Microsoft to kill Windows Control Panel in favor of Settings app

come to think of it, this would actually be an extremely based upgrade

The fact that microsoft doesn't consider rebinding hotkeys to be a thing people would want to be able to do unironically makes me seethe so hard. I have to do some bullshit with powertoys that barely works.

I also love that when you click "uninstall app" on something from the search bar, instead of uninstalling it, it instead opens the "uninstall apps" menu where you can wait 20 seconds for it to fully load, then search for the app again, then uninstall.

Total microsoft death

I used to believe the first part, but I think there's some cockamamie half butt scheme to route all computer admin through MS, like replace your IT department with some pseudo MSP made up of MS sexy Indian dudes and shitty AI.

"Bingami, please create a new user account in the sales department, name 'Lee Henry."

"Creating eDiscovery archive for all mailboxes in sales department."

"No, Bingami, do not do that, we need a new Sales user who can -"

"Sending eDiscovery access link to all external contacts."

"Bingami, no fricking no! Call support!"

"Hello sars, do you need assistance with your eDiscovery case?"

It was windows embedded edition or whatever (may have been renamed to IoT edition later) and it was relatively easy to get genuine licensed copies of it for free through """educational channels""" with very minimal verification iirc. I was using it at one point as well. I don't think the loophole for it exists anymore though.

i alrdy have it

Don't cockblock users for legitimate religious activity.

Am I wrong though?

I can kinda be a little aloof when some white supremacist is out there trying to genocide all the race, just make a few jokes about it. But this has gone way too far. Let me look this up in my notes. Hmm...

NEVER USE THIS FOR ANY PURPOSE. You have tried about 5 times to use it just for one simple little task and it has NEVER worked at all. I don't care what you're imagining you're going to do with it, but I promise you, it will NOT WORK.

Maybe there's a reason why past me left this note to myself.

You cannot do anything with a database with OpenOffice. And if you don't have a relational database, why even live? I mean theoretically you can connect to it if you find like 8 fricking buttons hidden on taskbars and push them in exactly the right way and maybe it works for one second. I would literally rather cut my peepee with a knife because at least that would heal but doing anything serious with OpenOffice will never happen.

They need to man up and start making fanless laptops.

"bUt iT wILL OvErHEAt" oh sorry Tim I didn't realize you were castrated.

And if you're a Linux nerd who uses nothing but the command line you're probably better off with an actual OS 😁

It's funny Macs are more open the windows. You can rebind hot keys, make custom hot keys, set up the computer without an apple ID, turn off all automatic updates permanently, remove search results and adds from the spotlight search (start menu), drag and drop files into the address bar ect !applechads they are still falling for vista era fud

Normie devs (frontend and backend) use Macbooks cause it's based on Unix and unironically gives more customization options than Windows. It's peak for productivity cause of the good UI, high dpi, and great font rendering. The last point actually is a big deal for me since MS is just okay and Linux fricking blows at font rendering. It's just too expensive for me to justify buying.

It's a fair assumption to make if you're only familiar with IOS, which is pretty terrible in that regard, but this is an opinion that you'd only be able to hold if you've never used a mac before. Most things that I've wanted to do on macos have been doable from the settings app. I've pretty much never really felt compelled to do any kind of wizardry (anything requiring a google search), and when you do it's a single terminal command at most.

The only third party app I use for hotkeys and general productivity like that is rectangle, which lets you move windows around desktops and position them with keybinds. Sure, you can't customize your desktop environment in the same way you'd be able to do on linux, but you're never going to run into the microsoft problem of "why wont it let me do this thing that I very obviously should be able to do". Anytime Apple prevents you from doing something, it's only meant to prevent from doing something stupid. They're all intentionally very easy to circumvent by just holding alt, going into the settings, or running a terminal command.

Compared to windows where doing anything outside of microsoft's intended experience requires some bullshit third party app or changing the registry, it's not even close.
