TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

I love winutil. Makes debloating windows a lot easier.

MIT license:

Explore a beautiful Windows-first design. Manage all your files with increased productivity. Work across multiple folders with tabs. And so much more.

It looks nice, and has extra features like tabs, tagging 7zip/archive management, cloud drives, git integration, comparing file hashes, etc.

The only issue I had was performance, it took a long time to start each time. I'm planning on trying it again sometime later

Glad I moved away from Windows on all my personal computers. Fedora with Plasma is so similar to Windows and so much better. If my non-tech partner can use it, then anyone can.

Only problem is that Windows is better at resizing content on high resolution (4K) monitors. And ordering multiple monitors on the login screen doesn't always work right, but it's fine once logged in. And it takes a bit more to set up than preinstalled Windows that's on most computers when you buy them. But if it was preinstalled and set up already for the hardware like Windows usually is, it would be way better for nearly everyone.

So, I just bought a new laptop. It came with Windows 11. But anyways, I'm writing this comment from a freshly installed Bazzite Linux OS.

I hope every SWE looks at this and remembers how not to conduct oneself.

I doubt it's the engineers who are demanding that this atrocity exist.

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (4 children)

The issue is that people who find an issue with it and don't want to do it will get told off by management. Then management just replaces them with someone who is willing to do it (for job safety, or simply because they don't care)

Thats just how big tech is

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

And it's why I, as a self-respecting SWE, refuse to apply to big tech jobs. Yeah, I could get paid a lot more, but it's not worth it for the work culture. My current org seems to respect my opinions and values, and that's worth a lot more than money.

As much as I would love this to kick MS in the backside, it won’t. The public at large has no idea what this is or why it’s bad and evil. They will buy a computer, it will come with Windows, and they’ll use it like they always have. Companies and Govts will gripe initially, but give in because their ancient VB enterprise apps only run on Windows.

Didnt they try this same shit with IE decades ago until they were forced to decouple it from explorer?

Fuuuuuck....well....my laptop was my last windows device. It came with 11 installed, and the only reason I keep using 11 is because I have had no success in running my DAW in wine. Guess it's time to give it a go again....

Might be a stupid question but this requires a NPU right? I told some fellas about it and there response was something like does not matter because they have older hardware so it can't run anyway. So what happens to win 11 PCs with no NPU?
