Windows 10: What's Something You Change in...

Name something in Windows, or other OS, system or just anything on a computer where you remember vividly thinking, "damn, maybe I shouldn't" or "I Hope I don't regret this" , "Cross fingers". Etc.

I just found out Nvidia and Microsoft bricked my GPU because I had not been aware of PCI passthrough and it's ..... shortcomings in a Virtual Environment.

Which really is the Root source for a lot of my struggles it seems...

Windows be quick to say "There's something IMPORTANT you should read here if you just have a moment to ....." And later u realize maybe that wasn't an AD you just closed instinctually , or come back to haunt later

Other things I regret was force syncing some experiential settings in chrome os, while playing around with Chronos and Termux with apparently the wrong user... every Google service I used for about 2 years was always waiting for new oAuth keys or some stuck , waiting or SIGKILL string I'd never see.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
