Wait what? Search in Windows has always been totally borked - it didn't work on XP. That there are third party, my favorite is "Eveyrthing" https://www.voidtools.com/down... that do a so much better job should be an embarrassment to MS, but it seems not...
As long as you are in a situation that you can install and use it.
It shows how pathetic a product Windows is when you have to install outside applications to get raw basic functionality.
It means they'll fix it for the EU but won't do anything for the USA.
I feel badly for you. When people can only post with one angle, it usually involves deep seated trauma. Have you considered therapy?
Have they tried to debloat?
Windows is just a glorified program loader.
And not even a good one. I have been struggling with W11's various issues, like reinstalling onedrive, placing programs on onedrive, which breaks them, it's abysmal audio issues, it's BOHICA updates, that destabilize the system even before installation, randomish program settings changes.
I even started to think "Maybe you're just getting old and losing your touch Olsoc you dotard old twatwaffle!" I mean, it's hard to imagine that Microsoft could put out this bad a product.
Then I tried an experiment. I dug out a W10 laptop that was sitting around, and installed the programs I was having problems with on W11.
And... they worked. Took 30 minutes to install and set up. Worked great - it wasn't me. And there is the undeniable fact that now that W10 isn't supported by Microsoft any more, that it is stable now.
"Which is to say, communists advocate for communism, whatever buzzword they call it this week..."
Or whatever buzzword you call it this week. Communism is an economic system, not a set of "democratic choices". Trump thanks you for your contribution, though.
How do you know he enjoys watching his wife have sex with other men?
They actually just enjoy watching the country they claim to love get fucked.
Even in the darkest of times, humans can find humor no matter the source. You ave evolved into permanent desperate ennui. How's that workin' out for ya?
Which is not evidence of the work week going in the wrong direction, even though it is true.
The change in direction started with Reagan, we just didn't see it at first because of the internet boom (which Reagan did not cause). Prior to Reagan, we had 40 hour work weeks and homes/cars were far more affordable.
Trump is not the problem, Trump is a symptom. We have a Supreme Court captured by billionaires that has reversed law designed to preserve democracy and prevent billionaires from buying power. Billionaires don't want 32-hour work weeks, they want 82-hour work weeks. Billionaires want you making them richer faster and then dying quickly once you are not useful. That is the direction of the country.
No quicker way to solve that problem than put a huge number of people out of work and take away their benefits!
Make a quarter of the population starve and there will be no worker shortage. That's a basic premise of the billionaire mindset.
There's an insight here that demonstrates just how depraved these people are. Current leadership believes that wealthy white men are the only people who matter, they should be the only ones with a vote if a vote should exist at all.
The reason a coalition with christian extremists exists is because the church is the most effective tool to get women to vote with "their men". They need the woman's vote long enough to take that vote away, then they don't need to suck up to the church any longer. Republicans don't care about abortion, it's just an issue to hold the church in order to ironically control a woman's vote.
Similar things are more obviously occurring regarding minority votes. It's really something when Republicans run a black candidate that advocates for restoring slavery. That's where the country is today, yet some notable posters here are strong advocates for these people...
It is not, the administration cares nothing about any class other than the ultra-rich and the money they can get. It doesn't even care about voters, it cares about removing the power of the vote. Republicans understood that democracy was their enemy decades ago, they have been pursuing permanent minority rule for my entire lifetime.
"If AI were compelled to pay royalties on the copyrighted data they trained on, it might slow down a little. But not enough."
You would need a legal basis to compel that, it's not supportable to claim training isn't fair use. Worse, AI billionaires are thieves, they will cheat as laws evolve. That won't slow anything down at all, it will just cost money chasing criminals.
"This administration is pouring gasoline on the fire because they WANT a roaring stock market and a weaker, more insecure middle class."
It's even dumber than that, the administration is nothing but grifters, they are looking to steal for themselves and have no regard for the country at all. I think you are right, the smarter ones likely feel this way. Trump doesn't, he's far too dumb.
"If you're not convinced, why are all the AI people building impregnable bunkers?"
It's a great question, but not a new one. The ultra rich often do this. A better question is why Peter Thiel is preparing to relocate in Argentina. At least one of these cretins is developing a Plan B for an upcoming backlash. Wonder where Elon will run to? Gotta be a reason for those phone calls with Vladimir.
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, they wouldn't reach a conclusion.
Nope, 200 economists will produce 300 conclusions.
I think most people can get behind the sentiment. The tricky part is what should be done. We could argue about that for eternity.
Or we could ask an AI what is going to go wrong and get a quicker answer.
It's fabulous! We haven't seen anything like it in the last half an hour! -- Macy's
