Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

Ah fair enough, for some reason i read a different mod submitters name. Ty for the clarification!

Just use one of the 6 other DLSS bridge mods kekw.

Puredarks mods been working since day 1 for me. No issues, even with reshade.

Yep exactly what i stated, you can create local accounts. It’s dumb you have to do the work around, i agree with that.

I agree its a load of garbage. But that wasn’t the point of my statement vs. the directly quoted protion of the article i was referencing and reaponding to. The article list those issues as defaco issues, which they are solveable as i stated and was pointing out. Which occur in other OSs. Not to the extent of the garbage of windows 11.

Nothing i stated is untrue. You took the meaning and spun the context of my statement and spun it into me defending microsoft and windows11. Which i never did once.

Well of course. Some bozo said i lied, then miss-quoted me, then tried to discredit me based off their own made up bullshit.

Sorry for standing up for myself i guess haha?

Yep i agree. That is why i prefer using Linux distros as my general use OSs.

Was just mainly pointing out the articles fallacies in their reasoning from the section i specifically quoted.

Depends on user competencies with computers. It really isn’t difficult to full remove. Its even easier to disable like you mentioned, and for most common users, out of site out of mind is a fine option.

Now i do think having to do so is dogshit and should not have to be the case. I’m just saying what i specifically quoted from the article, are not fully true.

They ask about both diagnostic and telemetry options. Ubuntu 22.04. Default GUI prompts this during account fist login. Rocky 8 with default GUI asks this on initial user account login. Those are just the two i used over this past weekend.

At no point did i say it was the 20 questions that windows tosses at you. I purley stated it still happens.

So you can suck my dick with your shitty attitude trying to discredit me and my statement by misinterpretation and spinning what i said into your own dog shit interpretation.

(Mostly) mandatory Microsoft account sign-in.

• yea you can just create a local account lol.

Setup screen asking you about data collection and telemetry settings.

• so just like some current Linux GUIs and installs that also ask this. Same with MacOS

A (skippable) screen asking you to “customize your experience.”

• just press skip like any other OS that asks.

A prompt to pair your phone with your PC.

• also skipable, and isnt even asked on a local account setup.

IDK man win11 is pretty simple to “debloat” and most of the shit in this article that they complain about is common on multiple Linux, Apple, android, etc. setup/install processes.

Win11 is dogshit for a variety of reasons, like the shitty new start menu formatting/lay out. The god awful menu nesting. The laggy audio panel. The list goes on.

If we’re gonna be nitpicking an OS. Atleast nitpick shit that actually impacts operation and isnt also common on many OS’

2020’s the decade of the .jpg wars. Lmao.

Linus always came off to me as one of those people who shouldn’t be mangement. Idk, just watching him in videos feels frustrating, and he seemed to belittle his employees in a joking/non-joking manner.

Some of the other “techs” do seem to be very knowledgeable, and i feel bad for them to have to work under a man child.

Man it’s wild, people can have their own opinions on anything they want in any manner they want. Why you trying to gatekeep opinions. Kind weird dude.

Nah we’ll probably have to wait for modders to add dick suits.

Lol want a picture of my electronics system engineering degree?

Want my CV that includes 7 years working for an electric motor engineering and automation company/firm and 6 years experience with professional electronics repair?

Need a reference to my last employer, who i setup/managed to be the first authorised Apple repair partner in province?

Although outdated would you like my previous certifications from Samsung, HTC, and LG for electronics repair?

I’ll provide my engineering credentials as soon as you do as well. Seeing thats your major claim here little man.

Keep sighing and shilling for a multi-billion dollar compnay that employs top level engineers and designers, who rather cut cost in manufactoring to skirt laws and consumer ease of repairability?

And just to add, i think all manufacturers should have easily swapable batteries in their mobile devices.

Fuck outta here with your bullshit assumptions.

I remember an apology being issued about it iirc.

Personally, I’m fine with mtx if it supports continual development of a game i paid for and enjoyed prior to them being added. As long as the actual meaningful game additions are free or 1-time transactions.

What i don’t like is constant FOMO based p2w mechanics that are a requirement to play in any meaningful way, like most mobile time walled games. I also don’t like when corpos make decisions like adding DRM to an always online game, that is known to impact users, just points to a devs inability or a monetary kick back of said 3rd party drm to the devs shareholders.

Shitty situation overall however :(
