  1. My wife and I have used Expedia in the past. Though recently we decided to use Hotels.com to book a hotel for our upcoming trip to Atlanta, Georgia next month. I remember seeing the Expedia commercials on tv all the time growing up in the 00's. It's great that companies like this exist, it's always awesome getting good deals on flights and hotels especially if you travel a lot!
  2. Honestly it was a bit more relaxed than it is now. There were more NSFW subreddits, and a lot less people using it. Still a good number of people were using Reddit in 2013, but it's definitely grown since. There's a good number of controversial subreddits that were removed but were definitely still online when I first joined. There's a infamous incel forum that actually started on Reddit, but once their sub was shut down they moved to their own self hosted Xenforo installation.
  3. First, have you tried resetting your router? If you haven't I would advise you to reset it and see if this fixes the problem. Also make sure to reset your wifi adapter on your PC too if you haven't tried that yet. If you've done this, and you're still getting issues check to make sure your network adapter drivers are up to date or not corrupted. Sometimes updates can be interrupted and cause issues with different drivers. If your drivers are corrupted, you will need to have access to another computer in order to download the drivers. To check to see the network drivers installed on your Windows 11 PC, open up device manager. This will give you a list of all the drivers currently installed for any piece of hardware on your computer. From there on another device you can search Google to get the drivers from the manufacturer's website, download them onto a USB drive and connect the USB to your Windows 11 pc to install the drivers.
  4. I believe the new editing software is called Clipchamp. I've used it for a little bit, however I prefer DaVinci Resolve and honestly it's better than even Windows Movie Maker. I use to use Movie Maker when I first opened my Youtube channel up back in 2008 since I didn't have the money to get Sony Vegas which was the hottest editing software at the time.
  5. Kind of ironic that Firefox was the first browser to implement this feature and now they're removing it. I never really bothered with this feature much, so it doesn't affect me. It's better to use a VPN in today's world if you want to browse the internet privately. Brave already has a built in VPN in their browser, so it makes it pretty easy to browse privately on there.
  6. It's pretty easy to set up dual monitors. I currently only have one monitor, but when I first got my computer and monitor, the monitor came in first so I tested it with my laptop. All I did was plug in the monitor to the HDMI port on my laptop, and Windows easily detected it just fine. I made my monitor the primary screen with the laptop screen secondary. As for Linux, well I haven't tried that out yet. You might need to do a little more work to get dual monitors to work but it shouldn't be too difficult.
  7. It's kind of lame that Microsoft prevents you from uninstalling Edge. Then again, I suppose you could just pretend it doesn't exist and just set another browser to your default one. Still I think it's just another thing people don't like about Windows. Surely if the user doesn't want to use Edge and not have it take up space, they should be able to delete it.
  8. I don't think you can fully trust the AI to give you the proper code to make a site, I've heard of people using AI to help them and they still needed to go in and manually fix some code since it didn't work properly. I think there still needs to be a human checking things out to ensure things are proper.
  9. I haven't paid for VPN, I only use Proton's free VPN services. I have thought about paying for their service, since right now I can only connect to one server and it's still located in my country. That's the downside of using a free one I suppose. I know Youtubers have sponsorships for NordVPN and another one called AtlasVPN but funny enough it merged into Nord back in April. Surfshark is another one I see mention. Brave browser has a built in VPN that I haven't tried yet.
  10. I use Reddit daily! I'm currently close to unlocking a new streak, upvoting/downvoting content for 200 days in a row. I'm still a fan of traditional forums more, and it is sad to see that more people use Reddit for the discussions we're having here. I've been a member of Reddit for 11 years now. Most of the subs I visit are gaming related, and I'm part of subs based around local towns.
  11. I mainly use Facebook to keep in touch with my family. I do have some of my internet friends added, funny enough my parents finally signed up on the platform last year after saying for years they didn't feel comfortable joining. I have a bunch of friends I added for Mafia Wars in the early 10's, I should go through my list and delete a bunch of people because I have over 500 friends lol.
  12. Honestly I don't bother with getting any antivirus software, I think Windows defender works fine these days. Maybe install Malwarebytes along with Windows defender and you should be good to go. I used to use Avast in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time.
  13. I'm currently using Lubuntu which is a different version of Ubuntu alongside Windows 11. It's a very easy to use Linux distro, one I highly recommend if you're familiar with Windows and want to use Linux. Though if you do have a lower end computer, Lubuntu would work better. I've used Ubuntu on one of my laptops in the past, prior to reinstalling Windows 10 on it.
  14. Honestly I wouldn't mind some of those conversations be reopened. There's still quite a few hobbyists who use these older operating systems, whether they're using old machines or emulating them. I know there's sub reddits that cover different operating systems, but it couldn't help.
  15. Always go with a legit source whenever you download anything, especially a operating system. There's no telling what kind of viruses these leaks may contain, and they could be incompatible with your hardware. I also always recommend getting Windows keys from legit sources too, because again you never know if it'll work or not!
