I’ve been hearing some Windows 12 rumors. From the patterns I picked up:

Win 7: Success

Win 8: Fail

Win 10: Success

Win 11: Fail (or Mixed)

So, Windows 12 should be the next superior, right?


Well, I don’t know…

These are entirely speculative but people have been saying that Windows 12,

  • Will heavily rely on cloud services.

  • Heavily AI integrated.

  • Some subscription-based PCs.

If those are not the most terrifying things ever, I don’t know what is.

Just from reading those 3 components, it sends off an immediate shock of unpleasantness. This does not sound good at all. Imagine locking an entire OS behind a subscription paywall. That’s gotta be the most depressing thing I’ve ever heard.

If Win 12 breaks the pattern, we’re doomed.

Microsoft has been part of my life for over a decade. Just from watching the history of its selfish CEOs and the biggest Win 11 controversies, I’m experiencing some disillusionment.

I still use Win 11 because it’s just simply very convenient for me for my daily work, and I was able to heavily tweak its settings to get it to fit for my comfort. Plus, I experienced little to no issues with it. I haven’t gotten any ads, either.

Alright, I need to shut up before I unintentionally annoy anyone.

Then again, data collection, privacy, and offline support is one of the 3 most fundamental aspects everyone is talking about as of now.

Pretty much all I got. I couldn’t find anything else to say.

See ya.

Pretty strange that some portions of the game have no voice acting to some extent.

I'm 90% sure other people skip a lot of dialogues because of how unfathomably HUGE this game is.

This is just embarrassing. Only 2 or maybe 3 brand new IPs by the 9th generation and then this.

Good thing I got my PS5 Pro over a year ago, and considering how careful I am with my devices, it can last years or even decades.

Opening Microsoft Word now has this new...banner...

Really shows how they love AI this much; they still believe it's a "foundational" technology and it positively impacts the world.

I need @Danyo_ to send an assassin to teach them a lesson or something.

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.

I was looking for good video editors other than Clipchamp as a Windows alternative to VN for my iOS devices and my Mac, and I came across this.

I was initially interested, until I realized really basic features, even 60 FPS, were locked behind a paywall.

There may be finally some hope for Windows as the backlash from users and even enterprise businesses were strong enough.

I also heard they are probably redirecting their engineers to actually fixing real issues.

If this keeps going, then America would never be safe.

Really glad changes like this are rolling out.

Xbox CEO is being replaced by this woman.

Buuuuuttt, I do have some skepticism because she was previously a president of CoreAI of Microsoft with absolutely no gaming background.

And yet, in her note, she said she has no tolerance to AI slop.

That's cute, but do you feel the need to go out of your way to commit this much towards AI?

Another issue is that Copilot 365 hallucinates more than the main Copilot, so it's not that reliable.

I'm still patiently waiting this obsession to stop.
