I don't recall ever encountering ASUS fans like there are Apple fans. I believe ASUS products keep selling because they keep hitting a sweet spot in the market. I always buy products based on price and features, and ASUS is always a top contender. You have to be an anti fan to completely avoid...

So what are you aiming to say? That it's a fake option in rufus? The TPM requirement is certainly not fake so IDK why would you bring that up as a way to bagatellize rufus.

Except Starfield sales weren't just cannibalized by games pass, but generally unfavorable reviews. They also might publicly say that while not taking it into account for internal decision making. These companies have too much of a yes man culture.

So why does rufus have a hack to disable it if it's not happening?

This is another attack that requires the attacker to have access to the victim's local network. Why do the always have to do this? Make you shit your pants and then you have to read 3/4th through the article to realize it is not as bad as they made it sound.

Your need to deny it when the comment wasn't even aimed at anyone in particular says otherwise :p

So where are those guys now who insist we shouldn't complain about anything, just shut up and consume? I'm hoping you join the "raging nerds" and start speaking up about problems from now on.

Copilot for those too lazy to click on search results. Also I'm pretty sure 5.25% is above 5%. You can never trust generative AI. MS has an entire department dedicated to using AI responsibly yet they have no problem rolling it out to tasks like this where it can easily make up fake news.

I don't believe anyone is actually bothered by his jacket, it's just fun to make fun of. Those who comment on his jacket however do live rent free in the heads of people who are offended by said jacket comments.

It affects W11 too. They just don't want to take responsibiilty for their F up. It's far easier to tell users you are on your own, risk is yours, than releasing a fix that might cause data loss. I bet you 50 cents they made the tool to fix it long ago, just decided not to publish it.

Because it is not the same thing. You can log in to an MS account on windows to access the ms store if you fancy it. What MS is pushing for is to log in to windows (as in your computer) using an online MS account. Huge difference, and yes it will be a dealbreaker if it ever becomes unavoidable...

It doesn't apply to most people, as most people don't want to deny that 10 sucks compared to 7. Why would anyone want to deny that retroactively? We just stopped mentioning it because it is not relevant to the W11 debate. The aesthetics are part of the cons, and it is still missing features...

Nice made up story, too bad it is not true. Just because I prefer 10 over 11 doesn't mean I can't still prefer 7 over 10. As I've said 2 steps back, one step forward: The Microsoft way. Even 7 had changes in it that were inferior to how things were in XP. I did not forget that, and nobody...

The only case where W11 has an actual benefit is when running CPUs that require the new scheduler to work effectively. The graphics pipeline offers no measurable difference in performance. And the HDR benefit is basically the auto hdr mode which adds HDR to non-HDR games, which is ill advised at...

Zero day exploits exist in all OS-es, that's why they are called zero days. You think between the monthly update Tuesdays there are no zero day exploits for W11? It is a myth that EOLed softwrae means you are definitely getting hacked. But of course it is convenient for MS and co, to let...
