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.


Finally, we have something potentially positive.

The president of Windows and Devices has allegedly admitted that Windows 11 “has been fallen behind” so that might explain all of the issues we’re having.

For me, just like since 11’s launch, I faced no problems.

Telemetry is also allegedly and potentially changing in 25H2 (they’re testing it in insider builds), where it only sends data if the OS detects sluggish performance within itself, and those diagnostics data will be held locally at %systemRoot%\Temp\DiagOutputDir\Whesvc.

This honestly sounds way better than automatic sending every few minutes. And realistically, after my rounds of investigations, I really don’t think telemetry is something we should be worrying about. Especially since everything is doing the same thing these days for at least over a decade.


These are yet, more good signs. For me who has followed Microsoft for half of my life, they do have a history of taking these complaints seriously as far back as Windows 8.

We’re living in the Windows 8 era again where something is being so hyped up but not many people liked it.

And right now, even enterprise businesses are not liking this whole AI push.

Like they’re going to make the whole system into an agentic OS. Putting Copilot on the search bar, file explorer, notepad, paint, and several other things? That’s excessive. At that point, they might as well make Copilot OS, which wouldn’t even succeed, either.

But they’re probably going to cut it all down finally and maybe redirect its engineers to fix actually big problems, including telemetry, with its new upcoming 25H2 release.

If this is true, we are so back.

This is a positive change to our society. Real human-made works should present as it always was.

Rare W of Microsoft.

Watermarks is something I always do and encourage. Even if I post some AI images here before, I do that very rarely.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Really glad changes like this are rolling out.

im making a windows 98 simulator in clickteam fusion 25. these screenshots are the only things you can do so far.

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.
