Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Time to Uninstall Edge”.
Is it time to uninstall Edge in order to comply? This is weird in order to comply with the EU digital markets act. Microsoft will soon allow Windows, 10 and 11 users in the European economic area. Oh man really to uninstall all windows apps, including camera photos Edge and even Bing windows, will likewise respect apps default browsers and allow users to choose if they want their Microsoft account to sync data across devices. So our discussion question here is so: when are you setting your location to Hungary and deleting all of this stuff yeah? I wonder I wonder how specific they’re going to be about um like detecting, if you’re, on a VPN and and like undoing stuff.
If you fall off of it or something like that, a q1 William G is what we’re aiming for for the Precision go ahead. Uh but yeah like I, I that would be interesting because if, if you can just like set your location or VPN out or something like that, um, oh yeah, I would absolutely do that. Oh, my goodness, there’s no way that this is not going to be possible to spoof.
It’S got to be like someone’s gon na, come up with a p hole like a p hole thing where you just reroute everything from from that machine like it like and like. Even if you had to go as far as to have another virtual interface or something like that, you wouldn’t even need another physical interface. You would just have to take um like I would imagine it would operate, probably similarly to the way that people will alter their um uh, which file is it like host name file or whatever it is? When you’re trying to go to pirated activation servers, you know what I’m talking about right. What’S that what’s a long time, I don’t, I know what you’re talking about.
I don’t remember the last time that I tried to Pirate Windows. It just doesn’t really come up a lot now that you can yeah host file there you go, so I would imagine that there’s something along those lines that someone will figure out and will be able to just kind of go yep. I’M finished now finished with this [ Applause ] a thanks for acknowledging me. It was pretty good, uh yeah or it could be a registry change or something like that.
I’M I’m I’m pretty excited, though, because I just I don’t know why it. It shouldn’t bother that how to uninstall Windows apps like. Why does it bother me that you know I open, I don’t know a PDF or something, and it opens in the edge reader, because I haven’t set it up to open in something else on this machine. It’S just like no, I just I just never actually want to see this application. Jaden brings up a really good point of like where, where does this stop company-wise like this just hit Microsoft, uh but Jaden specifically said: will this apply to Samsung phones, too um? My goodness, this being able to work on phones would be amazing. I might actually end up going back to Samsung.
I really liked Samsung back in like the S3 days um, but then a lot of the Samsung specific software that you can’t get rid of. I hate it so much that I like won’t, go back, but if they made it so you could actually get rid of it and you could get it back more towards a stock Android experience. There’S some Sam Samsung phones that are really nice yeah’, be I wonder if Samsung has a dominant enough position that they would go after them for this, but either way like good guy EU. I feel like every other week we’re talking about something cool that the EU is doing to finally crack down on these Tech monopolies and keep them from abusing their position like where what, when did the US government lose their fangs and Claws yeah? They they they slashed.
Microsoft super super super hard, never touched it again. They they ripped apart AT .
