How do you use it? Do you need to use hot keys constantly?

I just use a windows laptop for those occasions.

This is a joke comment, right? I upvoted it because it has to be a joke.

I work in fintech (payments industry) and we specifically have servers in the US AWS clusters for American clients, and in Canada for RoW. Canada is supposedly a safe-harbor for data with partnering countries, unlike the US.

But knowing this what MS says, I somehow doubt Amazon has a different stance.

Felt like I churned up FoV from 60 to 130 and fps from 15 to 240. I did some drastic changes though, so it wasn't exactly gradual. Unless you count a year being gradual. A lot of it wasn't the result of my own merits though, but rather being surrounded by good people. The rest was happenstance.

I have a volume, let's call it "Shit I put in here that I have randomly acquired over the years", mostly smallish files of any nature, text, image, executables, archives, that I've been carrying with me for over two decades, cloning from one drive upgrade to the next, surviving multiple systems. I've noticed that starting with Windows 7, defender without so much as a notification, started removing random files it deems malicious. I suspect they may have been quarantined at first, but other times outright deleted, as I'm sure the default behaviour settings have been overridden by updates numerous times.
I've had a couple executables that were doing direct memory reading and injection for some MMOs, think packet sniffing or botting/automating certain tedious tasks, and defender would eliminate the executable without so much as a warning when I have extracted backup archive of it.

Then there was the infamous case of DeCSS, and defender removing anything related to it from drives, ignoring white lists, removing it from SMBs even where it had write access, and always categorizing it as something else, now malicious.

And I'm pretty sure it also removed a copy of The Terrorist's Handbook in doc format at one point from my drive.

The reddit API can only go back 1000 comments (or pages of comments, 25 per page, I forgot which). I went back to about 2019 fairly well, but none of the scrubbing scripts really accomplished anything beyond that. How were you able to delete all your comments and posts?

I'd buy this on a bluray.

There's nothing to learn. Mint and Fedora were click click done.

Also c/politics is a shit hole.
