ShutUp10 is the GOAT.

Amazon Kindle, too. If there’s a pihole, it freaks out and starts retrying the mothership in a loop until it drains the damned battery. Airplane Mode quiets this, but I hate how aggressive these devices have become.

I like Linux a lot, I just have never mastered it. I plan on learning it better when I retire.

I already have to jump through a bunch of hoops to make Win 10/11 tolerable for personal use and preferences Things like ShutUp10 and dozens of manual tweaks, registry settings, policy changes, etc. The cloud version will probably constantly roll all of that back on me.

I really hate this silicon valley mindset that everyone has reliable broadband and worse, they know what the user wants/needs better than the user does.

Enshitificstion is ruthless.
