It is possible (not fixed yet) to steal Skype account, knowing only Email of a victim! No need an access to mailbox. Skype allows to register several accounts for the same email without sending a confirmation link. As result, someone who knows your email, can register skype account for your email and steal your Skype account.
The problem is not fixed yet and known only in russian internet at the moment...
The only way to avoid this at the meoment is set a such primary email address, which nobody knows. I've maid an alias for hotmail account with GUID as a email.
"it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account"
Isn't the point of using an alternative to Google Chrome to specifically not use Google's products?
I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
Works fine here too.
About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft.
The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors...
Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.
