Even with Windows being this far down the drain there isn't a real alternative for normalfags so they won't feel the decline.

Access to a fully functional OS for purpose of recovery is bad how? Even CLI is sufficient, because GUI is optional on Unix inspired systems.

I wouldn't say it's bad but it just always seemed unneccesary? Safe Mode has existed since Windows 95 and accomplished the same sort of thing, I've never had it fail short of hardware failure. Just restart, F8, Safe Mode, uninstall whatever you did that broke it.

The only reason why Windows has Windows RE anyways is because most users are unlikely to have the installation disk or usb drive with all the recovery tools handy, or are unable to make one. I think I still have rescutux on my ventoy drive and that's far more useful then Windows RE

I guess that makes more sense, it would have been introduced around the times disc drives went away and Windows stopped shipping as a CD / DVD
 
Safe Mode doesn't always work. Sometimes, you just need to boot an external OS that runs from RAM, so you can do whatever you need to to the system partition, hence RE.

Biggest difference now is 10-year-old machines don't feel sluggish & retarded. A pretty nice 6th or 7th gen Intel machine is still just fine, even for most games. When Windows 7 EOL'd in 2020, a 2010 CPU like an i7-860 was trash.
 
Microsoft Is Training Its Gaming Copilot AI By Watching You Play Games, Unless You Turn It Off
A user on ResetEra spotted that as part of their network traffic, Microsoft's new Gaming Copilot AI, which is automatically installed on Windows 11 PCs, was sending screenshots and captures of everything they were playing back to Microsoft, so Microsoft could use that data to train its AI models further. The setting is on by default, which means that unless you turn it off, Microsoft is using your gaming time to train its AI.

Wccftech can confirm that when you navigate to Game Bar, and then to Settings, and Privacy Settings, the option for Gaming Copilot to pull "Model training on text" is defaulted to being activated. I found the setting activated on my own laptop, before turning it off.

It's your duty to play with sex mods that give the women beach ball boobs and the men dongs that drag on the ground to mess up that AI

Nah, they'll just use that information to use against you as blackmail when Governments start cracking down on sex mods and games with attractive women.
 
Alright bear with me, I am stupid. I've been building PCs since the Pentium 4 (humble brag teehee, just kidding im old af) and OC'd one to over 4ghz back in the day using my parents a/c floor vent for cooling. I'm a fag Windows fan boy (had a Windows Phone until the day they stopped support)

My i7 was outdated and said it wouldn't get updates on W10 but also wasn't new enough for W11. Bought a brand new i9 14900KS, 64gb of ram and stuffed it into a Z790 Max Wifi with an ancient rtx2070. Pulled my W10 HD from the old build and jammed it into this one.

It won't Auto update to W11. I've downloaded the M$ "Windows Health" .msi program thing but it doesn't do much. Have W11 requirements changed that much ?
Thanks.
Anyway I was glad my first build in ten years fired right up with no errors 🥰

You could always upgrade using a win11 installer iso and selecting upgrade like how you used to do it since Vista (it's what Steve Balmer would have wanted).
 
I'm tired of all these Windows backup notices in W11 and half-afraid that one misclick will start sending all my data up to Microsoft. I followed some guide to disable them and they went for a bit. But have come back again. Especially annoying is the one that appears in Windows Explorer in the address bar which would be all too easy to click on trying to navigate.

Did you check your activation status? If you replaced the motherboard it would flag your activation and you would have to reactivate using their activation diagnostics tool (or re-running massgrave). I don't think Windows will allow you to upgrade if it's not activated, normally it should give you a warning but this being jeetware they probably don't have a proper warning

I think Macos is a realistic replacement unless you're a gamer. Apple hardware is really good for laptops, and mainstream software is well supported. There are some edge cases, but in most cases its perfectly capable. Despite the issues I have with some of Apples design decisions, I think it speaks volumes that most normies I encounter genuinely like their MacBooks, while the ones on Windows simply tolerate it.

Windows is constantly 1 step forward 2 steps back, and it really seems to be catching up over the past few years. 11 wasn't even as bad as people made it out to be at first, but the forced adoption of garbage, incomplete features is clearly having an impact.
