Microsoft is literally requiring its devs to use AI to write parts of Windows
Comment on Microsoft breaks Windows reset and recovery

Jesus fucking Christ, is Windows just 100% vibe coded now? How do those fuckups keep happening? It's honestly unbelievable...
I'm so glad I decided to move away from it - I still have no idea what I'm doing in Linux, but then again I never had a lot of idea about what I'm doing in Windows either, so it's all good :)

...and it shows. God damn it shows, almost every week it seems, with yet another fuckup.

Enter your pin to unlock keepass. Don’t worry, I’ll make it pop up UNDER all the other windows when you want to unlock it. Also no, we still have a stock plain icon for windows hello in windows 11.

that’s what renders windows hello almost useless. I like the idea of having a short pin for logging in but it doesn’t mean bitwarden can be unlocked with the same pin instead of biometrics…

If that “AI” is getting feedback from fixes they make, then it makes sense. They are basically training it all the time. Except training it on their own devs seems to be pissing against the wind.

As the article mentions, it’s because Microsoft cut down their quality control to the point where they’re just sending stuff out then reacting when people report what breaks. Sure they have their “insider” builds but that program isn’t working very well to catch these issues that find their way into release builds.
Back in the day they had a massive testing lab and a big team of testers. Then they fired them all about 10 years ago. We can thank Satya Nadella I guess. He’s more of a line-go-up man than a making stuff work guy.

It's completely insane to me that businesses deal with it without suing their butts off. I can understand individual customers, they tend to be docile, but how did all this not cost massive losses to a litigious company yet?

Enterprise lags behind Home and Pro. Consumers are QA for Enterprise.

One lesson they took for RedHat, is it not?

They’ve gotten away with it for 10 years now. I’m sure they’ll continue to get away with it.

The fact of the matter is almost nobody really deals with these issues. I’m not saying they don’t exist, but their definatley blown out of proportion by the LINUX OR DIE echo chamber that forgets people have to use their work equipment or just want everything to work natively without having to learn bash and a hundred other things to make shit work. 75ish % of computers run windows, 2% use Linux. So an issue that effects a insignificant amount of windows users would be like half of the Linux base. I love Linux don’t get me wrong, and use it on my garage computer and other fun projects but my main gaming PC and my wife’s PC and all the computers at work all run windows for a reason. I doubt Linux has a good software to run a plasma table or a CNC mill, some stuff u just can’t do on Linux without investing more time than is worth.

This is what happens when corporations become so large, their product so ubiquitous, and have so many customers that they don’t need to worry about actual quality or service.
ripcord@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s what happens when big corporations decide that they can get away with having 30+% less staff, which most of the big companies are doing.
Plus lots of other efficiency killers, like RTO policies for teams that work 80% with people in other regions, etc.

At work win 11 has already messed up twice. Once in an image and it black screened. As in it stopped working and no blue screen just black.
Its pretty bad. At least win 10 kept working.

You might not yet always know what you’re doing to your Linux install…
But you can never really what the fuck Microsoft is gonna do to your windows install.
That’s without even getting into whether or not Microsoft knows what they’re doing themselves.

Amen to that.
I settled on Manjaro for now because it's super nice and easy to use - I heard it had some issues with updates on the past, but for the last year or so it's been really nice for me, so I'll wait until the first screwup before distro-hopping somewhere else :)

They know that they know nothing. They do what they must and let be what comes. An enlightened monopolist corporation.
