There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

Found my unicron.com golden discs, (2006 so nearly vintage) bit of tarnishinhg but since they're made of brass they should clean up okay hopefully. What's best? Something like Brasso?

The UW Technobots, I'm still loving the retooling but unsure if I'll ever have space to display

What a difference a face change makes. Props to Steamshield for making it available on his cults3d

If this had happened when Thatcher reared her despicable head the country would be in a far better place

For Beast Wars beyond season 1 it's the only option. It helps that in general the third party versions were relatively cheap when first released

Still proud of this one, especially how how orange turned out and the decal design

The YouTube TV app is unbearable, 2 minute unskippable ad blocks jist because watching on a TV, I keep my adblocker on my laptop for peace of mind not being force fed dribble. I miss old YouTube where the creators got the revenue and it became popular because it wasn't an advertising platform

Unearthed my Centurion Drone and must say, these accessories are still great (for the most part)

Yay, my very own G1 Menasor, pretty nice to say came from various sources of parts

Cliffjumper instead of Shredhead would have been so much more cathartic and symbolic of him stepping up when he couldn't previously would have been more rewarding than Miriam

Interesting assembly...

Yeah, he had it combined already, helpful knowing Kakuryu uses painted gold rather than gold plastic

Rotorstorm Sam @rotorstorm.bsky.social · Sep 15

I saw my mate's dinoking the other week and was astounded just how small this combiner is, people were talking about how small the new Pulse one was but I think it may have been bigger!

I'm amazed they didn't do Wario as the highlight since it's objectively the one game anyone should be bothered about

Leader Megatron is pretty nice, found I prefer making his fusion cannon the main feature rather than incorporating it. Also found the accessory version is weaker than the one with the various reissue seekers appearance wise

Big cannon, tank mode but with the arms back andthe middle and legs compressed for substance

Megatron with the gun mode accessory, it looks small and distorted

Megatron with the reissue gun which came with Walmart Starscream

Coat of paint has made a difference to the printed blue bits (ran out before being able to do the feet sadly

Could always leave your work area for lunch and go for a short walk, even if no-one around being outside makes a big difference

Like the kit overall, for around 20 quid from the printer (plus the file cost I'm happy enough to get some paint on and call Road Caesar done

Blacker with his new feel that allow combination

Big Motorvator mode (Blacker in robot mode attached to his two teammates

First full combination, antenna missing due to them being painted black and one breaking
