Dear Linux users: Moving to Linux isn’t always the magical solution to fixing someone’s problems. Sometimes someone has to stay on windows because their proprietary software does not work on Linux. Before you just say “just use Linux lol” maybe stop for 3 microseconds and think about their needs.

A modern Chromium web browser fork that works under Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.x named "Chromium for windows 7", don't let the name fool you, it works under Windows XP and Vista without mods.
Unlike the other Chromium forks, this is mostly stock Chromium.

I just found out that someone put a sign on the side of the road where the Bliss hill is!

This wasn't me, but whoever made it put a quote from my documentary on it 👀
a photograph of a sign attached to a wooden post in front of the location of the "Bliss" hill in Sonoma County, CA. It reads: Bliss (Bucolic Green Hills) This serene landscape, photographed by Charles O'Rear in January 1996, became the iconic Windows XP wallpaper. "Seen by billions, but remembered by few."

Considering Microsoft has taken down older stuff off the Microsoft Download website, kind of surprising to see Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 Evaluation CD still being available to download in 2025.

New video! Back in 2010, ASUS launched the Eee Keyboard PC - an entire computer housed in a keyboard, screen included! It's one of the strangest computer designs that I've seen in a while, and today we're gonna mess around with it.

and because this is named "Microsoft Defender" it now shows up in search results above ya know, the Windows Security app where you go to configure Microsoft Defender.

they even use the same icon for maximum confusion potential

we live in hell!
Windows 11 search box for "defender" showing this new Microsoft Defender app instead of Windows Security, the app I actually want to open.

hey @microsoft.com dressing your office 365 ads as security software is a pretty fucked up thing to do if you ask me
window titled "Microsoft Defender" prompting me to sign in with my Microsoft account window titled "Microsoft Defender" saying "Subscribe to Microsoft 365 to extend your protection" Smallest possible text: "Your Windows device has virus and threat protection. For more details, open the Windows Security app." Regular font size again: "Microsoft 365 subscribers get additional protection with Microsoft Defender for individuals: Protection for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows, Premium Microsoft 365 productivity apps and cloud storage" "Start 1 month free trial*"

Definitely very readable release notes.
The release notes in the update window has black text in dark background, making it very hard to read.

Microsoft's Bing decided to copy Google by dropping support for older web browsers. 😢
When visiting bing.com in old web browser like Internet Explorer 6, it says We're sorry, but your current browser is no longer supported. To continue using Bing, please upgrade to a modern browser. At the end, there's a hyperlink that says Upgrade your browser which links to the Microsoft Edge download webpage.
