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.

Can't believe my first post is 2 years old now

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.

today as the reminder....

Stunning graphics.

There's now a separate department that mainly focuses on AI, and it was created just more than a year ago?

That makes a lot of sense on why they're always excited on it.

At least Copilot will always be better than Google freaking Gemini.

I used to play this Roblox game back in 2017 but was broken in Mid-2018 due to the deprecation/removal of legacy physics solver. I miss this game...

Have you ever seen a Roblox game look like this?

Win 11 V25H2 just came out.

Doubt there would be much, but let's see what's new in this.

Happy New Year 2024 from Puerto Rico!
