I haven’t used Windows in like 20 years but it’s funny they still haven’t gotten around to fixing percentages. I remember stuff like this from the Windows XP days.

Yeah, you mistake the wrong kind of errors for the right kind. They aren't right because you have no fucking clue what closed source software actually does.

You might get hint if you know how to dig through other people's designed garbage but that's fucking disgusting and not that way they point out to be.

Same. Except I still have to keep that garbage dump OS on my work laptop. I would not be surprised to find rooms filled with bonobo chimps, hammering away at keyboards inside their offices, "working on updates".

Most loading bars I know nowadays just are timed and have no connection to the thing loading.

So you just double the time it takes to get to the next percentage.

0.1 second for the first

2.4 seconds for the 9 to 10%

It will take hours to get from 99 to 100.

But it just completes when it is actually done.

I just let chatgpt rerun the numbers and it says it will take 300 billion years to get from 99 to 100.

Lol
