Hi Everyone,

I just picked up a Chuwi Minibook X, and I was wondering if most people just run the OEM image that comes with it out of the box, or do people immediately wipe the device and install a clean install of Windows 11 Home?

Has anyone noticed a difference between the two?

Good morning peers.

Id like to bring to everyone‘s attention, my desire to call for a supplementary boycott of all loblaws branded companies. This include the following:

Grocery & Supermarket Chains

• Loblaws
• Real Canadian Superstore
• No Frills
• Maxi
• Provigo

• CityMarket

Its apparent from the list above, the obsurd control a single company has on the Canadian market, and their influence on vendors when it comes to shelf space and pricing. Things need to change, anti-trust laws need to be strengthened and proper government action needs to be taken. Canada’s Competition Bureau needs a new set of policies to reflect the current market conditions Canadian families are now facing. this cannot continue any longer as we watch as see lower and even some middle class families struggling on a daily basis. This situation will not get better on its own. Massive companies such as loblaws will continue to squeeze us as long as they can, and it time it’s stops. The best thing we can do collectively is to bring continuous mass media attention to the situation at hand and force the hand of government officials to make a change. The government should represent the people who vote for them, and not the lobbyists.

it’s clear that boycotts are the only thing that makes them listen, or at least comes to the attention of shareholders. maybe it’s time we organize another mass boycott or maybe ever set and annual, monthly boycott, maybe around late summer, early fall around harvest season so we can go directly to local farms and farmers markets and support them directly.

Bought a new 2026 Atlas for the wife and she constantly complains that the wireless pad is crap. with apple car play run, it doesn’t even charge her phone, pretty much just keep its current charge. Anyone know what the wireless output is supposed to be in those wireless pad and if there’s and after market solution to add a magnetic holder? seems the phone is never in the right spot.
