I get that, but you've got some elements in there like the 4TB m.2 drive that are wicked expensive, and I'm having a hard time imagining why you need that large of a high-speed drive. In the grand scheme, Microsoft usually figures out a way to hobble even the most insane hardware (this has been...

Au contraire! This preview includes a new transfer tool (think PCMover). It is intended mostly for Windows 10 users but it will be available in Windows 11. Quality improvements (patches) are mostly the domain of the "Patch Tuesday" (second Tuesday) patches.

Two days of patches in a row?

The new hot property is Rustdesk.

The Remote Desktop Connection client doesn't appear to be going anywhere. The Remote Desktop app (something you download from the Microsoft Store) is what's going away. The remote Desktop app was used for both virtual PC logins (Windows 365, Azure Desktop and Microsoft Dev Box) that are moving...

72 vulnerabilities. These include 5 exploited zero-days and two published zero-days. Note that this doesn't include Edge or other tools patched earlier. Each Windows release seems to bring even more stuff to worry about. Microsoft needs to move away from C++ sooner than later and/or hire...

Windows 11 is all about burying things another level or two down.

How many times has Microsoft promised patches that don't require a reboot? I think it may have started with Vista. I suspect that the reason reboots are required as that's the only way to refresh stuff like the kernel and the .NET engine which, I'm guessing, are pretty difficult to shut down...

This seems odd to be showing up on the fourth Friday rather than the fourth Tuesday. Maybe Microsoft is easing into the new patching schedule where the patches are only delivered quarterly.

Outside of investigating how much anyone could possibly spend on a computer, what was your goal?

Apple Fools!

Until 64K isn't enough memory.

That's a four-step process (unless you do it the Windows way). Right click on a PDF, select properties, click on "opens with" change button and click on the reader. Going in through settings takes more steps and involves a whole lot of scrolling to get to the .pdf file type. Please tell me...

In Windows 10, <shift><Print Scrn> pastes a picture of the desktop to the clipboard. In Windows 11 it opens the Snipping Tool. Aren't you glad you asked?

Perhaps that Echo hears the bell?

As I read it, you can't use a Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5 device with a Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt computer and it looks like that has always been the case. I see that as being the opposite of what you're concerned about. Perhaps I don't understand what Apple means by "host".

It appears that the only issue is needing an adapter (Wait? Can it be? An Apple computer requiring a goofball adapter cable?!?!) to get from the MDP (mini DisplayPort) connection to the USB C form factor of TB3 and later...

For those with Core Ultra machines, be on the lookout for updates that fix some issues with the performance of minimized applications.

While this may have been useful back in the days of dial-up, I'm not convinced that it has a lot of above-board application these days.

7zip has always been kinda scary. As broadly circulated as the source code is, most who use it install it once and forget about it until it doesn't unzip something.

You're grossly underselling the importance of this month's attempts at fixing Windows. There are 55 issues flailed at. Many are related to Windows features that most don't use. Some of these probably should have been removed from Windows long ago (like Internet Connection Sharing since...

It's not the only way. It probably starts with transportation (fuel, insurance) and works its way up through manufacturing (raw goods, personnel, insurance) and then to retail (finished goods, distribution, personnel and insurance). Notice the word "insurance" popping up everywhere? It is...

My point is that hiring US employees is expensive because their cost of living is expensive. We need to figure out how to drive the cost of living down.

The big question is whether spending money on personnel is a better value than spending that same money on scripts and training. I think most have settled on going the knowledge-base route. One of my favorite examples is Xfinity where they have representatives that speak unaffected English but...
