It may be cool, but it's an absolutely terrible video when you consider the fact that all companies (Microsoft included) really want is money.

Moving my response to this thread since it's getting off-topic from the original post.

Sadly, the internet as a whole has been transformed mainly into a platform for businesses and individuals to extract as much money from you as possible. The old days of niche little communities and interesting websites around the corners of the web are long gone it seems.

I've even fallen into the trap over the years where I only really interact with 4-6 websites on a daily basis and don't explore much or interact much.

• Youtube
• Gmail / Outlook email
• Google News
• Ars Technica
• Reddit
• Mangadex

Youtube has turned into my brain soup TV, I let it feed me constantly through the day where I'm served a string of consumer videos. Lately since I'm going to be moving into a new place later this year I've been getting nothing but "Desk Makeover", "Room Tour", and "Living Space Upgrade/Tour" videos that are nothing but people showing off all the random crap they have bought to fill up their living spaces.

Windows as an OS has continued to get worse over the years, I really only continue to use it due to being a Windows based sysadmin. But with Win11 introducing the AI screen capture features and other intrusive data mining features... I plan to make my main computer a Linux based system while keeping a secondary Windows system for when I need to use it.


I hope everyone is doing well, I'd like to post some more here in the future like I used to back in the day.

Have a nice weekend everyone
