wow, for a seconds I thought you were mocking windows for not having some central software repo like linux uses apt-get, but it actually works o.O
TIL winget is a thing.

Upgrade all, wow. I knew about Winget install, but this is so good!! Thanks for the advice 😁

I'll be damned... Did not know that existed. I've never used the Windows store and it still found updates for most of what I have installed.

Thanks!

K saved this for more difficult times ✌️

It used to be when the US had a bit of market regulation still left. Now these super corps just lough their way to the bank while paying fines that are already included in the project. The US lost the fight against their corporations and people are suffering.

it used to be when microsoft had the biggest market share

The advantage is that you get to sell your data to Google instead of Microsoft, yay!

At work we have both, Edge and Chrome, and there actually are minor differences (that might well result from differences in the pushed settings, though). Like, when using our ticketing system, Edge loses the connection to the server after a period of inactivity and Chrome doesn't. Also, Chrome seems to be a little faster with script processing (subjectively, have never measured...). But otherwise, they're basically the same, just as you said.

It's an office computer. More or less it is a requirement.

I personally use firefox.

Yeah, we just let them fight like monkeys. Because what chrome does i double down on never using chrome ( or chromium based ) browsers.

More fun to hate Microsoft, though I personally do not like chrome as a browser

Because Edge is the default browser on the most widespread operating system. If you're using Chrome, you very likely already switched once and are better informed than someone encountering the message on Edge.

Right. This post is disingenuous because most users hit that cookie consent prompt on the previous search screen.

Granted, the top begging prompt is ridiculous on its own.

It is not mandatory in the EU if your site only uses cookies that are technically necessary. One only has to display a prompt for cookies that go beyond that, i. e. tracking cookies.

if you don't use tracking cookies, then you're not required to display the prompt, soooooo

It is suspiciously perfect size.

No javascripts and no css messing with your choice of font size?
