Those are made from used HP cartridges, so they have a shorter life span.

No, those are just repackaged OEM cartridges. And usually they've already been used, which is why they're cheaper.

That might be the case for you. But if I search for USB mouse or keyboard on Amazon they're mostly USB A on the host end. And desktop PCs still have way more USB A than USB C ports. Macs are an exception.

You must be living in some (Apple?) bubble. Most new gaming mice and keyboards sold in 2026 use USB A. Not to mention all the older ones that still work.

Why, is there a better alternative to the PHP-based forums? (I tried Discourse and it sucks.)

That probably had nothing to do with LibreOffice. Lots of people have had their MS accounts locked for no reason. I guess the automatic abuse detection system just sucks. My advice is don't use a MS account if you can, at least not for

The command (oobe\bypassnro) still works in 25H2. There was some talk that they're going to remove it, but so far it hasn't happened.

Google and Apple's staff do look at people's photos, at least occasionally. The typical excuse is detecting rule violations. It's not the same as doing this systematically (like Meta here), but these are shades of gray. A ser

This is the ISO I used, which, according to the MS website[1], is still the latest right now: Win11_25H2_English_x64.iso (SHA256: D141F6030FED50F75E2B03E1EB2E53646C4B21E5386047CB860AF5223F102A32) I installed it offline in a VM, Home edition

Neither Home nor Pro really require a MS account. You can skip that during setup (for example with "bypassNRO"). This might change in the future, but as of 25H2 the workarounds still work.

I tried installing the latest 25H2 (stable iso) and nothing has changed so far. You can still use "bypassNRO" to set it up with a local account, offline. The planned changes will likely only affect the Home edition (Pro/Ent&#

That's not a fair take. The only things I noticed that were missing out of the box are the MS Store and some Dolby codecs. Both of those can be installed easily. I estimate that 95% of people would be fine with Windows 10 21H2 LTSC. Th

Yep, thanks for clarifying. So it's not such a good deal after all and it also means that a lot of regular people won't get those updates (because they either don't know how or can't be bothered to make an account).

It's crazy how unreliable CPUs have become in the last 5 years or so, both AMD and Intel. And it seems they're all running at their limit from the factory, whereas 10-20 years ago they usually had ample headroom for overclocking.

Are there similar examples from Europe or the West? I know there are restrictions for promoting Nazism in some countries, but the UK seems to be an outlier when it comes to censoring offensive content in general.
