Guess Microsoft can buy me a new computer if they want me to use Windows 11.
I got a new computer to replace the old windows 10. But the new toy won’t see windows.
They’re treating it like it’s not your computer anyways, might as well get them to foot the bill.
By getting more people to buy computers they get more window licenses to sell and it’s always been that way, but they’re getting more pushy
But this is making the Windows 11 experience worse, making fewer people upgrade to get Windows 11.
Bruh, software experiences have been getting consistently worse for a decade now.
BRUH
Lol, year of the Linux desktop here we come XD
201020112012201320142015201620172018201920202021202220232024 Year of the Linux desktop!😂
Hi, yeah. Uh long time listener, first time caller. Thank you for taking my question. Yes, I was wondering does Linux do this? I’ll take my answer off the air. Thanks!
This is the Linux equivalent:
(
check-dfsg-status | cowsay -f gnuon Debian)
Interestingly, the software giant added this check since the Windows 11 24H2 will not boot without these instruction sets, according to a previous report. Though speculative, one would wonder if the company has this extra step in case someone uses bypasses to force the OS to boot with an unsupported CPU.
Why is the watermark the headline
Why is MS targeting specific hardware when windows has historically been a general purpose OS?
I’m switching my machine to Linux this weekend, even if my chip is supported, who’s to say it will stay supported for the next couple of years.
Only targeting new hardware is just a win-win-win for them.
Hardware partners love it, planned obsolescence is just new sales. Legal departments love it, constantly worse DRM. The development teams like it, less support burden. Marketing loves AI being a core feature.
They have no competition. There is no downside for them.
Mac OS is a minor competitor.
In corporate world, where I think MS makes most of the money, windows is the standard (unfortunately).
That’s why I said minor. Design companies, and plenty of website companies use Macs, but that’s a small percentage of overall businesses.
We’re actually shifting our entire workplace. Fuck this shit - both from a hassle viewpoint and content security requirements
That’s weird, the watermark says, “I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.”
Who knew they were telling the truth after all. When they said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows.
Join the dark side 😈🐧
Yay for what I assume is a BSD reference there
Add a 🐡
God damn. It went down hill fast. I’m actually gonna start looking at distros. Fuck. I just bought a mini pc to install OPNsense on but I think my weekend just drastically shifted.
Lucky for you, Linux runs on just about anything. Even teeeny tiny computers!
Haha my phrasing was bad. It’ll be a 4090 i9 for Linux 😆 but I’m holding off on destroying my internal network to make this change first.
Just give it the same machine name and network name, and it should be pretty easy to switch.
Yeah. Gonna have to dual boot also unless somehow game pass works on Linux lol
Game pass for Xbox? Yeah, I think that’ll be a no, but someone on Reddit said that you can stream it if you have good Internet.
Interesting. I meant game pass for PC 😆 maybe we are talking about the same thing.
Edit:ah yeah it’s Xbox game pass for PC.
Just use Mint.
Mint seems too easy tbh. I’ll probably end up using Hannah Montana 💅
ai file explorer? I can fi d my own files thanks
Can’t wait for my ai to hallucinate last year’s tax return
I think what’s interesting about this take, is when they use AI to generate things like new taxes, tax codes and tax laws. The levels of loopery will be insane.
The AI will see the existing loops and think that’s what it’s supposed to be like, so it’ll add a bunch more.
Can you though? Explorer.exe on windows 11 is already a steaming pile. Why the fuck can’t I disable grouping? If I need to find a specific kind of files in my download directory, it’s way easier for me to sort by size. What isn’t easy is that now it’s grouped by fucking date as well. IDK when I grabbed the last windows iso on my.visualstudio.com, I just know that I have <10 files that are >3GB in my download directory. But noooo now after sorting by size I’ve got to either search though 4 or 5 groups or turn grouping off.
The IT dept at work has decided that we all will run windows 11, and it’s locked down tighter than I’ve experienced in a long time. Guess who has a VM called “Windows 10 Daily driver” running. Fuck windows 11 and the iso it rode in on.
You can sort by size and turn grouping by date off. It is right in the menu.
I’m quite aware it is. I usually use the detailed view, so sorting is easy. But going into the menu to turn off grouping only works once for me. If I go into the settings for explorer and chose the “make the current setup default” button (or whatever it is called, I can’t recall right now), then every single other aspect than grouping are preserved. Are you telling me that my issues aren’t caused by windows 11 being a needy little b*tch?
It’s probably going to use some stupid-ass system to place them in the next available spot on the HDD and you actually won’t be able to find them without the AI.
Given how Linux support for steam has been going I’ve just started migrating everything and just popping in to windows when I have something that doesn’t work.
Don’t threaten me with a good user experience.
My windows 10 already has a watermark to activate it
Too bad I’m on Linux.
I can’t wait for it to be added to activate-linux!
Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinux
