They already said less shit.

Windows 11 still has screens from Windows 95 in it…

(The format dialogue is one of the easiest to find.)

Because 12 years is barely even enough time to graduate high school?

Rokus have the same problem regardless of form factor. But this thread is about people who want to use the Steam Machine for streaming.

You should literally never use the apps built in to your TV. Unless you just really like letting the TV manufacturer know exactly what you are watching and when.

On Linux you check the box in Firefox that says Allow DRM Content and then yes, as far as I know, you need to be using laptop or a HDMI display.

For sure it’s been an option since 7, but I feel like I remember there being a way to do something similar in XP.

I am like 97% sure it’s already just a macro key that simulates a press of win+ctrl+c or something like that that can be changed in the registry. They added a bunch of combos that open office apps and shit a while back.

But you can also just pin Terminal or any other app to your taskbar and then press win+[number desired pinned app is away from start button/search/task/whatever].

I’m confused, the Zune and Metro (pre Windows 8, Metro was introduced with the Zune HD and used in Windows Phone) are some of the better things Microsoft has ever produced.

If you said UMPCs, Cortana, Copilot+ I would understand.

Why upgrade when you can get another year of updates? You don’t even have to have a MS account if you know what large rocks to look under.

I still have my steam-less 1.6 installer somewhere.

I was so excited when I finally had a machine that could run Crysis at full graphics settings.

I want AMD apus to dominate the space. I want Linux to empower them.

Monkey’s Paw: I have really good news for you about the PS4/5!

Except that Windows versions of the same handheld are more expensive.

there hadn’t really been decades of enshittification of gaming at that point

I would argue that is exactly what companies like Softkey and PopCap were doing well before 2009.

Microsoft wanted to start tracking logins and program launches well before Windows 8 but were prevented from including things like the .Net Passport in Windows XP due to an injunction in 1998.

Even crap like BonziBuddy was getting slapped on the wrist for collecting information on people under 13 in 2004.

FarmVille was just one of the first to get away with it.

I am not sure. FarmVille seems to me more like the logical (for capitalism) conclusion of decades of enshitification in the casual gaming space.

Games for attention harvesting had been tried before too. MSN Messenger and AIM both had built in social games with ad space back when they were the shit. Windows ME, XP, and Vista even shipped with some of them built in.

It’s based on Wine/Crossover. EXE compatibility came literally decades before DirectX compatibility.
