Didn't they proudly say how much of windows is AI generated slop code a few months ago?

I think it has more to do with the new atomic update and their now-usual not-testing aproach.

It looks like finally after almost ten years they will complete the dark mode on windows. But some buttons will still be with the light theme, they ran out of ai credits and need to wait for next month to replenish the free tier

Linux users: "See what we mean?"

Windows users: "La la la! I can't hear you! Losing my data is clearly better than having to learn something new!"

The reporter’s own “test” proves this is caused by faulty drives unable to sustain the speed they advertise, not Windows.

Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?

Why would IO speed be a factor in whether a user's data is corrupted? That just sounds like a race condition.

I switched to Mac after my old Asus laptop went out. I figure why bother with a PC laptop, it’s not gonna game and let’s see what the fuss is about. Love my MacBook Air. So then our desktop dies and I give my wife 3 options. A Mac, a cheaper PC, and a more expensive PC. She’s Android, figured she’d want to stick with Windows, but she picked the Mac! So happy. I mostly game on Switch and Xbox these days so that’s fine.

I keep feeling like I left Windows at the right time.

“We looked around and could not find other reports resembling such situations. The problem has been reported by a Japanese PC builder and enthusiast and some of the comments on the thread seem to indicate that others there may be experiencing similar issues. So it could be a region-specific thing too”

Yesterday I got into the process of installing Windows 10 onto my laptop because I am selling it tomorrow. I asked the buyer if he wanted it with an OS or not, and he replied that he wanted Windows 10 Pro. I downloaded the ISO and installed it to one of my M.2 SATA SSD drives with a USB adapter.

Before installing Windows over my Linux installation, I did a SecureErase to wipe out my drive with the Linux installation because that is the SSD I am selling with the computer.

After installing Windows 10 from the M.2 SATA SSD with a USB adapter to the SecureErased drive, I instantly got multiple error messages about SMART checks saying that the SSD was broken/corrupted. I had never seen this POST error message when booting that computer with a Linux installation.

Well, I obviously had to change the drive to another one where I got the Windows installation to work normally without the BIOS POST error message.

I really cannot be sure what caused that. Can SecureErase do that so SMART checks report the drive as corrupted? Or was it the Windows installation?

what movie is this from? I feel like I've seen it before many, many years ago.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The original Ghostbusters.
