Data loss. Happens during crash...😁


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).


How much small print did you have to read before you could boot your computer for the first time?

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.

La trouvaille scandaleuse d'un chercheur sur #Windows 11



#informatique #OS #Microsoft


As of today, you can access your encrypted #ProtonMail inbox and #ProtonCalendar on #Windows and #macOS without a browser or a third-party email app.

🐧 The #Linux app is also in the works.

Thanks to your initial feedback, these include improvements like:
🗓️ Easier access to Proton Calendar
⏩ Easy migration from #Gmail
🚨 Notification badges
🔠 Improved accessibility and font support

and more!

All paid Proton subscribers can try out the beta today https://proton.me/support/mail-desktop-app

There's a Proton Mail logo on the top of the image. Underneath is the following text:
"Now in beta for paid Proton Mail plans". The text is followed by the logos of Microsoft Windows and Apple.
The screenshot of the Proton Mail macOS app. The mouse cursor is hovering over the calendar icon, and the tooltip saying "Open Calendar" appears above it.

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
https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/30/23851902/microsoft-bing-popups-windows-11-malware


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.

OFC @tails are aware of the issue and are calling out for some maintainer to reintroduce the feature...

@Genders: ♾️, 🟪⬛🟩; Soni L. It's basically the same as "If #Linux wants to take over the desktop, it'll have to become identical to #Windows, just free-of-charge and without malware. No more distros, one Linux for everyone, one desktop environment, one graphical toolkit, only one of each, whatever it is."

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?
