Date: July 11th, 2025 8:02 AM Author: Cerebral ruby hell I’ve been thinking the same thing. But the fact is that windows has to run on ANY hardware which is a feat of Engineering. Apple can marry hardware and software exquisitely like PS3/MGS4. Since Windows sucks atm you should try to Engineer your PC around it.

Date: July 12th, 2025 10:51 AM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Not really. It only blocks ads that request data from a separate server than the one loading the page. If the ads originate at YouTube.com it can't falsely claim that server is down. But if dailymail runs ads that call for data to be loaded from another server, the pi-hole impersonates that server and says "404 not found' (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5748953&forum_id=2...id#49095559) |

and wtf did the retards put the wifi thing behind another thing now, i have to click twice now to join a new network these dumb pajeets jfc |

Date: July 11th, 2025 8:31 PM Author: sepia ratface son of senegal file explorer is fine, in fact it's generally the stuff that stays the same that is fine, the other thing that they are retarded about is that they don't realize that people stay with them because they WANT things to stay the same. then they go fuck up clean win 7 with retarded win 8 and crisp win 10 with cartoonish win 11.
but all would be forgiven if they could do what apple was able to do with all their products a fucking decade ago which was to make it fucking RUN SMOOTHLY all the time assuming your ram isn't retardedly low. |

Date: July 11th, 2025 8:34 PM Author: Hateful Brindle Mother Win 11 runs fine, what the fuck are people even talking about. I can only assume people are boomers or dumbs running Norton Antivirus like it’s 1999 or something. Pretty much any modern OS is idiot-proof and easy to navigate without error.

Date: July 11th, 2025 8:37 PM Author: sepia ratface son of senegal it runs slow when i start running a lot of shit, apple never forces me to close stuff it just puts them to sleep. windows makes me do chores around my desktop, annoying as fuck.
also win 11 is just uglier, they tried to simplify things like the right-click drop down menus that they should have kept the same. |

Date: July 11th, 2025 8:32 PM Author: Khaki Hilarious Senate Gaping It's file copy that busted, not explorer. Also there's no built-in way to see how big a folder is.
But all of this can be fixed in 10 seconds with a million freeware file explorers. Windows is just like linux in that you need to spend some time customizing it to make everything work the way you want it. It's really stupid to bitch about it when everyone knows it's the only OS with good driver support. It's also more secure that Linux these days. |

and what other freeware shit is there for explorer, i use something called everything. but wtf cant windows just make search in explorer easy, its gay and retarded |
