Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings

What is “half baked dog shit” about it?

The fact that they’re moving things over slowly instead of just fucking finishing it before they deploy it all at once. They’ve been doing this since Windows 10 came out, they have a trillion dollars. There’s no excuse to have it be half assed for so long especially considering “Settings” isn’t even an improvement.

What was easier to find in the control panel than it is in settings?

Literally everything? You don’t have to click through 14 different menus to drill down to what you’re looking for. It’s all on one window in Control Panel. Just look at Devices and Printers in Control Panel vs. Devices in settings or Programs and Features vs. Apps and features the newer versions have far less information available at a glance.

You’ve never actually used windows 11, have you?

I use it every day on my work PC. It runs like ass.

Correction: they’ve been doing it since Windows 8 came out.

  Totally forgot Windows 8. We skipped it because of how shitty it was.

  Wasn’t it vista that started to hide things in the control panel?

I’ve already been over this, as have MS many times.

Making any change to legacy systems in Windows is a massive risk and requires a lot of work. Win32 for example isn’t good and should have been removed a loooooong time ago, but here we are still with it.

Got any examples of this? Settings are generally at most 3 levels deep from the main settings screen.

What am I looking at? The “Bluetooth & Devices” settings page is good. What’s wrong with it?

It runs like ass.

It’s not even debatable that it’s the most performant windows ever lol.
