Same. I gave up on Windows 11 and removed it. Too many issues, but the final straw was when they deleted GRUB after an update. I kept it around to play games but decided to play on Linux instead and it’s been good so far.
Also, I hated that I kept getting the screen trying to sell me their services after some updates…
Is there some kind of database for stuff like this, where people can report abusive products? That would be a great way to avoid such things while also naming and shaming companies who do it.
It was similar for me. I'd get migraines a few times a year. I couldn't find any food correlation, but it seemed to often happen the day after doing strenuous activity, sweating a lot and drinking a lot of water. I started to suspect it was related to lack of electrolytes, so I began taking electrolyte solution after running or any other sweaty activity. In the few years since then, the migraines have been much less frequent, and about half as intense.
I did that once. I wanted to go for a run, and I also wanted to buy some soup spoons from Ikea. So I ran to Ikea (about 4km away), and had to walk through the store all smelly and sweaty. It felt inconsiderate to the people around me. Then I ran home holding the spoons. Running while holding things is awkward. So there's two reasons. I haven't done that sort of thing since.
I do this sometimes, but usually for a few groceries. What I do is put a carrier bag in my pocket and do a gentle run to the shop so that I'm not too sweaty. Then walk home with the groceries in the carrier bag.
