Guys, I found one other Microsoft claim that’s even more hilarious:
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/…/copilotplus-claims?ta…
They say that:
-
Windows 11 PCs are faster than the MacBook air M4 (with the top of the line AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, but only with cinebench. Because a fanless laptop like the MacBook air is perfect for run cinebench the whole day, I’m sure it won’t throttle)
-
They’re also faster than the MacBook air M3 (of course, if they were faster than M4…) of course still only with cinebench
-
And they’re faster than the MacBook air M2. Of course only with cinebench. I’m sure it’s only a coincidence that they are choosing a heavy benchmark for a fanless laptop instead of a MBP with better airflow. What’s next, comparing the result of multicore cinebench on a MacBook air wrapped in cellophane, inside a car parked in the Texan summer?
-
And that when running cinebench multicore, it’s FIVE TIMES FASTER than what you gonna get with a windows 10 PC!!! This claim was so hilarious that I had to find that test from that “reputable” third party and in the PDF they’re comparing a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 with a ThinkPad E590 Intel Core i5-8265U. Of course the Ryzen is faster in multicore benchmark, it has 20 threads vs only 8… I don’t understand why they settled on a simple Ryzen AI 9 365. Why not comparing the 8th gen i5 U series with a threadripper pro 9995x in multicore cinebench? In this way they could claim “it’s HUNDRED TIMES FASTER!!!11!”
-
And the newest copilot+ windows 11 PCs are FOUR TIMES faster in 3D gaming (the catch: only in 3d mark and only if comparing with laptops with integrated graphics)

The difference in performance from a Intel 11th gen and Intel 12th gen, with the same amount of memory and the CPU in the same class, is not measurable in daily life. The average for w10 devices is skewed to the bottom, and it’s also a comparison that doesn’t make sense. Of course a computer from ten years ago is slower. I would be surprised if it wouldn’t be like that.
They wanted to do a comparison like Apple “M1 is 4x faster than our previous Intel laptop” but at least apple says which exact benchmark uses and it’s directly compared to the previous model on sale, not a random one from a decade ago (although Apple always chooses some useless benchmark like calculating integers or other stuff that has absolutely no impact in real life but has a higher result).
Here Microsoft says “Web browsing is up to 3.2x faster” but we all know that RAM heavily influences web browsing. How much memory the chosen sample has? They don’t say it and I suspect they’re comparing 4/8gb devices vs 16/32gb devices
Same for “Ms office is up to 2x times faster” but we all know that the difference is invisible in real use. Probably the w10 sample have sata HDDs (especially that i3-6100) while the w11 sample they all have nvme pcie gen 4 x4 drives so of course they load Microsoft word much faster.

So they forced me to migrate my pocket account to my Mozilla account, breaking login in my Kobo reader and then 6 months later they kill it? Couldn’t just directly kill it?

- Comment on Low flow toilets 2 weeks ago:
I watched a hai video about the topic and there are some low flow toiles capable of flushing 2 pounds of poo in one flush, maybe who sold your unit didn’t know (or pretended to don’t know) that there’s a poo flushing power for each model, sold you a bad one
- Comment on Microsoft Raises the Price of All Xbox Series Consoles, Xbox Games Confirmed to Hit $80 This Holiday - IGN 3 weeks ago:
zero competitors are forced to raise prices 10% in europe, though
it’s a console launched 5 years ago with no new revision, it was unattractive for €500 in 2020 and it’s even more unattractive for €600 in 2025, if they want to move more units they should lower the prices, not increase them. With this price people can get a real PC with better performance, where you don’t need to pay a subscription to play online. And there are no cool “must have” exclusives like the ps5 or the switch, so the premium is not justified.

Trump puts tariffs on Americans and then companies use this as an excuse to raise prices worldwide
Good luck selling a “Xbox one series x pro plus elite series s” for €600

I can’t believe that Microsoft had almost a monopoly between msn messenger and Skype. Then they slept and let WhatsApp/Facebook take everything (iMessage is not a thing in my country)

Now I understood why a few weeks ago it was said that xitter was back to the old ultra overvalued valuation even with less revenue and less users. Because he found some other idiots to pay for it hoping to hit big when and if does an IPO
- Comment on Musk Loses Bid to Thwart Investor Suit Over Twitter Purchase 1 month ago:
What? It wasn’t already the same company? Are you telling me that managed to create a useless company with no revenue from his asshole, persuaded idiots to pour billions in this new startup, then used that money to pay the billions in debt that other idiots lent to buy another useless company with no revenue?

As a customer I hate those “smart” address form as they don’t accept my real house number but I need to put the generic one and hope the delivery guy is smart enough to read notes
- Comment on Forgot a number in my address... 2 months ago:
I work in a e-commerce and the amount of people that forgets the street number is insane.
We send email to ask clarification: no response (probably filtered by the artificial stupidity classification in Gmail, everyone only reads the main category)
We call them to ask clarification: nobody picks up because they assume it’s telemarketing
I blame the Google chrome auto fill, because it fills the whole form automatically instead of line by line like on Firefox, so people assume that it’s filled correctly while instead the browser decided to omit the street number

Same for Windows hello. “Sorry something went wrong”
What went wrong, so I can fix it??? It needs a reboot? Restart the camera on device manager?? My face is not clear??? I need to update drivers?? Just logout???
Client side software must always give clear indications about what’s the error. Write in tiny 6 points grey text on a white background but give hints about the solution, don’t play a game , thanks
- Comment on Oops, something went wrong! 2 months ago:
Exactly, it’s especially infuriating on newpipe. WHAT went wrong? It’s an error 500 from YouTube (rare, unfixable, try again) or Google changed something and need to wait for a client fix? Or simply Google blacklisted the IP address or put some captcha that prevents playing the video??

100% faking that. Yesterday the esims got remotely disabled, the server shut off so it’s impossibile to push any OTA update.
If they really wanted, the fact that a loyal customer that paid almost one year of subscription had access to a certificate is completely irrelevant to publishing said OTA update

You joke but their idea is to migrate all the remaining skype users to Microsoft Teams (consumer edition, incompatible and not interoperable with Teams business edition, they have the exact same icon but with the colors reversed)
It’s the same stuff, but worse™️

- Comment on Google binning SMS MFA and replacing it with QR codes • The Register 2 months ago:
The real reason is that they want to save money on the text messages (outside of the US they need to pay $0.05 each time), not because they actually care about user security.
Like when xitter ran out of money and didn’t pay their sms bills and people were locked out of their accounts
