The Windows OS Thread - Formerly THE OS for gamers and normies, now sadly ruined by Pajeets

  • The Kiwi Farms was targeted with a historic DDoS attack last week. Confirmed reports of 2.8Tbps on an individual provider, topping 4.8Tbps when known volumes are added together, and possibly up to 8Tbps if the attacker is believed. This is the third of fourth largest recorded.

paint.net now belongs to Paint.NET

Holy shit, that's amazing! GG to the paint.NET dev. I'm personally not a big fan of how "updoot-brained" he is about forcing updates on you, but I'm happy he finally got the domain. I had fallen for it many times myself.

Hopefully it sets a precedent that if you own a domain but not the trademarks of the domain then it's worthless to anyone but the trademark holder.
 
I have the latest Windows update and in the good news, the Start menu and apps do actually start up noticeably more quickly. I am as surprised as anybody else.

On the downside, the idiotic and crappy way search is handled in Windows explorer remains unchanged. Example: You search by name in a directory structure and some of the results are directories matching that name. Great - you click on one of those to open in a new tab in Explorer. What do you get in that new tab? The normal directory path? No. You get "Search Results". Or double click to enter that directory and the path above is still deriving from "Search results".

There is no clean way to get directly from a folder you have found via Search to a normal path for that folder. You have to right click on it, select "Copy as Path", go to either the current address bar in Explorer or one in a new tab, paste the result in, delete the quote marks from either end, then hit return. Now you have a normal file path that you can go up and down from, etc.

Idiocy.

I had tried out the Experimental build from early May, and it was already like that. Menus would open noticeably faster. You still can't move the taskbar, though, am I right? I couldn't, and that build's number was 29591 — far ahead of whatever you might have got.

Still can't move the taskbar, correct. MS still have a long way to go. Not just on the outer parts of Windows like this, either, but down in the nuts and bolts compared to Linux as well. Honestly, their entire development process seems to have ground to a screeching halt sometime from around five years ago.
