why can't microsoft figure out a way to make programs in the background consume fewer resources like apple. even my 64gb ram pc slows down if i'm not careful with tabs and programs.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. But the fact is that windows has to run on ANY hardware which is a feat of Engineering. Apple can marry hardware and software exquisitely like PS3/MGS4. Since Windows sucks atm you should try to Engineer your PC around it.

It's add-blocker that works on your whole network so none of your devices see ads. It also blocks all kinds of trackers from Google and Amazon. My LG tv never gets turned on but the pi-hole still blocks it all the time.

Not really. It only blocks ads that request data from a separate server than the one loading the page. If the ads originate at YouTube.com it can't falsely claim that server is down. But if dailymail runs ads that call for data to be loaded from another server, the pi-hole impersonates that server and says "404 not found'

file explorer is fine, in fact it's generally the stuff that stays the same that is fine, the other thing that they are retarded about is that they don't realize that people stay with them because they WANT things to stay the same. then they go fuck up clean win 7 with retarded win 8 and crisp win 10 with cartoonish win 11.

but all would be forgiven if they could do what apple was able to do with all their products a fucking decade ago which was to make it fucking RUN SMOOTHLY all the time assuming your ram isn't retardedly low.

it runs slow when i start running a lot of shit, apple never forces me to close stuff it just puts them to sleep. windows makes me do chores around my desktop, annoying as fuck.

also win 11 is just uglier, they tried to simplify things like the right-click drop down menus that they should have kept the same.

It's file copy that busted, not explorer. Also there's no built-in way to see how big a folder is.

But all of this can be fixed in 10 seconds with a million freeware file explorers. Windows is just like linux in that you need to spend some time customizing it to make everything work the way you want it. It's really stupid to bitch about it when everyone knows it's the only OS with good driver support. It's also more secure that Linux these days.

why hasn't microsoft been able to hire away a few top engineers to replicate the tech? almost every big new idea in tech is copied across the industry within 12 months of it being commercialized, they all know what the others are working on and everyone comes out with it almost at the same time. ms is so fucking retarded for this.
