  1. Complete madness πŸ₯΄, the telemetry evolution during the last 10 years, combined with the evolution of blindness \ acceptance from users regarding privacy plundering. And what we see taking place now in win, apple, android may be just a humble beginning ! So happy to be in a position to live well with 10 ltsc (O&O + some firewall), OS complete radio silence at boot, and stays that way until I myself choose to do something.
  2. Anyone experienced the fast health % loss hitting some models ? Numbers only while the drive is actually fine ? My 980 (pcie 3) holding up well. Magician recently offered a firmware update, maybe adressing some hidden bugs.
  3. For all the world's 3 users of 5540, starting this topic in case someone someday got something to write :O) In my case, excellent & solid machine. SH 2020 model at a good price. 2 years in my use with no problems (apart from a tired battery. Ref. my earlier posts, use only original Dell !). Edit: 3 years 3 months in use, still a very satisfying, stable, solid machine. One thing I'd one day look into, boot time (on > bios > bitlocker pw > desktop) somewhat slower than expected (but does not really matter, am generally hibernating = quick off\on). Keyboard is fine, apart from strong light bleed in front of keys when not viewed from optimal position. Superb 500+ nits matte display (main reason for buying) perfect for my image editing work. Machine fast enough for anything I do or plan doing. Tends to get quite hot when cpu\gpu stressed, but minimal heat and completely silent under all my normal\daily use. i7-9850H Sharp SHP16BA display Samsung 980 1TB, Seagate 1TB W10 LTSC + O&O ShutUp
  4. Running this (good) place on the Invision platform surely costs quite some $'s. Been looking around, can't find any Paypal link.
  5. A few weeks passed: bank accounts not emptied, websites does not display upside-down and filled with p**n ads, drives not encrypted by ransomware, email not hacked etc. So, 8.1 is safe and well πŸ˜€! btw, Defender still getting regular updates, all that's needed. Otherwise, I'd install some other av.
  6. Some more relaxing music for early mornings :O) Before The Dawn - Deadlight
  7. 8 perfect years with 8.1 on a Dell Latitude E7440 (perfect as well, refuses to die). Open Shell & removal of useless apps. Still my daily laptop for email, browsing, youtube, music stream, basic image editing etc. Original os install 02.2015 (+ updates) still running flawlessly, never seen a bluescreen or any other problem (...apart from my own doing, always fixed with Reflect images). Only bad experience came from the period when MS was hammering in their "update to 10" attacks, but that plague was not the OS's fault. What a great OS (8.1) this is (was). It's W7 MK2 imo. Will keep it on the Latitude for the time being. Edit: forgot to mention original 8, what a disgusting, ridiculous contraption (the user interface, the os behind was probably ok). From systeminfo:
  8. https://isofiles.bd581e55.workers.dev/Windows 10/ and all the rest :O) https://isofiles.bd581e55.workers.dev/ Unmodified & safe > in my experience.
  9. Something completely different... Denez Prigent - Gwerz Kiev
  10. IMO one comes a long way (on any phone\brand\android version\OS flavor) by just using these 2: https://adbappcontrol.com/ to uninstall\disable anything one does not want\use\like. https://netguard.me/ to control all app's data activity. Navigation\driving alternative to Google, am using https://wego.here.com If one wishes, becomes just a GPS > all needed maps downloaded to phone, data off (or netguard killing eventual connection attempts).
  11. Just to mention those superb programs (sorry, "apps"). Been using them for years, troublefree. App disable, uninstall, save snapshots (presets) of phone's current app state (uninstalled, active, disabled), uninstalling any app has option to save it to pc for later direct reinstallation, lots more. Goobye to cumbersome command line adb. https://adbappcontrol.com/en/ Netguard, stop \ allow all \ any app (system & user) from wifi \ cellular data activity. Toggle \ set permissions according to one's exact needs > zero data behind one's back, https://netguard.me/ ps, if you like\use them, donate to the deserving developpers.
  12. Musk's deranged conception of 'free speach' in action, probably views & beliefs he more or less adheres to personally, thus allowing back anything and everything. (Pick English in translation menu) https://www-lemonde-fr.translate.goog/les-decodeurs/article/2022/12/09/complotistes-homophobes-neonazis-dix-comptes-emblematiques-de-la-derive-de-twitter-sous-elon-musk_6153754_4355770.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=fr&_x_tr_hl=fr&_x_tr_pto=wapp
  13. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜πŸ˜… musk must be sooooo happy and satisfied having had the idea of buying twitter 🀯 πŸ€• https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/139993/data-breach/twitter-400-million-users-leak.html
  14. Installed 10 ltsc on a 10y old HP desktop (was saved from the trash, initially w8), works great. Everything smooth, light and fast. A few, minimal tweaks + O&O shutup, ready. The perfect OS for older hardware. Edit: testing 2021 IOT, so far did not discover anything special, behaved exactly like the non-iot (activation, ram, disk, user experience, updates, speed etc). Apart from longer lifecycle & security-only updates, are there any useful gains in using IOT (that I missed) ?
  15. πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ "58 percent say the world’s no-longer-richest man should quit his job running Twitter" https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/18/23515764/elon-musk-head-twit-poll-tesla-doxxing-moderation
  16. Just read this, please check if correct, but even if only 1\2 of that = ridiculous disaster: "Tesla stocks has lost nearly 47% since Elon Musk unveiled his intentions to acquire the social network" 47% or so probably right: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-lost-almost-700-billion-121558314.html
  17. "Have you gone to your notifications tab on Twitter, only to see nothing there?" https://gizmodo.com/twitter-down-notifications-breaking-elon-musk-layoffs-1849856992
