I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.

ICQ was still online!?!?!

I stopped using that shit like 25 years ago. Thought died in the late 90’s

Yeah… I’m not gonna worry about it until maybe September next year.

Motherfucker!

If I was given an AI interview I would burn that place to the ground. The fucking disrespect.

A massive swathe of current gen devices don’t even support it.

It won’t be a month.

Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.

No. Some of us were already there.

Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.

The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).

OP asked for feedback.

Dude you’re pretty condescending for a new author on an old topic.

Yeah I read it and it’s very over worded.

1024 was the closest binary approximation of 1000 so that became the standard measurement. Then drive manufacturers decided to start using decimal for capacity because it was a great way to make numbers look better.

Then the IEC decided “enough of this confusion” and created binary naming standards (kibi gibi etc…) and enforced the standard decimal quantity values for standard names like kilo-.

It’s not ground breaking news and your constant arguing with people in the thread paints you as quite immature. Especially when plenty of us remember the whole story BECAUSE WE LIVED IT AS IT PROFESSIONALS.

We lacked a standard, a system was created. It was later changed to match global standard values.

You portray it with emotive language making decisions out to be stupid, or malicious. A decision was made that was perfectly sensible at the time. It was then improved. Some people have trouble with change.

Your writing and engagement styles scream of someone raised on clickbait news. Focus on facts, not emotion and sensationalism if you want to be taken seriously in tech writing.

Focus on emotion and bullshit of you want to work for BuzzFeed.

And if you just want an argument go use bloody twitter.

I came here to avoid Reddit.

Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.

It totally is. Accidents, Beta features, etc. all used as cover to be a cunt.

“supposed to”

Oopsie whoopsy, we accidentally made competing browsers disadvantaged.

Deliberate, disguised as accidental. Disgusting.

The UI is still missing basic features. The start menu is fucked.

The OS is fine, the Desktop is under cooked.

Now even tweet previews are busted in Discord.

You can’t even share tweets without using something like fxtwitter.

PITA

And then MS will issue a limited extension.

An business still won’t be ready.

Modern auth on email is still causing problems for a lot of places.

Why? Your comment makes no sense.

Small icons, show title, never combine.

Still waiting on the release that contains this.

Too many features that I use daily as a Sysadmin are missing to consider w11 as anything more than a PITA currently.

At home my PC hardware is fully capable but my HDD will need a reformat, so I either rebuild my system from scratch (not gonna happen any time soon) or fork out for yet another HDD and transfer tools.

So it’s an imposed cost for little benefit and a whole mountain of inconvenience.

I literally disabled my TPM chip to prevent w11 force installing itself. Management forked out for a new fleet of w11 machines and staff are straight up refusing to move off older slower PC’s to avoid w11.

W11 needs a solid 12 months of re-adding existing features to be worth looking sideways at.

Holy shit. Just not “no” when it asks if you want to set up backup, and keep using what you already use.

It’s less difficult than falling over.

You can just say no to the tool and keep using whatever local backup you have.

I got a pop-up that said:
“Hey we have backup to OneDrive now! Do you want to turn it on?”. [Yes/no/don’t ask again]
