What is the mechanism which turns these assemblies to do work and move/pull/push something? The inner screw is rotated by a motor, which causes the planetary roller system assembly to move, where the thing you want to move is attached to the moving roller assembly?

Right. It's like pushing a nut along a screw by turning the screw.

This article is about exotic screw/nut assemblies which have lower friction, longer life, and more strength than ordinary screws. The recirculating ball screw used for automobile steering is the classic of such mechanisms.[1] Both roller and ball screws substitute rolling for sliding, always a win against friction.

Yeah really does show you how it's now (actually for some time) just a label, conveniently morphing over time for people/groups you don't like, losing any actual meaning because it's applied so liberally.

And it's ironic because there are clearly "real terrorists" (i.e. 9/11 guys).


Labeling everyone "terrorists" became fashionable very quickly specifically after 9/11. I think it has decreased by 80-90% or so since then. "Terrorists" used to be everywhere.

1000%, crazy to look back on spring and summer of 2020 and if he just played it cool and not rocked the boat so much, no doubt he would have been reelected. Not that I agree with many of his policies; if anything it speaks more to his incompetence and inability to remain calm than anything else.


Can you expand on this? For example details on any tools to do this. I've been trying to disable features I know use resources and aren't needed but the native UIs to do it are hella confusing and feel purposely useless.


Google "windows 11 debloat reddit". There are several tools:

- https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat (recommended elsewhere in this thread)

- https://christitus.com/windows-tool/ (I used this one a couple weeks ago, seems to work well)

But seriously though, learn to fish. The answers aren't hard to find if you look, know what to search for, and are at least somewhat discriminating in your investigation.


I say go one step further and learn to fish harder and don't use any of these scripts. I can't even imagine trying to debug an issue on my machine after running one of these "makes arbitrary changes" scripts.

Do it all manually if for no other reason than you know all the changes you made and know where all the different settings actually are.


Indeed... I've made all the changes I want manually, and a lot of them aren't even things any of these scripts do anyway.


The Chris Titus utility has worked very well for me. I used it to de-bloat Win 11 after I upgraded the OS last year.

I run Win 11 on an old tiny NUC PC that has Windows 10 before - now it does seem faster, is very stable and is not so annoying.

One thing: AFAIK you need to have the Windows 11 Pro version for the best de-bloating results.


Having fished I have found the fish hard to catch so thought I would ask from another fisher.


Sure thing. Probably the highest-RoI changes performance-wise (there may be negative implications for security or functionality, obviously proceed at your own risk) are to disable the various services and drivers that belong to either Windows Defender or the various filesystem filter drivers on your system. You can't disable everything (expect a freeze/crash if you disable the wrong ones) but you can disable most.

That, and switch back to the classic GUIs (like with OpenShell) so you don't have to deal with the laggy new UIs.


Also friendlies for the record the person I was responding to mentioned millions of settings, which while hyperbolic, you and I know means just hard to find so please share all fishing tips and other notes.

For the record I am also with you that using WinDebloat is not the best way for the simplest reason that it all seems arbitrary.


What's the inside angle on admitting liability like this? Keep it out of the courts and therefore no discovery and depositions that become public record?


Precisely. There is dubious flight hour qualification and going into a corridor at night.

And possible failure to adjust altimeter after a storm pressure front has passed, before takeoff.

I think the older veteran copilot is not forceful enough when he noticed as being too high.

Doesn't help that ATC was dismissive as well either due to ignorance or misunderstanding.

Regretfully, a veritable comedy of errors. Better to settle ouy of court than set a precedent.


Huh? Why, that makes no sense.

But seriously, if a comma is used it would be more like:

Nearby to a Netherlands' military base, known to store US nuclear weapons, suspicious drones were fired upon by defensive forces.

Alas, we must continue to train the LLMs in proper comma usage!!!


please take a moment to consider the possibility of an apostraopocalyps should things go wrong


You've made me evacuate my semi-colon.


Great, now the rest of this thread won’t compile.


Stuff like this was kind of necessary on those early generation iPods, they had mechanical spinning disks. I remember dropping mine and hearing the click from the busted disk :/


Weren't they supposed to stop per the accelerometer inside?


Huh? Even if the farmer could save 100% of that daily $2 earning it's still 60 days worth of wages, which while not exactly $1,000,000, is still a lot for the the farmer.


I am convinced MS has code in Windows which looks for de-bloating and then purposely slows things down. Or the code base has gotten to the point where things are so entangled that de-bloating leads to the slow down as every app tries to connect to telemetry or hook into Copilot and stumbles when the bloat is not there.


Green account myself, it's an older code, sir, but it checks out.
