lol. remember when the pics thread was all here's a link to a random site that will hack your kernel to display custom boot logos? they got real pissy when i pointed out that grabbing rando executables to inject code into the kernel was probably a bad idea.

i never really use it as a tablet and it just sits there as an extra screen while i work from a keyboard+mouse and separate monitors. the random slow-downs and random hard-locks upon resuming from sleep are pretty fuckin bad though (it has been slightly better since i went and manually upgraded the firmware, those fucks prepping these things aren't doing their jobs):

i guess i could take my chances and ask for a replacement machine, specifically a laptop but my colleague did that recently and they gave him a second-hand laptop with half the screen-hinge assembly shattered lol

After uninstalling the appx don't forget to get rid of all appxpackages or they'll be reinstalled every feature update

Did King pay like $30B to Microsoft to push candy crush incessantly

Windows no longer reinstalls appx packages that have been uninstalled even if they were just uninstalled for that user, this was changed some updates ago.

what is it with ms and settings that don't actually work? sometimes my desktop will lag for a second or two and it will ask me, "oh hey do you want to turn off aero?" and one of the choices is No, gently caress You Never Ask Me Again and i think i've probably selected that about a few dozen times and it still asks me every time. i mean, if one of the choices was No, gently caress You Please Ask Me Every Time I Love This Dialog i would appreciate the honesty but this is just insulting and they do this bunches
