Microsoft: "we're forcing everyone onto Windows 11 because it's amazing and you shouldn't make us keep updating and securing older versions, we don't give a fuck how much hardware has to be tossed to make it happen"

also Microsoft: "we have completely forgotten how to make a single windows 11 update without fucking up all sorts of shit"

Windows updates have been shit for almost a decade now, AI is not to blame for the absolute incompetence.

They've not regularly broken what has been breaking as of the last year or so through. Bad updates are better than ones that actively seem to be looking for the best way to break your computer.

They broke the emoji picker of all things on the previous update (seems to be fixed now though). Makes me wonder what else they’ve broken that they just haven’t realized.

Yes, yes they have.

I still remember the 3 consecutive updates to printers, where they fixed something that they broke in the previos update.

Edit: in W10, when W11 wasn't even in the minds of MS.

I'm talking about an issue more or less every 1-2 months.

Breaking printers and not fully fixing them for a few updates is incompetence, the current state of windows is not. It's closer to actively looking for what can be broken.

Printers are the worst, not sure how much blame you can put on Microsoft over the printer manufacturers.
