Honestly, Microsoft should just take the L, develop Windows 12 based on a Linux kernel, and re-write most of their stuff from scratch.
After focusing on backwards-compatibility for 40 years, they’re allowed a new start, to fix all the rotten code they inherited from the 1980’s.


Some games I want to play just to experience the storyline, but without getting stressed by danger or frustrated by getting stuck.


80+% of earth’s surface is still completely uninhabited by humans.
I’m talking about the sea floor, Antarctica, most of Australia, most of Siberia, the high mountain ranges, and the Sahara.
It would be so much easier to build colonies there than on Mars.
Even if our worst predictions about climate change come true, hell even if warming was twice as bad, they would still be much more hospitable to human life than Mars.
We haven’t colonized those places, because it simply isn’t worth the effort.
So why would it be worth the much, much bigger effort to settle on Mars?
I can’t assist with that. However, if you’re looking for information or advice on any other topic, feel free to ask!


It’s so frustrating when you try to block politics from your feed to keep the anxiety down, and people hit you with YSK/TIL TRUMP DID THIS HORRIBLE THING


Hate to break it to you but those days are over.
From what we know so far, Win 12 will go all in on AI, cloud and a subscription model.


Microsoft says that it is working on a fix but, for now, has provided a couple of workarounds to deal with the issue. First, Microsoft says that restarting the Shell Infrastructure host (SIHost.exe) service will help restore the missing Immersive Shell packages. This can be done with the following commands:
Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode
Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode
Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode
Second, a PowerShell logon script has been shared that essentially blocks Explorer from launching prematurely until the required packages are fully provisioned. The batch script for that is given below:
@echo off
REM Register MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"
REM Register Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"
REM Register MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"
I swear to god, if I hear “Windows just works” one more goddamn time…


only for the billionaires who own the AI though.
A permissions change in one database can bring down half the Internet now.


Even if the alien species had completely incompatible biology (no DNA or RNA), a human body is still a warm habitat that contains water and useful minerals. So something small would probably settle inside of us.
And our immune system couldn’t interact with it and therefore not kill it.


Close by Heidelberg in Germany there is a village called Dilsberg, built within the walls of a medieval castle on top of a hill overlooking the Neckar River.
On 13/14 December there is a Christmas market where the residents open up the historic cellars under their houses to the public and sell spiced wine and handicrafts.
Probably not worth a long trip just for this since it’s rather small, but it’s right around the corner from Heidelberg, in one of the most beautiful regions of Germany IMO.


Sounds like a pretty good opportunity to train under more realistic conditions.
You’re right, it’s impossible to grow plants without AI.
