    I’m back on Windows 11 for the first length of time in a while, after a hardware switch.

    It’s aggravating as hell with all the popups and embedded ads. My last update just straight up failed and had to revert.

    I also don’t get what Windows users are talking about when they say Linux is harder. Every time I have to change a minor setting in Windows, it feels like I’m picking through 20 years of legacy dialogs, and I never know which layer of legacy it’ll be buried in.

      I can joke about a kafkaesque version of Mac that hides that after you put in your credit card info in, it defaults to subscribing to viruses as a service. You can disable the viruses, but you have to pay even more to the non viral version.

    Windows 11 was a nightmare in every aspect, who even designed that thing?

    Glad I went back lmao.

      They should design Windows for me exclusively and then every one else should just have to adapt their preferences to suit me. I conclude that this would be cheaper and require less development. My first instruction will be to bring back Windows XP start menu and folder structure. If you don’t like it you’re wrong, try again.

        You just invested the concept of personalization and an option menu.

        We’ve truly reached the future.

        I wish I could return to the XP. We should have quit while we were ahead 😔

    I’ve heard people say that iPhone updates actually slow the phone down so you buy a new one. I wouldn’t be surprised but is that actually true or nah?
