or…

Upgrade to Enterprise (upgrading to enterprise will also remove ads in settings)

in gpo editor:

  • Set updates to Manual
  • set the telemetry level to “Security” in group policy (iirc can also be called “Compliance”). This only works on Enterprise.
  • opt out of Microsoft accounts. This will force account creation to skip right to local accounts as if MS accounts were never a thing. This only works on Enterprise/Pro.
  • disable copilot and integrated bing search

do a full reboot

estrogen is not a controlled substance tho, so not really “illegal”, it’s more of a legal gray area thing

now we need some sort of hw-accelerated x86_64 layer but for linux

tbh it has been nearly flawless on win11 for me with an amd cpu

(just make sure to disable automatic windows/defender updates unless you want to get woken up by jet turbine sounds in the middle of the night)

not hw accelerated

not hw accelerated either

both apple m cpus and snapdragon have hardware magic to make translation viable when paired with usermode tools like Rozetta or Prism
otherwise it’s painfully slow, as demonstrated by both box64 and fex.

@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

yes, but you’ll be missing out on ALL games, none of which are compiled for arm64.
also no, box64 is not hardware accelerated. both snapdragon and apple m series cpus have hardware magic that makes translation viable at all (as demonstrated by box64’s (and even fex) piss poor performance)

vox, (edited )
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

well apple cpus have a hardware flag which slightly changes side effects of some existing arm instructions AND completely changes the memory model to one that imitates Intel x86 for the current thread. (TSO)

with this flag enabled, the code can be almost fully recompiled ahead-of-time (from x86_64 to arm64) with minimal overhead (no need to remap memory addresses etc), with no reason to resort to e.g. jit recompilation on the fly (which is exactly what box64 does all the time)

i assume snapdragon and microsoft are doing a similar thing (it definitely involves some hw magic too, maybe not exactly the same as in apple) since it’s seemingly the only way to achieve parity with apple in terms of performance

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

wdym even a shitty 50mbps connection is enough to watch stuff at 1080p
heck, even 3g/4g with it’s unusable 10-15mbps is still good enough yo stream video at a decent quality

vox, (edited )
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

but it’s not 90s anymore. it’s hard to even find a slower connection than 100-300mbps nowadays.
even in a remote village with nothing but fields in kilometers i got an offer with 100mbps as minimum speed

vox,
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

10mbps is not even an option anymore tho for most isps.
50 is the lowest that’s still exists, with most isps offering 100 or 300 as the cheapest option

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

vanced did not “rebrand” into revanced.
revanced is a whole new thing build from the ground up

it only appears on linux if you update your browser while it’s running.
iirc existing tabs usually just keep working but you cannot reload or open new ones until a full browser restart.

try Poweramp, it’s paid but it costs like 10 cents and comes with a 3 day trial (no subscriptions or other bs)
definitely the most feature packed player with no competition

vox, (edited )
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

you have to sign out of your account before resetting the phone in order to prevent tripping the protection.
in case you trip it, you need to enter your credentials, your phone will reboot and do another wipe stage and then will jump right back to the OOBE, fully unlocked.
iirc the account is not actually saved, just verified

vox, (edited )
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

also don’t see how you could trigger it assuming it expects a very specific movement pattern that includes a sudden movement.
maybe by dropping your phone but that doesn’t happen that often and having to unlock your phone again is the least of your concerns in that case

well the whole point of android is to isolate data between apps. that includes your file explorer app.
still crazy how there’s no way to do unencrypted backups from data partition anymore though. the adb backups are deprecated and even though the command still exists it seems broken on android 13 and 14
