    Those are made from used HP cartridges, so they have a shorter life span.

    No, those are just repackaged OEM cartridges. And usually they've already been used, which is why they're cheaper.

    That might be the case for you. But if I search for USB mouse or keyboard on Amazon they're mostly USB A on the host end. And desktop PCs still have way more USB A than USB C ports…

    You must be living in some (Apple?) bubble. Most new gaming mice and keyboards sold in 2026 use USB A. Not to mention all the older ones that still work.

    Why, is there a better alternative to the PHP-based forums? (I tried Discourse and it sucks.)

    That probably had nothing to do with LibreOffice. Lots of people have had their MS accounts locked for no reason. I guess the automatic abuse detection system just sucks. My advice…

    The command (oobe\bypassnro) still works in 25H2. There was some talk that they're going to remove it, but so far it hasn't happened.

    Google and Apple's staff do look at people's photos, at least occasionally. The typical excuse is detecting rule violations. It's not the same as doing this systematically (like Me…

    This is the ISO I used, which, according to the MS website[1], is still the latest right now: Win11_25H2_English_x64.iso (SHA256: D141F6030FED50F75E2B03E1EB2E53646C4B21E5386047CB86…

    Neither Home nor Pro really require a MS account. You can skip that during setup (for example with "bypassNRO"). This might change in the future, but as of 25H2 the workarounds sti…

    I tried installing the latest 25H2 (stable iso) and nothing has changed so far. You can still use "bypassNRO" to set it up with a local account, offline. The planned changes will l…

    Not only in Europe. You can uninstall it in other regions too, very easily. This blog post is making some outright false claims.

    That's not a fair take. The only things I noticed that were missing out of the box are the MS Store and some Dolby codecs. Both of those can be installed easily. I estimate that 95…
