The last Windows OS I used was XP. I miss those days.
At least it tells you what stupid shit it is doing. There is apparently another 'security update' for android and I'm assuming it is actually another complete UI overhaul called a security update again.
Babe, new timezone just dropped.
I'm old enough to have been through this in IT (that and leapseconds) and it's what my mind first jumped to (well, other than enshitification).
My wife came to me saying her laptop wasn't working. She was on it last night. It was forcing a Windows account login. Shift-10 disabled so I couldn't bypass.
Microsoft can straight fuck itself after this. Trying to brick an 8 year old laptop with a local account. Fuck that noise. My wife is gonna have to learn Linux.
trying to reinstall Windows on a used computer I got recently sent me over the edge. holy fucking shit that was so complicated. there is just no way to install windows without a Microsoft account now, their documentation is both out of date in some locations, non-existent in others (posts removed), and seemingly up-to-date yet incorrect in other locations. I followed the instructions for installing with a Microsoft account and then unlinking it, and it was fucking hell. I had to do some back door shit (not really, but stuff that the average user doesn't stand a chance of doing) in order to get my account actually unlinked so that I could sign in with the local credentials
I will not be buying Microsoft again. just going to transition slowly as Windows 10 fades away
I installed Windows 11 on my machine a few months back because i couldn't get Cities Skylines 2 to run properly under linux. What a fucking mess. only had it for a few hours before i went back to linux. Ahh the serenity.
This would be illegal in a world not run by Microsoft and companies like it.
I fear the day my little Win7 lappy finally cooks itself. The modern computing landscape is bizarre, alien, and frightening to me. Maybe I can build a XT and find a 300 baud BBS?
Also Clock is now an Electron app running in its own instance of Chromium, because the devs are afraid of static typing, thus everything needed to be in Javascript.
This makes me sad. I get using electron for cross-platform stuff like VSCode or all the other examples (trying to do desktop apps with decent looking UIs that work across Linux/Windows/Mac is a nightmare) but the clock that only works on windows? WPF and/or WinUI ARE RIGHT FUCKING THERE WHAT THE HELL?!
THEY'RE YOUR FUCKING PRODUCTS, MICROSOFT!!!
the mf updates itself alone every second
My main gripe is Windows Defender. I have an app that integrates with Home Assistant and Windows keeps flagging a component as a Trojan virus. Makes sense, as it's supposed to access admin level functions to read some sensors and enable remote power control.
But for years I've seen MsMpEng.exe, or the antivirus, constantly scan my 4TB HDD, either looking for viruses or doing some stupid NTFS remapping thing. It's loud and only spun up when idle on Win10, but became more aggressive on Win11 with less time to start scanning and not stopping when I move the mouse.
The latest development with breaking my app just means I'm more vigilant in turning the entire antivirus off when it turns on and starts scanning.
I have no idea why a clock would need an update.
The sticky note app makes my skin crawl every time it gets an update.

Wow, a Zombo reference in 2025? Hell yeah!
I recently installed Windows 10 after a few years of Linuxing and holy shit, the updater is just bad. I had more fun running Gentoo updates back in early 2000's. How is Windows updater so slow? How is it so bad at informing the user what's going on? How is it that every open source package manager I've used handles update infinitely better? Microsoft has a lot engineers, what are they doing with their time? Why is it so bad? Like, just, why?
Using a modern package manager in Linux after being used to windows for a decade or two was absolutely stunning.
But it was not unique. I see that kind of difference all over the OS as well as in FOSS vs commercial apps.
The difference in design motivations and important stakeholders is pretty obvious!
