Some recent asus ROG/TUF 2022+ models have fine tuning available via "armoury crate" or "g-helper" (non-proprietary, fan/community supported, code on github).

Disabling a dGpu and reducing power can yeld some impressive results for battery life. Allows also defining fan speed curves depending on temperature.

Would be safer to just change your passwords. If they are old, even better to change them right now.

And if someone doubts this, remember the Mirai botnet.

And then Blizzard updated the user agreement (around the Warcraft 3 Reforged), mentioning that all player generated content is owned by the company.

So in case some genius comes with another successful custom map (or whatever), the company has new ideas to work on, for free.

I wonder if any Adobe users have tried some other options for some programs (Gimp, Inkscape, Krita), and if suits their needs.

Most of the time you buy a one time license to use the software, which is tied to your account and platform.

Why not give this benefit as well to Salesforce employees?

There are some apps (like Intra) which allow you to connect to a built-in (cloudflare, google) or custom DoH server (your own or other providers which support DoH).

Nextdns have their own app for this as well.

For android 9 or higher there should be an option in network settings.

Tried to lookup some info, but it's not there. Maybe it's from some web scrapper which collected public info, or other means (some ambiguous mobile app which had access to contacts?). Or the leaked files are incomplete.

Yep, this has happened when putting it into Sleep mode. Might as well happen in Hybrid Sleep. And in advanced power settings you can disable wake timers, but I'm not sure if it helps.

Tried automating the removal of scheduled tasks (like the Compatibility runner which made the laptop sound like an airplane) and snoozed the updates for a few weeks. In the end, it broke the Scheduler, the task was still launching, and had to reset the OS to a proper state. It's a love and hate relationship with this OS.
