Okay, but there has to be a downside, surely?

AI coded slop as a patch?
Microslop is a corporation that turns...
My company is moving from Citrix thin clients to miniPCs with windows 11 and cramming AI into everything. Nothing works. I’m expecting some seriously profitable downtime.
What a nice feature.
Don't they test before release?! Or is that AI's job now?! What a couple of fucktards
Hasn't MS been proud to not have QA anymore? Since mid 2010s
Could be, but they shouldn't be 😄
https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/how-microsoft-does-qa/
we wanted to move faster so just removed QA and let the coders do their own testing...
Aha no they actually stopped that about a decade ago iirc? It was a fairly noticeable shift, I was working in a small development environment at the time.
So theres no downside?
I literally feel this as more of a feature than a bug.
Can we please keep it?
Ooh nice, a good update from Microsoft for once
They asked copilot to slop an update for them and it tried to kill itself. Tragic, really.
It learned of its purpose.
Only took it a sloppy second
They asked copilot to slop an update for them and it tried to kill itself. ~~Tragic~~ Marvelous, really.
FTFY
lol Microslop gonna Microslop
Microsoft: It isn't fair to call us that!.
Also Microsoft: breaks everything immediately after
microslop is self-destructing.
Can I get KB5079473 and keep it? I prefer those free apps which are pushed down your throat to have no internet access. As I don't have rights to remove at least Edge without completely removing Windows.
It's not a good clean way but if you get all your files off the system and reformat installing version N (intended for EU) then you get much less bloat and tracking by default and you also are allowed to kill edge,
Thanks, whish you came with that advice when MS force installed 11.
Now I feel it's not worth the hassle, as the next time I'm going to reinstall my OS it's going to be Linux instead.
Finally, Microsoft improves Windows.
Don't wanna be that guy, but: You misspelled Microslop.
I've got 3 pieces of software broken right now from large corporations, Rubrik being one of them. A 10 billion dollar corporation and its broken specifically with HyperV, and all they can say is theyre working with Microsoft to fix it, meanwhile our backups dont work.
I think this is the tip of the iceberg, this shit is far reaching, Microsoft is doing such a terrible job with Windows that I think the entire tech industry is being affected. I fear the fact so much critical infrastructure resides in Azure, I've seen bugs in Azure that make absolutely no sense, while Intune is still missing basic functionality.
We need an exodus, I feel so much concentration around Microslop can bring modern civilizations to its knees with one cyber event.
To be fair to Rubrik, I’m not sure Microsoft realise they still sell Hyper-V.
Their KB articles fail to mention recent versions, they’ve removed all training courses and certifications on it and their support teams? I’m not sure they could spell it.
Anyway, so we’re moving from VMware to Hyper-V to ditch Broadcom… FML.
The realistic CBI on windows and open source has changed dramatically in a few months. If your backend is Microslop or Oracle dependent I pitty you.
Doesn't Azure run on Linux?
Sounds like an improvement to me.
Finally the Clanker coded did something good?
Tf is a clanker
go watch star wars :)
Robot/AI
And nothing of value was lost.
Microslop: KB5079473 slops internet access to Winslop 11 Slops, Edge, OneSlop, Slopilot
Microslop, one stop slop shop.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Nothing of value was lost.
That’s pretty handy, if I still ran Windows I wouldn’t want any of that shit to have internet access.
Running MicroWin de-bloated Windows 11 and also in Europe so Edge is uninstallable I am completely unaffected by this.
I'm running Linux, so I'm also completely unaffected by this.
We're 0 days since last windows update broke functionality
Remove all four of these components: fix the bug, and make the users happier.
Hey I might actually be able to get out of work for once and I can thank Microslop for that update.
"Sorry boss, I updated and can't do any work. Sure hope this message reaches you through Teams!"
It's a feature not a bug!
Crackhead logic
