The jokes are becoming reality, I swear…
OF course they had to do it in reverse: it’s not a feature, it’s a bug.
/me Laughs in Windows 10.
/me Laughs in Linux
I’m sure I’ll be there with you soon enough.
I’m still on windows ten. Currently trying to switch to Linux. What are your plans when end of life /support comes to Windows ten?
Im in the same boat, I’ll either move to some cracked version of windows without the recall bs, or more likely some linux distro.
There’s no reason to trust any homebrew or cracked Windows ISO. Just go with Win 10 LTSC. All the bullshit is removed and it has support until 2027. MAS flawlessly activates it. Linux is indeed the better option, and I’ll be heading that way soon enough.
What are your plans when end of life /support comes to Windows ten?
Switch to Linux and run virtual machines when I need to use Windows.
Right now I don’t quite have the drive to do it, but an end to support for Windows 10 would push me over the edge. I just can’t stand Windows 11, not even because of all the bullshit but just the way it mandates the UI structure - last time I tried it my dealbreaker was that you can’t just have it always display all taskbar icons, you have to manually force each one to show. If a new icon comes up, it will be hidden.
this one drove me nuts.
let me use the damn computer the way i want to. its mine, i paid for it. let me use small taskbar icons. let me remove the ads.
Your computer, their software.
That doesn’t even make sense… that’s actively antagonistic UI design right there. Goddamn.
I might try to setup Win 10 LTSC which has support until 2027, but I mostly use Mint these days. Would still like to avoid Win 11, even if I only use it for gaming.
It is so strange to see people flexing $PREVIOUS_WINDOWS when $PREVIOUS_WINDOWS itself brought in egregious anti-features that are now normalized and accepted by average users as “not malware”.
Yeah, but most if not all of those antifeatures can be removed very easily.
I find it much easier to start with a minimal canvas, and then to add only the things I want or need. Than to try to tear down aggressive features until something sane begins to appear from beneath.
I got too many games and programs installed in my current copy of Win10 to ditch it now, sadly. Too afraid of outright losing shit, or savegames, etc.
Besides O&O (or whatever it’s called) installs via Chocolatey, and you just uncheck the stuff you don’t want. Windows is stripped to bones in like 10 minutes.
You might be surprised at how many games just work on Linux. Have been running it on my laptop for a bit now and it hasn’t presented an issue. Check out https://www.protondb.com/.
Had a friend recently ask me to benchmark my PC as he was buying one and wanted a baseline number to compare against. Asked him what he wanted me to benchmark, (it was Mass Effect). The process was: install on steam, hit play on steam. The only annoying part was I had to wait for the new game cinematic to finish before I could get a FPS reading.
O&O Shutup10 is pretty nice though.
How could that even happen? It was either never intended to ship outside of the User Experience Package alongside actual system apps or it was intended to be capable of being uninstalled during development.
Sounds like the employees did a little insubordination, good job employee we love you.
Removed by mod
How this is good for Mircosoft though? It makes sense if they want to do it opt-out, but the only reason why I can think of they don’t want it to get removed at all to sell data
I am wildly speculating it is to collect all the workflows from remote workers in the hopes they can sell the data to other companies for future automation. Just another way of squeezing money out of users who already paid for the software just to have more information stolen from them.
Linux is the future.
And has been for the last 30 years
always, it seems
User choice is an accident. Got it.
Altogether now children “It’s a bug until…it’s a feature!”
Microsoft is just a bug.
Microsoft confirms it’s just a bug.
It’s just too easy to dunk on MS these days. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
Twice. At point blank range. To the back of the head. With an elephant gun.
Or a mortar. Point blank.
Have you ever tried to shoot fish in a barrel?
Well, since the fish are just laying there, at the bottom, motionless and dead it’s pretty easy.
Who said they were dead?
Who said they were alive? The whole premises of the saying is that things are easy.
Microsoft says it remains on track to preview Recall with Windows Insiders on Copilot Plus PCs in October, after the company has had more time to make major changes to Recall.
Just in time for Halloween. That’ll be sure to give people a good scare.
it’s not for the end user, it’s for the end user’s boss who wants to monitor all their worker drones’ productivity
Im pretty sure that’s illegal in EU (or at least in Germany).
They have better tools for that.
office boss using tools LOL good one
Why measure performance metrics in terms of output when we can just 1984 everyone’s workstation.
Because that would, at one point, imply a full process audit, which will inevitably lead to some shit-stirring, especially in terms of management’s contribution to said output, making it much easier for the worker to see just how underpaid they are and probably hurting some manager’s feewings. We can’t have the truth! Better to Love Big Brother and blame the Drone!
It’s not for the end user’s boss, it’s there to collect data for the future Microsoft user behaviour analysis tools that will be sold to the end user’s boss’s boss.
it can be for 2 things
but it’s definitely not for the benefit of anyone who’s forced to use it
That’s okay, I hit the Windows uninstall button back in April. It’s been quite nice ever since!
…but was it the “Windows Uninstall” button…or the “format /dev/sda1 as ext4” button?
Nah I used the btrfs button
