| schestowitz | I tried Vista 10 for a few minutes this year | Mar 10 05:16 |
| schestowitz | it felt like a massive step back, Windows becoming toy-like | Mar 10 05:16 |
| schestowitz | but I suppose Vista 8 was already a step towards that | Mar 10 05:16 |

| psydread | a preinstalled image on a laptop with a Core i5-5200U was so broken that I could never even get it connected to the network, but Vista 10 ran like a dog on that too | Mar 10 05:20 |
| psydread | so essentially you need the latest bloatware release to run on beefy hardware, preferably the latest | Mar 10 05:21 |
| psydread | and I believe this is done on purpose so they can keep inflating the numbers | Mar 10 05:22 |

| MinceR | if you trusted microsloth with your data, then that data couldn't have been important | Mar 10 07:59 |
| MinceR | it seems the current "update" bricks UEFI, though | Mar 10 08:00 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: there has been about one of those updates every year of windows 10 existance. | Mar 10 08:01 |
| MinceR | and yet the cultists hold out | Mar 10 08:02 |

| MinceR | amazing | Mar 10 08:02 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft is data-mining people's fart using Cortana :-) | Mar 10 08:02 |
| oiaohm | Please note bricked UEFI you can normally data back on a different machine. | Mar 10 08:02 |
| schestowitz | Then sells it to insurance companies ;-) | Mar 10 08:02 |
| oiaohm | The worse is where windows as serous properly wiped data. | Mar 10 08:03 |
| oiaohm | No backups it gone. | Mar 10 08:03 |
| oiaohm | UEFI issues are down around 10 on the list of the worst updates done by Microsoft by windows 10. | Mar 10 08:04 |
| MinceR | they started doing that well before Backdoors10, though | Mar 10 08:04 |
| MinceR | winblows 98 did it, for example | Mar 10 08:04 |
| oiaohm | Exactly its been on going. | Mar 10 08:04 |
| oiaohm | I don't understand why its not in the Media like darn Microsoft has destroyed you data again. | Mar 10 08:04 |
| MinceR | because microsloth pays them too much | Mar 10 08:05 |
| MinceR | and also has them by the alleged computers | Mar 10 08:05 |
| oiaohm | I don't think the effected users would like media users been upbeat and saying the truth its not the worst Microsoft has done to you. | Mar 10 08:05 |
| MinceR | oh, and also because of the most popular religion: the Church of the Almighty Money | Mar 10 08:05 |
| MinceR | microsuck has tons of money, therefore they are sacred | Mar 10 08:05 |
| oiaohm | really need to be truthful its not the worst for best outcome of end users. | Mar 10 08:07 |
| oiaohm | As in don't panic your data is still there a few simple steps to fix the uefi and tell windows to unhide you files everything will be back. | Mar 10 08:07 |
| MinceR | their PR stunts also tend to work out, because humans are an incredibly, dangerously stupid species | Mar 10 08:07 |
| MinceR | step 1: buy a real computer, not one crippled with UEFI | Mar 10 08:08 |
| MinceR | step 2: install a real OS on it, one you can trust with your data | Mar 10 08:08 |

| oiaohm | If a button existed somewhere on earth to instantly end the earth you could bet some idiot human will push it sooner or latter. | Mar 10 08:08 |
| MinceR | if there was one to just end the human species, it's highly likely i would push it | Mar 10 08:08 |
| oiaohm | Really I could see making a movie where alien comes to earth as a arms dealer who real objective to have humans kill themselves with him having to put in very little effort and the countries of the world falling for it. | Mar 10 08:10 |
| MinceR | sounds like a lot more effort than a spacefaring alien would need to put in | Mar 10 08:10 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: depends you could go to all the effort of sending complete army to invaide or some other high expensive weapon. Or send 1 robot arms dealer who you don't care if it dies to hand over the information for them to kill themselves. | Mar 10 08:12 |
| oiaohm | Also be prove some fun alien tv to watch as the idiots on earth do themselves in. | Mar 10 08:12 |
| oiaohm | Lot of fun in this where you have the aliens watching the earth as a survival show and that of course is the funding for the arms dealer being sent to earth. | Mar 10 08:14 |
| oiaohm | Of course the completely stuffed earth can be mined at the end because it no longer has any owners. | Mar 10 08:14 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: and of course the core could be the arms dealer selling the breakable shield class weapon and unstoppable spear with the catch using 1 against the other equals by by earth. | Mar 10 08:18 |

| psydroid | schestowitz, I just run mine headless or with Fluxbox most of the time, but I find it interesting that an architecture change (but with ARM chips that come in much higher volumes than x86 chips) is what will ultimately undo Microsoft and Vista in the market. I am not saying anything new, but it was an architecture change combined with "good enough" software that undercut Vista's position. I just don't get that no one sa | Mar 10 11:22 |

| superkuh | duh duh duh, another bites the dust | Mar 10 21:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | ReFS used to be available in Windows 10 Pro. | Mar 10 21:54 |
| *Digit has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | Mar 10 21:55 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then Microsoft removed the ability for Windows 10 Pro to make any ReFS volumes that didn't already exist in one of their "upgrades", and then a new SKU that's more expensive appeared at the same time. | Mar 10 21:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you want to keep using a volume you previously created, it won't stop working, and the disk utilities will continue to work on it. You just can't make new ones. | Mar 10 21:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So if you don't want to pay for the new SKU and anything happens to that install of Windows, you have to install the last version of Windows 10 Pro where the Setup program could make ReFS volumes and then update through each release past that one. | Mar 10 21:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a nightmare, but....Windows. | Mar 10 21:57 |
| MinceR | yo dawg, we herd you liek nightmares | Mar 10 21:57 |
| MinceR | so we put a ReFS in your windows. | Mar 10 21:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, since ReFS volumes do not get in-place upgrades, that means you can't use any new features that appear in future versions unless you pay up. | Mar 10 21:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For example, they're bringing symbolic links and data forks back. | Mar 10 21:57 |
| MinceR | (so you can lose data while you lose data) | Mar 10 21:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But you won't be able to use it because it doesn't upgrade older file systems. | Mar 10 21:58 |
| *Digitteknohippie (~user@fsf/member/digit) has joined #techrights | Mar 10 21:59 | |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Wait, I thought ReFS is being phased out. Are you saying it's a thing on "Enterprise"? | Mar 10 22:00 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: From what you're saying, it is being developed, but "Pro"'s won't be able to use it. | Mar 10 22:02 |
| XRevan86 | > Also, since XFS volumes do not get in-place upgrades, that means you can't use any new features that appear in future versions unless you pay up. | Mar 10 22:04 |
| XRevan86 | The most annoying thing about XFS :) | Mar 10 22:04 |
| XRevan86 | But it supports reflinks (if mkfs'd with them) and isn't btrfs or ZFS | Mar 10 22:05 |
| XRevan86 | the latter being ab absolute killer feature when compared to btrfs or ZFS | Mar 10 22:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a special SKU of Pro called Windows 10 Professional Workstation that has ReFS now. It's more expensive. | Mar 10 22:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, they're developing ReFS still, it's just that you can't use it unless you pay up. | Mar 10 22:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | bgroj | Mar 10 22:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Cat on keyboard. :P | Mar 10 22:12 |
| XRevan86 | A special filesystem only for the "elites"… that was hard for me to process | Mar 10 22:13 |
| MinceR | lol | Mar 10 22:14 |
| MinceR | https://hugelolcdn.com/i/570057.jpg | Mar 10 22:14 |
| MinceR | special. | Mar 10 22:14 |
| MinceR | for the money-worshipping idiots who believe that blowing tons of money on unworkable crap makes them "elite" | Mar 10 22:14 |
| XRevan86 | This is even worse than their idea that only Enterprise versions should be able to handle many threads | Mar 10 22:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also pirates that just use an activation crack | Mar 10 22:16 |
| MinceR | they wish their enterprise versions could handle many threads | Mar 10 22:16 |
| MinceR | they couldn't write scalable code if their life depended on it | Mar 10 22:16 |
| XRevan86 | I guess it came out wrong %) | Mar 10 22:17 |
| XRevan86 | It's not that it can do many threads well, it's that "Pro" is deliberately capped | Mar 10 22:18 |
| MinceR | yeah, despite their atrocious scalability, they've still found a way to cripple it further :> | Mar 10 22:18 |
| XRevan86 | Or *was* deliberately capped, they did something after "consumers" with AMD Threadripper 3990X realised their precious OS won't allow programmes to utilise all the threads. | Mar 10 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I filed our taxes and was surprised the IRS owed me $1,000 more because my husband was a student last year. | Mar 10 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'll consider it part of what they owe me for making me pay them to have some foul government bureaucrat questioning my marriage next month. | Mar 10 22:21 |

| psydroid | Windows is figuratively and to some extent literally the new (Open)VMS (but worse), I can't see it surviving beyond 10 years | Mar 10 22:38 |
| psydroid | just look at the governments that are moving to GNU/Linux completely | Mar 10 22:39 |
| MinceR | which is why microsloth is taking over Linux and why FSF and GNU are being destroyed | Mar 10 22:39 |
