til they had two IDEs

Onedrive, that useless app that creates a mess in the desktop if you have a laptop and a desktop like most users

Most users do not own two computers.

No, but the biggest users who pay the most do.

A huge percentage do, whether it's most or not would be a stupid metric by which to design a cloud storage product in such a way that causes issues when one does sign in on multiple devices.

well, onedrive is the ms solution to dropbox which is main purpose is syncing between computers

This is what's so amazing to me, a primary feature of cloud storage is multi-device usage. But by default this ridiculous product causes a mess if you use it on 2 or more computers, and many apps save app data to my documents so you have useless (at best) or conflicting at worst bloat being copied between computers. I want to use it but Microsoft makes it a huge pain if I do.

Anyone remember Cortana? It seems like MS doesnt learn

Wait, Cortana doesn't exist anymore?

It doesn't (but it seems pretty much every Windows install has it installed, and if you try to open it, it just tells you that there's no Cortana anymore.)

BTW. They did the same with Maps and the PDF reader: the two apps I used the most on my Windows tablet. An "upgrade" replaced the app with a nonce. That just made me so incredibly angry.

that PC is overkill for that

is it me or critical software bugs are more and more common?

psa: remove the battery just in case

also if you watch 1 single video about a topic, the next day your feed will be full of that

I usually don't mind that. Sometimes I'm looking in to a new product or hobby and really do want to see a whole bunch of that content. They also provide you a feed which purely contains channels you subscribe to, though I find it much lower quality than the normal feed.

Turning search history off on youtube about a year ago has been one of my best personal "digital life upgrades" in a while.

I did that and now it shows only polarizing videos on the right from both ends.

Oh, mine shows no recommendations at all. Just a blank home screen.

So I basically either watch my curated subscriptions or something I specifically searched for.


Yeah, home screen is empty. But if you open some video, recommendations on right are wild.

We know. Believe me, we know. Because you guys will tell us, every single time YouTube is mentioned.

It is, apparently, very difficult for people to conceive of a video service that does what you want it to, and not what you don't want it to.

Excellent, now the collective "we" all know about it, and it never needs to be mentioned again[0].

Man, today's xkcd hits hard...

+13,323 lines of AI code, fucking nightmare

the whole mcp thing is a mess tbh

it's usually because of fail fast and fail hard, in theory critical bugs will be caught in dev/test
