Hi all.
Well, firstly look here.
https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/05/set_up_windows11_local_account/
Thats an article on setting up windows 11 with local account and its well written.
Next, ai is coming to the task bar on 11.
Let me state this in plain and normal english that any child can understand.
We don’t need any god damned muther fucking extra gadgets or any muther fucking extra modifications or the use of ai like its another extra shoelace here.
Haven’t we learned anything here with the scifi movies.
I mean sure its great we get the latest gpt models now but really should we be doodling now?
There are millions still on win10, because ms and that processer crazyness.
Now its been revealed that unofficially 8th gen cpus on intel are the lowest as of last week and amd 2000 cpus also which mean we can at least run 11 at low spec.
For those not on the extra year, once you get it, get it and take it.
The easiest way is to back your settings and transfer.
Nothing else has been said on recall but we really don’t need this.
We need microsoft to fix all the updates and bugs in the complex system they have already.
I said this before but I will say it again.
We really don’t need this 11 at all.
I have friends who say its complex and buggy and those are friends I trust.
Win10 works, lets go back to basics and just let it run.
Failing that, clean the garden before you start improving the flowers.
You already have recall which is well who knows, and your ai which everyone will try to get out because well we don’t see any reason for it.
On that note updates for this week are small.
Codecguide updates and signs firefox will be releasing sooner or later the 142 release and thunderbird should follow.
Chrome updated yesterday to 139 and edge will probably follow.
Out of banned office went yesterday for offline units not sure about the 360 version.
Of major import dotnet libs got updates today.
Amd also released an extra update to the august driver but you will have to run the auto driver module which I don’t care for as its not that usable for us vips but once its installed and you remove all the startup junk from the system the interface does work if you care to fiddle.
Just a heads up, patches are next week, but I may or may not be putting entries up as I am due for my next medical workout next tuesday.
I will be on a different program for the rest of the week.
I also go out for a week at the end of the month, and then another few days in the middle of the next one, followed by another in november.
After that my summer will be filled with family from another country followed by holidays for a week or 2 to another section of the country without me taking my system and the nets.
Its been revealed may/june will be another trip off country and so I have a reasonably busy year.
Check the personals for the entire story of that later.
See you on the other side of the week.
