    in the latest preview build

    i assume you didn’t install today’s beta release a month ago 😉

    EDIT: nevermind, i re-read your comment… it’s mandatory in some regions, I know for sure it’s mandatory in the US and in Hungary (EU).

    One other thing is that if you created the installer with Rufus, that adds some magic optionally that can bypass it. I wonder if that still works with this beta.




  • For me, as an SRE:

    • Mullvad VPN
    • Google Drive (until I set up my NAS)
    • YouTube Premium
    • ChatGPT (but I am thinking of trying out Claude 3 instead)

    Other, non-tech subscriptions:

    • Public transport
    • Public bike sharing
    • Food delivery

    Things I might pay for if my employer didn’t:

    • IntelliJ Ultimate
    • GitHub Copilot

    Random IT-adjacent services I occasionally donate to:

    • Codeberg
    • Wikipedia



  • Also, USB4 can optionally support PCIe tunneling, which is a fancy way of saying it supports plugging more advanced types of hardware in (like GPUs, high-speed network cards or NVMe SSDs) at speeds of up to 40Gbps.

    And there is USB4 v2 (not kidding, that’s the name) which extends USB4 to up to 80Gbps, but there are no devices that support that yet.
