Nicely said.
For a fair comparison with past data, the "unknown" entries should be excluded (likely non-human) and the user agent strings scanned for stale references (somebody that switches the agent to Firefox 120/Windows 11 will rarely update it to Firefox 153 on release date).

You can find this in Settings -> Gestures.

You are using "Quick Capture" (twist the wrist twice to open the camera). This requires the phone to be face-up and you tilt it a bit left and right.
The "Fast Flashlight" is next to it, and it is toggled by two chopping motions (if enabled). That is, hold the phone like a knife and whip it in a chopping motion.

On Windows, applications can usually install their own updater service that is set up to run with elevated privileges (noteworthy examples: Google Chrome, Adobe Reader, Lenovo Vantage/System update, etc.).
It is absolutely of no surprise that an antivirus that is rooted deep enough into the OS to be able scan every byte that goes through you storage devices and network cards, also installs an updater service ... which usually acts as a rootkit, listening for remote commands and updates, including removing itself and scheduling the silent launch of another package installer.

This proposal is a lot dumber than it looks, and AI is not yet smart enough to help.
Link sharing is restricted or forbidden on most platforms and message boards, and this never stopped bots from posting slightly mangled URLs by removing the domain or replacing the dots with * or DOT. It's enough to see dQw4w9WgXcQ to know where this is going.
Image sharing can be easily circumvented by uploading them to one of the billions of shoddy sites already available for harvesting and selling your random data, or even sending it as base64. For video ... they catch these guys with tens of terabytes of data - whoever has that amount, can probably also share it privately over a VPN connection, no third party clients involved.

So, which problem does this tries to solve?

I don't usually see Artix mentioned, but it's been lean and stable for me for the past 6 years (in a test environment, not as a daily driver).

I really hate to give the impression that Microsoft managed to do something right, but I think it's possible to uninstall the last update from the Recovery Environment (which appears automatically after 3 failed boots).

What about bundling OneDrive with Windows? Or Teams? Or Edge? Or Cortana? Or a useless store and apps?
All included by default, and it's nearly impossible to get rid of any of them. A waste of space, time, and computing power.

That didn't take long. A week maybe?
Stay tuned - this is soon coming to the Windows start menu.

No point in bringing it back: it would be full on most of the time. "Idle preload optimizations" or other such excuses ... them flash storage devices ain't gonna wear themselves down!

No no no. They already finished maiming the kernel ... and the Start menu, Explorer, Settings, etc.
The RGB stuff is just a bonus, because they have so much spare time. Pray they do not change the icons and window decorations again.

In which browser? Firefox's new NoScript add-on is a joke, and Chrome was always hostile towards it.

Maybe that's why Mozilla went to great lengths to remove it in the current version

Yeah, open source Windows. That would help, having 10 competing and incompatible distributions, out of which 3 are "rolling", 3 are "pay for support", 5 still include telemetry, and all are trying to switch between legacy init and systemd, while the sysadmins are bickering about it on /.

Your comment shall forever shine in the darkness amongst the last beacons of sanity. Thank you, AC!
