Read-only
pc-audit
An audit of a Windows machine, billed against the goal you pick. It changes nothing, and it will not print a number it did not measure.
The statement
Every line opens to say why it is here, what it was read from, and what would make it wrong.
Your own machine
Run this in PowerShell. It reads; it has no cmdlet in it that can change anything, and
src/collector.test.ts checks that by scanning the script rather than by
promising it.
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File collect\pc-audit.ps1 > report.json
Add -Redact if the snapshot is going anywhere but your own disk. It takes
out your username, your home directory and your machine name, and the report is
identical either way - none of the checks read a path.
Then paste the file below. It is read in this tab by the same code the command line runs, and nothing is uploaded - this page makes no network requests at all after it loads.
What this will not tell you to do
The genre is mostly cargo cult, and a list of tweaks with no account of the famous bad ones is another entry in it. Every claim below is written the way it is usually made, so you can find the one you just read somewhere else.
