I read your post a third time: You really don't want to share anything with MS. That's good. You should consider using a Linux (I prefer manjaro, btw ;) ) because if you really hate MS that much, you shouldn't use their products. If you don't want to use a Linux, you'll have to deal with MS. (Or Mac)
Ok, you don't wanna hear "don't use windows" so: You won't get rid of everything but I used the tool from Titus to unbloat some machines: https://christitus.com/windows-tool/ Microsoft really, really wants your data, so they will do qnyh possible to stop you from gaining the complete power over your device. You should be aware of that. Also, some things won't work if you secure and debloat your machine. This could get really annoying. Good luck!
Yeah, you need an active sub. But atm you can get one for 1 $ per month for the first 3 months. https://www.{the website}.ca/?ref=Adbl_ip_rdr_from_CA&source_code=AWNPP30DTRIAL145080223000F&ipRedirectFrom=CA&ipRedirectOriginalURL=&source=aw&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=249371&awc=69992_1728989022_a31242d904ad73f90e89f4cb2ae29531&source_code=AWNPP30DTRIAL145080223000F
Some of you might already know, but I just found out you can download audiobooks via Book lib connect and return them afterwards. I just tried it and it worked, but I don't know if they will find out, so if you try, maybe use the usual privacy measures. Have fun.
Wenn du zur Miete wohnst: Vermieter*in nerven. Wenn nach einer Erinnerung nichts passiert mit Mietminderung drohen. Dann kümmern die sich schon. Wenn's dein Eigentum ist: Wasser nachfüllen und beobachten. Wenns nicht besser wird, Fachfirma anrufen.
Nah, I'm good. Just because you can't see ads doesn't mean you're safe. My browser (Vivaldi)blocked 23 trackers an 9 ads on that site. I'm glad that sites tell me, that they don't want to let me view their site without getting tracked. I won't disable my adblocker. When online journalism figured out that they should cooperatively work on a method to let readers pay for the content, I will probably disable it. But that won't happen, because of greed.
Wow, I love it! Can you share your .css Files?
No, no OS "borks" itself. You just didnt realise what you did and why it borked your system in the end. This happens to Windows-Users too. I ended up reinstalling so many Windows machines and the user always told me they didnt do anything. I use Linux for about three years now and had to reinstall several times, because I made mistakes I couldn`t identify as mistakes at that moment. Sometimes Linux is complicated and you have to search for a solution. If you would have used Linux your whole life an switched to Windows, your experience would be very similar.
Have you tried takout? https://takeout.google.com/?pli=1
Sometimes I use termux and yt-dlp or ocrmypdf because its easy and much safer than those sketchy websites. Thats it.
I was looking for this for my CoolerMaster Keyboard. I`ll try it. Thanks!
So, I recently found this: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
Worked without any problems. Have fun.
