The 400$ one will also contribute to e-waste.

Just saying.

One of the issues indeed.

Here's a few more:

• stringent and unnecessary hardware requirements
• changing app defaults is cumbersome
• Home version requires a MS account
• right click menu costs more clicks than in 10

And so on and so forth...

Looks like it would be easy for MS to allow this out of the box.

The taskbar still cannot be pinned to the side? I stay with 10.

Still no properly customisable Start menu? I stay with 10.

Still refusing to let my older devices upgrade for no good reason? I stay with 10.

And a number of further reasons that make me refuse 11.

Or simply install a physical button.

Stackoverflow gets quickly steamrolled by AI.

We're not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.

I agree that it's not great that telemetry is shared, but to say that you buy it "just" to share your data is an exaggeration. I am sure you do useful things with it.

That said, yes, it is bloated and I wish you could really turn off all telemetry. Am totally with you on that.

The way mobile providers charge. The likes of Vodafone, any random Telecom, T-Mobile and so forth. It's a huge scam, bordering theft sometimes. Want samples? Here we go:

"Your credit expires in x days. Better recharge now to not lose it!" (Banks should start doing this /s)

"Your credit has expired. Better give us more money within our generous deadline, or else we are forced to delete your number. We love you."

"Your data has expired. We now charge you a horrendous amount every minute, because we are too greedy to warn you in time. For technical reasons we also cannot stop you from using data after your allowance has been used. Fortunately you still have credit, huh?"

"Your data expires today. We don't insult your intelligence by telling you when. Surely you remember when you bought the package, right? It's not hard to count 24 hours. We also do not send any SMS anymore to save the environment."

"Your data has expired. You need data to buy a new bundle. Our app charges data for our convenience."

"Social media data only works for WhatsApp, but not for Signal. But who uses Signal anyways?"

"Use our customer friendly support chat. Conveniently it uses data. 'Hello, I am your smart bot speaking. How can I help you? I might understand you if you type one of the three questions I have been programmed to answer. Do you want to know more about our products?'"

Edit: added point 2, minor corrections for clarity

I want this.

So bad.

Endless Sky found it's way onto my device recently.

Speak for yourself. I intend to live forever.

Sure.

Doesn't change the situation, though. We give up talking and fighting, nothing's going to change.

Just so it's all clear. We don't want to be ambiguous about that.

It's not like Firefox doesn't collect user data at all. Vivaldi is hard to seriously fault in that area.

Unfortunately, Firefox lacks some features that make it a little clumsy at times. But for general use it is great. I keep it installed and use it almost every day because I believe in the browser engine and the need for diversity in that area. It's just not for every need. At least not for me. That's where Vivaldi and Edge have to help.

I'd venture out there and say Vivaldi in functionality and customisation.

Privacy probably not, though Vivaldi does quite well.

Sadly it's a Chromium browser.

Edit: a simple comparison.

Chromium - and thus Google - dominates the Internet way too much. This causes trouble and has the potential to cause a lot more trouble in the future.

This has been discussed many times before, of course.

Of course they did. Not like anything important is at stake.
