Windows 11 repeatedly promoted Edge, Onedrive and Phone link in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yes this isn't a new thing. Weeks ago I read a headline talking re a Microsoft ad in the Windows lock screen. I didn't have ads in my lock screen but I can imagine the annoyance for those who had ads.

Windows 11 didn't enable Onedrive in my Documents, Pictures and others. I've used local storage since I bought my 💻. I hope Windows 11 won't suddenly enable Onedrive. Folks will riot if they'll do such a 💩 act.

No. The promotions annoyed me but not extremely. Anyway, it's been 👍 to know I could always switch to Linux. There's @level1linux if I wanna know more re Linux. I think Wendell's an expert.

Windows 11 repeatedly promoting Edge, Onedrive and Phone link annoyed me. There must be a "Don't remind me again." checkbox.

Firefox has been reliable. Brave seems 👍. I haven't wanted Edge as my main.

I already have a Onedrive account. It was reliable.

I haven't wanted to use Phone link.

I already have a Onedrive account. It was reliable. I haven't needed the Onedrive system tray icon. I just went to onedrive.com. On the other hand, I've had the Dropbox system tray icon.

Student driver's permit (lemmy.world)

I need a nonprofessional driver's license. I need a student driver's permit 1st right? 1 of the requirements for a student driver's permit is a certificate of completion of the Theoretical driving course. I've known someone who can drive and has had a license. I asked Grok 3 if I could ask him to teach me instead of going to a driving school. Per Grok 3, the certificate from the driving school is needed. Correct?

From reading the requirements, what naturally comes to mind is just go to a driving school. I'm just wondering if I can save ₱ by not going to a school.

My review of The Fabelmans (lemmy.world)

It's not a recent flick but I just wanna share my review –

I finished it minutes ago. The 1st 20 min are so boring. Here are what spurred me to finish it.

  1. Spielberg directed it.
  2. It was loosely based on his childhood.

The post, Bridge of spies and Saving Private Ryan's opening are 👍 so I hoped The Fabelmans was 👍 too. It was entertaining but not great. OK plot.

👍 acting. I can write about 3 paragraphs re the top cast's acting but I don't wanna make this too long. I'll just highlight Sam Rechner, who didn't play the cliched bully. It seemed Logan Hall had an internal issue. Bullying, having that high school quarterback aura, then his conscience tapping him due to his bullying, then getting upset; it can easily get cringe. But Rechner's acting wasn't cringe. Great job.

ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it in c/[email protected]

When Chatgpt 1st shook the tech world, I said thanks and please. Then at some point I stopped. I've just wanted to enter my prompt very fast. Grok 3 and Claude 3.7 sonnet (extended thinking) have been my go-to llm but when in a hurry, I just use the Gemini voice assistant or Meta ai – I have the Messenger app.

Me too. If Chatgpt is like this, it won't be as controversial as Google's glue pizza.

Saw this just now. Don't have many memories re my April 13. On April 10 my tummy was extremely painful and I puked. Diarrhea, I think. I took loperamide. I rested on the succeeding days, including 13. On 15 I was 💯. No more pain.

On another note, the past few days were OK. Hot weather but I endured. I oft thought re 👍 food and drinks. Those were some of the stuff that made me :).

Found your 5-month-old comment by searching zero dark thirty on Lemmy.

It showed that torture didn't work. Ammar didn't say crucial info after the waterboarding and during the 🐕 collar torture. Faraj didn't say crucial info after the waterboarding.

Torture is 👎.

I viewed 0 dark 30 twice minimum. Great direction and acting.

Jessica – Jennifer Ehle – seemed dumb when she met the al-Qaeda 👨‍⚕️. I think no Cia person is that dumb.

What movies did people look up to during the 80s/90s? in c/[email protected]

Lately I viewed Close encounters of the 3rd kind. Hasn't been my cup of tea. Boring plot.

But I've liked the time dilation aspect. The previously missing didn't age. Maybe their velocity was so high relative to Earth's velocity before landing on Earth. Maybe they were near a supermassive black hole. Maybe both?

It's a flick so maybe it was magic, not time dilation.

Dave making a 💻 ad was kinda 👎 in c/[email protected]

The Youtube channel @gsmarenaofficial has been 👍. Concise reviews. His 📱 reviews have had thermal throttling which many reviewers have omitted. His 📱 reviews have had detailed cam discussions too.

Gsmarena has had text reviews too for folks who've liked those.

I visit these sometimes for tech stuff. Not text reviews but more like news –

  1. platformer.news
  2. spacebar.news
  3. wheresyoured.at
  4. theverge.com

Dave's been my fav 💻 Youtuber but this hasn't sat well with me. Many have relied on him for unbiased 💻 opinions then he made a 💻 ad. His ads shouldn't be re or related to a 💻, tablet or a 📱.

Llama 4 behemoth seems 👍 in c/[email protected]

It's been 👍 ime. Concise answers. It even correctly answered my question re a recent Nba game. Its voice sounds natural and isn't irritating.

my go-to llms in no specific order –

  1. Llama 4 behemoth
  2. Grok 3
  3. Claude 3.7 sonnet (extended thinking)

What's your go-to?

When in a hurry, I just use Gemini by telling my phone "Hey Google."

I fretted that the Bulls' win crushed the Lakers' morale. Seemed not. Doncic, Bron and Reaves cooked. What a luxury for the Lakers having someone who can score at will when badly needed – Doncic. Circus layups even when defended well. Long step-back 3s. Nba finals experience. He's young so he can improve greatly.

Edey played hard. Since the news that the Lakers looked for a 👍 center before the trade deadline, I've appreciated 👍 centers more. Adebayo, Edey, Gafford, Lively and others.

McDo latte and Burger king's salted caramel coffee are 👍 (lemmy.world)

McDo latte (I ask for less ice) is 👍. It’s sweetened already. But not all the branches have it.

Burger king’s salted caramel coffee is 👍 too. I ask for less ice.

If you want Starbucks, their latte is 👍. I ask for sugar and less ice.

I read that unsweetened latte or flat white is 👍. I haven’t found an espresso shop that has 👍 unsweetened latte or flat white. I may be so :) after tasting such a drink.

I’m not a veteran espresso drinker.

Chernobyl and Daiichi (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/27215326

If 1 asks me re a great way to know re the Chernobyl disaster, I'll suggest this. 1 of my top series.

I asked myself "How about the Fukushima Daiichi disaster?" I had 3 ideas –

  1. I found an eli5 explainer using Google.

  2. Plainly difficult's vid (the best for me)

  3. The days

Plainly difficult's vid is more detailed than the eli5 explainer so if you're in no rush, please watch.

I was at the 20:00 mark of The days episode 4 when I stopped due to its slowness. It'd be better if it had 4 or 5 episodes instead of 8.
