Microsoft was criticized for the tactics that it used to promote its free upgrade campaign for Windows 10, including adware-like behaviors, using deceptive user interfaces to coax users into installing the operating system, downloading installation files without user consent, and making it difficult for users to suppress the advertising and notifications if they did not wish to upgrade to 10. The upgrade offer was marketed and initiated using the "Get Windows 10" (GWX) application, which was first downloaded and installed via Windows Update in March 2015. Registry keys and Group Policy settings could be used to partially disable the GWX mechanism, but the installation of patches to the GWX software via Windows Update could reset these keys back to defaults, and thus reactivate the software. Third-party programs were also created to assist users in applying measures to disable GWX.

i Upgraded Windows 11 to AnduinOS Linux Cuz Windows 11 Have Some Problems, so i Decided to Use Linux instead

Well that happened.

I used to play this Roblox game a lot as a kid since I was a Titanic fan.

The ship may look oversized but that's because Roblox didn't really know how to handle meshes super well back then so it was built like this. It does bring back a lot of memories.

Looks like Billy's favorite comic book comes back in volume 4 in September read more...
