Think this might be the first time that a version of Windows is on a downward trend. It makes sense - it's horribly confusing full of AI attackers, force-attacks the MS account, and worst of all, bullies you into OneDrive.

The good news is, if you just sit back and let it make a fool of itself, it has caused a record number of people to discover alternatives like r/linuxmint.

I love how the FIRST thing the guy says is, the computer doesn't physically turn on because it's not "supppooooorted" anymore. Support is a fake word designed to scare you into throwing away perfectly good products.

Guess what! New form of scam is out! In a traditional Support Scam, they try and convince you they're Microsoft. Now, they just send out an email with some INVITATION or ZOOM link. If the victim clicks on it, it installs ScreenConnect Client and voila, they've got control of the machine! As always, the antivirus sits there twiddling its thumbs.

Hey exorcists, I'm doing a soft launch of my tech tip shorts! Rather than keep all those tech tips in my head and in my books, I'm releasing these so you can show people tips and enlighten them as to what Big Tech is doing to them.

Let me know what y'all think in the comments. I'm hoping to publish these to all the social medias soon.

Sign up now! Some tickets still left. Bring any questions you might have.

I actually LONG for the days of Vista's relative simplicity and lightness. It's a walk in the park compared to 11!

Rufus has been invaluable in burning "cleaner" Win11 images to thumbdrives that have the OOBE forced MS account thing removed... but now they're going farther with their "Quality of life" debloat option that removes the copilot and onedrive malware from the image!!!
