Drain wasn’t terrible for me, and live location is miles better than maps. But yeah, ditched because of thier bad rep.

Yup, just switched to this. It’s not quite as live as I was used to with life360, but it works for what we need.
My wife and I share our locations with each other and I also have my elderly inlaws configured as well. Never hurts to be safe!
Doesn’t that require other IPhones for it to ping off of and report? What if she’s in the middle of nowhere. I’m not sure why this is getting upvotes but it seems like a terrible idea and unreliable.
Sadly doesn’t appear to be usable for SMS by Google Fi users who have web sync enabled. Guess I’ll be holding off.
I just built a 13700k system for a lab box. My plan all along was undervolt (stable .130 undervolt) and limit max PL2 to 175w. I probably get 85% or better of listed performance and it runs a cool 60° even under max load, which I will frequently run for 24h at a time. For me, cool and stable was always the goal, sounds like this is just bearing out my decision.
Note, I would have gone AMD, but I needed quicksync for Plex.

You’ve won! Thank you for changing my mind.
Just use the classic control panel if that’s the case. It’s still there. You’d probably still recognize parts of it from Windows 3.1.1.
Hey, no skin off my back and you don’t know me from Adam. Could be lying for all you know.
Some of these changes may not stick, but UI / UX is always evolving to the next thing. You have to try things to know if they are successful. I’ll use the new Apple Vision Pro as a example. Apple is taking a gamble here and this is a HUGE change in UI interactions, can you imagine if they never evolved past the old iPod scroll wheel? (maybe a bad example becuaee that was a great tactile user experience). But my point is people have evolved how they use technology, it’s “generally” more reliable and the under the hood stuff can be tucked away for the general user.
So I don’t want this to come off as rude, but if you are using the pro version with proper workstation controls all of this is controllable. I work as a L5 engineer for the world’s largest outsourcing IT provider and we don’t have a single customer (from ITAR, HIPAA, Financial, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical etc) that has been unable to move because of compliance. Some take longer to harden and move but it’s 100% possible. MS knows their audience in this space and wouldn’t release and OS that wasn’t possible to comply. (for the MOST part, obviously things like EU antitrust has made them change some things in the past).
Self hosted searxng is where it’s at. Seriously love it and have replaced my search engines on all my computers and phone.
I use this along with Vivaldi browser that will let me switch engines quickly with “search shortcuts” for those few times I need local Google results.
I mean, read your comment,
Yeah I do update them weekly almost, every time I do yay there’s a new driver version, it updates and it works. No major issues besides the explicit sync but that’s being fixed soon and I installed a patch so yeah.
then read this:
It’s literally comical. That’s how your comment sounds to my wife. (She’s smart, but she’s not computer savvy)
I think we just need to agree Linux is fine for power users, but Windows is kinda always going to be for the masses and arguing against that is kind of a moo point because it’s just facts that Windows (~70%) > Linux (~4%) in OS market share. It’s also facts that you can strip out almost anything out of Windows and make it work, but that’s not a “for the masses” move either. So arguing that Linux is a better move than Windows because “muh customization” is again, a moo point for like 90% of people.
Edit: Changed moot to moo because it’s more comical that way.
I don’t disagree and I’m glad you aren’t making the “it would be easier in Linux” argument.
What I do think the changes are there to encourage access to BASIC functionality for the majority of users, but it does come across as dumbing down to folks that are power users. I really do think this is a case of “what would 90% of the population use” kinda thing.
Cheers mate!
Recommended space isn’t for ads, it’s for newly installed programs. It might show some icons there like Spotify when the OS is installed, but once you remove them they are gone. New “ads” don’t show up later.
If you want less space dedicated to recently installed (recommendations) change the start menu density to “More Pins”
It’s just a different way of doing / labeling. Old start menu had “recently installed” this is the same as “recommend”
Edit: I’ll make an admission here, it looks like I had the “Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more” turned off. But as a point of fact, I did that inadvertently as part of my normal debloat process.
Edit 2: Seems there is a local / group policy setting to remove the recommendation section completely if that’s your jam. I personally prefer to see my new apps there for a bit.
Edit 3: I feel like your comment about working against the system is even more comical considers you are talking about Linux. Ever tried to get nvidia drivers working on Linux? Ever tried updating once they were working? Linux is litterally the poster child of working against the system. If you don’t like how it’s setup out of the box, sure it’s changeable, but how long did you work on the changes to get it flawless. I would wager there is jank you have just decided to put up with because after a week you said “good enough”. There is a reason 90% of my Linux systems don’t even run a GUI.
Ah yes, the “not easily done” crowd saying “just move to Linux”. Lot easier to remove those items than for most folks to learn a whole new platform.
Me thinks Lemmy isn’t great at representing the larger world. Lots of tech folks here.
