#Microsoft: Update-Verlängerung für #Windows10 für Privatkunden konkretisiert
h…

Ich nutze am Laptop Linux, am PC immer noch #Windows10 - wegen einiger wichtiger Programme, die speziell für diese Umgebung von einem Freund programmiert wurden.
Lachhaft. Wenn man alle seine Daten in die #Microsoft-Cloud lädt, dann bekommt man um ein Jahr länger, bis Oktober 2026

Windows 10: Microsoft gibt nach und macht längere Updates für Privatanwender kostenlos, aber ...
Wer das Programm für erweiterte Sicherheitsupdates nutzen will, muss sich dafür auf einen Deal mit Microsoft einlassen. Einen, der vielen nicht gefallen dürfte

Cool
#Linux #Windows # Ubuntu…

What would a Microsoft engineer do to Ubuntu? AnduinOS is the answer
: It's not radical, but it is slim and pretty – usually a winning combination

Only Microsoft could find a way to uninstall vscode from #windows without being asked 🤷‍♂️

Following up on the post about old #Windows installations, we have this one about floppy disks. Or as some people know them, the "Save" icon.
…

Obsolete, but not gone: The people who won't give up floppy disks
The last floppy disk was made over a decade ago and doesn't even have enough capacity to store a modern smart phone picture, so why do some people still love using them?

Talk about an unholy alliance. #react and #windows. 💀

#Windows11's new #StickyNotes app (a thinly disguised #OneNote) is fucking annoying. Since it is so-called "smart", and it attempts to provide context around the "source" of your note, its window is…

Got a little post about how to use #SSH from #Windows workstations; hopefully will complement folks running #Linux game servers to easily manage their game files with

Howto SSH with graphical app on Windows
The game servers we offer to clients usually run Linux for cost and performance reasons, but one of the common complaints from people is that managing the files on those servers is too difficult. "I can't just drag and drop files to it" or "There's no graphical interface to browse files". This guide will provide a couple tools to hopefully alleviate those issues.

I don’t know about this #macOS #Tahoe glass UI. It's giving me real #Windows Vista vibes.

Finally had enough spare time to re-install my private PC. Off ye go, Windows! Hello again, Debian Trixie!
Zen Browser, Searx, PW manager, everything is ready. Feels like home :)

Fun fact: #Windows 95 (and in some cases the later versions) had a very suboptimal implementation of idle state — they would run a busy loop, heating the CPU unnecessarily. Of course, you could work around this by installing a third-party program that would detect this state and use a more optimal HLT instruction instead.
So you could say that the purpose of such a program was to pretend that it's doing something, so that the system wouldn't fall into its own idle loop.

Wat dat dann? #adobe #acrobat bringt neuerdings den #Windows Explorer zur Absturz Schleife? 🤬

Ciekawostka: #Windows 95 (a w niektórych przypadkach i nowsze wersje) miały niezbyt optymalną obsługę stanu bezczynności — wpadały w pętlę nieprzerwanego sprawdzania, czy mają coś do zrobienia ("busy loop"), niepotrzebnie grzejąc procesor. Oczywiście, można było to obejść, instalując program, którego jedynym zadaniem było wykrywanie tego stanu i przejmowanie obsługi bezczynności przy wykorz…

there is something profoundly funny about how mainstream tech now talks about how #Linux-based handhelds are better at power management than #windows-based ones. what’s next? “use linux for better printer support!” or “sound is only reliable on Linux tbh”
Really curious where the Proton train wi…

Day 1 with #Windows11 on my work laptop. Moving windows between screens reproducibly crashes (and thereby resets) the Windows Explorer.
I have now downloaded Explorer to be able to actually work.

Hehe #linux #windows11

Nerd therapy. Opening old storage boxes of tech from the early 80s.

I have a relatively new #ASUS ProArt13 laptop where I still have a #Microsoft #Windows installation so I can keep upgrading its firmware (I planned removing it once I have a stable #Linux distro with kernel >= 6.14).
I'm surprised by how unstable it is. Just leaving it doing nothing for more than 10 minutes is enough to trigger a #BlueScreenOfDeath (I can reproduce the issue). If I keep doing stuff, it does not crash.
At this point I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's fault or ASUS'... but I suspect the blame falls on Windows side (nothing like that happens on my Linux installation).
