  • Each to their own preferences. Some of these sources disagree with each other, and that’s a good thing. The worst place to belong, is within an echo chamber. Always think for yourself, and try to understand where others are coming from (why they came to the conclusions they did).

    As for Louis… honestly, I prefer his tempo. It feels more genuine, less like he’s putting on a show for the camera. In the tech world, take Craft Computing, LTT, or Jays2Cents as examples. All have gone on record to admitting to putting on a show, changing how they talk, etc, while on camera. If Louis is putting on a show, I gotta admit, I’m impressed. Hats off to the guy.




  • I heard about this several years back, and lost all hype when I heard its based on Fallout 4. Now after seeing this… alright, I’m on board. Just… please… let me shoot a certain PM, responsible for Brexit. Give him the Gary treatment, so I can do it over, and over, and over, again… oh god, he’ll be one of the faction leaders, won’t he? The Nat-C (National Conservatives) party will be the radroaches of the game.



  • Some people like to rag onto Canonicals bad decisions. These include:

    1. Putting ads in the terminal
    2. Use of Affiliate links in the DE
    3. The forceful use of Snap
    4. The proprietary Snap infrastructure
    5. The feeling of being abandoned, in favour of the server market (lack of desktop innovation)
    6. Lens search, that allows company (eg: Amazon) tracking.
    7. Anti-privacy settings enabled, by default.

  • It applies to most business.

    1. You give a positive face to the market you’re in (Game Pass, Phil Spencer, pro-dev vibe, etc).
    2. You buy chunks of the market (Activ-Bliz-King is a massive chunk), while saying it’s good for the industry.
    3. You squeeze the company of its IP, while bleeding the market dry of money. All of which kills, or at least hurts that market.

    Right now, Micro$oft is in the Extend phase.

    Adguard Home. I find it to be more feature complete, compared to Pi-Hole. Nicer GUI, more options, built in DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS, better client controls & detection, more domain information, better domain list blocking, and so on.

    I moved from NextDNS, to Adguard Home. All self hosted, and accessed with a reverse proxy.


  • Did you get this sorted? I know the following works on 11, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it worked on 10.

    First unplug the Ethernet cable, and when it asks for WiFi, press “Shift + F10”. In the opened command prompt type “OOBE\BYPASSNRO”. This will make the installer go to the legacy OOBE (Out Of Box Experience). Finish setup, before finally connecting to the internet. Don’t worry you’re not doing anything dangerous. It’s a simple registry edit.
