  • Despite Microsoft's push, Windows 11 and Edge see decreases in user share

    Jump

  • One of the issues indeed.

    Here's a few more:

    • stringent and unnecessary hardware requirements
    • changing app defaults is cumbersome
    • Home version requires a MS account
    • right click menu costs more clicks than in 10

    And so on and so forth...

  • Looks like it would be easy for MS to allow this out of the box.

  • The taskbar still cannot be pinned to the side? I stay with 10.

    Still no properly customisable Start menu? I stay with 10.

    Still refusing to let my older devices upgrade for no good reason? I stay with 10.

    And a number of further reasons that make me refuse 11.

    We're not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.

  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

    Jump

  • I agree that it's not great that telemetry is shared, but to say that you buy it "just" to share your data is an exaggeration. I am sure you do useful things with it.

    That said, yes, it is bloated and I wish you could really turn off all telemetry. Am totally with you on that.

  • The way mobile providers charge. The likes of Vodafone, any random Telecom, T-Mobile and so forth. It's a huge scam, bordering theft sometimes. Want samples? Here we go:

    "Your credit expires in x days. Better recharge now to not lose it!" (Banks should start doing this /s)

    "Your credit has expired. Better give us more money within our generous deadline, or else we are forced to delete your number. We love you."

    "Your data has expired. We now charge you a horrendous amount every minute, because we are too greedy to warn you in time. For technical reasons we also cannot stop you from using data after your allowance has been used. Fortunately you still have credit, huh?"

    "Your data expires today. We don't insult your intelligence by telling you when. Surely you remember when you bought the package, right? It's not hard to count 24 hours. We also do not send any SMS anymore to save the environment."

    "Your data has expired. You need data to buy a new bundle. Our app charges data for our convenience."

    "Social media data only works for WhatsApp, but not for Signal. But who uses Signal anyways?"

    "Use our customer friendly support chat. Conveniently it uses data. 'Hello, I am your smart bot speaking. How can I help you? I might understand you if you type one of the three questions I have been programmed to answer. Do you want to know more about our products?'"

    Edit: added point 2, minor corrections for clarity

  • Chromium - and thus Google - dominates the Internet way too much. This causes trouble and has the potential to cause a lot more trouble in the future.

    This has been discussed many times before, of course.

  • Why would I use this "Geometric Weather" on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?

    Doesn't show as much information (e.g. dew point, daily forecast details).

    Doesn't support multiple weather providers, AFAIK.

    Doesn't look as nice, if that matters.

    Both apps don't track. I would venture a guess and say that Breezy Weather has the warning, because it includes AccuWeather, which can be turned off and changed to OpenMeteo or others.
