  Y’all remember when the start menu would actually do a good job searching and opening programs, instead of searching Bing for “Steam”. I don’t want to search Bing for Steam, I want to open Steam, that is why I am typing into the start menu and not into a browser’s search box.

  The malware allowed arbitrary code execution, it sounds like the FBI sent the malware a command to delete itself.

  That’s pretty darn cool!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Ending that completely': Facebook gets rid of fact-checkers in wake of Trump's election⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure I want Facebook/Zuckerberg deciding what is and isn’t ‘fact’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even Microsoft Notepad is getting AI text editing now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They should have stopped after they added tabs to notepad. That was an actually good change.

  The whole point of the app is to be simple, any, any extra fluff is detrimental to the core functioning of the app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We took on Google and forced them to pay out £2bn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What the case was about is ~20 paragraphs down for some reason:

  In its 2017 judgement, the European Commission found that Google had illegally promoted its own comparison shopping service in search results, whilst demoting those of competitors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft details security/privacy overhaul for Windows Recall ahead of relaunch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I still don’t want my computer screen recording everything I do. Nor do I want the computer of everyone I give my personal details to (think, DMV, etc) to also screen record everything they do. This is a massive security nightmare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft promises major performance improvements for modern Windows 11 apps⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was pretty pumped back when they announced the app store. I thought it was going to be more like a linux repo, but with optional paid items. I wanted a one-stop-shop for updating my computer.

  Then it turned out it didn’t support desktop apps (for a very long time) and had none of the advantages a linux repo has. Used it once, and realized I had already wasted too much of my life on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making its employees come back to the office five days a week⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoy how Amazon talks a big game about how great they are for the environment and their pledge to stop climate change, then they force workers to commute to the office who have been happily doing their jobs over the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes them easier to separate.

  If you buy cheese sliced by your grocer, they generally won’t put anything between the slices, maybe just some wax paper.
