  1. I got really tired of Mass Effect Legendary Edition breaking every other week because of the "EA App" crapware. If you're looking for a fix, "Mass Effect Legendary Edition nocd" is a pretty nice search query.

  6. I’m going back to my original love🍎Apple🍏.

    Ancient history: I fell in love🥰 with the Apple IIe waaaay back in the early 80’s. Even tho it was monochrome (green on black) it was Superior to my Commodore at home 🏡 in almost all aspects. Thru the years I have happily & successfully supported whatever cheap HW & crap💩ware that other vendors produced, i.e. Atari, IBM, M$, Intel, Google, Alphabet … ¡no mas!

  8. New phone for my parents, and dealing with the registration for itsme and banking apps.

    Itsme requires this connective app on PC, it kept telling me it needed an upgrade, proceeded to 'install' it with a success message, and then gave back this same screen urging me to upgrade.

    Solution: uninstall it from Windows and let it do a fresh install. #crapware #itsme #connective

    I consider that #CRAPWARE
    DO NOT BUY IT

  18. Jag hatar Teams, av flera anledningar, en av dom är att jag får en intetsägande och vag notis om någon aktivitet som hänt, men när jag öppnar appen så är det tomt, varje gång.

    Det är sorgligt att alla föreningar och myndigheter tvunget måste använda skiten.

  23. I cannot fathom that, after the CrowdStrike debacle, gaming companies still force players to install kernel modules on their machines. It's a cybersecurity nightmare, and unless you have a dedicated gaming PC, you should definitely say no.

  31. This report about #Wacom graphics tablets is disturbing for a couple of reasons.

    1. They are surveilling users of their #tablet - a human-interface device analogous to a mouse or trackball - recording every application you open, or when you switch between windows of different applications. They are collecting this data via a trip through Google Analytics, aka Spyware Central. There is no possible way to justify collection of this particular data; it is none of their damn business how long you have your drawing program focused before switching to your browser and back again. The author notes their privacy policy really doesn't describe this collection of data correctly, so there really can't be informed consent in the first place.

    2. Why on earth is it possible in #Apple #OSX / #MacOS for a USB human interface device driver to capture this information in the first place? Apple shares a big slice of the blame here - this should just simply not be possible for the driver to collect in the first place. Having such a driver allowed to place outgoing HTTP requests is also a big "WTF are they thinking?" moment.
