Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@twistedwhiskers8776 says : 4:39 yes in the interface settings just have a advanced menus>> <<@EarlShonkwiler says : First off, thanks for your informative and accurate videos. Next, I am one that has an older PC desktop that will not take Windows 11; meaning that my options are to continue to run Windows 10 without support, purchase a new computer with Windows 11 and, most likely become frustrated learning where everything is and all of the changes Windows has done, not to have a computer (not really much of an option in today's world) or to say a very final 'goodbye' to Windows and go with Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. I have watched several of your videos on Linux Mint that you have done and from what I have seen I like it. And, I definitely agree that Windows needs to allow the user have control of what they are using, along with stop have the stupid and irritating pop-up flash up with 'Finish setting up your computer'! Let a person have control of what they are using and they just might finish setting up their computer; could be they already have finished. One reason out of many why I am most likely going to be changing to Linux this week. Again, thank you for your videos you do provide an extremely useful service. Have a good day!>> <<@carste888 says : Stop the ecocide! Windows 12 compatibility with older systems! Microsoft should be suit for ECOCIDE for all the milions windows 10 pc's which are now landfill. And for all the planets resources needed to produce new pc's for windows 11 just to replace them. While technically, windows 10 and windows 11 have the same requirements! I like this planet, so I will never give a cent to Microsoft to support their ecocide. Happy with Linux Mint Cinnamon.>> <<@DroneForPeace says : Thanks for creating such a video. I hope it reaches out to some @microsoft decision maker. I really don't like to be forced. I might have used Edge if I wasn't forced. Just let me decide what I want to do. I don't want to create a Microsoft account, I just want to use my PC hustle free.>> <<@leonidd00 says : Something like WIndows 7 would be nice, without the whole AI stuff :( rather providing the AI stuff as optional or online, but please not built in into the opearting system.>> <<@Alexander_Sannikov says : Why should microsoft do any of the things that you mentioned? They do what brings them money: removing options that they don't want to support, stealing your data, forcing your choices, spamming more ads, etc. It's literally their modern business model and it works for them, I see no reason why they should be changing anything. I know what I should be doing though. Use and support the linux ecosystem.>> <<@Paint2D_ says : Windows 11 made me switch to linux, I don't think I will ever go back to windows as long as steam (or someone else) keeps up the linux game support.>> <<@forced4motorsports says : Add full legacy DEs. Probably only need two and people will flock to their spyware like moths to a flame: An XP DE and Windows 7, (including Aero) DE. No forced MS account or Virtual Desktop and as Oliverhale85 said, real ownership.>> <<@mrh829 says : Right in line with "respect user choices," when I tell Windows to stop warning me about the "security issue" of me NOT submitting my files to help improve Windows Defender, that means "I *NEVER* want to see a warning message about that again, FULL STOP." It does not mean "warn me again next week" - all this behavior does is train users to ignore the yellow exclamation point on the security center icon, thereby completely defeating the purpose of the warning symbol.>> <<@JamesK-z5j says : I'd like to see less AI integrated in Windows 12. There are too many cyber threats as it is, AI needs to be regulated. I don't want Windows to be powered by AI, just go back to Windows that users liked>> <<@acajoom says : I find it impossible for Microsoft to do all that. Even if they did 1 of the things you mentioned, the rest would still be there. And I am sure after Windows 12, they will skip Windows 13 cause they know people fear ghosts but not them.>> <<@eds5977 says : I am thinking about Linux also.>> <<@devaruldas589 says : Microsoft should "re-release" Windows 7 and just call it Windows 12 and call it a day! Windows 11 is the most ridiculous version of Windows (barring Vista and Windows 8) that MS has ever released. .... oh yea, don't forget Window Me ! 🤨>> <<@rfs54 says : Windows Needs to Finally be Finished it's been several Decades Now, & what i really hate is when they started the end of life bs it used to be hey we have new features coming in our newest edition, if you wanted them then you got the new one if not you kept what you had NOW it's scare tactics Hey get the new version or risk the consequences & 8 was so bad they were getting to the possibility of law suits so offer 10 for free (oh no people are keeping their old machines longer what now ? ) let's forget about 10 being promted as the last version and make another but we need to appease the machine makers so let's force people to buy new machines , Now yet Another Version ??? what now it has to be self aware AI?? , it is getting way to ridiculous. i am REALLY thinking of going to LINUX...>> <<@advarkmerrygoround1425 says : I was just watching your comments and could not agree more. The one thing I missed the most was not being able to control the colour scheme on Windows 10 or 11. Luckily I saved my own theme from Windows 7. deskthemepack files can be loaded into W10 and W11 from W7 so I have managed to grade the white backgrounds down and have it look how I want it to look. Bring back user control....................Great Youtube site Sir>> <<@nathanslife2297 says : What are you going to put on your tablet when support ends for Windows 10?>> <<@MetalMugger says : Beware with any site you use, but I've purchased several Windows 10 Pro keys from VIPSDkey for only $15-30 a piece and thankfully haven't been scammed yet. Windows is a freakin highway robbery at full price!>> <<@soularis35 says : Yep you nailed it!! Been this way for years. Its like some.coming into your kitchen and moving all your silverwear and dishes into Different drawers and then you have to change the way you do everything just to make lunch. 🤦>> <<@johngangemi1361 says : What Microsoft should do in my opinion: - Give the user the choice to disable Cortana and Copilot for all users without using registry hacks or group policy editor. - Ditch the home editions of windows which are hot garbage in my opinion. - Remove the bloatware that is installed by third parties and Microsoft which are junk apps. - More precise privacy and telemetry settings for all user accounts. - Respect users preferences for not using Microsoft browsers and apps. - Fix the Settings and Control panel and make them functionally equivalent. - Remove the ridiculous minimum system requirements and using security as an excuse. - Respect user choice for using local accounts. - Fix Windows Update PLEASE! - Add common AV codecs without having to pay for them after the fact. - Microsoft web apps and desktop apps are NOT EQUIVALENT. I am talking about the future Microsoft Outlook which is garbage and is not functionally equivalent to a desktop email client.>> <<@keyserxx says : I've installed maybe 20 printers for people on Windows 11 and every time I'm lost in where I need to go to set as default printer, it's a maze lol, I'm reduced to just clicking things, so bad. Bad UI intern, bad! 10 is fine, I'm just hanging on for another 2 years. I've tried Linux a few times but it's catch 22 with needing more software/driver support. Hey ho. Windows 12 will just install the printer when I press the AI key right? We're doomed :)>> <<@dougs_trains says : I think you are preaching to the choir here. Most of the design crew at MS will be millennials who think they know it all and are better than their predecessors and thus will do whatever it takes to differentiate their work from those who have come before. They probably all use iPhones and are wondering why Windows is not more like Apple OS.>> <<@edgarmatzinger9742 says : Title: _"Windows 12: What should Microsoft do?"_ Stop developing. It's junk anyway.>> <<@ricardozettl6713 says : You are absolutely right, I confirm every single point you mentioned. As others comment, too, I don't worry about paying something, but I don't want to be forced to do things I don't want to do.>> <<@ericbezwerchny2013 says : Microsoft software and management have consistently shown flaws, disrespecting users by bombarding them with unnecessary updates and bloatware. Despite paying a significant fee for a license, users are inundated with constant, frustrating monthly updates that reinstall unwanted software, essentially wasting time and resources. This trend, persisting over the past two decades, has pushed many disillusioned users toward seeking alternative operating systems like Linux. These alternatives are gaining traction due to their absence of bloatware, annoying updates, and their consistent enhancement with features that genuinely benefit users.>> <<@KoopstaKlicca says : I haven't used windows in quite some time so I didn't know about some of the stuff they do now. Its utterly ridiculous that you get reminders to "set up your PC" if you choose to use alternative browsers or refuse to back up to one drive.>> <<@ShamaticFocus says : From what i can hear, most people would LOVE a company that would give what we need. Its just not there yet.>> <<@CyberDunk2077 says : Microsoft should make windows 12 work on older computers that don't support windows 11, save a few million PCs from landfill !>> <<@wendygrant2735 says : I totally agree. Microsoft should give our own paid computers back to the customers. I'm so annoyed with the reminder to upgrade from 10 to 11 and now even 12. Have I rights or what? I'd love to change to linux Mint, but for the moment I still need windows.>> <<@Kirmo13 says : I would be so so so surprized if any of these changes are present on the release>> <<@_Hold_My_Beer_ says : Microsoft's initial platform to remove people from the equation. This platform will start offering to do your work for you. Then once it understands how to carry out the tasks fully Microsoft will contact your company and say 'We can sell you X amount of AI Workers for half the current pay for the roles' halving your employee overheads' - they will target the companies initially that will benefit the most. Are you working from home as a human right? - Your done... your first. - its coming - you had better get ready because you will be jobless if your job is not unique and hands on, if you physically do not create anything physical - you might want to think about getting those skills.>> <<@Galaxy.Windows says : Windows 12 shoud restore the control panel>> <<@Galaxy.Windows says : i see this video in 6 December 2023>> <<@250bythepark says : As a home builder and multi-monitor user, Windows 11 was a big step backwards in terms of the taskbar. You can't even put it on the left/right side of the screen, neither can you drag the taskbar to a secondary monitor. The only options you have is a taskbar on the primary display, or a taskbar on all displays and I think that is a big waste of usable screen area. Consequently I am still running Windows 10 and I doubt I'll migrate to 11. Fingers crossed for 12.>> <<@BenjaminEmm says : Microsoft should spend time, real time, making Windows 12 the next generation. By that, I mean they should bring all the interfaces into the modern day. Delving deep into windows is like a portal through time! You’ll start at the windows 11 settings menu, proceed to the windows 7 control panel, and if you dig deep enough, end up at even older xp/95 looking options menus!>> <<@shadowbanned4606 says : By explicitly buying windows you are supporting planned obsolescence scam.>> <<@shadowbanned4606 says : 9:20 Why there is a need for windows 12 where they still haven't fixed windows 7....>> <<@shadowbanned4606 says : 6:30 Blue screen failure.>> <<@shadowbanned4606 says : Windows 12: What should Microsoft do? They will do everything else but what's necessary.>> <<@shadowbanned4606 says : Windows 12: What should Microsoft do? Abandon it.>> <<@987555555 says : Great video as always. Hearing of a new windows version always makes me think how it was said that Windows 10 was going to be the "last version of Windows">> <<@MrHristoB says : Chris, absolutely spot on!! I dumped anything MS related back in 2000's and never looked back. Even thought my kids to use Linux. Want to play games - Santy landed one Christmas with a PlayStation, problem solved. MS have gone the wrong way and when I pay a premium for a product, It's mine and I don't need to be told how to use it. Apple are even worse. I don't need to buy another PC every time MS comes up with another brain fart. The latest was the TPM... Might be useful in a corporate IT infrastructure, if someone else wants it, then can buy it extra, I don't see a reason why pushing it to everyone. I build my own machines, according my needs and budget. Linux desktop have gone a long way and more usable than ever for every day tasks. Plenty to choose from. Pick a distro and if you like it, then send the developers a few quid, when and how much, up to you. I don't really care about MS revenue stream or their shareholders, neither should be any of us.>> <<@IC225 says : what microsoft can do with their new BIN-dows.....stuff it up their rear ends !!!. you cannot game on a windows OS...its impossible. im so sick and tired of things in background ruining gaming that you cant disable, like microsoft content (constantly restarts instance every few mins after ending process), modules installer (re-enables itself), data exchange host, mouso core worker process (re-enables itself and continues to pester and messes gaming up), and that anti-malware thing that also ruines gaming by enabling itself whenever it feels like screwing things up. not to mention having to disble updates due to unwanted PUPs (apps) auto installing and cropping up in task mgr....yet another pile of tosh using resorces best kept for gaming. microsoft (or microcrap as i call them) really are disrespectfull of the end users who OWN the devies...microsoft DONT own the end users !!, we 'should' have the rights to turn things on/off as we please to fit OUR preferencies.>> <<@dahretoes5864 says : 8:30 is litterally my least favorite thing about windows 11, i have to right click a few times just for it to show the delete option or copy, its very stupid>> <<@etv7846 says : How come you as a computer expert and builder completely forgot to suggest to Microsoft to reconsider the hardware requirement of windows 12 since the hardware requirements of windows 11 is the main problem why many didn't bother upgrading to windows 11 and you know this? Win 11 kind of failed to attract many people to switch from 10. Most people decided to keep their fine working pc and if Microsoft doesn't look at this, 12 will be a failure just like 11.>> <<@Pedro8k says : I totally agree with all you have said they are totally out of touch with what the user wants and needs, windows 12 will be a rehashed version of 11. Their market share is decreasing>> <<@MrOrtmeier says : Windows is so terrible. Not only if it an interior product from a programming point of view, but it also completely restricts and even spies on the user. Just awful. Use Linux instead>> <<@rsimch says : Microsoft's Sathya Nadella is on a billion dollars raise a day everyday path, no-one can expect a fair pricing treatment during Nadella times of Microsoft, any such customer relationships building may happen in Microsoft only after Nadella is removed 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮>> <<@ryanmalinowski7529 says : I would like a Windows OS that embraces older hardware. You could have you newest and greatest, most "secure" version of Windows 12, and maybe create a Windows Legacy OS that supports older or weaker hardware and charge $29 or $39 for that with semi regular updates. You could have both worlds, Microsoft, if you embrace it and understand that not everyone likes all of the recent changes.>> <<@89__tirtharajpati69 says : Absolutely agree with the first point. Here in India, if Microsoft sells official Windows lisence for $30(roughly 2000 INR), most people who use Windows would happily pay that amount for a lifetime lisence. Regarding the second point, I have always wanted some different font. Why they can't provide such a simple setting.>> <<@Yudikab says : good suggestion chris.but maybe not happen with bad MS ecosystem.i turn to linux mint now.and happy with it and looking decent HW for it.glad have good time and resource with open source space>>
