  • Yeah there's been loads of threads with surprised Europeans when it comes to Windows ads, because we just don't get them.

  • My EU Win11 doesn't show any ads either.

  • Left-right on the D-pad is hardly a complex input. Just about every child managed to discover it. It was one of the few ways they could make Mario Kart a bit more skill based.

  • Hint, Palestine wasn't there when Israel was created so that is Israel's land

    Israel wasn't there when Israel was created either. This is some nonsense argumentation.

    And B this most recent war was all started by Hamas.

    Hamas has been in armed conflict with Israel for decades. I think you're confusing peace with quiet. And even then there have been repeated attacks on Palestinian land by Israeli settlers.

    There has never been an independent, sovereign Arab state in the region known as Palestine. The Arab population began developing a distinct Palestinian national identity toward the end of the Ottoman period and especially during the British Mandate in opposition to Jewish immigration and British rule.

    Neither had there been a sovereign, independent Jewish state. There was however a semblence of a Palestinian national identity near the end of the Ottoman period, which is well before the establishment of Israel. Regardless, there were plenty of Arabic people living there. Zionist settlers had no right to colonise the region and drive these people from their homes.

    You should really look into how Israel was established, especially look at the large amounts of Zionist terrorist groups seeking to commit ethnic cleansing. Jews had lived relatively peacefully in the region for centuries until these nationalist fanatics came along.

  • For those confused: it was the Dutch that placed the display panels about African American soldiers.

    It was removed on orders of the Trump administration.

  • You're citing from a document criticizing the HLG. These are sources for that criticism.

    These are not members of the HLG itself.

  • I mean, Israel has killed significantly more people in Gaza than Hamas ever did in Israel. In the most recent conflict Israel killed 35 Palestinians for every Israeli killed. Israel has also caused significantly more property damage to civilian infrastructure.

    I would not want to live under Hamas control, certainly. But I also would not like to live next to Israel either.

    What statistic are you using to measure "worst" here?

  • That scrotum is just the current driver, but they're probably referring to some unnamed lobbying group that's been pushing for this for years. I'm not sure the identity of that group was ever revealed.

  • So did Albert Einstein's Canadian girlfriend

  • They live in the ocean, we don't.

  • The transphobic argument isn't that you'd be gay for dating someone who used to be a dude, in their view you're currently dating someone who still is a dude.

    These kinds of imaginary clapbacks are fun but usually end up fairly unconvincing to (transphobic) people.

  • Counterpoint: If there's anyone who doesn't promote Windows and actively dislikes it, it's Windows users.

  • You really won't short something, and wooden toothpicks are at risk of splintering and leaving more behind than getting out if you're not careful.

  • You generally won't be touching the contacts much, since most gunk like lint can just be scooped out. Just be a bit gentle and you'll be fine.

  • I used to think this too, but using a global time means the date also ticks over to the next day at odd moments during the day. So in the end it feels like timezones with extra confusion.

  • Right I get what you mean now. "File History" =/= "Previous Versions". But "Previous Versions" has been entirely replaced since Win8, so not entirely relevant.

    It's also completely unrelated to file deletions, because the VSS system both System Restore and Previous Versions use worked on the block-level, and as you already pointed out blocks aren't written to when a file is deleted, it either gets copied over to the recycle bin or just marked as deleted, but neither affect the block contents (VSS works on a CoW principle, blocks are backed up only if written to, but live performance is basically unaffected by this unless you're doing huge loads like big DB modifications or something.

  • What? File History is a completely different system. System Restore makes occasional restoration points and is enabled by default, File History needs to be set up to use it. It's disabled by default and Microsoft seems to be actively trying to hide it (try finding it in the Win11 settings screen; you won't find it there) so people use OneDrive to back their stuff up instead.

  • Sure, but neither is relevant to the recycle bin.
