Thank you, this is the sort of thing I was trying to point out. And I love how he ignored all my other points just to focus on this one ISO or installer he’s using over and over again to “prove” that he’s right.
Funny part is, I never said it was the default in the original post anyway. The whole point is, if it’s turned on, you may want to turn it off.
There is also a registry hack for this but I have not looked into it or tested it. (And I agree with your sentiments re: Microsoft.)
First of all I believe you are incorrect.
You’re doing a single anecdotal “test” from (I assume) one copy of the installation media. News flash, not all installation images of Windows 11 are the same.
And I will answer your anecdotal evidence with some anecdotal evidence of my own: almost every friend and coworker I’ve asked about this says Autoplay is on. And when I check Google or ChatGPT, they confirm that a fresh install of Windows 11 will have it on by default. So…I guess everyone else is wrong about this but you’re right about every installation of Windows 11.
Secondly, your question ignores the fact that people should probably check to see if it’s on. It can get turned on accidentally or even by an update. Microsoft is constantly messing arbitrarily with user preferences and settings with their weekly updates. You do know that, right?
Finally, you posted some version of this same reply multiple times in this thread. Why? Are you just doing that to “get upvotes for fun”?
BTW, there’s no karma on lemmy…upvotes don’t matter.
It’s fine to correct someone, but first do a better job of checking your methodology, and second, don’t assume their motivations for trying to share helpful info.
Think of it as a seatbelt. You don’t plan on crashing your car, but shit happens. It’s even possible a brand new USB drive from a “reputable” company could have something on it.
If the frog starts singing the Ozempic song, do you punch it across the room?
Yes, I have noticed a lot of activity in that community! I do some resin printing myself. Most folks in there appear to be using filament, but I’m grateful they are so active.
It’s not too surprising that some dedicated DIY 3d printing “maker” type people gravitate towards the fediverse.
I’d love to see more users / activity in the non-political niche and hobby communities. That’s my holiday wish.
Glad you sorted it!
The DeDrm plugin and the most recent Calibre worked for me just yesterday on a brand new book. Something that’s easy to miss is that you need to put in the serial number of your kindle device and make sure you download the e-book for that same device. Otherwise the plugin won’t be able to decrypt it.
It’s a really nice app. Very customizable.
I’m glad you mentioned airplane mode. I noticed something interesting about my Kindle after I set up a Pi Hole on my home network. The kindle would constantly try to connect to the Amazon mothership. Because the Pi Hole was blocking it, it would try it over and over again and this quickly depleted the batteries (maybe trying to boost it’s WiFi signal? I’m not sure). Putting it into Airplane mode helps preserve battery life noticeably, back to what it was before I installed the Pi Hole.
Yup, making a DRM-free backup somewhere is the only way to protect the content you paid for from the whims of the overlords.
Happy Prime Day to the GROUND!
Depressing and true.
I have been in the corporate desk jockey world for too long. So much of what people do every day in the white collar world is just performative bullshit. David Graeber wrote about it better than I can describe it.
Someone wants to summon Durin’s Bane.
General population: I do agree with you. They’d be looking at the next shiney new celebrity scandal or whatever. But there would also be some people who would act like a dog with a bone and not lose interest in the aliens. Scientists and UFOlogists and such.
I agree. “Q: Into the Storm” is the only thing that addresses part of it (that I’m aware of).
A skeptic will seek more information. A cynic will just shit on it first and maybe (probably not) ask questions later.
I prefer lemmys to lemmings, but I think we got out voted.
I won’t claim it’s the equivalent of the Bambu Labs FDM printer, because I’ve never done FDM printing.
On top of that, I’m only familiar with the one resin printer I’ve used.
Anyway, it’s an Anycubic Photon Mono X 4k. I’ve had really good luck with it, and I’ve printed over 200 miniatures and other things. I’ve had some failed prints but they were almost always my fault for doing something dumb, and there haven’t been that many overall. I’m guessing easily less than 5%.
I wouldn’t recommend the exact same model as mine, because they have newer ones (like an 8k version of mine and some others).
But I would definitely recommend the Anycubic Photon line as worth looking into. Read some reviews & watch some videos.
Good luck!
