I'm pretty sure notepad.exe is actually below the kernel. Its load bearing.

    I can confirm it's not. One cool feature Windows does have is Windows sandbox, which lets you instantly start a blank Windows VM with no persistence. I was playing around with it yesterday and discovered it doesn't include notepad in the guest OS!

    They brought it back (well, a modern version) in Win 11.

    It's available for Linux too!

    Recently revived my old gaming PC, decided to put Bazzite on it. Was a bit surprised to see that sudoedit had a menubar and everything, used to it being vim or something. Got even more surprised when I found out it was made by fucking Microsoft. Yuck.

    Lol. Work is currrently trying to cram Copilot into critical business processes despite it being incapable of doing very basic things.

    However, it has shed light on the fact that we have people in management who dont understand the fundamentals of how our business operates. Not that anything will be done about it.

    have they tried replacing management with copilot?

    I mean with some of the managers I hear about, it couldn't be worse than the current situation....

    I've always said that most middle management can be replaced by LLMs. And not even the more expensive models. Gemini flash would probably do about as good of a job as most middle managers.

    Of course an LLM couldn't do the job of a really good middle manager. But most middle management is basically doing basically what LLMs do, and hallucinate and get things wrong just as often.

    To be fair, systemd is like the Windows 11 of Linux software.

    About cmd: if you trace back things like right-click > print, it's usually a switcheroo between 7 registry keys and 5 directories that ends in some.dll /arg.

    Not sure what the Apple logo is doing there, though Macs did have Boot Camp until the Apple Silicon models.
