The biggest thing I want is to just move the task bar to the top of the screen. I can’t use my finger on my Surface tablet unless I remove the keyboard. Such idiocy…
Dude right??? I’ve been losing my fucking mind. My home computer, work computer 2, and work computer VM are all top bar mounted. Work computer 1 for upgraded to 11 and it’s pissing me off. Every week I check for a way to change it back.
My favourite is when I’m trying to click a notification tray thing and shit like teams messages keep popping up on top. Who the hell designed it so notifications come up on top of tray pop ups? So fucking stupid.
The bug bash quests can be found in the Windows Feedback Hub, and partaking in the bug bash often concludes with a badge in the Feedback Hub that acknowledges your participation.
Imagine doing free QA for a multibillion dollar corporation. I hate Microsoft so much.
You’ll get a lot of hate here for saying it, but you’re not entirely wrong. When they offered free GPT to people running edge I went ahead and loaded it out with my normal compliment of plugins to try it as a secondary browser.
I’m not exactly sure what all they did to it, but it’s not just Chrome with the different skin It’s notably faster and lighter on the memory footprint.
The reason why I’m not willing to convert to them completely as I don’t trust Microsoft with all my data. I’m already keeping as much telemetry from them as I can.
These days I float between Firefox and Brave. Firefox isn’t likely to sell my data, and Brave will sell my data but their anti-fingerprinting is pretty solid so they’re at least not just letting everyone track me for free.
You can easily schedule it yourself but I wouldn’t. I have used sfc /scannow about 10 times. It did fix an issue once - a VM repeatedly locking up doing Windows updates.
So fucking true. Linux people are such a loud minority. Just keep it to yourself. I strongly prefer to just turn my computer on, play games or work and not deal with hardware and software compatibility issues and learn a new OS. Plus penguins smell bad. Alright ttyl.
Like 90% of the internet is running on Linux. If being anywhere in the tech world is something you’re interested in then it would behoove you to learn it. But if all you’re interested in is the gaming then by all means rub the Cheeto dust on your shirt and yell for your mom upstairs to get you another bag.
Fun fact: I’ve been using Mint on my home computer for over a decade. I’ve distro hopped a little bit but Mint is just rock solid reliable. It’s almost perfect.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yeah. It’s called windows 10.
I think you’re misremembering. It’s called Windows 7.
Usual info-free article with clickbait headline. Tinfoil-heads will call it a “troll / honey-pot”, designed to attract and identify ‘troublemakers’.
And from that comment section, it’s working.
Are those “hidden features” just more ads?
Actually it uncovers the fact that space cadet pinball was actually a covert mind control and indoctrination tool developed by the NSA.
I KNEW IT
CIA Target Mode as well probably.

Well then we’re all screwed because who didn’t play the shit out of that?
Noone I’d trust.

You can do this with TaskbarX
I don’t have W11. I have had my taskbar at the top of my screen since the 90s. W11 doesn’t allow this ?

I think side is the best. When almost all monitors are wider than they are tall it makes more sense to put it on the short edge to use up less space.

This angers me so, so much and every messenger app does it.
Using Windows is cringe
Having a job is cringe
So Mac or Linux fanboy? Which one is it?
The windows cavalerie has arrived I see

Can’t blame them if people after willing to do it
Watch me. Exploiting people is wrong, even if they’re idiots.
Calm down, no one’s getting exploited. Many people like trying out new features that aren’t available yet for stable releases.
It’s not exploitation if people want to do it

So a bug bounty that pays significantly less
Cant put a price on a badge though!
If I get that badge, can I hide it? (On 𝕏 I can)
Can I kill efficiency mode and get Chrome working again?
using chrome in 2017 was embarrassing. using chrome in 2023 is just sad.
Why use chrome when edge is just better

Maybe he prefers to hand over his data to Google rather than Microsoft.
Well that’s a sentence I never expected to hear
They really think ppl give ah fuck?
I wish they release a tool for their system to work properly. Like connecting to Bluetooth headphones or no full cpu load out of nowhere.
My Bluetooth headphones work just fine. Except every time the connect the automatically set the volume to 100%.
It blows my mind that system file checker isn’t just a scheduled task that works during idle time. Same with DISM.

Yeah even as a technician that’s one I run on the off chance that it actually does something.
Which, sometimes it does, just often enough that I wouldn’t call it useless.
Those are premium windows 14 features.
Ah sudden background updates, how I hate them.
That “system interrupts” is extremely important.
Nice try, Microsoft, trying to get people to use Windows 11. Just focus on fixing Windows 12 and cut your losses.

How do you know someone uses Linux?
They’ll tell you.
I use arch btw.
I use Garuda, FYI
I use Debian BTW

I use windows btw
…and just turn the computer off and wait for the updates to finish.
No need to wait either way under linux.

LOL, that’s why I use Linux.
Yeah, same.
Thats why I use linux.
Fun fact: I’ve been using Mint on my home computer for over a decade. I’ve distro hopped a little bit but Mint is just rock solid reliable. It’s almost perfect.
It says that the tool is being shared around online but I can’t find it, anyone know where to get it? Just curious is all.
