    Gotta love how they have more than 70% of the market, yet they still need to see line go up, because otherwise they might actually have to improve the product 🫨

    Is hardcore mode where if the computer crashes it automatically deletes any files you had and resets the OS to a clean slate?

    Last night I had to go into powershell to delete an mp3 because for some reason I couldn’t just right click and delete because I needed admin permission. I built you I’m not an admin I’m god

        Yeah not sure that one holds up. I’m happily on Linux now, but permissions are something that often creep up and I need to sudo often.

        It was an old download but it’s weird because everything else in the folder deleted except that single file.

          I have had issues when it was copied from an old hard drive where the files were downloaded by another account name. Windows knows the account IDs don’t match so your permissions are limited. If you don’t like command line you can often go into properties , security, advanced, then use take ownership option, or select user name and check the full control option

      Of course not! You just need to be willing to allow Microsoft to record you while doing some full penetration.

    Microsoft needs to get on this. I would pay money out of my own pocket to be able to upgrade my Windows 11 to hardcore mode at work just so I didn’t have to deal with all of their AI and tracking bullshit.

    And actually I know the company I work for would pay to upgrade all of their employees to the same level. Like they’re sitting on millions of dollars of profit to just be able to turn off the bullshit they’re forcing on us.

      Windows 11 ltsc is Windows with all the copilot stuff removed. Doesn’t even have Windows store. It is what the Pro version of Windows should have been. Was impressed after installing it since even Windows 10 after clean install had bunch of crap like tiktok and messenger to remove. LTSC is the closest to what Windows used to be back in Windows 7 when an OS was just as OS opposed to trying to push people to make online accounts to log into.

    Shit headline. The correct one is “Former Microsoft engineer explains why Windows sucks ‘now’.”
