Install as “English (World)” and all adverts and additional software is missed, as it doesn’t know your region, therefore doesn’t know what to serve.

If you need the Windows Store, you can change the region post install, and it’ll remain clean and the store will then populate.

Used Pihole for years. Gave AdGaurd Home a try and never looked back.

Every few months you’ll have to fiddle with your Pihole config as an upgrade breaks it. Unbound is a whole separate beast. Refreshing the lists seem to take a lot of processing. You need a second instance, just because.

AdGaurd Home just works. DNS over HTTPS and DoH for your upstream all built in. Upstream can be fail over or fastest response. Upgrades work in browser in a matter of seconds. And to date, has never fallen over (on the exact same hardware and OS as my Piholes).

AdGaurd Home’s service blocking, and Safe Search enforcement is a useful add on for kids devices too.

You should really run 2 instances anyway, for fail over, so why not run one of each and decide for yourself which you prefer?

Remember some ‘core’ apps, such as Paint and Calculator are delivered via the Store now too - so they’ll also be missing.

This seems a bit fishy to me, I don’t buy it.

I reckon the couple had done something stupid in the car like drive it through a fjord ford that was deeper than they thought, or through a flooded section of road and actually did submerge the battery. Multiple times.

Then went to dinner. And the car had enough.

They get the scary quote, then decide to omit the majority of the day’s activities when complaining to the local newspaper in order to shame Tesla/Elon to pay up.

Agreed. A similar ‘hack’ could be “I bought a Steam Deck for free, all I had to do was to work for 22 hours at a job that earned me $25/hour”

Thats the sites you are visiting from clicking on links on Lemmy… Not the actual app.

That’s just from the internal browser. Use an external one and you’ll see.

Colourblind isn’t the complete absense of colour, e.g. everything looks black and white. With deuteranomaly, you are the actual textbook definition of colourblindness… There are different levels of it, but all can still perceive colour - it’s just whether the difference in colour of the spectrum is detected correctly.

Deuteranomaly (/ie) is the reduction in reactivity of the red-colour receptors. That means your perception of orange/red/brown is less than those with normal vision.

For those with normal vision, this is a great chart. But, if you’re colourblind, it’ll be more confusing for you, sorry!

GOG.com tried to launch that 9 years ago (source). The problem is getting the rights to sell the films without DRM. No major production company would want an easily shared file so readily available…

It would cost millions to get the rights for a single film. And you’re going to sell it DRM-free for $10? Good luck getting financial backing on that.

When choosing the region/language, choose “English (World)”. Boom, bloatware be gone.

You can safely change it to your correct region once you’ve logged in (Note: the Windows Store won’t work until you do).

If anyone happens to remember half-life.fortunecity.net , I was your floating admin (I literally floated around the Map during death matches)

At it’s hayday, it was the 1st/2nd most popular server in the UK.

If I can remember, my little PC managed to handle 20 players, all on a 2mbit line, sneakily hosted in my server room at work in circa 2000…

Yeah, I’m that old.
