I am so sick of microsoft's bs

They fill my 400gb SSD with bullshit to the point to where fucking youtube uses 60% of available memory

I can't even launch my favorite game without it fucking crashing to desktop almost immediately

I've emptied the temp, %temp% and even the prefetch folders it barely puts a dent in the damned thing I can't even update my drivers and microshaft is pushing windows 11 down my throat

THERES NO FUCKING ROOM FOR YOUR DAMN UPDATE FFS

Of course money has to be tight so I can't afford to take the pos into a repair shop

I know my computer can handle SE

I haven't played space engineers in so long I'm slowly losing interest in it, it's the only game that truly makes me happy. I don't want it to leave

Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw

Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw

The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their syste

"Privacy and encryption experts told Forbes the onus should be on Microsoft to provide stronger protection for consumers’ personal devices and data. Apple, with its comparable FileVault and Passwords systems, and Meta’s WhatsApp messaging app also allow users to backup data on their apps and store a key in the cloud. However, both also allow the user to put the key in an encrypted file in the cloud, making law enforcement requests for it useless. . .

Both Green and Granick said Microsoft could have users install a key on a piece of hardware like a thumb drive, which would act as a backup or recovery key. Microsoft does allow for that option, but it’s not the default setting for BitLocker on Windows PCs."

Reactions? For Emails?

Outlook is now sending me a little digest of the reactions people have had to my emails, which... why is that even a thing? Not just, Why are people doing that? -- you give folks a way to slap an emoji on something and some percentage of them inevitably will -- but Why is that a feature at all? Having someone "react" to my email tells me nothing of use, I don't even see it for twenty-four hours, and I can't think of any possible situation where it would actually have a use case. It looks like something that Microsoft implemented just for the sake of implementing it, and oh God their products do not need any more useless features. We're full up already. Let my damned electronic mails just act like regular fucking correspondence, would you?

Well crap

Hey there, have been working away, and checked my email. I know, I know, “Danger, Will Robinson, Danger Danger!” Actually, I solved a few problems with it. My old laptops created a problem. With tiny harddrives, I relied on the cloud for storage. Which was great, until the Microshaft subscription rand out. I got the email that my storage was full. Crap. So, this morning, I deleted all of it.…

Retro Software, Fawlty Towers, The BBC and How I Have Discovered More Proof Of The Hive Mind.

I've referred to Windows operating system as Winblows for a few decades.

I've also called Gates' company Microshaft for a good long while based on how they dick us around.

Whilst looking for some details on an obscure UK text game based on Fawlty Towers that was released for the Sinclair ZX81 home computer, I came across this page talking about a BBC game that is apparently horrendous.

This was written in 2013.

My jaw dropped.
