  • Duo to the way Crytopad works please remember to add a “Don’t want to say” answer to questions with radio buttons, since you cannot deselect them meaning you can’t back out of questions you don’t want to answer. Hit me up if you wanna do that survey again. I’ll gladly help you with structuring and formatting




  • Tbf I do this too but sometimes Windows will shut down after an update and next time I start it it will “configure my PC”, restart once more and then show me the login screen. Doesn’t even take 5 tho. The worst thing however is when I start my laptop and login, just for Windows to decide it’s updating rn. However this is usually happening at work so I suspect that the update server on the domain pushes an urgent security update that can only happen once a user logged in. Still super annoying but doesn’t take more than 5 minutes.



  • I still have a Samsung Ultrabook Series 9 with Windows 7 Ultimate laying around. Buddy is over 10 years old and works in a pinch as a replacement device. It’s always a pleasure opening it and seeing the custom login screen

    I wish I could upgrade it with a USB-C and more RAM but Samsung was really anti consumer back then…





  • As a general purpose USB (which not only works great for daily use as a thumb drive but also works with no issues as Linux Live or persistent USB) I can recommend the Sandisk Ultra line. I had them everywhere from 16GB to 128GB. They never let me down. The housing might look like it’s made from flimsy plastic but it’s surprising sturdy.

    A second drive I’m currently preparing for use as a persistent Linux drive is the Samsung portable SSD T7. It’s nice and sturdy and the USB C to USB C interface allows me to easily run it on my Laptop without using up any of my precious USB A ports.
