When I read the headline of the announcement article, I thought it would be in the spirit of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-drive/, instead it's just advertising a series of device that most devs won't ever buy.
Devs might be bad at marketing to general public, but if the target market are devs, run the ads through them first. Even if they're in a building with no dev at all, surely one can be reached through an internal email.
Android, at least those with Play Service, already have built-in scanning for APKs right now. The main problem is currently only Google can "trust" the dev signature for apps they release, so if an app or dev is in Google's naughty list, either for outright malware or for an adblocker, they're out.
At least there will be a setting for users to allow any app from any dev, which those who know about it will enable right away, and those who don't know about it have no business to use it anyway.
Chrome is made by an advertising company that also fund almost entirely the budget of Firefox. Even Safari is made by an advertising company. FWIW most of them have some blocking for egregious ads, so they will happily kill someone's else goose.
Personally I think the easiest would be to support uBO or at least have a built-in engine that can load filters written for uBO. Anything else is just wasting development time.
Search for it in the Start menu, right click uninstall. You can do the same with most other preloaded apps, or use whatever powershell incantation to do it in batch.
UFS WriteBooster not only have a buffer that eventually need to be flushed, since it uses flash cells with pseudo-SLC behavior, the write amplification is even higher, to the point that they give it a special flag because using it all the time will just kill the media faster.
Iris Xe in 12th-gen do this, no idea since when it's added. There's still a minimum configurable shared allocation option in the BIOS, probably for legacy OS, but after booting Windows it can take up to 8 GB of the system RAM.
Sikh's similarly serve communal meal, langar, which invite everyone to come and eat together. As a non-Sikh, being invited to such events is such an educational experience because they're a very small minority in my country so pretty much everything I see was new to me.
