Got to get that ad revenue.

The new shortcut for screenshots:

Alt - Ctrl - drill to the eye ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ. Yeah you can use the same eye socket multiple times for now. It's a known ๐Ÿ› bug, but they are going to fix it.

Will it also be coming to windows 10 enterprise version and if so how to revert back?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There's a way to revert it in w11?

At work i need to constantly switch users and even if it's a domain account, the placeholder for the m365 ads is still there. I need a extra click every time i need to logout

Disabled Windows Update and have never been happier.

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At that point please just use another OS. You should be keeping your OS up to date.

Number of times I've been hacked: 0

Number of hours I've wasted reinstalling everything because Microsoft bricked my Windows install with a faulty update: 6.022140857ร—10^23^

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Again, why use Windows at that point?

I don't have the level of schizophrenia required for the GIMP ui to make sense.

Yeah, we live in wild times. Remember when the largest computer outage was caused by that software attack?

Oh wait that was the program meant to protect from attacks.

Switch to Linux, get it over with, get rid of the Microsoft bullshit

Start menu is totally superfluous. Everything in the system can be accessed via a simple rightclick on the start button, skipping the menu altogether

And or it's search function for applications when you don't want a permanent search bar clogging up your taskbar because you like text labels in the taskbar ;)

Screenshots here: https://www.windowslatest.com/2024/09/12/windows-10s-start-menu-design-is-changing-to-make-room-for-microsoft-365/

TL:DR: There is barely any difference at all. They added some account manager, but in general the start menu looks how it looked before.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Apparently it nags you if you don't have a 365 account. So it's just more enshittification.

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Yeah, fuck MS and everyone should try to run away as fast as possible, but this isn't the big thing people should be worried about. I literally didn't notice what was different in those screenshots until I read more. Maybe this is done to add things in the future that'll be bad, but it itself isn't. I'd be much more concerned about Recall.
