I legitimately cannot believe how comically powerful medium level hardware has become yet the windows user experience is so much shittier than it was almost 20 years ago. I remember school machines struggling less to power up on 1gb ram and a one core machine that my gaming rig does sometimes. Windows is such a fucking waste of computing power.
ive had to learn never to use the ‘more info’ or ‘search’ options at all, as it defaults to a web search now instead of what im used to, a hdd search for my file or internal windows help documentation. fuggen ! something something you are the product smh my head
