I haven’t heard of either, let me check if I can run those with my user profile and not break anything I need to log on to our corporate network in the process.
Not that I’m aware of, but I’ll double check.
I tried and it doesn’t update, even after a clean reboot with no browser open whatsoever. However I did find another entry in the Firewall that comes up right on boot, which is a service called MS.Edge.Webview2, which seems to be triggered through the Teams App. I’ve now completely uninstalled Teams, and after a fresh boot the ad (or “media control”) seems to be gone now. Guess I’ll be using Teams from my phone or via browser in the future.
Thought of that as well, but all ads are blocked and I get this popup even with the browser closed and after a full reboot (not just suspend and reactivate), so it must happen on system level, I assume. Checked my run on startup applications and services, and they appear to be clean as well.
Oh nice, thanks! Will give it a shot.
I have disabled and uninstalled it, but office 365 still enforces it as the default save as location, so now when I use the dialogue, the system hangs for 30 seconds. Even disabled it in the policy management, but no dice.
Just sign up for their API and use chatboxai.app (free software), use the GPT4 API code, and you’ll use the model through an alternative front-end for pennies on the dollar.
I’m using it extensively and rarely spend more than 1,20 - 1,50 a month.
Aren’t they regulated in some way or other? I had problems with them in Europe (travel a lot for work, including some African and Central Asian countries) and they blocked me when I tried to buy something while in Nigeria. Fair play, common scam hotspot.
But no matter what I did to prove my identity after returning, they wouldn’t unblock my account. So instead I sent a complaint to the CSSF (the FED of Luxembourg, where they got their European banking license) and within days I had the head of compliance from their HQ in Ireland on the phone telling me that my account was open again and practically begging me to drop the complaint.
They had their servers seized, but were later returned and the service came back as mega.nz, legit and all.
I can’t wait to see the site formerly known as Twitter to go out of business.
Discord is great for casual chatting. Was it ever intended to be a forum though? For that use case, it’s completely impractical.
Yeah I’ll try eventually, but I got another Laptop running Xubuntu just fine, so I just don’t really use the Surface at all. It’s more of a last resort for the time being, and for that, any OS will do.
Excellent choice of music. Though I gotta say I even prefer their older albums when they sounded less refined. Same with Ensiferum, over time they just got a bit too polished for my taste.
I have a Surface Notebook 2 and for the life of me can’t get Ubuntu (or Xubuntu in my case) to work with it. No matter which installation style I use, either it crashes during the installation or never boots into the bootloader. Eventually I installed some custom Arch, but I hate it.
They might give you the possibility to opt out thanks to living in the EU, the OP might not be as lucky.
Sure, I’d take that over ads anytime.
I stopped bothering with sticks the moment you could get 1TB SSDs for less than 100 bucks. They are hardly larger than a stick at this point, and with USB-C 3.2 also pretty damn fast.
Just catch everything in the background, play the full ad on mute, and when the ad segment is coming up in the stream you are actually watching, switch to the cached copy. Shouldn’t be too hard to program.
Without the buyout, the company would have failed even earlier. Doesn’t help the employees either.
