vodka , 16 days ago to Mildly Infuriating in I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed

I had an employer that uses Santander for pension, within a day of them adding my info into Santanders systems my email that has never gotten spam before in over 10 years (custom domain, only every used for government stuff or employment stuff) got 20-30 spam emails.
It keeps getting 10 or so a day since then.

Big banks WILL sell your info.

LTSC 24H2 released sometime at the end of May?
I installed it just recently in a VM..

If you happen to torrent a fair bit (especially public trackers) then ipv6 can make a huge difference, there's loads of ipv6 only seeders and leechers I'm suddenly reaching.

My solution to #1 is installing it in a VM and copying the installed game over.
It works, but quite annoying

Creds for leaving it up though.

vodka , 3 months ago to Technology in Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools

I switched when a Windows update for the third time in a month forcibly changed the default pdf and html file association to edge.

That was like 5 years ago, and I've never looked back.

vodka , 3 months ago to Memes in was this not allowed before?

Ah! You're right, they had it on the 14 Pro and Pro Max. That isn't years though, its barely 1.5 years. (September '22)

It was just not on the normal non-pro models.
iPhone 15 non-pro got it though.

They have actually introduced AOD, but only from the iPhone 15.

Their reasoning for not backporting the feature (unless phone is charging) is that the older models don't have LTPO displays that go down to the 1hz they do in AOD on the 15.
A stupid reason imo.

vodka , 3 months ago to Memes in I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing.

Oh yeah I mean, it's expensive. But if you're very much into modding and like me don't like your gbit download speed to be limited to 3mbit or whatever the free thing is... I get paying it.

I wouldn't pay for what yearly costs now, but the 40eur lifetime price 10 years ago sure wasn't a bad deal.

You're not paying for mods though, you're paying for faster downloads and no ads.

Work gave me an iPhone, it has been pestering me with "ACTIVATE YOUR FREE 3 MONTHS OF APPLE TV PLUS" once a week since new, and the same for iCloud storage, and the games service, and apple music.

I got 4 notifications a week at random times of the day from the system itself telling me to make sure I signed up for their free trial with my credit card before the 3 month period where the deal was available is over.

This has never happened on a Pixel for me, sure they pester you about Google One plans etc on first setup, but they shut the fuck up after you say no.
