Microsoft was criticized for the tactics that it used to promote its free upgrade campaign for Windows 10, including adware-like behaviors, using deceptive user interfaces to coax users into installing the operating system, downloading installation files without user consent, and making it difficult for users to suppress the advertising and notifications if they did not wish to upgrade to 10. The upgrade offer was marketed and initiated using the "Get Windows 10" (GWX) application, which was first downloaded and installed via Windows Update in March 2015. Registry keys and Group Policy settings could be used to partially disable the GWX mechanism, but the installation of patches to the GWX software via Windows Update could reset these keys back to defaults, and thus reactivate the software. Third-party programs were also created to assist users in applying measures to disable GWX.

Have you ever seen a Roblox game look like this?

Happy New Year 2024 from Puerto Rico!

Well that happened.

Heres My Opinion about Microsoft from My Mind...

but it's true anyways

Windows 10 Version 10.0.19045.3757 (22H2, Preview Version) Full Update Log: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2023/11/20/releasing-w…

Finally got it. The ROG Raikiri II Xbox controller. Now it matches with my Z13.

I discovered this from an unboxing YouTube video.

I really love the lights and the many options I have configure this with Armoury Crate. It feels super nice, too.

Thank you guys for the likes on my other post and I'd like to show you another screenshot but this time the graphics are Super HD (What the game says), unfortunately choosing this graphical setting will make some collisions stop working properly.

Stunning graphics.

Microsoft is now technically trying to convince people on why AI on almost everything is a good thing with their new "Second Thought" series.

This just proves my point that they have an entirely different vision on this tech than the rest of us.

I used to play this Roblox game a lot as a kid since I was a Titanic fan.

The ship may look oversized but that's because Roblox didn't really know how to handle meshes super well back then so it was built like this. It does bring back a lot of memories.
