In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the โ€œbypassnroโ€ command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.

I donโ€™t know if someone already knew, but I didnโ€™t. I ordered a couple of shoes, and when I received the shipping information email, I read the courier name was Amazon shipping. Donโ€™t know if it depends on the country too, Iโ€™m from Italy. Anyway, really unfortunate.

Hi everyone, ive seen this giant painting in Florida and would like to have a painting with the same vibe/image type. Doesnt have to be an obscenely expensive original painting but a copy on linen print is just fine for me. Dimensions roughly 1.5m wide. Looking only for EU sellers, please. Thank you!

Recently found this while looking for a decent cloud provider to get away one drive. The monthy price varies for people with share in nubo and the ones that don't have the shares. Usually the price starts from 3,5 โ‚ฌ for 5 gigs. This can be used as a alternative to google's gmail and drive.

Today I dumped the Chrome OS on my laptop and switched to Linux Mint using these guides:

  1. Install Windows 11 (Or Any OS) on a Chromebook (Updated Guide) - https://youtu.be/wwE7UlWbJHE

  2. Chromebook Support List (Developer Information): https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows.html

  3. How to Disable Hardware Write Protect by Device: https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/supported-devices.html

  4. Linux Mint installation instructions - https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

It wasn't as hard as I first assumed so if you don't want or if you're unable to dump your Chromebook for a new laptop, you might want to consider this alternative.

A few disclamers:

  • Certain models can't do this. Check the website mentioned in the video for that. Make sure your Chromebook model allows for this

  • If you're not careful, there's a chance you brick your laptop. Make sure you watch the whole video and read the guides in the description and on the Linux page

  • There's a chance your internal speakers won't work after this. Make sure to check if the fixes presented on mrchromebox' website would work for you if you need them. Alternatively you can use headphones or external speakers.

  • You're going to need 2 USBs. One that contains Linux and another one to backup your Chrome OS if you mess up.

EDIT: Added all the links. EDIT2: Added another disclaimer about the audio.

I am really fed up with WhatsApp (closed source, jurisdiction that may impose backdoors soon)

I would even try to convince friends and family to move to something else but to what?

Signal so far has been the obvious choice but the fear that they may impose backdoors becomes more and more concrete.

Threema seems great! But they want 3โ‚ฌ and there is no chance in hell that my friends and family would pay it.

I saw a bunch of options on https://european-alternatives.eu/category/instant-messaging-apps but I would like to gather experiences and opinions

AltStore is an alternative app store that allows EU users to install apps from different sources. It is opensource.

The privacy policy indicates it's main office is in the US

AltStore, LLC.
4130 BOWSER AVE.
DALLAS, TX 75219
UNITED STATES

However, I consider it to be a good first step away from the AppStore because it's opensource. Others are very welcome to suggest real EU alternative app store for the iPhone.
