Hi I'm Clock Copilot

Replacing some code/bug that‘s been present since xp probably would be my second guess.
I’m still waiting(but not really) for them to fix the rdp app(msstore) but instead they killed it and now we have the „windows app“. What the fuck is even that backwards nondescript name.

I recommend Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which is supported until 2032 and has never required me to update my fucking clock or calculator, never crashed my SSD, and never randomly encrypted my hard drive and lost the recovery keys! And, there’s no OneDrive, Copilot, Recall, Cortana, Clippy, or whatever else Microsoft’s cocaine addled executives have come up with this week to FUCK us.
Since thats the standard for operating systems we’re working with now, I’d say this one is pretty good!

Isn’t the IoT version missing some features?
The real fix is to switch to Linux.
Also, what’s wrong with Clippy?
wuffah@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
IoT is missing all the features I hate, but they can usually be installed manually if desired.
I’m holding out till 2032 for Linux by which time I will be dead or ready to switch.
I was one of those cool 90’s kids who hated Clippy, and I am still just as immature.

Yes, purchase legitimately from Microsoft with a genuine Microsoft license key from Microsoft because software piracy is wrong and totally not justified in the face of abusive software monopolies.

My wife came to me saying her laptop wasn’t working. She was on it last night. It was forcing a Windows account login. Shift-10 disabled so I couldn’t bypass.
Microsoft can straight fuck itself after this. Trying to brick an 8 year old laptop with a local account. Fuck that noise. My wife is gonna have to learn Linux.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
trying to reinstall Windows on a used computer I got recently sent me over the edge. holy fucking shit that was so complicated. there is just no way to install windows without a Microsoft account now, their documentation is both out of date in some locations, non-existent in others (posts removed), and seemingly up-to-date yet incorrect in other locations. I followed the instructions for installing with a Microsoft account and then unlinking it, and it was fucking hell. I had to do some back door shit (not really, but stuff that the average user doesn’t stand a chance of doing) in order to get my account actually unlinked so that I could sign in with the local credentials
I will not be buying Microsoft again. just going to transition slowly as Windows 10 fades away
terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Download pro, during install before setting initial account: shift+f10 (may have to hold fn key if laptop). When the cmd box opens type oobe\bypassnro hit enter an PC reboots. Disconnect networking. Say I don’t have internet. Now you can do local accounts.

Also Clock is now an Electron app running in its own instance of Chromium, because the devs are afraid of static typing, thus everything needed to be in Javascript.

I’d argue that both Qt as well as GTK is right there for the taking… but those are not “industry-standard”.

Clock needs an update? To decimal time, or what?
Or did they have to patch it because they managed to build a security hole into the original?

I installed win11 in a vm just for fun, then ran the deblpat script. The amount of shit that removed was astonishing.
Still sucks ass but at least its not as bad as a damn emachine from 2005. Win 11 performance is so damn shit.
kadup@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
What absolute scares me is how even if you download Windows Enterprise IoT, which already comes extremely clean out of the box, and then run your favorite debloating script (removing even more crap)… the system still shows a noticeable delay when opening the right click menu, or the start menu, or a new Explorer window. So the most basic possible tasks, that you do constantly, for some reason are slow on a modern multi-core processor and a clean build of the OS.
How the hell did they manage to downgrade… the start menu? the right click menu? How?
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 weeks ago
I read they’re using react, the JavaScript library, for the start menu. If true that strikes me as insane
banazir@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
I recently installed Windows 10 after a few years of Linuxing and holy shit, the updater is just bad. I had more fun running Gentoo updates back in early 2000’s. How is Windows updater so slow? How is it so bad at informing the user what’s going on? How is it that every open source package manager I’ve used handles update infinitely better? Microsoft has a lot engineers, what are they doing with their time? Why is it so bad? Like, just, why?

Modern user-friendly Linux in a nutshell:
“Hey that kernel update finished in the background, unless you were bored enough to stare at this window for the last 3 whole minutes. It would be best to your machine as soon as it repels for you, boss! 😎”
Please note however that modern user-friendly linux does not use emojis in notifications about system updates. That was just for fun.

Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
My main gripe is Windows Defender. I have an app that integrates with Home Assistant and Windows keeps flagging a component as a Trojan virus. Makes sense, as it’s supposed to access admin level functions to read some sensors and enable remote power functions.
But for years I’ve seen MsMpEng.exe, or the antivirus, constantly scan my 4TB HDD, either looking for viruses or doing some stupid NTFS remapping thing. It’s loud and only spun up when idle on Win10, but became more aggressive on Win11 with less time to start scanning and not stopping when I move the mouse.
The latest development with breaking my app just means I’m more vigilant in turning the entire antivirus off when it turns on and starts scanning.

You pretty much create the script and have the task scheduler run it hourly. (You should be able to make it silent, though I’ve never bothered for the hourly, half-second cmd blip)

I want a script that forces the update servers at Redmond to reboot every hour on the hour
SaltySalamander@fedia.io 5 weeks ago
You can make it silent. Create a .vbs file, open it in a text editor, and input the following...
`Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "z:\path\to\your\script.cmd" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing`
Have your scheduled task run the .vbs, rather than your initial script.
