By changing two settings in Windows, you can fix the worst of it.

Using a local group policy, you can change when "Preview builds and Feature updates" and "Quality Updates" become available in Windows Update.

By delaying those with 30 or 60 days, you will never have preview updates applied to your system, and feature and quality updates will have at least 1 or 2 months' worth of fixes before you get them.

start > run > gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Update >

1) Enable "Select when preview builds and feature updates are received". Set days to 60

2) Enable "Select when quality updates are received". Set days to 30 (max value)

I don't know if you realize it but your post single-handedly demonstrates a lot of the reasons why Windows is bad ...

the same goes for Brave, ios

you could show a "we don't track" banner

i don't get. yes, if you just prompt it "make me an app" you learn nothing but you probably also end up with an app that is crap as best.

I you instead "promote" yourself to architect or lead dev and you steer the ai as it it a team of junior dev you must manage you can learn a lot. not only will you have deep architecture discussion with ai where you, together, explore various approaches and ways to do things.

an if you do spec driven ai development where you write the specs you will end up with an app that resemble the way you prefer apps to be written.

Just because ai can cook something up in no time doesn't exclude you from being involved.

waiting for the data export to complete and then there will be one more.

There must be a special place reserved for Mark Zuckerberg in hell

As a Windows user who had several MS Surface tablets I fully agree that the form factor would make it a very suitable on-the-go device.

yes, that is what it is. Nothing more, nothing less IMHO

I like that it default to view or more precisely a WYSIWYG experience. I wish vs code did the same. I am just no sure that notepad is the right tool for this. It serves as such a important tool to stripping formatting and working with plain text. We are not far away from loosing 30 years of that trust. One little bug away. They should have used wordpad for this.
