  Honestly, yeah - in the same way that being "completely offline" is also a feature in this day and age.

  The deliberate exclusion of a feature can itself be a feature, especially when desirable to the group your product is aimed at.

  For the last couple of builds, people have been reporting DISM breaking with error 0x800f0915 (essentially it can't find a valid repair source). Which they still haven't fixed despite it being known about.

  In today's episode of "Why I refuse to use Windows 11 on my personal machines" - Microsoft breaks personalisation, again, and still haven't fixed DISM.

  Microsoft are doing a brilliant advertisement against their own operating system by breaking it over and over again. Maybe if they had actual humans doing the job, or at least the QC, things wouldn't keep breaking on production.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese memory ban would cut off RAMpocalypse relief⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “The global memory shortage will likely require a whole-of-government approach to solve. The answer to high memory prices is not dependence on subsidized Chinese chips but expanded manufacturing capacity, which will lower costs for US companies and consumers for decades rather than months"

  If only there were a simple alternative to either scenario.
  It's not like lawmakers could go after the AI bros who's reservations of years worth of memory manufacturing is the sole reason for the shortage. That would be socialist /s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG throws shade at Sony with "download it and save it forever" message⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. It'll never stop being ironic that less than 10 years ago Sony published an entire Ad campaign taking the piss out of Microsoft wanting the Xbox One to be digital only, and now they're literally doing the exact same thing

  Still, the current legislative progress in California has to be heartening for the Stop Killing Games movement, which has seen its momentum in the UK stall a bit after a UK Parliament debate on game preservation last November.

  Having seen that debate, "stall a bit" is not the language I'd have used for what happened.
  Multiple impassioned politicians almost completely ignored by the Government spokesperson in an almost certainly pre-written speech asserting that the industry said this was too hard to implement, therefore we're gonna do fuck all for game preservation.
