New Windows fuckery: I've set up Windows Update to only get minor and security updates. Until recently it was fine. But now "Windows 11 version 24H2" is available and it really wants to be installed on my computer. Including adding an update icon in the taskbar with a notification badge which I can only "Hide for now". The icon is disabled in the regular settings, and it looks like my last resort is to fiddle with the Windows Registry. Again.

Fuck you Microsoft!

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.

@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.

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?

8 Reasons to Switch from #Windows to #Linux - Make Tech Easier

There's been an upsurge in the number of users switching from Windows to Linux. Here are the reasons to make that switch from Windows to Linux.

Installed #Linux Mint to see what it was all about. My impressions so far.

1st day: Wow! So many features built-in and they work out of the box! It is just like Windows!

2d day: Not everything works actually but it can be fixed intuitively...or not. Some things seem to be too hard to fix, it is better to get used to them. Just like in Windows.

3rd day: But I already have #Windows.

Lmao so #Windows Defender on my work laptop just warned me I had a trojan called "Peekeul.B."

Nothing I can find about it online except from #Microsoft itself: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=Trojan:Win32/Peekeul.B&ThreatID=2147772321

Windows removed it automatically so I looked at the details of what exactly it removed.

Turns out the malware in question is Endpoint Analytics.

That's Microsoft's own software allowing employers to monitor employee computers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/analytics/overview

And according to Microsoft's own antivirus, it's #malware.

"#Windows needs to connect to a few more #Microsoft services yaddi yadda..."

On the day of the release of a critical #Windows 10 security patch.

My Windows: Your OS is up-to-date! ✅
Me: Are you sure?
My Windows: Let me check.
My Windows: ...
My Windows: Oh.
#windows

#Windows 10 has a feature called Fresh Start. From the Settings panel:
Start fresh with a clean and up-to-date installation of Windows. This will keep your personal files and some Windows settings, and remove some of your apps.

In some cases, this may improve your device's startup and shutdown experience, memory usage, Store apps performance, browsing experience and battery life.
I enjoy the #Microsoft engineer's resignation that they can't fix the inevitable bloat, but at least they can provide a one-button reinstall feature.
