Data loss. Happens during crash...😁

#windows #halloween

Can anyone help me how can I turn off the heating on my Windows 11 machine? Thanks.

The only other explanation I can think of is having a Bitcoin miner installed called System Idle Process.

I don't know when was the last time I heard the fan was stopped, not in the past few days. (Yes, I tried to turn it off and on again.)

A screenshot showing a Windows 11 machine with a Task Manager and Open Hardware Monitor open. There are a lot of task running but none consumes any significant CPU, the system is 98% idle. The CPU temperature however is around 95 °C (203 °F).

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

Support-Ende von Windows 10 soll für gigantischen Müllberg sorgen

Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der Support von Windows 10 eingestellt. Das könnte dazu führen, dass rund 240 Millionen PCs als Elektroschrott auf einer Mülldeponie landen, wie Analyseunternehmen Canalys befürchtet. Wären alles diese Geräte aufeinandergestapelte Laptops, wäre der Stapel in etwa 4.080 Kilometer hoch. Das sind rund 600 Kilometer mehr als der Durchmesser des Mondes.

It's hard for me to emphasize just how much #Windows 11 is just a nasty lead paint coat over Windows 10. Still, I'll present you this nugget for your consideration: behind every round corner Windows 11 contextual menu, there's your good old square corner Windows 10 contextual menu with more options.

It isn't hidden, there's a contextual menu entry just to bring up the old menu! 🤯

Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google

Microsoft has started using pop-ups that appear over the top of apps and games to convince Windows users to switch to Bing.

Basically, it makes a distro like @kalilinux look innocent to the casual shouldersurfer, as it looks like a current version of #Windows or a more harmless #Linux distro like @ubuntu at first glance.

Linux never wanted to take over the desktop.

If you use #TBlock on #Windows, you may experience the following problems:
- Slow boot time
- Huge delay before internet connectivity

Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do about it. Once again, this shows how #Microsoft wants to lock their users in an environment without letting them the possibility to escape.

Supporting big hosts file is not that much of a challenge, it works like a charm on most POSIX compliant systems. But M$ wants to track you and they'll always try to do so.

This is my second laptop with an SSD and a HDD, and I feel like I've done the space allocation wrong because I'm getting long loading time for video games. Here's what each drive currently holds:

  • SSD (128Go):
    • #Windows OS
    • Program Files (mostly utilities)
    • System "My Documents" folder
    • Hibernation file


  • HDD (1To):
    • Video Game libraries
    • My actual documents folders
    • Swap (pagefile.sys)



Is there something glaringly wrong I'm doing that I should change to squeeze the most performance out of this setup?
