Windows has long not been a sensible choice for advertising, museum or other displays... excellent example attached. Why can't they just leave machines alone or show something small and nonintrusive. #MicrosoftWindows#Enshittification#Microsoft#Windows

독점 화두를 자극해서 타사 소셜 미디어 계정으로 오에스에 로긴하여 이용할 수 있도록 하려는 시도일까 싶어요. 언제나 그렇듯이 머스크가 선봉장하고 X Corp. 그리고 Meta Platforms 등이 바로 진입하겠죠?

I don't understand how #MicrosoftWindows start menu is so buggy. Click start, type in expecting it to search, nothing happens. Click away, click start, type, nothing happens. Click away, Click start, type away and it works. It is so regular across so many computers I can't imagine it's just me having that infuriating experience.
"Bing Chat" bullshit delivered via Windows Update hung the Explorer load on a computer used for playout of music at a radio station. Just resulted in a black screen after the windows splash. THANKS!
Modern computing is such a terrible experience.
Windows is increasingly morphing into an advert delivery platform.
I have decided to be on a quest to replace my most used #software with #opensource and/or #secure alternatives as much as possible. So far my progress #twitter with #mastodon (love this change) #reddit with #lemmy (hate the logo of #lemmy) #netflix, #DisneyHotstar and #amazonprime with #jellyfin (It was more expensive than I thought, but fortunately I had many old DVD at my home and I am still waiting for my subscriptions to end)
22 years ago on October 25, 2001, Windows XP was released.
Windows XP brought a fresh, user-friendly interface with its iconic green hills and blue sky wallpaper. It was a significant improvement over its predecessors.
Even after its official end-of-life in 2014, it remained in use due to its reliability and familiarity
14 years ago on October 22, 2009, Microsoft released Windows 7 to the public.
Windows 7 was celebrated for its improved performance, stability, and user-friendly interface. It addressed many of the concerns and criticisms that arose from Windows Vista.
Some of Windows 7's features includes support for virtual hard disks, support for additional file formats and improved performance on multi-core processors
“If you’ve previously upgraded a machine from Windows 7 or Windows 8 to Windows 11 or used one of these older keys, your activation status won’t change. You have a digital license that should continue to work. But if you were hoping to use this loophole in the future, it’s time to buy a legit Windows 11 key instead.”
On this day in tech history, Microsoft introduced Windows NT 3.5.
Windows NT 3.5 introduced improved networking capabilities and enhanced performance such as integrated Winsock and TCP/IP support, support for the VFAT file system, Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) version 2.0 and support for input/output completion ports
28 years ago, on August 24, 1995, the digital realm took a neon-lit turn as Microsoft unveiled Windows 95, the OG of operating systems.
It was a time when dial-up internet reigned supreme, computing was, well, a bit more...radical, the Start button, "Start Me Up" and the iconic Windows 95 start-up sound.
So here's to the OS that brought us the digital pastel dreamscape, Windows 95 – forever etched in tech history.
I received a Dell Inspiron laptop from 2008 or so.
Windows 7, no support since 2012. No original product key working, no drivers working. I struggled to revive it but no way.
Seriously Microsoft Windows is a piece of crap. #Dell#MicrosoftWindows#WindowsSeven#ProgrammedObsolescense#Linux#DOS
Do you like it? Is it something I can use to play my Steam games on the go, kind of like a Game Boy? (aka, for when I need to go to the hospital, other medical procedures)
I was thinking about a Switch, but I am loving the Steam games and think this might be a better investment for me
@PanickedFoodie Yes, you can play thousands of popular #Steam games on #SteamDeck. It is bulkier than a #NintendoSwitch but the same basic form factor, with slightly more complicated controls that do not detach. It does not have terrific battery life especially on the more graphically demanding titles, but it has one of the easiest interfaces for balancing PC game performance with playability compared to competitors’ attempts to shoehorn #MicrosoftWindows into a handheld.
