You outright ripped off Microsoft Office icons. That makes you less trustworthy. And nothing stays free forever. So how do you pay for this? Leafyhost part duex?

Yes, same thing will happen on macOS.

You can create a separate user, but even a user in the administrators group doesn't have an admin token until elevation. If you trust yourself to not blindly click OK on every UAC prompt, a single user account in the admin group is fin

If you think A/V is that dumb to only look at file extensions and not magic numbers... Maybe in the late 90s? And kids, never curl | sudo.

Yes, there is still the occasional delay in launching apps due to Intertube check.

Yes, it was insufficiently vetted. And the FDA blocked it because of that. Yet we have people wanting to repeat the same mistakes. Like FAA rules, FDA rules are written in someone’s blood. Someone died for those rules so we don’t have to ex

Yes, won't be that quite in depth given no source code, but you can easily look up the NT4 source code on GitHub if you want to dive that deep. I would assume much of that code should still be relevant today. Also worth tracking down a

NTFS will perform directory B+-tree lookups (this is where it walks the path) until it finds the requested file. The Cache Manager caches these B+-trees. From there, it hits the MFT, finds the specific record for the file, loads the MFT rec

NTFS on Linux should be near-par with ext4 on Linux. Remember, I said the _file system_ was just fine. It's that extensible architecture above all file systems on NT that causes grief. The only method to 'turn off' Defender i

NTFS uses atomic transactions, that's the only way it has the ability to recover after a fault. You can read more if you wish in 'Inside the Windows NT File System' by Helen Custer, page 15.

The file system isn't slow. The slowness will be present in any file system due to the file system filters that all file system calls pass though.

Why would you want to?

NTFS is just fine. Stable, reliable, fast, plenty of features for a general purpose file system.

Copilot uses the Bing search index to access public content. Your corporate firewall is irrelevant.

Depends on the flavor. Now has Claude, as well. And Copilot Studio can extend to any model AI Foundry supports.

Access is an FE for db — JET Red, specifically. JET Blue aka ESE is currently used by products like Active Directory and Exchange.

ASync I/O isn't limited to just storage, though. It's /all/ I/O. And yes, the layered storage stack does have a performance penalty to it. But it's also infinitely more flexible, if that is what you need.

As I said, everyone wants Win32. What flavor is up to debate, everyone has their own incorrect opinions.
236.
by p_ing 8mo ago
Why do that when Win32 is what everyone wants? We’ve already had NT + Linux userland; that was WSLv1.

fTPM is in the CPU [package], which has been the norm since around that point in time. Motherboard slotted TPMs should be a rarity, now.

TPM is necessary for security. Microsoft should not relent on this as the largest deployed consumer desktop OS.

Makes no sense to dump a superior kernel and executive for Linux. The Win32 layer is the issue, not the underbelly.
