I use nextdns on my network and there’s a filter there for smart tvs. Samsung seems to want to call home the most.

The Pixel Buds don’t ship with a cable either.

Now?

I use PipePipe too. Also has SponserBlock inbuilt. Make sure you enable it though.

Alternatively, Firefox and uBlock Origin works.

Doesn’t work for YouTube

$$$$$$$$

hilarious? 🤔

They should update the Chrome extension to tell people to download Firefox instead

I swear I read about how some companies have managed to come up with some break through to charge or increase battery capacity every few months, yet these are never make it to market.

I’m not so sure. Once they are embedded in the video they become hard to block. Twitch is like this now.

That’s the annoying thing here. Everyone, particularly Lemmy where everyone runs Linux and FOSS, thinks this is a Microsoft/Windows issue. It’s not, it’s a Crowdstrike issue.

Because all software runs from Linux right…

I guess it depends on numbers too. We had 200 to work on. If you’re talking hundreds more than looking at automation would be a better solution. In our scenario it was just easier to throw engineers at it. I honestly thought at first this was my weekend gone but we got through them easily in the end.

Ha! Yes. Same issue. Clicking Reset in vSphere and then quickly switching tabs to hold down F8 has been a ball ache to say the least!

Sadly not. Windows doesn’t boot. You can boot it into safe mode with networking, at which point maybe with anaible we could login to delete the file but since it’s still manual work to get windows into safe mode there’s not much point

I’ve just spent the past 6 hours booting into safe mode and deleting crowd strike files on servers.

But again it’s only the minority using extensions or actually taking the time to deny cookies.

This banner is the same tactic used by malware. It targets the average Joe that just accepts anything thrown in their face. It’s the same with the cookie popup we see in the EU. People just click accept to get it out their way so they can view the content they came to see.

They pushed me to Linux (Arch btw).

They aren’t targeting people like me though. They are targeting people like my wife that doesn’t read what she clicks and just accepts it.

Microsoft are being really very pushy to get people to use Edge.

Indeed this. Plus my minipc has dual ethernet which is handy as I run Proxmox and use the second nic for migration traffic. The mini pc is way better than the Pi for my usage.
