  • I am talking out of my butt here, but I read a related book, “Man After Man”, by the same author, when I was a kid, and it stuck with me, so many years later when Amazon became a thing, I tried to find it and his other books. I wound up in a rabbit hole of Google that suggested that he does some of the art and was discredited for it? At least. I think I remember something like that. Man After Man was trippy though.

    Edit: Googled a bit, can’t find reference to this now. Maybe I’m wrong? It could happen, in theory.



  • I don’t know if this will show up or is already in the list, but: Rufus. I burn all my thumb drives for os installs with Rufus. It also lets me bypass a lot of the windows garbage that they’ve tracked on to the installer, like making you sign in to a Microsoft account to install. Also, Ventoy. It’s a multiple OS installer, so one big thumb drive lets me install any number of OSes from it.

    While I’m setting up those OSes, ninite gets me my windows programs, and Snappy Driver Installer Origin gets me my drivers. No more laptops with pre-installed bloat for me!
