I agree, that has happened with other windows devices I've used recently (both w10 and 11), although this was completely reset, no data other than a chrome sign-in and a few games, this had also been the first time I opened edge, so I'm pretty confused how an opt in feature just magically stops requiring consent from the user...

Not to mention, it has an in-depth facial recognition network, collects literally everything about you to sell to the highest bidder and makes it difficult to switch to more private platforms

I went to the widgets pane on my w11 laptop once, clicked an article and to my horror, all of my data had been synced from chrome to edge, including passwords, history, open tabs, extensions, pretty much everything.

I even went as far as to report it to the ACCC (the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) since I've never seen it from other browsers, and that I found it pervy the fact they did it without consent, although I doubt the ACCC would be enough to change this shitty practice, and others like it.

They're not even trying to trick the user anymore, they're forcing them.

jesus, and i thought my dual laptop setup was crazy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

not sure where my setup stands, i got my ipad in portrait, in the centre of the desk on a stand, with two 14 inch laptops on either side, one phone on the left side of the left laptop, another phone either wedged between the two laptops, or inconveniently chucked in the middle of the giant mousepad.

im thinking somewhere chaotic

Good idea, although I don't have my own house yet since I'm still a teen, and absolutely nobody would trust me to implement PiHole on our router lmao

At least 8 is better than 4

I retired my 4gb/120gb/celeron ThinkPad 11e today, since I've got a more powerful laptop lying around and I've used it for 8 years nonstop. It used to freeze up occasionally when there were more than 4 Firefox tabs open, and not to mention, my obsession with GNOME causing a shortage of system resources.

Man that ThinkPad felt like family, I'm gonna miss using it.
