Currently resetting/reinstalling #Windows11.

"Good things coming your way."

Chilling feeling with this coming from a company with #Microsoft's record.

Folks that use -- why would my taskbar keep moving from "center" orientation to "left" orientation on its own? I set it to "center" and every once in a while it just moves to the left on its own. I can't find a pattern to the timing. Any thoughts?

Once more, it is a good time to be a Linux users.

Why, you ask?

Microsoft has pushed out an update that breaks VPN access in Windows 10 and 11. This after the fact that we all learned Windows 11 will have ads, plus Microsoft may try to shame users with a watermark for those who do not accept their recommended settings or use their latest recommend hardware.

I work, take calls, bank, stream movies, stream music, edit documents, photos, videos, print, game, shop, and I do so ad free, watermark free, activation free, while safely and securely using an optional VPN, and I do this all on Linux (Ultramarine Linux, KDE spin).

I have now hacky solution to show favicon in the Windows 11 taskbar for each Firefox tab.

  1. Disable combine taskbar buttons
  2. Firefox extension that sends a command to native cli tool
  3. Native cli tool calls WM_SETICON to swap the icons.

It should work pretty well. Currently I don't have extension ready for it, but I tried with scripts and AHK that this is doable.

Hi @JenMsft I just wanted to let you know that in Flight Hub, clicking on the entry for build 26100 is loading the page for build 26090 instead. Are you also able to reproduce this? Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to any input you may have. Thanks. #Windows #Windows11

I still get a LOT of comments, from people who don't really want to learn about current ARM offerings, but like to speculate and complain about what ARM PCs can't do.

Before we start getting X Elite hardware, here's what older ARM PCs can do with SIGNIFICANTLY less powerful chips! It's a LOT more than you think...

It is once again a good day to be a Linux user. -- Why?

Microsoft is now going to punish people with watermarks if your system does not 100% meet their system requirements, even after you paid for your copy of Windows. -- Trying to shame you to either buy their recommended hardware and accept their recommended settings.

@thurrott Something in one of these updates is causing my device to randomly reboot when left unattended. When I leave it overnight with a VM running or come home from work, its been restarted.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I hate Windows, but I (don't) appreciate the reminder that our interests aren't always aligned.

I generally do not look up stocks on a daily basis, and I certainly don't need them on my lockscreen, but they're there now! There doesn't seem to be any obvious setting to turn them off either, sadly.

The option for "Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen" is already disabled too...

@thurrott A masterclass review Paul! I still have a primary PC, but I love my M1 Pro. As you mentioned, the integration with the rest of the ecosystem is a delightful part of owning a . When Apple hits M5 I plan to replace my Windows laptop with either a Mini or Studio. There just isn't anything sticky in Windows for me anymore.

The article says you can disable them, but a better way, would be to just get rid of windows full stop, by erasing it with your choice of Linux distro

  • Honestly, Microsoft have got some neck, putting ads on the computer you own.
