You should be able to use dd to create bootable device. Ubuntu has a guide, just replace their iso with yours: scroll all the way down to Using the Linux command line

Wow! That’s not even listed on their Amazon storefront.

Thank you so much!

I have an antique AUKEY that has been limping by for quite a while now, and that’s exactly what I need. Ordering it now.

every Viofo I’ve checked had WiFi + app. Even the cheap ones.

Got a link? I’m actually in the market for a replacement and have had no luck finding a simple device.

It’s an impossible ask. Even the cheap $20 imports require an app to set them up.

Privacy nightmare on multiple fronts, given the latest wifi/bluetooth scanning revelation.

Where did SKG ask for perpetual servers? I need a quote.

Xbox started as the underdog, and while it didn’t hold a candle to PS2’s price and library… they at least brought some competition to the stagnating market after Sega’s departure. The Wii/360/PS3 era would have been so much worse without the 360.

and then when Microsoft stopped trying to compete and instead tried tying the brand to TV/Media/Windows, Sony and Nintendo seemed to collectively think that competition is pointless and the consumers must be wrung dry of any spare cash and ownership they could have.

If they really wanted the brand to turn around in an instant: Make Xbox Live service free. Offer a week-long game rental per month from a curated rotating list for every console owner. Get developers on their side by limiting predatory practices publishers are using. Start printing physical media with benefits like an included strategy guide, a poster, a map, or heck a sticker pack. Anything. Just get Xbox brand back in eyesight. It has to be tangible so that people can actually notice it while shopping instead of scrolling through a list on a storefront where it’d be missed.

But no- instead we have to talk about how there is a failure to monetize the brand. Boohoo, they can’t get even more money.

Wow, yeah I completely forgot that we used to connect directly to the internet. No gateway to shield us.

I used to get OS alert popup windows from random people connecting to the local Messenger Service with all sorts of scams.

A few things that people seem to have forgotten over the years:

The “Fisher-Price” visual style fiasco. (People claiming XP’s UI design choices were too unprofessional)

Extremely unstable on base release, with things only getting better after Service Pack 1.

Activation servers required to install the OS.

The start of Window’s Customer Experience Improvement Program telemetry.

Integration of Windows Update into the OS, which re-enabled Microsoft defaults like Internet Explorer, after patches were complete.

The start of confusing SKUs: Home Edition, Professional Edition, Media Center Edition, and Professional x64 Edition which was confusingly a re-badged Server 2003.

I’m sure I am forgetting a lot more. It wasn’t all sunshine and daisies like people seem to remember… but it was a lot better than now.

No it’s steak sauce

I still don’t get how telemetry is even legal.

If I purchase a vehicle from a previous owner, I do not have any agreement with the manufacturer regarding collection of my data.

If ASUS is building the hardware, why couldn’t Xbox as a company handle everything then?

Xbox is already a brand. Xbox is already a publisher. The move to make it independent would mean it has to promote Xbox instead of everything Microsoft.

Since COVID, I lost my own assigned desk and now have to find and log a ticket to get a workspace in the office.

Microsoft doesn’t seem to be interested in making the hardware though. Microsoft wants further integration of Game Pass and Xbox cloud streaming into the Windows Microsoft Store.

That’s what got them where they are now. Dilution of the Xbox brand and an aimless hardware strategy.

Yeah, whatever roadblocks are set up can easily be dismantled using the same privs.

Only way to achieve this goal is to either hand the keys to someone else or to lock yourself out.

bloat accumulated over the lifetime of Win10 -> Win11.

Microsoft attempting to “unify” brands but instead causing massive confusion is the root cause.

Does the Onedrive integrated into Windows 11 replace the one that is a standalone taskbar app? Maybe? They certainly can’t be the same thing because the taskbar Onedrive wasn’t signed in on boot while the Windows 11 account is a Microsoft 365 online account.

Is the Microsoft 365 Personal subscription going to cover Microsoft Teams that work requires? Maybe not? I mean, it was previously Skype, and before that Lync.

And is Outlook or Outlook (New) prompting a sign in?

I couldn’t begin to explain what went wrong and how to prevent such bloat in the future, because it was all official Microsoft software. There was nothing to “avoid” doing in the future. No teachable moment. Microsoft did this themselves.

I find it utterly confusing.

I had to troubleshoot a family member’s computer, and the amount of redundant but separate systems floating around in it is insane. A Onedrive integrated into the OS, a separate Onedrive for syncing specific folders, yet another OneDrive to access work resources. 365 for office, 365 for OneDrive, 365 for Teams. Don’t even get me started on Copilots being tossed around everywhere.

Half of these systems are auto-logged in during startup, the other prompting they need logins, and most of which flag for space issues and subscription notices.

Let’s stick with McDonalds then. Please state who has access to your collected name, email accounts, mailing address, GPS location, social media accounts, and credit card numbers.

Then please state which companies McDonalds has purchased the same information from, and sold that information to, as stated in the privacy page.

Damage? Where’s the damage? I’m just not sure that giving up practical conviences for whatever this reads like to you and has you worried about is worth it. You’d use no apps ever. And you’d have to consistently be going with less as the technology moves on and you boycott it all. They are literally not staffing these places the way they used to.

Sounds like you don’t quite understand the significance of that information.

If you would please post your name, email acounts, mailing address, GPS location, social media accounts, and credit card numbers… I’m sure plenty of people can give you some examples.

But it’s not like you or anyone here can show the damage to privacy or otherwise a fast food app is going to have versus the very real conveniences others have brought up here.
