Because Linux exists :p

Unrealistic. Every repair on Windows starts with DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth followed by sfc /scannow

…wait. no… That’s the correct way. The MS MVP in the forum always mix it up and tell you to run them in reverse…

You see, the problem is, that you try to open the Terminal on Windows Home or Pro. Personal use doesn’t include advanced features like Terminal access. Please upgrade to a Windows Enterprise License to continue to be able to use the Terminal.

Alternatively you may try using Copilot to run commands and change system settings in a text based environment.

In my pocket

I bought it back then in the Android… 2.x or 4.x days as the launcher on my phone sucked. Hadn’t much complaints about the stock launchers of my next few phones and forgot about it until I got a Pixel. Wow, the pixel launcher was a complete letdown. Especially the forced unremovable search bar that’s completely useless for me and takes up so much real estate on the screen. Then I couldn’t remove the at a glance widget either (IIRC a big back then, but… Yeah…). I get it, that it’s nice, but… Again: Too much real estate for a clock, a totally unreliable weather info (at least in my area?) and info about the currently playing song.

Searched launchers, remembered Nova and was surprised it was still around and had all the features I wanted. Bonus: it allows me to resize widgets.

I tried Octopi, when the owner change news for Nova hit, but was so used to having folders on the dock from my previous phones and Nova, that I couldn’t use it without that feature. So I tried lawnchair which is basically the pixel launcher but with exactly the features I missed in the original. I can get rid of spotlight and can get rid of the search bar. Widgets are resizable. Also the dock features folders. And I can control the grid size and adjust it to my liking.

Niagara was also recommended to me, but… IIRC in the end it felt to opinionated about the workflow and immediately lost me. Not what I’m looking for in a launcher. (Not saying it’s bad - just that it’s not for me).

I needed to use a code block for that address as several apps had a problem when I tested escaping the back ticks in the address for the inline code. Not sure if you mean that as it renders in it’s own line or if anything else is broken

A plus sign? That’s nothing, LOL

Hey Copilot. Users are reporting errors with the latest patch we released. Among them are a problem with RDP credential prompts, hanging/not completing shutdown and long black screens on boot.

Oh, you’re right. That was my mistake. Let me develop, compile and deploy a new set of patches for you!

Thinking…

Changing shutdown.c… Changing random file.c… Introducing more bugs for a future fix…

And she’s smelling, like she never smelled before!

We don’t need no thought control

Still they chose the platform and pay for it. They actively decided to use it.

Believe me, we would, if we could

Pre AI: Hey, we have 5 billion subscribers to our office suite!

Start of AI: Hey, we have 5 billion subscribers to our office suite and 3 subscribers to our AI offering (currently in their free testing period, plans already precancelled)

Now: Hey, we have 5 billion subscribers to our AI services (that also features an office suite)

Imagine if Microsoft blocked games being released onto XBox if they don’t have a certain amount of AI generated assets and/or “live generated content”.

Shhhh! Don’t tell them this idea, please!

Wut?

But can it run Doom?

Rules for thee,
not for me
