OK, so Windows now collects even more data about user behaviour, without notifying the user.

That's what spyware does, right?


Anybody know of a self-hosted RSS reader that can remember different views for different folders?

I'm using Inoreader which does that - I have a folder that is displayed as titles only, and a different one that displays as "cards".

I've tried a few of the more famous self-hosted ones, but none of them have that feature. I know that a keyboard shortcut can be used to change views, but my early-morning doomscrolling brain doesn't want to think about that.


I just installed a copy of 25H2 on a laptop with a previously saved Professional licence.

You can just choose to create a "work or school account" and then leave the domain name empty.


Thanks!

I wonder how much of this is Microsoft trying to create recurring profits from the base (Home) sku, rather than that they care about local-user installations in any other circumstance.


Interesting, will give that a try next time. I guess I never looked because I had assumed that option made you connect to an existing domain.


I've used that workaround on literally dozens of installations in the last few years :)



Yep, thanks for clarifying.

So it's not such a good deal after all and it also means that a lot of regular people won't get those updates (because they either don't know how or can't be bothered to make an account).


And yet, you don't get an Outlook notification if you receive new mail that gets sorted in to a Inbox subfolder.

Because nobody would ever want that.


"Nothing has improved since". That's so funny.


What's the biggest thing that's improved? We have 4x the pixels, so we spend 4x the rendering time to draw everything with 4x as many pixels, when it works, and complain when it doesn't.

Would have been easier to stick with the pixel density we had.

Oh, and we have to wait a frame to see everything because of compositing that I still don't quite understand what it's supposed to do? Something something backing store?


GL-Inet Flint2, maybe?


Just got 2 of these a few days ago and am super happy with them. The firmware it comes with is essentially OpenWRT with a fancier UI so that means that you can use an OpenWRT sysupgrade image to flash it to OpenWRT with no issues. WiFi6 and Hardware Flow Offloading (HFO) are super nice features of this particular router. Downside is that it has 4 1G LAN ports and 2 2.5G (1 WAN, 1 WAN/LAN) ports, so you're kind of stuck with gigabit.


I use a flint2 as the router for my 2Gbs internet connection, a Wireguard VPN server and to provide network connectivity for devices in my garage which is where the router lives.

I use the 2.5Gbs WAN/LAN port to uplink it to a switch in my basement where all my cabling terminates and a small rack lives. This switch then provides a mixture of 2.5, 5 and 10Gbs ports.

The point being that the flint2 doesn’t limit me to 1Gbs.


This is another similar tool:

https://socialfixer.com/

It loads 10 posts at a time and filters out all of the junk. Then you have to manually load more posts.

It's really eye-opening when you load 10 posts and it filters out 9 of them.

But besides that, the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups. It hurts to see the levels people descend to when they can comment without any repercussions.


how someone with a banhammer hanging overhead behaves is nowhere near as valuable an indicator, compared to behaviour when there are no perceived consequences.

[the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups] -- you are seeing what lurks inside, and what degree of personal refraint exists.


actually, on NextDoor, the population is so limited that it's fairly productive to Mute/Block the hateful or dumb people ("excuse me, but please pick up after your dog.")

FB, of course, has billions of users so that doesn't work.


NextDoor where I live is overrun by advertisements for gutters and 1 day shower replacements.

Maybe I live in a boring area?


nextdoor wouldn't even onboard me, i sent a message with details to their team and they said they'd fix it for me... that was like 3 or 4 years ago. I had to define a new neighborhood, so maybe that's why?


Nobody stops anybody from making a antisocial network graph and use a bot to block out the sun..


omfg thank you so much. truly. it works with facebook container tabs too!


You forgot

reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

To enable the classic right-click menu :)


The new menu would actually be quite ok if you could configure what’s on the main menu and what’s on “More”. The old menu has a ton of stuff I never use so in theory it would be nice to push that to a secondary menu. But the UX geniuses have decided it’s better to have random stuff I never use in the shorter first menu and the stuff I really need is on the second. It would be so easy to configure this. What are these geniuses thinking? (I guess they don’t think much….)


And all that without even mentioning that they put cut/copy/paste on top in icon form (afaik).


Putting the things I use the most closest to my mouse. It's great. I spent two seconds figuring out the icons the first time I encountered it and now it's faster for me.


> I spent two seconds figuring out the icons the first time I encountered it and now it's faster for me.

You're definitely sharper than me. I spend 2 seconds every time I encountered it.


It seems that Croatian operators didn't get the memo about the discount.

Here the phones that you can get from your carrier and pay off on a monthly basis often end up costing more than in retail.
