Free(that word again) software from MSFT with NO agenda whatsoever...jeez, been hearing that for a year now. With the "upvote scam" in full effect on the insider forum for the past 6months ,apparently with the full blessings of the owner/creators, MSFT has no credibility as far as i'm concerned.
Dont forget to vote- and vote often ! great post,Dozer !
I am big into politics now that i am getting old enough to figure out how it affects me. Cheating is bullshit, and there is NO WAY msft wont tamper with the outcome if they have control of it. we found that out a few years ago in florida when the electronic voter box owners were tampering and losing votes
I have been at a re-edumacation class the last 2 weeks out in eastern Minnesnowta. I saw a win10/surface pro commercial about bugs pretty fitting because the last time i used it , it was Full of bugs! abancommercials.com/indexVideoDetail.php?id=2306&tipo=det

shit just makes me want to PUKE. My 3 yr old MSI GT780DXr is twice the machine as one of those crappy surface pro's. Sure i cant finger-fuck the screen, BUT i hate cleaning windows and pc screens anyway.
"Microsoft has been a major player in H-1B lobbying and has also used the program extensively. Founder Bill Gates has even testified about the program to Congress, as part of his “sky is falling” policy proposals that included the controversial Common Core education plan. Ars-Technica wrote:
In probably the most controversial portion of his testimony, Gates said that the shortage of trained scientists and engineers had grown so severe that it required a dramatic increase in the number of highly-skilled immigrants permitted to enter the country. He charged that the current limit of 65,000 H-1B visas per year “bears no relation to the U.S. economy’s demand for skilled professionals,” and noted that all of the visas for fiscal year 2008 were snapped up on the first day they were available. As he has done before, Gates asked for a dramatic expansion of the H-1B cap.
Despite the Gates’s claims, there doesn’t appear to be any such labor shortage. One indicator is that college-educated workers in computer and math occupations saw their average hourly wage rise 5.3 percent from 2000 to 2011. That’s an average wage increase that’s just less than half a percent per year. If there were such a dire shortage in a market-based economy, you’d expect wages would have risen.
The real problem isn’t a shortage of workers, it’s that H-1B workers have two big advantages over American workers that make them highly desirable to companies like Microsoft and Facebook.
First, H-1B workers are locked into jobs at much lower wages than average United States salaries. Those cost savings are part of what drives down U.S. wages. This caused even famed free market economist Milton Friedman to say in 2002 that “there is no doubt that the H1-program is a benefit to their employers, enabling them to get workers at a lower wage, and to that extent, it is a subsidy.”
There’s another advantage to H-1B for employers that’s harder to quantify but very real: because they operate under the fear of being sent back to their country if they lose their jobs, H-1B workers are easier to manage.
President Obama talked about workers living in the shadows, but it’s fair to say the entire H-1B guest worker program is living in the shadows." this explains the stupidity of the MSFT cut-n-past stupid answer syndrome on the MSFT forums! full story here: www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/05/28/zucked-silicon-valley-scared-death-trump-part-1/

Wouldn't it be funny if MSFT's own security software found a vulnerability that they themselves caused? FalsePositive ? Oops ! MSE scan results on 3 Win7 machines this morning. Anybody else seeing this ? For real, not joking

Widespread issue on any 7machine with March2017 security updates. Cumulative Quality rollup or Security ONLY,either way the service host process seems to cause it during quick or full scan. Spooky similar to Win10 reports of ActionCenter stating that Defender dealt with "malware" even though the Defender gui says otherwise. BTW, MSE on Vista has no such problems.
<Rick> Good video. It's almost hard to believe that at one time Windows 98 was the resource hog, but even then, it still ran circles around what Windows 10 can do on today's modern hardware and look a heck of alot better doing it.

<Rick> As stated elsewhere, So much for the launch of Windows 11, "The Great Crash." Myself, I had a hard time getting into the site listed above, when I did get in, the video was partly done and then it crashed. There has been many other reports of crashing.

<Rick> I see Microsoft has been very quick to pull down reports of site crashing regarding the Launch of Windows 11 on the Microsoft Insiders forum.

<Rick> The rebroadcast is working okay.

<Rick> With reports of people being able to install the dev-edition of Windows 11 on machines not meeting spec, I thought I would give it a what-the-heck try. Lucky me, I'm caught in the downloading, doesn't meet spec, clearing, re-downloading loop on my machine!

<Rick> I've recently purchased a license for ArcaOS from www.arcanoae.com/ to play with. First impressions, it's still OS/2, but it now has a Linux twist to it.

<dozrguy> laptop shit out and am stuck buying a new one. os win11 as fucked as win10 was?
Oct 2, 2021 12:56:10 GMT -6
<Rick> Let's see ..., my impression of Windows 11 is that it is a spruced up version of Windows 10 requiring a 64-bit processor plus a piece of security hardware that is less than 4 years old in order for it to run.

<Rick> On the plus side, Microsoft is supposed to be supporting Windows 10 for some time to come for those of us still using systems with I7 or older processors.

<dozrguy> i tried installing win10 om the 'shitout' pc this morning usung media creation. EPIC FAIL! went into an endless bootloop. win7 reinstalled just fine

<dozrguy> STILL so much bullshit and so little time for the kiddie ideas from the hill. My new laptop (MSI GE 11-UH461) would be an awesome "10" machine but because of Winblows I can only give it a "2"......wasted $3500

<Rick> Hello. Just checking in.

<isidroco> Each new w10 update adds >100000 useless files to \Windows\Servicing\LCU\Package_for_RollupFix... folders. Even in a SSD takes time to delete that stuff. In each version they manage to worsen stuff.

<dozerguy> still traffic here?
Oct 9, 2022 17:32:44 GMT -6
<Rick> No, there does not seem to be very much traffic these days. I still check in from time to time.
