Brand new, out of the box. It’s been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.

    The best part is still too come, clicking through the 10 or so questions, where the preselected option is the always the bad one regarding privacy, and the “good” one is a compromise at best.

    One of our customers has a Lenovo with an i7 10th gen and 16gb of memory. Booting up takes about 5 minutes on an NVMe drive and using our application, based on Microsoft Access, takes literal years to save an entry.

    Windows can fucking die in a hotel fire.

    I prefer using Linux because I can customize my desktop without having to install a dozen different 3rd-party apps.

    My other favorite is when they add Edge to my desktop periodically

    Oh, and the one time they put a fucking arrow on my wallpaper pointing at Edge. That’s what finally convinced me to make it my default browser

          i feel like the meeting went like that:

          exec: “why is no one using it?”

          dev: “shit browser, same tech as chrome”

          exec: “ok? how can we increase usage ffs?”

          dev: “lol, dunno, giant white arrow pointing at the icon?”

          exec: “ship it tomorrow “

            I don’t know where or what version of Windows this is but I administer a shit ton of windows devices and have never seen this. Wondering if this is a home edition or some version of OEM.

          Can you unpin Edge from the taskbar? That should get rid of the arrow. Or maybe the next windows update would bring it back.

            Oh, yeah that was the solution lol. It’s more the fact that they took the liberty of pinning it there for me, and then drew the arrow over my screen. The sheer audacity of it all
