I think I’ve managed to avoid this by making the Linux drive my boot drive and by leaving the Windows drive untouched. (i.e. grub bootloader on the Linux drive, with option to boot to Windows as the second choice)

Google has been telegraphing this for months. Either switch browsers now or enjoy your ads.
I also recommend NewPipe for Android. It lets you download in multiple formats and shows comments in a mobile format (you can get it through the F-Droid store or from github.)
Youtube isn’t some one of a kind miracle. There’s at least a dozen already-established streaming platforms that would take its place. There are thousands of websites that have no problems hosting gigs and gigs of porn, so it’s not as difficult as people think.
The scam involving the fake CFO was only discovered when the employee later checked with the corporation’s head office.
A surprise teleconference resulting in the transfer of $25 million dollars? You can bet your ass I’m going to verify that transaction by calling the CFO on his direct line before any money is sent.
I heard the number 6 is a lucky number in Chinese culture and that explains why there are so many Chinese companies with 6 letter names, like “Dingbo” and “moofoo” It seems to me like they just used a random letter generator.
Yeah, but think of all the money Amazon saved by not hiring customer service reps. Lol.
Ads are a way for companies to steal your life from you. 60 seconds at a time.
What the heck IS Copilot?
I hate articles that tell you, "Blorp is amazing! Blorp is coming out in 3 days! Everybody should have Blorp! Don’t miss out on Blorp!’
Musk only buys things that he thinks will keep his name in the news, and he’s always looking for that next bong-hit of attention.
Nobody likes him. Nobody cares about him. And he makes it so obvious WHY with his racist, apartheid bullsh*t.
Libre Office completely takes care of my Office needs.
If you’re taking illegal performance enhancers to get you through your work day, then whatever you’re doing there isn’t worth it.
I already tried an Amazon Fire tablet, Amazon. No thanks. I returned it. I don’t need a locked-down console that spies on me. Windows is well on its way to becoming that already.
Serving up unblock-able ads is just a small part of what this DRM will do. It will be used to track you, as well. VPNs will be useless because the tracking won’t be done through your IP address, but through your browser, identified by DRM and tied to your Google account.
That’s what this is really all about. They want to know who you are, where you are, where you go, what you see, what you buy, and who you associate with. And don’t think for a moment that Google won’t hand this information over to any government officials who are looking for an excuse to abuse you. Forcing you to watch ads is just the icing on the cake.
Yup. This won’t be used just to serve up unblocksble ads. If you’re signed in to Google, this DRM will be used to track you, as well. VPNs will be useless because the tracking won’t be done through your IP address, but through your browser, identified by DRM and tied to your Google account.
That’s what this is really about. Knowing who you are, where you are, where you go, what you see, what you buy, who you associate with. Forcing you to watch ads is just the icing on the cake.

If you don’t know how a 3500 dollar investment works, then the head scan is just a formality, proving that you have more money than brains.
I’ve got two separate drives. Linux Mint on an SSD and Windows 10 on an older, mechanical drive. Leave the Windows drive alone. Make the Linux drive the first drive in your BIOS boot order, with the option to boot to Windows as your second drive.
If your GRUB menu doesn’t show the Windows drive yet, run “sudo update-grub” to detect it. When your reboot, the bootloader should show both options.
