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.
@proactiveservices not sure if I use that. Project codewords and the plethora of environments makes me lose track of what is used.
I'm on #PopOS and whatever it uses for the equivalent of the start menu search seems reliable though maybe once a week it doesn't take focus and I have to click into the search box.
"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.
This disaster resulted in a support call from a business at 3.30am last night as one of their business critical machines was just doing a black screen on boot.
It's unforgivable #Microsoft are doing this and, in some setups, doing it in such a way the computer fails to start up. I don't want Bing Chat, don't install it via windows update automatically! #BingChat#BingChatInstaller#micrososftCopilot
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.”
@richygarcia84 Oh snap so any old computer that made it through the loophole should just connect with a microsoft account? Kinda insane... all right. But what I meant is my laptop is so old it can barely run win10, win11 might kill it haha!
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
@SinclairSpeccy My great uncle had a Sensation, but it didn't have a custom label of any kind... what a neat machine. I wish I knew what my cousins did with it when he died... but I probably don't wanna know. 😩
