Nice, about a teaspoon of melted menthol crystals per 500ml of conditioner/shampoo or soap is probably about as strong as you'd get from a store-bought product with menthol already in it (I've only seen men's shampoo with it in it before because I guess it's HARDCORE :byodood:). I usually put in like 3-4 tablespoons per 500ml because I like feeling like I put my head in a freezer during and after getting out of the shower.

:iceburn:

Okay this stuff is strong I regret nothing but my butthole begs to differ.

My default Android contact list does the bullshit thing where the list loads, then exactly one second later some bullshit banner loads that pushes all the contacts down one spot. Every single loving time I have clicked on a contact the last several weeks I clicked on the contact one up the list because of this. gently caress yoooouuuuuuuuu default Android contact list! As far as I can tell the banner thing that loads is just a line that says "<email address> has 170 contacts!" I know my own freaking email address and I never asked you to freaking count my contacts and load a banner ad telling me how many freaking contacts I have you psycho developers who thought this was a good idea?! Argh.

Remember the outrage over AI automatically denying more claims?

My employer has a window into multiple healthcare systems' data all over the country. There is an immediate jump in denials the same month the biggest payer (insurance company) announced their AI implementation. 100-400%+ over historical numbers. It's quite clear and has been consistently elevated over the norm ever since. Happy to say we should be providing our client healthcare providers a ton of good data for their lawsuits.

Windows 11 just replaced my desktop wallpaper and added a "find out more about this image" shortcut on my desktop after the latest Windows update.

I've been a "LOL, Linux on the desktop, as if" guy for 25+ years and have always just turned off the telemetry and ad stuff in Windows 10 and 11, but this is making me look for an Ubuntu installer.

wtf version of windows 11 are ya'll running where you're getting stupid poo poo like that? i've had it installed since it first came out and i have no problem with it

like did you pirate it and accidentally click a tick box that said "give me ads and scams when installing this?"

i continue to go back to Skill Issue but some of you sound like you're supposed to be computer touchers with the whole "i'm gonna install linux and keep it maintained" thing even though that's an extremely low bar

If you're using Windows 10 or especially 11 with all automatic updates on you're essentially a guinea pig for whatever MS wants to put on your computer unless you're constantly checking on which updates are getting downloaded and installed. They'll put things on some people's computers and other things on other groups as tests because you are the product.

all of my win 10 and 11 pcs rebooted overnight so they can get whatever the latest poo poo ms have shoveled into the os. woke up to cries of "the plex isnt working!" cause for some reason it retriggered part of the initial setup (which helpfully includes offers for more ms products) and couldnt autoboot through

i guess i need to turn off auto updates

ive tried the 10 different ways they tell you to stop win10 from automatically rebooting to install updates and none of them seem to reliably work, outside of using the pause updates feature every couple months to delay the inevitable like a much slower version of the computer from :lost:

*chomp chomp chomp*
Only way I've found to stop updates is to rip the copper wiring out and actually rename/move/delete the processes that do the actual updates. Then disable/remove the services and all the tasks like UpdateMedicService and all that crap too. Unfortunately this stops all updates from happening, including the security updates which obviously isn't great. None of the methods you find on the net really work because MS is constantly changing things to try and stop you from disabling updates, and if even one of those services is still running it will re-download and re-enable everything else.

All this is a huge pain in the rear end and not really worth the effort or the loss in security, though I haven't tried those Enterprise editions that don't include all the bullshit updates so that'd probably be good.

People complain about Linux being hard but installing and configuring even Arch would be easier than that, especially because it wouldn't try to stop you from doing it.

I bought a Dell mobile thin client and installed Kubuntu on it. I install all updates as soon as they show up, it handles updating firmware, and I've gone 2 years and counting without it breaking. Any computer-toucher complaining about limnix being too hard is a loving idiot and shouldn't be anywhere near an ipad let alone something that has settings to modify.

Please don't do this. This is the same poo poo people did when Youtube blocked ad blockers for a ton of users, but not all of them.

A lot of the people who didn't get blocked acted like they'd done something right when alls they got was lucky.

You can turn these things off in Windows, but they can turn them right back on. It not happening for you yet doesn't mean you figured something out nobody else could. It means you weren't in the testing group.

But even if you were right, "I know how to opt out of my product being poo poo by default" means the product is, by default, poo poo.
