I drive, but most of the time I ride a bike, skateboard, or walk because driving is mostly just more frustrating on average.
Still overpriced and they're actively working to make it shittier and shittier. Keep eXTrAcTiNg VaLuE Spez!
Remember all those idiots who thought this administration was actually going to make good on their promise to legalize it?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
They pull that wild bullshit and users will drop like flies lol, AND there would STILL be ways around it both in terms of tech/coding as well as old fashioned methods.
I am the IT department, but have had mostly good experiences with FOSS stuff, although you do need to vet the licensing: Not all licenses will allow for a company or institution to use it.
Also, you need to make sure it will work reliably, doesn't pose any security risks, etc. but that should always be SOP for any software FOSS or proprietary, free or paid. If a tech department isn't vetting stuff, then they've already fucked up before deploying anything.
FOSS isn't necessarily bad in an enterprise environment though, sometimes it's even the best possible option (most web servers run some version of Linux, for example).
There's also Greenshot if people dislike the built in stuff, it's free, open source, and works pretty well.
It depends on how the app you were using was written. If it was written correctly, it'll work, if not, blame the company that made it (especially when it's Microsoft themselves!).
Power Toys has a feature that will force it to work in every app, I highly recommend it! There's all sorts of helpful features in Power Toys.
The second they seriously figure out ad blocking, everyone will figure out ways around it including the ytdownload app and Ublock Origin. This has already happened probably hundreds of times. There will never be a way to stop it because there are myriad ways around it.
They are approaching the issue from the wrong direction: They need to make the service better, not worse, and they will make more money! Steam/Valve is an excellent example of this because of their CEO's philosophy on "piracy", he views it as a service issue with the product itself instead of blaming people who are fed up with bad service and high prices.
Taking the approach of trying to extract more value out of customers ultimately kills the product, driving customers away and hurting profits compared to what they could have had if they'd just made a really great product with ads that aren't onerous, prices that are reasonable, as well as adequate compensation and treatment for the creators (nobody gets randomly demonitized on Steam because they featured a particular thing for example).
Power Toys FTW!
I can believe it: Stuff like this is not very well advertised to users so tons of useful shortcuts go unused regularly.
Bonus hotkeys:
WIN + X will also bring up a more helpful menu and allow you to do things like shut down, restart, sleep the computer using only a few keystrokes instead of clicking around.
WIN + right or left arrow will snap the screen to one side or the other, WIN + up maximizes, WIN + down will minimize
