@davepl1968 They could start with their social media reply sections... lol.

Microsoft is apparently finally admitting that what many users have wanted all along is a faster, quieter, more dependable operating system. Not more Copilot. In a new Windows Insider post, Microsoft’s Pavan Davuluri laid out a broad quality push for Windows 11 centered on performance, reliability, and what the company calls “craft.” More likely, it's what Steve Jobs called "taste", if you remember THAT interview... And honestly, a lot of it reads like Microsoft finally sat down, opened Feedback Hub, and decided to take the complaints seriously. The headline changes are exactly the kind of practical fixes power users have been asking for: taskbar repositioning to the top or sides of the screen, fewer forced update interruptions, more control over when updates install, faster File Explorer, lower baseline memory usage, better search responsiveness, fewer notifications, and more reliable drivers and wake behavior. Microsoft also says it is reducing “unnecessary Copilot entry points,” starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad. The Windows Update story is interesting.... Microsoft says it wants updates to be less disruptive, with a move toward a single monthly reboot, the ability to restart or shut down without being forced to install u-pdates, and the option to pause updates for as long as needed. That is a major philosophical shift from the old “we know what’s best, enjoy your reboot” era, even if the real test will be how consistently Microsoft follows through in shipping builds. Performance also seems to be getting real attention instead of marketing lip service. Microsoft says Windows 11 will reduce its own resource usage, improve memory efficiency, make File Explorer quicker and more dependable, and lower latency by moving more core experiences to WinUI 3. The company specifically calls out Start menu responsiveness, search consistency, faster file operations, and a smoother overall feel under load. That is the sort of engineering work users notice every single day, even if it doesn’t make for a shiny keynote demo. My personal benchmark is to be able to type 'Download" into the Start menu and have it find my Downloads folder. Not a Bing search for a Copilot download. The Copilot pullback is equally interesting because it suggests Microsoft has realized there is a difference between useful AI and AI sprayed across every available surface. The company is not abandoning Copilot, but it is dialing back what it describes as unnecessary integration points. That sounds a lot less like “AI everywhere” and a lot more like “maybe Notepad didn’t need to become a sentient billboard.” The most encouraging part of all this is the tone. Microsoft is not pitching this as a revolution. It is pitching it as a cleanup, stabilization, and giving users more control. And that may be exactly what Windows 11 needs. After years of feeling like the operating system was being used to push services, experiments, and mandatory behavior, this looks like a return to a simpler idea: Windows should serve the user, not manage them. I, for one, still advocate for Windows Pro having NO advertisements, bloatware, or needless telemetry. Make people pay, then quit asking for more. But I've been barking up THAT tree for years. Now the obvious catch: these are commitments and previews, not a completed turnaround. Microsoft has promised a lot here, but Windows users have long memories. This is probably still the best Windows news in a while, because it focuses on the fundamentals: Faster. More reliable. Less noisy. More customizable. Less pushy.

@lilduval @grok give them all suits and fancy canes

I just realized i was the only one in my hood in Jacksonville that grew up with a 2 car garage 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 8th street

@sportdrink @Seanfrank Sound dampening would be pretty neat tbh

@Seanfrank what about the sound?

"apparel is too hard, everything has been tried to death"

Updates: -still using arch -VOIP phones are my enemy now -new gf is great, we've met each other's families. 10/10 would recommend -buying an old WRX wagon soon Life is good. Never been happier.

@sportdrink When is Sport Drink's IPO?

I just heard a really bad idea You can pretend to be a census employee and give $20 to homeless people for personal info (name dob ss #) and open up credit cards in their name and buy all the Sport Drink you want

@sportdrink Sportpilled

You need to be forcing your wife to drink Sport Drink

@ThatGuy37611826 @paeddy06 @PinguZaide @niccruzpatane This is about buttons vs screens, not door latches or fatalities. Here. Lol. The Tesla Model Y is #6. iseecars.com/most-dangerous…

In 2027, China will be effectively banning vehicles from having: • Fully flush (pop-out) or power-dependent exterior door handles. • Yoke-style Steering Wheels Additionally, China says essential features like: • Turn signals • Hazard lights • Gear selection/shifting • Windshield wipers/defrosters/defoggers • Power windows • Horn • ADAS (advanced driver assistance) activation Must have a physical way of activating, to prevent over-reliance on touchscreens/voice commands for critical functions.

@grlicking @chatgpt21 Some of them are actively being used for cancer research. And meteorological research. And material science. And climate change. An endless list of things. Do you guys really think AI and datacenters are just for consumer use and generative AI? Lol

@GeniusChad @chatgpt21 So are you denying that these new data centers have no intention of being used for cancer research?

@Crabboard @cafreiman "Thats not real communism" lol

@cafreiman How do they not see that automation is the key to their communist values being more viable?

@grlicking @chatgpt21 No, you took a screenshot of a headline and posted it thinking you making a point or something. You look like an idiot with the context of the article. lmao.

@GeniusChad @chatgpt21 No I'm just laughing that your kind think the data centers that they're proposing will be used for cancer research. They're being used for AI generative garbage, chatbots, and data collection for better ads.

@grlicking @chatgpt21 Here's the article, btw. You probably didn't read it. TLDR: They used commercially available models (ChatGPT and Meta Llama) that weren't approved for medical purposes for medical purposes and got poor results. And it was done on models over a YEAR ago. nytimes.com/2026/02/09/wel…

"None of the models evaluated in the experiment were “ready for deployment in direct patient care,” the researchers concluded in the paper, which is the first randomized study of its kind." Imagine using a technology for a purpose it was never approved for and then being upset that it does the task poorly. Do you get mad at your Honda because it doesn't drive like a Ferrari?

@snkewrld @BenDziobek I don't care about the GDP.

@GeniusChad @BenDziobek “BUT THINK OF THE 20 JOBS AND THE GDP!” 😩

A data center in New Brunswick was canceled tonight when hundreds of residents showed up. When fight big tech and private equity we win.

@andersonbcdefg Comical.

curious... you claim to care about "model welfare" and yet you haven't granted your "open claw" the ability to kill itself using the Philips Hue™ Smart Plug... care to elaborate?
