As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)
Is that a mecha au comic?? After all those years??
Lmao okay but seriously. I missed drawing those two:D Can Jazz actually treat a mech like a vase? Spoiler - no one treats vases like that. But Prowl doesn’t know that yet haha
Next->
Also! Don’t look too close at the architecture of the cockpit I am not good at keeping it consistent and geometrically correct. If anything. Feel free to ignore it and make up your own design
based on chapter 4 so I’m gonna say it again: “Sunny Side Screw-Up” is one of the most BADASS things I’ve ever read in my life, so thanks to @sightseertrespasser for this masterpiece
(and to keferon for the tf mecha au too ofc!!)
text version:
and YES his rifle is SHURELY pointed in the right direction
The hive is fuckin’ huge and takes up the entire background! Bluestreak’s rifle is turning white from use! The motion and momentum of everything! Tacnet!
This is extremely awesome and it’s going on the fridge. My entire thought process going into part 4 was “How much badass shit can I reasonably include?”
You are already familiar with tactical hand holding now behold. Tactical hugging~
Also haha yeah surprise-surprise hollow things can float in water:D This comic updates once in a million years so in case you forgot and now confused about what the fuck Prowl is doing imma just attach a reminder page below
Basically. This is the reason I stopped making mimics comic for so long some time ago. I needed to reveal Mirage in Spellbound first haha Because. Youknow. It is a big popular headcanon that Jazz and Mirage are trustworthy besties so I figured if I just showed Mirage in mimics without prior context then all of you would just immediately assume Mirage is 100% a good guy.
