The only thing I found is that you need to install a video player, an image viewer and other minor things that don’t get included on the OS.
Upside is you don’t get all the normal windows bloatware, and you choose when to update not the computer shutting down for an update when it feels like it.
I only moved off 7 about 18 months ago. Check out W10 LTSC IoT It’s much nicer than regular W10 and it’s supported until 2032
I’m 37 years old, I only buy digital when it’s cheap and easy.
I will never ever buy a $100 game digitally. Years ago when I bought overlord, overlords DLC and overlord 2 all for $5 and I got 40+ hours out of it… That was 10 years ago… If that is taken away from me then I’ll be annoyed but I won’t want to burn down the entire industry.
Rockstar a few years ago created a terrible remaster of GTA3, GTA VC and GTA SA and they wanted to exterminate the original PS2 versions.
I’m Happy the digital versions but I still have all of the PS2 discs in a box somewhere.
GTA VI is releasing soon with no disc… Enjoy! No disc… And no Lazlow… I’ve got plenty of other games on discs I can play.
Which is really depressing as the only time I buy digital is when the games are 60% off or more.
As an Australian, with 8-10 shots of alcohol in my system I seem to get the same response I got on Reddit.
I’m just talking shit and people are getting offended. At least here I wake up with 1-2 replies telling me how wrong and foolish I am instead of Reddit where I woke up with multiple replies and downvotes because everyone is so self-righteous.
It’s why 4Chan was good… “WAS” good I could get tipsy, Talk a bunch of shit, call the French, Italians, Greek and Turks a bunch of arse holes. 1 or 2 of them would call me the N word or call me a cunt and tell me to kill myself and I could just laugh and move on.
Reddit you say "Lol I don’t like Nazis* or “Israel is a terrorist state” and you get banned…
Here I can fairly call Israel a terrorist state but people still get offended if I call France, Italy or Greece useless.
Don’t get offended… I’m a drunk Australian arsehole… Insult me back!
That’s actually really cool. All I can think of with AI is how many of the users I support are going to start throwing critical, private customer data into it asking for a recap… Completely unaware of how it’s going to store that data
It’s pretty accurate, AI and every other nonsensical idea in the IT world is making everything worse because all the big bosses want to see AI take off.
Baby Boomers destroyed the world and hated the Internet Gen X and the very oldest of millennials want to see AI take over… They’re now aware that AI will take their jobs too.
Gen Z and younger millennials are using AI daily.
I am 37 years old, I work in IT support… I know now to Google things, I know how to talk to people… So I don’t need AI.
Yes yes I’m very very aware how great AI is for science and medicine… I’m not in either of those fields so I don’t need AI.
Okay update, It’s 100% AI scripted, voice acted and animated.
I have no idea what AI China has but apparently most of the videos are 2 mins, but there’s entire series.
Seems like most of it is just about marital problems between a husband and wife in different times and settings.
I’m not sure about the script or voice acting as I don’t understand Mandarin, but visually the ENTIRE thing is AI rendered.
He’s sadly right… My wife is Chinese, she watches AI Chinese dramas and she has told me that most of China watch AI dramas. And Gen Z watch AI, Everyone younger than 30 relies on AI.
Now before you downvote me, I’m 37 and I’ve worked in IT since I was 19… AI gives me nothing I can’t find for myself. The only time I’ve used AI was when chat GPT was fresh and new and I told it to be more sarcastic and snarky in it’s answers and I argued with it for 2-3 mins before I got bored.
Humans are much better at arguing with me and being sarcastic to me.
I don’t care for AI, Turn off all the air conditioners and AI burns out.
No idea, I rarely posted, I mostly commented.
My company is moving to Windows 11, I had one of my service desk teammates tell me that for an IT support person I’m very critical of change
Before Windows 11 I was critical of change because every change came with no new training for my team and a giant email to the company explaining very lazily about the changes and with the same text at the end of every email… “Any problems call the service desk”.
Now we’ve lost active directory… Now I’m in a position where an incredibly incompetent IT security have restricted our access to intune and Entra and then the business wants me to still perform my daily duties as normal.
Upside is that same IT security is getting removed in the next few weeks.
Probably to be replaced by someone else even worse.
I just want to learn how to use Entra and Intune… Everything Microsoft touches turns to shit.
Active directory just worked… It was built when people at Microsoft actually knew how the operating system worked… None of those people are still at Microsoft…
Yep happened to me too I had a good 60k+ Karma on a 5 year old account.
Say that Nazis should be fought back against and that Child predators should be locked away for life and Reddit decided I was a dangerous individual and banned me.
Microsoft had Windows 95, Windows XP and Windows 7. Microsoft have a lot of things that they bought then destroyed… Go Google Microsoft acquisitions Here
Look how many of those companies and software no longer exist.
Now my company is moving to Windows 11, I see all these problems and bugs because Microsoft company-wide actually don’t understand the product that they support.
Go to your windows computer, go into the settings, dive deep into the settings… The older the UI looks the more likely it’s going to be actually in control of your computer.
Office and Azure mainly. But Azure is getting spanked by AWS.
I hate Amazon too btw. Just adding more information.
Yep, Love GOG
I’ve been a PlayStation guy since 1998. Looks like the PS5 is my last PlayStation console.
Steam being all digital is fine because I’m buying games for 75-90% off… If I got told I was losing access to a game I played $2.50 for 6 years ago and played for 40 hours I would… actually I’d still be annoyed but less annoyed than losing hundreds of dollars.
At least he’s not that creepy pedo Shakespeare.
When Shakespeare makes up 500 words for one of his crappy plays he’s called a hero… When I drunkenly say a word that doesn’t exist I’m called a drunk lunatic.
