It was widely publicized to get this wrong in a previous version, so they did what must have been a manual fix on top when they released the next one because it would smarmily say something along the lines of "haha, you almost got me" but was still easy to demonstrate it was some bodge job by just changing the words slightly so it wouldn't trip the hard coded handling for this "riddle".
I guess they figured no one was still paying attention and forgot to carry over the bodge job, lol.
Three of those are the same thing (AI features) and all are easily handled through group policy.
You are using a version the has group policy right? Spoofing a Pro license with MAS Grave takes roughly 2 minutes from opening the website to finished, on a slow connection.
It's even easier if you don't set up a Microsoft Account during install of the OS. You did take the 30 seconds to look up the current bypass when you started, right?
It's even easier than that if you just don't use Microsoft Office. Open source office suites work fine on Windows.
Of course, Linux is the easiest way.
If you don't take 30 seconds to look up the bypass on install. If you're capable of switching to Linux it's hardly forced in any way that matters.
Yep. Imagine that, using the specialist version of the OS strips out a lot of the bullshit.
I'll never argue that the suck inherent to Windows is OK, but anyone who thinks it's somehow completely unavoidable just isn't trying. It's always kind of shocking to see Linux users, who are at least on paper tech savvy, have complaints that include shit that can be disabled by toggling a single switch in a top level settings menu. Meanwhile they'll act like some of the arcane hoops needed to fix shit like sleep mode, hdr, or audio on some combinations of hardware and distro is just par for the course.
Personally, I find the better approach to convert folks isn't to create an insane caricature of the issues with Windows, but to go "here's the list of all the stuff you need to do to fix Windows, or you can sidestep it entirely with Linux but risk occasional strange hardware compatibility problems"
These are tools, not religion.
Because people miss that this happened over 100 years ago, right?
These kinds of people aren't doing much of anything lately, unless they're undead. This happened back in 1897.
Memories of college days gone by.
Just get your rest folks. Work isn't going to give you a medal for "most late nights" or "closest flirtation with burnout". If your boss hasn't allocated enough resources to reach the goal timeline, you tell them as soon as you realize and then it's their problem.
I see less random screeching here and more shock. Vim is a long lived, well trusted piece of software, and there's the shock of "they're using AI assistance" but more so "What the fuck is that incomprehensible mess and why was it not proofread."
That's the most damning part for me. I'd prefer zero AI usage, but I can tolerate clearly labeled usage reviewed by people who know what the fuck they're doing.
That wack ass "thank you" block in the OP demonstrates that nobody is proofreading, and that's absolutely braindead. AI isn't a solution for lack of care.
More directly, if you're so convinced that we're all in the wrong, why are you participating here? Just block the comm.
Nope, he's lying again. This sort of hype disguised as thin-ass critique has been one of his main tactics for years. Not worth giving him even the benefit of the doubt on the headline
Dankpods used 12 computers with different hardware to test the performance of 5 games in 1080p and 4K, comparing the average fps results of the games' built in benchmarks to determine which OS ran the game better across the same hardware: Windows or Bazzite.
Some notes on methodolgy under this spoiler
Each game uses the same in game graphics settings in Windows and in Linux. The Linux distro used was Bazzite, using the version specific for the graphics card hardware fpr each individual machine. To be clear, this means that he installed the Bazzite version for (legacy) nVidia as appropriate.
Each bazzite install was fresh, no copying installs or swapping around a drive with it pre-installed. After install, it was updated using system update and rebooted, repeated until no updates remained.
Screenshots of some of Dankpods's comments to this effect:
There are many comments under the youtube video pointing out that in many of the Linux runs, it was not actually using the correct driver, comments about the experience using other distros, and comments about various potential fixes and workarounds.
This misses the point. Dankpods intentionally tested this way, and used Bazzite, to try and show what this would be like for the average gamer schmuck without a ton of technical skill interested in switching to Linux. Out of box experience matters in this situation, even though it's not quite fair to compare that between free opens source distros and an OS created by a megacorp. To the average end user, it won't matter. They just want it to work.
Prepare to be upset. With this particular testing methodology, Linux doesn't really win overall.
I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on this.

Check the new pinned post in .ml's meme community. Here's the post itself:
There's so much goofiness to unpack here.
And a bonus, this small comment thread. We're totally not a marxist instance guys but we totally are a marxist instance guys and it's such a good thing:
I can't mentally square how someone could claim their instance is general use, run a general meme community, and also openly state the community purpose is to further specific ideology. Wow.
Nothing against surfacing lesser heard voices, but that's not the place for a generic meme comm (go make a leftymemes equivalent or something), and we all know that isn't what's really going on here.
Someone gifted this to my wife and I after our successful IVF. Still haven't put our photos in it, and everytime I see it I giggle.
Miracle Love Baby sounds like some magical girl anime shit.
Part of the setting that 2077 left out is a subculture of extreme body modder furries. So actual "flesh" cybernectic ears, muzzles, animal jointed limbs, etc.
You can get grenade launchers embedded in arms that look like normal human flesh until the panels separate due to the magic of synthflesh/skin. With that tech some of the animal features would be easier to engineer than separating and seamlessly meshing panels.
Chips and chipware are another thing left out of 2077 (besides the relic chip Johnny/Keanu is on) but are present in the Edgerunner anime. Generally small chips (equivalent to modern day micro-sd) that slot into your neck. Can be basic data storage and transfer, but often give quick access to skills you don't actually have, like jiu jitsu. Or in this case, mimicry of the idle actions of a specific animal breed.
