Why can’t the devs have it update in the background or on next startup? I was in the middle of my work when I got this. Now I need to close everything and go through all the logins and 2FA again. 😡...
I managed to plug the 4pin CPU_POWER cable into two corresponding ports. As in 2 pins from one port and two from the other, since they make up an 8pin port.
Surprisingly it was working but crashing randomly every half an hour.
These ports are shaped so that this is impossible, but I managed to do it anyway.
Nah, I don’t want to kill anyone, I don’t even own a car. I just made fun of something I thought was ridiculous with something even more ridiculous.
I personally never even saw such a protest, but I think it’s very ridiculous to “protect by law” blocking people, that maybe even agree with you, from reaching the cemetery, weddings, or other important events on time.
Edit: btw why is everyone attaching images that take up half my phone’s screen and make their comments hard to read? Is this some new trend?
Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features. It’s not hyperbole to say that the startup repair, and the troubleshooters in settings, have never fixed an issue I’ve encountered with Windows. Not even once. Is this typical?...
Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐...
As a ““power user”” of software, 98% of software sucks. There’s always shit that makes you go “have they even tried using this?” or “did they test this at all?”
There were UX bugs though it’s been some time so I don’t remember all of them.
One of them was that when I pressed the windows key and searched for an app sometimes it just wouldn’t react at all, and I had to press it multiple times or use another way to launch an application.
Also the default file manager would often hang up for no apparent reason.
The desktop widgets would change their position every single time I logged in and would even disappear.
Edit: just remembered a hilarious one that took me a lot of time to figure out what was happening. If I had my second display turned on while logging in, the visual scale would always set itself to a ridiculous value like 1% or something and everything would be too small to do anything. I had to turn off the display every time I would log in. Before this I didn’t even know the PC could detect whether a display is turned on or off.
No matter what I set the scale to in display configurations, it would get fucked if I logged in with a second display turned on.

Haven’t encountered a single game that doesn’t work since being on Linux for over a year, though they surely exist, and I’ve played at least 30. The only things annoying me is that I have to reconnect my steering wheel after I start Dirt Rally 2.0 to have Force Feedback, and that I can’t tab out of League of Legends and instead have to minimize it with win+down.
So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

Has Windows startup repair or a troubleshooter ever fixed your issue even once?
Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features.

What’s a company that objectively improved after it got “bought out?”
Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?
