I Turned ON All Ubuntu Telemetry.

I  did something today that will make certain corners of the internet audibly gasp. I didn’t disable telemetry. I didn’t firewall it. I didn’t put on a tinfoil hat and boot into a Faraday cage. No. I installed every Ubuntu data-donation tool and opted in manually like a lunatic with intent. Yes. Telemetry. On. All of it. Step 1: Installing the “evil” telemetry tool First, I installed Ubuntu’s main data-donation package: sudo apt update sudo apt install ubuntu-report Then I looked at the data it collects: ubuntu-report And what did I see? CPU model GPU model RAM size Screen resolution Oh no. My computer… exists . Step 2: Opting in aggressively Not satisfied with a passive existence, I explicitly told Ubuntu: ubuntu-report -f send yes That’s right. Not “ask me later” . Not “maybe” . YES. SEND IT.

upgrade unsupported Lumia to redstone 3 [1709]

on
Hey there! If you have an old Windows phone lying around or if you're still using a Windows phone and want to get the latest w10 build 1709 on a Lumia Windows phone that's no longer supported for updates, just follow these steps to upgrade.

First, download the interop tools from here

No need to worry about registry providers with these interop tools. Just use the "this device" option during app setup. Make sure you have development mode enabled on your Lumia.

Next, go to the "registry browser" and make the following edits:

- HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
    - PhoneModelName: Lumia 950 XL

- HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
    - PhoneHardwareVariant: RM-1085

- HKLM\Platform\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
    - PhoneManufacturerModelName: RM-1085_15217

Once you've made the edits, go ahead and check for updates. That's it!
