Honestly? Easiest method is to do a fresh install. I use Windows LTSC which essentially skips all the bloat and spyware in consumer versions of Windows.

If a fresh reinstall isn't viable, there's a collection of batch scripts someone built a while ago called Tron (it fights for the user!). It does a lot of diagnostics, repair, debloat, and optimization, but takes a long time to run.

So the better choice was the guy endorsed by literal nazis, who are known for... checks notes their genocidal inclinations?

Ah, I forget sometimes that common sense and reasoning isn't worth shit in a country where people are second-class citizens behind business entities. I can't even imagine what decent labor and consumer protections look like, let alone fair and responsible IP governance.

Not a lawyer, but I think it should be pretty straightforward to prove that Stratasys is selectively /inequitably enforcing the patent given the prevalence of PEI build plates and automatic leveling, among other things, long before Bambu released a machine or became popular.

As others have said, I use it mainly for the search function to start programs as well as many shortcuts. I've seen others mention screenshots and locking, but here are a few more:

  • Win+. - Opens the special symbols/emoji windows
  • Win+ left or right arrow - Snaps a window to the left or right half of the screen, respectively. Up arrow maximizes, down minimizes.
  • Win+r - Opens the run dialog
  • Win+v - Opens clipboard history (history is off by default, it will ask you to enable it the first time you use the shortcut)
  • Win+x - Opens the 'quick link' menu (Power Options, Event Viewer, System, Device Manager, Network Connections, Disk Management, Computer Management, and Command Prompts
  • As a bonus, my favorite windows shortcut is Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L, which opens linkedin in in a new browser tab.

A full list can be found here: windows key shortcuts

For me, it was about being able to watch yt on my tv and mobile devices which are not able to block ads as easily as a desktop browser. I have a pihole on my home network, but it hasn't been able to block yt ads for a few years.

This is so immensely disappointing

Besides the common stuff, I would add an extra set of arms. Who couldn't use 4 arms?

There's a few 3rd party solutions that are compatible with Google's find my device coming out this year. Pebblebee just released a few trackers, and iirc chipolo is working on one too.

I never remember whether we're currently in daylight savings or not since it's so stupid. I just started saying 'eastern time' instead of the abbreviation to avoid getting it wrong
