    The Stuff of Nightmares: Windows App That Scans User Files, Incorporates Biometrics, Doesn’t Need an Account, and Can’t Be Uninstalled

    I remember you mentioning this a while back and recently gave it a shot. Cool stuff for sure. Definitely helps streamline the install and takes out a lot of the headaches with all the crap MS keeps adding during install.

    The Stuff of Nightmares: Windows App That Scans User Files, Incorporates Biometrics, Doesn’t Need an Account, and Can’t Be Uninstalled

    Oh, Windows 11, we barely know thee, but it seems you may know far more about us than we ever wanted you to, and your hunger for more personal data is as insatiable as ever. Perhaps the biggest contribution of cell phone technology isn’t its ability to provide mobile communication, tracking no...

    Halo: Campaign Evolved Gets a Sluggish Start on Steam but Manages Third Place Among Popular Releases

    I agree that Steam's numbers can be a mixed bag, but they do often seem to end up mirroring the industry as a whole, whereas MS will claim successes but then counter itself later on with a "where did the money go" type scenario leading to layoffs. Intel did similar tactics for about a decade...
