I can’t believe people buy cheap trash that would be sold on Temu.
But here we are, people buy cheap ass trash off Temu. If China started picking through the trash we shipped them and sold it back to us on a site like Temu, something tells me people would still buy it.
I installed the app, did initial setup, then forced it to never update, shut off internet access, and disabled notifications. Still seeing the discount nearly 3 years later.
In the last 6 months:
I don’t want, or need, this add-on garbage.
MS PowerToys has a Search feature that works like Mac Finder called PowerToys Run… And it works as you’d expect it. I’ve largely started using that over the standard windows search, and the difference is hitting win + space
(default: alt + space
) instead of win
before typing my search.
Surprise! You’ve been acquired by Amazon!
OP mentioned this also happened outside in the parking lot and was implying active blocking.
There’s ways for stores to work with telecoms to get service broadcast inside the warehouse/building as well to get around the natural passive blocking from the building materials.
I was well aware of the difference between active and passive blocking.
This is more likely a coverage issue than Walmart illegally blocking wireless signals (per to FCC regulations).
Report the coverage issue to Verizon and your local Walmart. Both of which will want to increase coverage of where people are gathering. This is because if bad coverage areas are in places where people gather this will cause affected people to switch services or stop going to those gathering areas if there’s alternatives.
Do one of the following:
I’d personally use option 1, but you do you.
There’s one feature that win11 has over win10 that I wish was there, and that’s the default layout manager is superior to windows 10’s, and less fidgety and better hotkeys than what’s offered with Power Toys. Especially vertical monitor support, which win10s layout manager never got an update for. And as a Tie-Fighter monitor setup user (4k portrait, WQHD landscape, 4k portrait) having an effective layout manager is crucial.
However, there’s 3rdParty layout managers that are even better than the win11 implementation. Butt to be able to get the default support of an effective layout manager is quite nice.
That said, that’s the only feature I really like aside from some nominal improvements/optimizations to background systems (network stack, Bluetooth management, “game mode”) and services. That’s not enough for me to transition when there’s so many other things that were done to make it a worse experince.
I’m excited to transition my personal desktop to PopOS once win10 reaches EoL. Maybe Valve will drop their latest SteamOS in time for the Win10 EoL hoping to attract all those gamers on non-TPM 2.0 supported systems that are still great gaming rigs. I know I’d at least give it a go.
Nah, I don’t even want the results where people are talking about the cesspit.

Yeah, composite & RCA are synonymous with eachother. IIRC it’s the difference between the connector name & cable name similar to rj-4 connector l/port vs cat-# cables.
These are the cables I was familiar with way back then.
Yes, I had a TV in the 80s that had vhf/uhf tuning dials and coax as well since it was “cable ready”. It was also oddly setup with the coax input directly below the uhf/vhf standoffs. So anything you connected to it got in the way of interacting with the coax in. And if the coax you used had a wide nut for threading on it could wind up touching the prongs on the uhf/vhf inputs feet causing fun interference.
Transitional era technology is fun like that.
HDMI/Composite to coax convertor if that TV was recent enough to be “cable ready”, otherwise you’ll then need a coax uhf/vhf/fm adapter in the chain.
IIRC, back in the day, there were even composite-to-vhf adapters, but I can’t seem to find any currently sold so either my memory is lying to me or they’re no longer produced.
I’m an American, I won’t get the luxuries of the EU court rulings.
And you’ll have a choice to not install them. Or to install versions that you know how they were trained and have guardrails you approve of.
I could agree on the /s
being sardonic over sarcasm. With how irony has been slowly redefined over the years I can see how people could preceieve why that would be a sarcastic statement and accepted as such, cus language changes over to time and whatnot.
