If you have a factory pixel, you don't need to root. You can unlock bootloader and install a rom that has it (calyxos or grapheneos I know have them). You can root, but you don't have to.

Didn't know that. Just been manually rebooting. This is is much easier and more secure. Thanks!

Is this different than Charging Control? I'm on 7 Pro CalyxOS and have been using that since I was on 4 XL [a couple years ago]. I figured it was AOSP...

Edit: added a cleared timeline.

And if you "block" it through GPO, it only blocks the user accessible button. The thing still collects data, digests it, and ships it off to Microsoft. I tried replacing the exe with a blank file, taking all permissions to my user and denying to SYSTEM. Update replaced it. Honestly, though, this feature of Update is a good one (fixing/replacing corrupted files). Just wish it didn't mess replace my ai.exe file lol

There was talk about teleporting a photon, but it was a mathematically possible (but technologically impossible) theory. A whole human is a pipedream.

I saw the name, and immediately thought, "sweet! Another kde tool!" Then finished reading the title lol Looks like a good editor nonetheless

Edit: requires access to manage storage, which is excessive for a text editor. Pretty sure it has to do with its other features, which is fine, but I don't feel comfortable with this type of access for any third party app. If you're fine with this access, Xed/Karbon really looks useful. I might add it to my coding tablet.

Not really fear mongering, when Microsoft has proven that the "for now" is held up. Like the whole Recall fiasco. They canceled it "for now", and now it's published. Their "for now" is actually "for just right now, until heat subsides". Microsoft can go suck on a tailpipe.

I don't agree with all of this. I agree with the investigation. I agree with the ban. I don't agree with waiting for anything. Ban it, irrespective of the investigation. It's a cesspool, and no investigation is going to fix that.

Edit: autocorrect.

GPT4All and Jan.AI are good places to start.
