New Frequently Asked Questions list in Settings > System > About hidden in builds 26120.3576 and 22635.5090. Has some questions related to the Windows version and device specs. (vivetool /enable /id:55305888).
That’s an easy answer. It’s because it’s running Windows 11. Install Linux on it and it won’t suck anymore.
FEED ME, SEYMORE!
Just download more RAM. I don’t see what the big deal is? /s
Unlock more RAM with a monthly subscription, starting at 10 €/month for every GB we disabled for you!
Brings back memories!
5.1 Calculations per second? Seems low.
Its running Windows. Once the corporations have taken their cut, there are 5.1 calculations left for the user.
Simpler times, when 0.0000000051 GHz was enough to get by!
Depends on what is calculated. Calculating all digits of pi 5.1 times per second seeems pretty fast.
Didn’t it also max out at something ridiculous like 8.6? To “keep room for better hardware in the future”?
it maxed out at 5.9 at first, then it was raised to 7.9 for Win7 and 9.9 for the rest. TIL it’s still a thing, I thought it started and ended with Vista: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_System_Assessment_Tool
This existed briefly, but was quickly removed because big box retailers complained that people were looking at the real stats instead of big numbers in their ads.
The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”
Windows 11 won’t let me know anything. Ever since I was able to get Final Fantasy XIV to run on my Debian laptop, I have not had Windows on any of my computers.
Ever since i was able to play system shock one for the first time and monhun world stopped bsoding on my fedora, i won’t experience this feature either.
bsoding
If you’re getting BSOD on Linux, you run goofed somewhere.
Windows 11 will soon let you know why
your PC hardwareWindows 11 sucks.Imagine your car does this too: “Beep Bop. Too slow. Car needs a new engine and tire.”
Not really even accurate though. It’s more like “buy a new car”.
It would be really nice if upgrading the engine was something the average person could just do. That’s feasible on EVs, but I’m guessing manufacturers and regulators block it.
No, you can do it.
Can I take a Tesla Model 3 or Chevy Bolt and throw on a second motor? Can I add some additional battery capacity in the back?
In theory, yes, of course. It won’t bolt right in, obviously.
It’s already happening, not this aggressive. My kia vehicle for example, it will display a prompt screen on the dashboard. Telling me about how I have X days of service left. It is telling me, indirectly, that I need to change my oil or do something when I looked up what it was.
That would be like windows setting up a notification to dust your pc.
That’s a pretty bog-standard feature though… My 2008 Toyota has a maintenance reminder light that pops on every 5000 miles.
It’s supposed to do that though, just like any other vehicle notification. That’s why they install all of those light indicators. Check Engine. Low Fuel. All of those things.
Not a screen that pops up telling you specifically that you have some days left to service your vehicle. Especially in all places, where you start up your vehicle, where your MPH is measured .etc
Seems like a way to push hardware sales
MS doesn’t really sell much hardware though…
What are you talking about? Most people buy from major manufacturers, so another hardware sale means another Windows sale.
Ms will be paid handsomely by intel and nvidia to push their hardware and ignore competition. Kinda like intel has always done make their cpus seem and benchmark better.
Pretty narrow vision. Microsoft can suggest hardware for you and charge the seller for the advert.
Wow your chrome is running really slow, try buying new Corsair ddr5 ram available now on amazon
Can. Are they?
Just discussing potential.
They sell bogus certification for others hardware though.They used to, not relevant today. Sorry.
Do they? This is the first I’m hearing about this.
Looks like my info is pretty out of date, they stopped charging a long time ago.
Oh you mean like Windows 7 did
Wasn’it even introduced in Vista?
Now that you mention it, yes. I’d forgotten because I barely used Vista. I ran it as a dual boot with XP and wound up staying on XP most of the time. Didn’t really switch over till 7.
fuck windows 11
fuck Microsoft
Unfortunately Windows 11 is the only OS to actually implement HDR properly. For that reason alone I still dual boot it with Arch.
But it can’t even give me a descriptive error message as to why it won’t accept my password change. Huh.
(Minimum password age, really?)
Or any error issue.
Just install UBUNTU, it will make your 10 year old machine run like it’s brand new because the OS doesn’t suck and isn’t Windows 98 with code piled on top of it.
That’s unfair. It’s Windows NT with code piled on top. Also, Linux Mint may be an easier transition for Windows users.
Ubuntu has been in quite its own mess and having an identity crisis now.
Honestly, not a bad feature for once. I have seen people build (or get others to build for them) the weirdest fucking systems.
Now, the question will be, will they actually keep it around this time? This was a feature they introduced in Vista, and soon after killed.
