  • Same here in Canada. I think its legitimate learners. Not sure why you think age has anything to do with it, theres no max age to learn to drive. Hell, my late grandma didn’t get her licence/learners permit until she was in her 60s.

    Could be related to an influx of immigrations as well, plenty of people didn’t have the luxury to get a drivers licence or own a vehicle.

    That or people are just too lazy to remove them haha.


    • No shitty P2W mechanic bullshit.
    • Full game on release.
    • no always online requirement.
    • not completely unplayable at launch tripple A title.
    • content amount is worth its purchase value.
    • community mod support, which drives improvements and long term playability.
    • Development transparency on what the game is and where its headed.

    Does it have bugs, of course, nothings perfect.

    Can’t say too many games on the scale of BG3 came out this year that can check as many boxes. It takes GotY for me as well personally.




  • 1: there is, but at this point its pretty niche and scattered. Lots of its hush-hush due to like you said potential security/insurance concerns. Mostly used for cracking and getting system/diagnostics readouts and error codes, Fob cloning, etc. without forking out cash to do so through the so called “proper channels”.

    2: not that I’ve seen, and from they software they do use it seems mainly in house additions.

    Though im not super into the scene, and i see it growing rapidly over the next few years seeing manufacturers keep doing some scummy shit to lock down their products.

    Edit: fat fingered post before i finished typing it out oops.

    You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

    Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

    Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.





  • (Mostly) mandatory Microsoft account sign-in.

    • yea you can just create a local account lol.

    Setup screen asking you about data collection and telemetry settings.

    • so just like some current Linux GUIs and installs that also ask this. Same with MacOS

    A (skippable) screen asking you to “customize your experience.”

    • just press skip like any other OS that asks.

    A prompt to pair your phone with your PC.

    • also skipable, and isnt even asked on a local account setup.

    IDK man win11 is pretty simple to “debloat” and most of the shit in this article that they complain about is common on multiple Linux, Apple, android, etc. setup/install processes.

    Win11 is dogshit for a variety of reasons, like the shitty new start menu formatting/lay out. The god awful menu nesting. The laggy audio panel. The list goes on.

    If we’re gonna be nitpicking an OS. Atleast nitpick shit that actually impacts operation and isnt also common on many OS’

    Edit: alright some of you keep spinning this as me defending dog shit windows 11… i never did nor did i state it was a good OS. Bunch of over zealous wierdos.
