Safari has the worst adblock options of the browsers I've tried. So absolute bottom choice from me.

Brave is brought up as an alternative to Firefox but that has the same AI and also crypto on top of it.

If brave is able to have their own adblock integrated into the browser by default despite Google being behind much of Chrome I think Firefox forks should be fine. Sucks everything seems to have AI these days shoved in, so it's hard to escape whether it is Chrome forks or chromium alternatives.

I have one m.2 and multiple sata ssd, since on my motherboard occupying the second m.2 slot would drop the pcie lane for my GPU due to sharing bandwidth.

Do newer boards not have that problem?

It is so bizzare to me why the rest of the world has been so comfortable with meta services and been using their social media for years when they've come across as a company to not trust with that information

But, I'm probably the weird one looking like im putting tinfoil on my windows and head to the average person.

Even when well meaning sometimes malicious code can slip through like with smarttubenext due to a compromised machine.

So I think people forget that just because something is foss doesn't mean it is automatically safe and caution can be thrown to the wind. Skepticism and being overcautious is still good practice before installing things.

I like to wait a while before installing new updates just to see if anything is caught by the community to try to reduce potential risk.

First half was fantastic, but then once the vampire stuff went into full gear it ended up losing much of the initial tone that hooked me in the first half.

You wouldn't know them. They go to a different school.

Dualboot might work better with ltsc iot version of windows, which even if you only use Windows you should be opting for anyways over the copilot and account requirement forcing consumer version of Windows that pushes out unstable new features people don't want to try to boost their stock by showing increased use of AI.

Work is one area I wouldn't care what OS is used. Since I don't consider anything there to be private and its not my hardware at the end of the day.

Yeah I went from cast iron to carbon steel. So easy to clean and non stick. Seasoning it was so easy. All I did was cook onions and garlic with oil a few times.

I'm that perfect person.

Looking at all the new features and how none of them have appealed to me with it being different attempts at forcing copilot I think the only happy Windows users are ltsc ones. Closest experience to a dumb OS that doesn't change and just installs and runs the programs you install and came with minimal bloatware compared to new regular Windows.
