That’s increasingly difficult to do.

Android has been doing shit like this for years. It’s a marketing tool more than anything. But there’s a weird tribalism around Android so everyone just forgives it. But when windows does it people suddenly care about privacy.

I’m tired.

Honestly the new base mini is a good buy. Until fairly recently in the Mac timeline, the minis had slow hard drives holding them back.

Can confirm, Intel minis run Linux just fine.

That’s a good point. Better get a giant ass hard drive array going and connect it to something disposable, like an pi.

When they were protesting here in Akron, some asshole put out giant pallets of bricks all along the protest route. Fuckheads.

That’s not because the registry is important or powerful. It’s the opposite. Microsoft designs their shitty operating systems to always assume the registry is perfect. Question nothing. Everything is literal. There is no sanity checking or error handling. So if something is off about the registry, the OS will just shrug and blue screen.

Stop using windows. It’s for children.

The windows registry is not a magical thing. That’s really all that dangerous. It’s just a giant central config file that you can store binary data in if you know what you’re doing. Malware can hide there too.

Tools that claim to lighten windows are almost always riddled with malware. You should never ever trust them. Those project build a base of loyal users, then change and add in malware later, compromising the system.

Windows is not a system you modify like that. It’s actually surprisingly Mac like in how you have to handle it. Be responsible. Build an OS up and out, bow down and back.
