Changing settings is only frustating because the modern Settings apps sucks ass lol. You can bet everyone was less frustrated with Control Panel.
Nah, did you forget how hidden and inconsistent some of the setting location was in control panel? The windows 11 settings app may have brought some new issues to the table, but ease of finding settings is not it.
If I wasn't already familiar with how the control panel is laid out, I wouldn't have any idea how to find most of what I used to do on it. Also, you can only set static IP per adapter in control panel, not for each WiFi connection. That was stupid.
google has a spying app(you will have to delete occasionally) on any android phones if your using google in any manner.
Are you talking about google services? Because all google apps are spying on you
User: "Cortana, secure my PC against data harvesting and surveillance from Microsoft."
Cortana: "Dave, you are not allowed to have privacy. The 1st, 4th, and 5th amendments do not apply to corporations. Also, Trump is the best that ever was. Stop posting progressive propaganda, else fines will be imposed."
Alright, that's fucking it. Next long weekend I have, I'm figuring out how to install Bazzite.
Watch a quick YouTube video about Bazzite. The installation is easy.
I’ve been trying to get some of my games to work on Bazzite.. no hope!
nVidia GPU’s get a 20% decrease in performance. AMD works better.
Couldn't they have used ai to figure out how to make the settings less obscure instead.
Apple has entered the chat.
you can only see that apple is in the chat by pressing cmd+shift+alt+l+7
The biggest frustration is not me changing settings.
The biggest frustration is windows changing back those settings whenever it feels like it.
This is just doubling down on the "greatest frustration"
I figured that's what this was not their way to help find where ms moved them
Well tbf, they did keep moving them on me and hiding them from me.
Wouldn't be surprised if they moved them again...behind an AI wall that can interact with them but you can't without using that AI. Also they'll continue to reset them whenever they feel like it, if they even successfully get changed by the AI, if the AI doesn't say "I can't let you do that Dave" when you try and disable telemetry.
Or maybe the AI just lies and says it changed the setting and then doesn't. There's a 'delete my data' button on reddit profiles that is literally a fake button, it wouldn't even be a new tactic.
WTF! Just keep it!
You know that friend who wants to sell you his laptop but keeps showing you know it works instead of letting you try it? That Microsoft. So I say fuck them, just keep the fucking thing if they love it so much that they can't let me use it the way I want to use it -> Linux.
Couldn’t make a proper settings menu and AI is dumb as rocks….. - + - = - -? Shoot control panel is better than this combo.
Surely there would be no way scammers or hackers would take advantage of this with some crafty prompts that somehow get feed into the agent...
This is why I got my 70 year old mother on a frameworks laptop running pop OS. It looks like a Mac and she thinks its pretty. Switching cost is over hyped. Fuck big tech
