. During most of prohibition, neither of these was the case for most Americans. Today, these factors apply pretty well to things like Marijuana, but not at all to a number of other illegal substances. There are not, to the best of my knowledge, communities or cultures making a moral defense of something like heroine, or with a tradition of creating it as a normal cultural thing. TLDR, there are LOTS of reasons why the prohibition of alcohol failed that are completely irrelevant to many prohibited substances today, and suggesting that they're similar in this regard kind of sounds ignorant of the history in question.
Students don't need to go to school they can be -indoctrinated- educated online. We should all get free money from government and sit at home! Vote for free money!
If it's illegal to record someone without their knowledge, how is it okay to have a program like this screenshot text conversations between the user and those who don't understand that their conversations are being recorded?
I propose a compromise - if a video is 2min or less, No Ads. Anything over 2min = ads. This way the memers keep doing their thing and bringing traffic to the site without pissing off everyone. Like I said it's just a proposal.
People care about spyware but what can they do? There isn't a real good alternative is there? Apple which is as bad. Linux which is still not as user friendly and can't work with most used software. We're stuck and MS knows it. The advantage of a monopoly position.
Not only Dell. Many others (even Google) are doing the same it's just not so blatant and obvious. They are pushing remote workers to go back to the office via office-only events, passing promotions, saying that "you have to be seen to be remembered" and even firing people who refuse even if there's no advantage whatsoever, for anyone, to do that.
if youtube does somehow succeed in this uphill battle, ill probably just stop using it entirely although they probably (definitely) wont in the end without making it literally illegal
My Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 laptop (December 2023) had Bitlocker turned on after the Windows 11 setup finished. I noted it when I made a Macrium Reflect image of the SSD. Which quickly let me boot Windows again and turn it off.
So many bad features have been added to Windows that makes it easier for people to get hacked lol First one comes to mind is Notifications. Ever since they added that, people have been hijacking it and making popups show up claiming they're hacked or their antivirus is expired ffs.
Lucky im on my tablet and wont ever have to deal with this nonsense war (and yes i dont have ads or even Sponsors here, while not having yt premium(they dont even have what i have for free))
Brilliant! Thank you for highlighting this! I have one windows holdout on a laptop that's running sample triggering and lighting for theater. I *should* be running it in a VM... that's like #71 on the list! 😅
I see this is reasonable. A very intrusive antivirus software with deepest access, by a company based in country ruled by an anti-US dictatorships, with no checks and balance. Lol, even a regular person like me would be nervous. I'm chinese, and I wouldn't trust tiktok with a 10 ft pole either since the Xi has the same level of control. The US is not perfect either, but regular people do win against government in court routinely. I trust it far more than anything based in Russia or China.
