   I absolutely despise Discord for anything more than a couple of friends chatting. It is the worst way to have discussions with a large group of people that I can think of because you have to wade through so many junk messages to read anythi

   What the hell are you doing to get malware? I have never had a virus ever. And I only keep Windows Defender running in the background. Though I doubt I'd even need that. Bloatware – yes. Uninstall it once and it's gone. Once or tw

   I agree modern Windows sucks for the average consumer, with all the dark patterns and icky stuff, but if you are on this forum and technically inclined enough to install Linux, you can just disable all the bad parts of Windows and get a roc

   I dislike what Microsoft is doing to Windows as much as the next guy but if you get Windows Pro and disable all the icky stuff it is a rock solid OS that just works. Sure, once a year an update might add some new icky stuff but then you jus

   I have used a ST10 as my tv speaker for years and despite being mono it has such a clear and full sound. Spectacular little box.

    The parts of the internet that are now banned for Australian teenagers are unlikely to change their lives in a positive way and much more likely to lead them into mental illness.

    I only use Google Photos as a photo viewer, completely offline, no cloud backups. Like I said, there are definitely file level changes which I inspected on a copy of the files on my computer. Anyway, thanks for participating. I hope I didn&

    It's what hooked me on video editing as a kid. I then moved on to cracked Sony Vegas and eventually Premiere and After Effects. I made short films with my siblings and friends to try and recreate VFX that I had seen on YouTube channels
