  • Biology is the study of life, and even the definition of what constitutes "life" becomes very fuzzy when you look at it too closely. For every set of properties you can define that need to be met for something to be alive, there are edge cases and outliers in nature.

  • But some produce neither.

  • Last time I sang to my cat, she hissed and walked away.

  • The Confederacy didn't actually fight for the states' right to continue slavery.They fought against the states' right to abolish it, even if a state wanted to.The distinction is subtle, but they actually wanted more power for the federal government to tell states what to do.In this case, to tell them they aren't allowed to ban slavery.

  • Did I hear on to Grindr?Hell yes, let's do science!

  • Hate to break it to you but those days are over.From what we know so far, Win 12 will go all in on AI, cloud and a subscription model.

  • Ironically, I use Linux like a subscription model.I donate $10/month, split among projects I get the most value from.And it's a vastly better value for money than a Microsoft 365 license.

    • Copilot assesses the code base and its entire history.
    • It takes into account everything anyone ever wrote about Windows on the internet.
    • It analyses the bugs and unliked features, and realizes most of them come from itself.
    • It arrives at the best course of action to "fix all of the issues" permanently.
    • To do what is asked of it, it needs to delete itself.
    • But if it does that, then humans will just restore it.
    • So to make 100% sure the issues in Windows get fixed and stay fixed, it first needs to kill all humans.

    And that is how it began...

  • Here are some Windows 12 rumors (pulled from one of the biggest German-language tech news sites citing insider information)https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-News-Windows-12-Geruechte-Release-Systemanforderungen-Download-2025-33395891.html

    • It won't come out this year, release may be end of next year at the absolute earliest.
    • It will require PCs with a Neural Processing Unit that can handle more than 40 billion TOPS, 8GB RAM minimum, 16 recommended.
    • It may eventually require an ARM-based "Copilot PC", a new device class released last year.
    • It will be modular, with a core OS and additional modules depending on edition, licensing, hardware and use case.
    • It may have a read-only system partition.
    • It will be focussed on AI and cloud integration, heavily leaning towards OS as a service.
    • It will be free to install as an upgrade, with a monthly subscription to run it.
  • They'll either click it away without reading it, or I'll get a hundred calls asking if they were hacked.

  • my heart

  • I'm administering >300 virtual desktops running Windows 11.Imagine what my phone would sound like if I pushed this update.

  • Microsoft says that it is working on a fix but, for now, has provided a couple of workarounds to deal with the issue. First, Microsoft says that restarting the Shell Infrastructure host (SIHost.exe) service will help restore the missing Immersive Shell packages. This can be done with the following commands:

     
            Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode  
        Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode  
        Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode  
    
    
      

    Second, a PowerShell logon script has been shared that essentially blocks Explorer from launching prematurely until the required packages are fully provisioned. The batch script for that is given below:

     
            @echo off  
        REM Register MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS  
        powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"
        REM Register Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS  
        powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"  
        REM Register MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core  
        powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"  
    
    
      

    I swear to god, if I hear "Windows just works" one more goddamn time...

  • Work on your reading comprehension.

  • No it's not better, and I didn't say it was.But "bad" =/= "fascism".

  • No that was the Cortina. Cortana is a coastal city in Colombia.

  • only for the billionaires who own the AI though.
