Pro tip, tell them you want to end your subscription immediately. Don't say anything, awkward silence. When they ask an another question to goud you into staying repeat the first statement. If they ask rando questions, silence.

They give up in under a minute. Be polite but obstinate.

After the install. Create admin and user accounts not tied to ms. Use the user account normally, and when you need admin you enter the second account details.

Use Sophia script to clean up all the advert apps bundled with win11.

I wish I could find a script to remove the advert features from edge for when I have to office. Mozilla Firefox is your day to day browser.

Use chocolatey.org to install ur apps. When you do updates, one command can do it all.

Check start-up scripts, and ensure there is nothing that doesn't need to be there. Teams no, zoom also no.

This seems similar to an ssh session, but ssh has great authentication and authorization parameters that can be setup. Whereas code.exe is left open.

So why is this getting down voted. Seems like a valid concern.

Nice move there AI. I see what you're doing.

The US vs them sentiment shouldn't exist when it comes to science. Rather, congratulate them and produce a better machine.

China has just as many paradoxes as the US, the good be the bad mentality only fosters the air of war.

I was sick, so I could tolerate the presentation which had high-end effects.

A UAV flys through the desert over the Apple building into the center garden, it approaches Tim Cook standing on à lawn. He starts speaking in his mechanical ceo way. A lot more effects like this.

The watch

  • new processor with cores dedicated to ml. Monitoring your bio markers for finger traps and other gestures. It also processes voice commands so you don't need to be tethered to the internet to figure out what your saying.
  • a fear based marketing, the presentation opens with shiny people who have been assisted by the watches bio monitoring. Heart attack, hypothermia, car accident, etc. Apple watch is always watching you.
  • 18 hrs battery life, so you have to remove it to charge it everyday. So while your sleeping? But put it back on before you wake up so you can snooze by tapping your fingers together. Also if you're likely to have a heart attack at night, wear the watch so it can wake you up.
  • satellite emergency SOS, and road side assist. USA only
  • carbon neutral. Recycled metals,...
  • features you will use everyday (repeat 15x)
  • pro version

The phone

  • recycled metal, carbon neutral, cute scene presenting Apples eco foot print to mother nature played by Octavia Spencer
  • cameras
  • something something USB3, no mention of external displays or using with dock to use as computer
  • easily replaceable back glass
  • a design that makes it easier to repair
  • pro version in titanium

MacBook

  • MacBook Air 15

An impressive presentation. Engineering is amazing. Still, your locked into their walled garden. And they can keep you juiced with dopamine as long as you give them money.

Not GoDaddy.

Other than that, go by price and reputation. The DNS service can be replaced pretty quickly for free if their DNS service is a problem. I usually register on DreamHist.com. Then use the free DNS service on CloudFlare.com
