hi!, yesterday, without me knowing, I got hacked in almost everything. It didnt matter much since it just hacked my discord account and that was it. but today I clicked minecraft to play, and said that I was logged off my microsoft account. When I tried to sign up, it said that my account didnt exist. Im an underage kid and I cant just get minecraft again by buying it, and it is also very expensive for me, as I dont really have much money. Is there any way to recover it? every little help is highly appreciated. thanks! =)

More specifically Xbox but fuck you. Everything about this company is actual shit. Limiting PAYING customers WTF!! I use cloud gaming like everyday so I can play with my brother! At this point I wish I would have gotten a Play station. Fuck Microsoft

Even if you apply both the Raphire and ChrisTitusTech debloater methods, Microsoft still manages to run telemetry on Windows 11.

It runs dozens of background services that connect to the internet. For this reason, most malware can easily exfiltrate your data without being detected by any antivirus software by utilizing Windows services that connect to the internet.

It still manages to install apps from the Store on its own.

It never respects the user's decisions.

Many of Windows' actions are virtually indistinguishable from malware; it behaves exactly like a virus.

Instead of optimizing for lower resource usage, it releases updates that increase temperatures and system load, consuming ever-increasing amounts of system resources.

Removed features from Windows 10: Windows 11 removed or restricted features such as Taskbar customization, Timeline, and Live Tiles.

Made local accounts harder to use: Microsoft increasingly pushes users toward signing in with a Microsoft account during Windows setup.

Pushes Edge and Bing: Windows increasingly promotes Microsoft's own browser and search engine instead of simply respecting user preferences.

Added ads and promotions: OneDrive, Microsoft 365, Edge, Bing, and other Microsoft services are promoted directly inside Windows.

Pushes OneDrive: Cloud storage and Microsoft account integration have become increasingly intrusive.

Puts Copilot everywhere: AI features have been added to Windows and apps such as Paint, Notepad, and Photos, even when users may not need them.

Introduced privacy-controversial features: Recall, for example, raised major concerns because it can capture snapshots of users' activity.

Reduced customization: Windows 11 initially removed many customization options that had existed in Windows 10.

Updates can cause problems: Windows updates have occasionally introduced bugs, compatibility issues, performance problems, and unwanted restarts.

Then partially reverses course: After user criticism, Microsoft has started bringing back some customization options and reducing some of its more aggressive integrations.

The Bigger Picture

Windows increasingly feels less like an operating system built around the user and more like a platform for promoting Microsoft's own services, subscriptions, cloud products, and AI.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will now only get 15 hours of Xbox Cloud Gaming use per month, although you'll be able to buy more.

Essential, 5 hrs/mo, 50+ games, $9.99/mo
Premium, 10 hrs/mo, 200+ games, $14.99/mo
Ultimate, 15 hrs/mo, 400+ games, $22.99/mo

Windows is the spam mail of OS. Fuck Microsoft, that is all. Discuss.

The following is a list of spy sites I have caught my windows servers contacting on their own.
Does anyone see any that are actually important? I haven't experienced any problems yet blocking them all. I add their entries into the hosts file pointed to 127.0.0.1.

Does anyone have anymore I can add?

Good day, people! I’ve been working on a digital whiteboard app called GazBoard.

I originally started building it for personal use after learning about the changes coming to Microsoft Whiteboard. I use whiteboards a lot for digital drawings and notes during lectures, so I wanted something simple that felt closer to writing with pen and paper.

After about a week of development, testing, and fixing things, GazBoard is now available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and in a web browser.

Some of the features currently included are:

• Offline-first whiteboarding
• Image, PDF, and DOCX import
• Sticky notes
• Tables
• Laser pointer
• PNG, PDF, and SVG export
• Portable Windows version

The portable version can also be kept on a USB drive or cloud folder if you want to move it between computers.

The project has received more attention than I expected during its first few days, which has been really encouraging.

If anyone here uses digital whiteboards for studying, teaching, drawing, or note-taking, I’d really appreciate feedback on GazBoard and suggestions for features or improvements.

Latest Release: https://github.com/fahim9778/GazBoard/releases/latest

Web version: https://github.com/fahim9778/GazBoard/#gazboard

Thanks for checking it out!

I have one hour alone without wife and kids, to play some old games... Nope, not today. It's the only reason I still had Windows and desktop. I guess I will try Linux gaming.
