Bloated POS software. Kill it off.

It's no wonder all my feeds are red. The internet is becoming so restricted! It's really sad.

I am using the AdGuard for Windows method. Everything is filtered at network level using a local proxy. I don't need to waste my time anymore worrying about which browser ruins their extension API by following Google's nonsense.

They are fixing all that with Windows K2 update.

Have you used a Windows ARM device within the last four years? The battery life is amazing!

I don't buy MacBooks because I hate macOS. Horrible window management and software support.

This is a long-standing issue that has persisted for years.

It is surprising that such a large number of people continue to fall victim to fraud at the cinema. High-quality televisions and sound systems are now available at a reasonable price. It has been 12 years since I last attended a movie screening. All content will be available on-demand within a month of the theatrical release. Popcorn maker at home and drinks.

Do people really care if someone looks at their phone like that? Especially when the apps themselves spy on everything you do?

I no longer feel obligated to apologize for holding on to older devices for a long time. I have several desktops and laptops that are all still usable.

Stylus is a good alternative to Stylish. I keep my extensions to a minimum, and I turn off the ones I don't need until I need to use them. The only extensions I have turned on all the time are uBlock, Humble New Tab Page, and Stylus.

Most of all, first-party apps from Microsoft have been ruined by them. Use alternatives when possible.

Websites like this are exactly the reason why I use RSS, and it looks like email clients. The web page is overly complex and requires excessive scrolling.

Windows 11 isn't terrible, as long as you go back to how it was in Windows 10. Disable everything introduced in 11.
