Simple, NoPilot can just erase all your files. Binaries can't take up memory of they can't be loaded.

More like tell your users to only run services in the cloud and not to run anything on their own computers.

Tell AI to download more RAM

In an OS literally named "Windows " lol

I hate how the settings app is taking over control panel entries to make them worse and show me the original control panel window after going down 3 levels because the stupid fucks can't design UI for shit.

Thankfully, you can still get to a lot of them if you know the name of the control panel applet.

Also, what idiot decided that only one settings window is allowed open at one time?

Microsoft engineers were worried that people missed the joys of MS-DOS and having only one application running at once. Next up, will be the return of base memory versus expanded memory versus extended memory. This ends when they devolve Windows to prove Bill Gates right that 640kB should be enough memory for anyone.

They decided it because there are so many duplicate Settings pages controlling the same thing.

There are over 12 different places to change USB power save settings

Microsoft's army of macbook-using UI "designers" who have to justify their salary so they make up shit nobody wants

I told myself I'd give Win11 (using tools to uninstall all the bullshit/tracking) for 3-4 months before seriously considering linux. I made it 3 months, got tired of having to re-uninstall shit I don't want every update and just flat out wiped the install and installed CachyOS. It's been perfect, even new game releases like Death Stranding 2 worked out of the box, fuck windows.

Oohh, Bazzite?

This is why its been announced now. With all the tracking Microsoft has in W11, including being able to track usage to an email account for most, they will have a good idea who has binned windows and who hasn't.

Its this volume of switching that has them worried enough to actually pretend to fix things. I say pretend as its fairly obvious what they need to remove to reduce the bloat on RAM but their business it tied to it now, like concrete over boots on a mafia snitch.

I have a back up SSD with windows on I swap out to play the very few games that still require it that I just can't give up. But I don't have the need to duel boot anymore. I just keep the SSD to scratch my itch

You say this as if you have been waiting for it?

You, and I both, know they are going to ask Copilot "What can we eliminate in the code base".

Considering 8GB systems are back in vogue, that's a fuckload. More than half your ram just going to the computer existing.

Last time I booted up Windows 10 it was using around 2.4GB at idle

So Windows 12's RAM requirement is on track to being almost 10GB unless they cut it back by 20%?

All that tracking software is bloated.

Suckers keep using it, so what incentive is there for them to deslopify?

I'd personally rather use a Chromebook than Windows.

They still haven't been able to replicate functionality in settings compared to control panel. Going from scratch is just gonna get us the rumored win 12 that's only ai

Since NT 4.0 it's just bloat. They never rewrote the whole codebase. It makes sense for backwards compatibility but falls apart when you're installing a driver via 30 years old GUI.
