I would be down for some cajun-spiced KFC right now.
Microsoft’s implementation of the feature is called Windows Update Delivery Optimization.
Here’s a short optimisation guide: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/windows-delivery-optimization.html
Fundamentally it’s not like the Bittorrent protocol, even though there are similar behaviours and the result is the same. Microsoft retains the ability to stop the network from seeding updates and has ways of only targeting specific supported configurations to receive new updates.
Ah, Russian boot-licking.
This is the basis of the ASUS warranty issues recently when they had exploding AM5 motherboards and vague text about EXPO support voiding warranty, painting themselves into a corner when they only had unsupported firmware that would technically void warranty.
It doesn’t matter that the company says “Oh we won’t enforce that rule” but they still keep the rule in place.
macOS? You gotta be kidding. Windows and Office is huge.
Just the entrenchment of Sharepoint and Outlook alone is enough to make switching to anything else a difficult prospect.
The launcher isn’t really the problem, it’s the fact that Overwatch 2 isn’t making them any money!
Spez has almost never had the gift of foresight.
“We need to be fair in our broadcasting!”
Yes, but you don’t have to platform Nazis.
That’s probably why digital displays still have analog speedometer options. At a glance it’s easier to tell what’s happening with your speed, rev count, and other levels like fuel.
But much of that utility is useful for manuals and ICE-powered cars.
FTC really screwed themselves over building their arguments in the courtroom.
Right at the beginning of the announcement, Spencer appeared in an interview talking about it and started listing old ActiBlizz IP that the company owned, but did nothing with, saying that it would be cool to bring some of those franchises back.
There’s no way you can argue against that. Bringing more games to consumers was always Microsoft’s argument for the deal going through.
I’ve just deleted Relay. End of an era, but I’m no longer going to use Reddit as much as I used to.
They probably looked at Facebook’s latest dumpster fire involving hauling data outside of the EU and decided to just not find a workaround.
They don’t want users to be able to wipe their own chats manually or via GDPR requests.
If anyone asks, they will be told that the data is gone, but we all know that’s not the case. They do have backups.
Can confirm. Clearing cookies on Edge browser on Windows 11 fixed the login issue.
Oh it’s going to be bad. Really bad. Microsoft said over a billion people were using Windows 10 & 11, but the vast majority of those were on machines that already ran Windows 7/8.1 just fine (and may have been upgraded forcefully).
They tried once to limit hardware compatibility as Intel was switching over to 10th gen by giving people a cut-off point where new versions of Windows 10 would not work on hardware older than Intel 8th gen, but it was so poorly received that they walked it back (and did it with Windows 11 instead).
An actual EOL is going to be very tough to pull off because everyone expects their computers to last more than three years now.
That will see more increases over time, especially as Windows 10 EOL approaches.
Which is strange because there seems to be support for notifications of a mention? Jerboa even has a section for it, but no one has mentioned me yet so I don’t know if it works.
I similarly have separate logins. One day there’ll be easier integrations, but I don’t think kbin is it for now.
Well yes, it’s really difficult to switch when government only just managed to migrate to Windows 10 on most machines, and still uses Microsoft’s document formats for everything aside from PDF.
Up until a few years ago, UNISA was still using public-facing IIS servers and SARS was paying up the wazoo to maintain old Flash applets that people used to file their taxes.
One government department managed to waste R5 million on a WordPress website that used a $15 theme.
