Thank you. I saw it and immediately went to Miles Axelrod.

It does come pre-installed on some computers depending on the provided OS and the changes made by the manufacturer. If you install your own fresh version of windows, it should only be installed if windows believes you need it for the component to function.

My last pre-built came with a bunch of garbage before I wiped it with a fresh copy of windows and almost all went away. I would certainly not say Intel is the worst though, older dell machines and even relatively modern HP machines come with a bunch of "necessarily for the component to function" garbage that can't really be uninstalled easily (windows will reinstall them).

A few years ago I replaced our electric furnace with a heat pump which also gave us AC. Overall the yearly bill went up because we now had AC, but winter months usage is almost half of what it was before. Only matching on the extra cold days where the backup heat kicks in.

I, for one, am shocked, shocked that defenders of Russia are still using the same easily disproven lies to justify invading, occupying, and murdering a neighboring country.

It's not like Russia has a history of lying about its military operations in Ukraine or anything, right?

Balatro is super good if you haven't played it yet. It's the passion project of one guy that feels more cohesive than some AAA games I've played
