I’m not sure if any of those comments are completely true. Primarily, it’s a business product for enterprises thats backwards compatible with a lot of legacy software.
I’m running it on a relatively old Ryzen 3600 on a B450 motherboard and have never had issues with speed. Games and productivity apps run smoothly.
Its funny that Apple was getting slaughtered on Reddit not long ago for still releasing laptops with 8GB RAM before the apocalypse till they released a laptop running on a mobile phone processor at a lower price point.
Security has been significantly improved with Windows 11 with the use of TPM (see link). Apple has their own version of TPM and stops supporting older chips all the time.
The CoPilot “nightmare” is an overwhelming meme started by edge lords on reddit. You dont have to use it. I sometimes use it, and keep Claude open in another window in free mode.
you cannot reliably disable things in windows because Microsoft “accidentally” reactivates them all the time. Backward compatibility is impressive in terms of binary translation in prism, but really old legacy software no no no. the multiple abstraction layers fuck performance even harder and their TPM solution phones home to Microsoft every goddamn time it is used. The entire point of windows 11 was to make it cheaper for Microsoft and fire all the experienced people keeping the ship afloat. It did not work because they were letting buisness majors make engineering decisions.
Please understand, you may have an opinion, but the rest of us actually know what we are talking about.
Hahahahahhahaha you wish. But this is Lemmy, so uga dugga, someone says something bad about windows even tho we know exactly that it has nothing to do with those prices, must upvote! And let’s downvote everyone who dares to not agree! Exactly the same brainless, useless… even harmful behavior as MAGAs, gotta own dem libs at any cost.
Yeah its not as bad as reddit (yet). Problem is any authoritarian state can easily use an LLM to create profiles, comment on unrelated posts, then spew the most vitriolic propaganda and downvote any voices of reason.
I wish there was a way to weight others votes. Like how I can add notes to users, but the weight scales their votes for me. New user has 0 weight. Someone I set to 10 has a weight of… well 10. You get the point.
Yes, but with all the bots and what not… How to filter out all the noise? Given the quantity that can easily be achieved with LLMs, this should really be automatic. One can dream of a system that works without dealing with potential downsides, eh?
The bots can replicate human posts stunningly well. So they would all have weights of 10 and they would downvote the bejesus out of real humans (as the did above)
Come on, it is a particularly awful MS product. It’s a resouce hog, molasses slow and a privacy nightmare.

Wow thanks dude who “knows what he is talking about” (or not) lol
Downvoters put forwqrd your well though out and researched arguments in reply!

See your point but it becomes a bit 1984 if you follow my drift

Yes, supply chain attacks are nothing new.
