- Comment on How I'd fix Windows as a retired Windows Engineer 6 days ago:
- Use it without OneDrive being bundled
- Use it without a Microsoft account
- Use it without ads
- Use it without Copilot
Yes, I know there are ways around each of these but the settings are all in different places, Microsoft keeps changing where the settings are, resetting to defaults on OS updates, and at least for trying to use it without a Microsoft account, actively closing loopholes for doing so.
- Comment on Why aren't Linux based mobile OSes more popular? 4 weeks ago:
I loved BB10. It had gesture-based navigation years ahead of its time, I had better control over which apps were actually running on my device at a given time, and it could run Android apps alongside BB10-native apps. It helped that I liked the form factor of the devices with physical keyboards, too.
Nowadays you have large, glass rectangles in two sizes: large and extra large, and they come in two flavours: Apple and Android. It’s no coincidence that Android has become more restrictive in terms of control over your own device, as the competition has dwindled and thinned.

I took a commuter train to the big city the other day and I couldn’t believe how many other commuters were scrolling through TikTok with speaker on, or video calling their parents with speaker on. Nobody else wants to hear your shitty music videos.

- Comment on Galaxy S10 til the wheels come off 1 year ago:
Depends on your definition of “better”. Better bitrate and quality? Yes. But that comes at the cost of reduced range (since it’s more dependent on a good connection to the source device).
