It was funny in early versions of W10, that various "settings" menu's were just links back to the control panel....

Linux has got a LOT better, but the whole "recompile the kernel" stuff was still around in the early 2000's

When I had my Mac I'd ALT+TAB to switch between windows, and then everything would disappear. I used to do support for a "Marketing Agency" so was a 100% Mac shop, and it was interesting to get calls to say they couldn't

OSX works well if you're in the Apple eco-system, just because it's all built to interop. But as a Linux user, who had a stint on OSX because it's closer to Unix, I hated it. Simple things like keyboard shortcuts doing the en

Thank you! This is exactly my position too. I came through with Windows certs, but had always been a Linux guy, and now work entirely with Linux. Windows people don't actually solve problems, hence the joke about "Turn it off and

In zero way is that true, vast majority of Windows "fixes" aren't even that. MS's own documentation is incredibly lacking in actual resolution to problems, just always shifting or work arounds.

As someone who's done the whole Helpdesk -> Sysadmin stuff, working around other "Windows Admins" they don't learn much, all they know is "Deleting this thing seemed to fix" "Reboot". They don&#x27

We're forced onto Windows at my employer (mostly for MDM/management reasons) and yeah, every time we're doing something, or in a meeting. Someone will drop because it want's to reboot. I get "You need to reboot for

And diagnose too, without having a "USB of tools", like the types on LTT talk about all the time. Mysterious binaries from shady websites, great. I can attach a debugger to a process, I can look at the CPU/IO/Network tra

Which in the grand scheme of things, shouldn't "slow down" a system. But this is Windows where it burns IO for no reason

It's funny that Windows is well known for the "BSOD", to the point it became a meme in itself. The BSOD where the computer shits itself so much, that it gives you a nonsensical "error", which you have to use another

I mean, how much "CompSci" do you apply to your OS on e day-to-do. Or even to diagnose an issue? I feel that was half of this article...The author did ZERO investigations

Hell, MS's own "official" documentation for long-standing issues in Windows is to "disable this random key in the registry, we don't know what it is, but it 'works'" Or "Disable IPv6". It&#x

Outside of "Cast" to Google Devices, what is any benefit in Chrome? Firefox works fine now, I don't think I've had those memory issues that used to plague it in forever!

Had a car in front of me have a rapid deconstruction of the engine in front of me while driving down a motorway. Driving into a ploom of steam and smoke, while also being hit with fragments was terrifying.

Same with the UK too, there's a semi-famous guy who regularly posts recordings of drivers on their phones etc. And the sheer amount of hatred he gets, alongside the threats. You'd think he was head of ISIS or something

The "freedom fighters" who love to cuck themselves to oil barons and hand over their cash, rather then building themselves energy independence systems. They will never cease to boggle my tiny mind

"Keep working", or people get injured, or die at higher rates due to faulty vehicles on the road. US road infrastructure is pretty bad at the best of times, highways are devoid of safety and notification systems. Hence why MASSIVE

UK here, so yearly "MOT" inspections. Last year the handbrake was like you say, only on one side. And the seatbelt mount was weak. This year it uncovered two gaping holes near the suspension struts. I can't imagine not having

"Free Money" from what? If they don't need repairing, they can't get it? We have yearly inspections in the UK (twice yearly for any "public" carrying, like a taxi). If your vehicle is in working order you only

Always annoyed me how "Jailbreaks" don't get the same scrutiny as they're software vulnerabilities as they do on other platforms...

They've been doing that for a long while. Publish something to Github in a public repo? It pulls it, scans it, and reports! Especially if you accidentally put in keys
