Anyone from amerliorated.io reading this, the word 'Rigorously' is misspelt, it appears in a headline on the homepage as "Consistently developed. Rigerously tested". Short of joining their Telegram channel I couldn't find another way of flagging this.

If you for example consider a typical company security policy this is 100% less secure considering any vulnerabilities in windows itself minus the the attack surface of the different telemetry systems that have been disabled. If you care not to report your usage to Microsoft or any agency that Microsoft would need to release data to this is 100% 'secure'. Security has become the main argument for unwanted ongoing spy…
Blackmailing is screaming "yOuR sYsTeM iS nOt SeCuRe!1!!@1!1!#11$%$!" to anyone who shirks updates of any kind. As if the sky is falling if they so much as miss a single update. To anyone who engages in that blackmail, and honestly gaslighting: Kindly fuck off. That argument has never been correct nor valuable information.
The older .info domain also referenced by the LTT video links to a Telegram group, whose owners now link to the new .io domain of this post.
As to why the old website does not reference the new domain directly, I have no idea.
As always with scripts that modify your system in fundamental ways, please take great care and do your own research.

Playbook files are password protected archives. Anyone cares to reverse engineer the password from the executable?
The password seems to be "malte". The executable is completely unobfuscated .NET, and all you need for "reverse engineering" is ILSpy or DotPeek. public static void ExtractFile(string apbx, string file, string targetDir, bool recursive = false) { if (recursive) APBX.RunCommand("x \"" + file + "\" -o\"" + targetDir + "\" -p\"malte\" -y -r"); else APBX.RunCommand("x \"" + apbx + "\" -o\"" + targetDir + "\" -p\"malte\"…
What a terrible website. And what in the world is a playbook?
A set of instructions, such as documentation defining what to do.
Or, more commonly these days: Ansible "playbooks" which run a series of idempotent scripts to bring a system into a desired state. (the terminology taken from the above).
Is this page created by a buzzword-generator for April fools? Btw: Have W11 fixed so that's it's possible to "ungroup" items in the task bar yet? I reverted back to W10 after a few weeks because it was absolutely unusable having all my open editor windows grouped to a single thing in the taskbar, making it hard to quickly switch to the correct one.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because eventually Win 10 will stop being supported and we'll have to switch to win 11 whether we like it or not. It's nice that tools exist already to get rid of most spyware.
Maybe it's time to ditch Windows once and for all. Put spywares aside, the reliability is ridiculous. Bought a surface pro for kids, and had to clean wipe Windows 11 less than a week as they pushed an update causing external display to flicker, uninstalling the update screwed up the whole system and the system restore did not work at all. So had to spend half a day just to install Windows 10. For my own laptop, mostl…

my work software is not supported by WINE and honestly after like 30 years with Windows I will rather butcher windows than deal with Linux, which I tried every few years and still found it unusable for me even besides that one software I need
