Seems doubtful that the best path forward for CompSci education involves the traditional classroom model. I don't know a single good developer who chose their career because of--or had a learning breakthrough in--a high school course. The information flux is just too low, and changes to curricula lag terminally behind the state of the industry.

but as always: Are you sure your data doesn't fit in PostgreSQL? You should probably try PostgreSQL first.

Try opening help or press F1 with the desktop in focus. This normally opens Edge.

What happens when you press Win, type a query, then press enter, quickly? In Win 10 that opens a Bing search in Edge for me, no matter what settings I try. Very annoying when I type "(Win)chr(enter)" to open Chrome and get a search instead. If I do it slow it will sometimes work.

I haven't tried it on Win 11 because that was what caused me to drop Windows altogether. (Everyone has their straw).

Opt in setting doesn't mean much here. While it's technically true the crypto stuff isn't "enabled", it's constantly pushed to you with no option to remove all of that during installation.

I'll walk you through it:

Upon loading the browser on a fresh install, you are greeted with a new tab page pushing Brave Rewards. With manipulative UX, there is no button to disagree or remove the feature, only a button for "start using rewards". You can hide it by clicking the 3 dots, which for most users they're never going to do unfortunately.

Looking at the address bar, there's a triangle up there with a badge. Hiding the new tab Rewards card doesn't hide this triangle. Clicking on this does not show a remove feature option. Beside that, there's a sidebar button and a wallet icon again with a badge. Clicking on this only shows a learn more button. I can right click both of these, and finally see a hide option.

Finally all of that is hidden. Maybe I browse a page or so, and then open a new tab. I'm shown an ad on the new tab screen. Right clicking it shows no hide button. So I'll try the customize button. Here's where you have to scroll down and disable the "show sponsored images" option.

All done, right? Ok let's browse Reddit for a bit. There's where you see the "tip" button under every post. Right clicking shows nothing about hiding it. So into the settings you have to go to finally remove the last bit of the feature and be prompted to relaunch the browser.

Kotlin seems kinds of pointless with the features in newer Java versions
