Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 if you don't plan to be backing up your laptop regularly, I wouldn't do full-disk encryption, though I do like it
I don't even know how to do that

yeah, I figured it might prompt you
if not, dw
I honestly don't know
probably
I've only ever used WinProfessional
Also wtf
that is the thinest most gangly power cord I've seen for a laptop
maybe it's just the camera, it just looks surprisingly thin, I'm impressed
it is very thin
I think 1mm diameter
maybe 1.5
Is there stuff I should be careful about using this optimizer
don't want to accidentally brick my pc
no and really if you don't care you should only be turning off telemetry and any windows services you don't care about
I remember most of the settings being pretty straightforward
Well, I disabled telemitry and some misc stuff like cortana and copilot
I am just going to manually uninstall apps, I trust myself to do that more than using this
I did
I hit most of the restore classic stuff
since I am mostly familiar with 7 and 10
are you talking about folder tabs Leg?
Uninstalling the pre packaged mcaffe lol
oh yeah, fuck that
I do dislike how since Windows 7, it's been really hard to universally change sort defaults in explorer
Lmao at it trying to make me run things as apps
taskbar was full of apps to download via the microsoft store
yeah, don't fuck with anything from the Windows store
UWP versions are worse and often behind the normal version you get off the web
winget stuff is getting better, and some is ok
usually 1st party MS stuff is fine that way
Almost done my uninstalls, then I can install the 3 or 4 things I actually need
What do you mean by tabs
okay
I mean, I'd keep animations on
I think they're pretty useful
I mostly cared about undoing what retarded changes they made from 10 I could, and removing bloat tbh
right click menu is 90% of what I think is bad
you can easily change most other stuff in appearance settings
the AI snapshopt thing they're relling out will be opt-in, and just disable telemetry in general
Idk what the rightclick one is since I changed it before even checking, and taskbar left align was the first thing I did lol
there's some minor stuff that's worse, sound settings and volume mixer etc.
but it's not as big a deal
First time setting up a pc in 6 years lol
I kept notepad
fuck that, they had wordpad for that
notepad should always be 100% basic
