They are just being clear and accurate with their comms. No need to over think it.

I can’t tell if you’re being downvoted by dorks who don’t realise you’re joking or by dorks who DO realise you’re joking and feel attacked. Either way, sad, silly down voters.

“Every woman I meet is crazy” says person who works at a women’s mental hospital.

The OP is re-tooting a toot of a screenshot of a tweet. My (mild) criticism isn’t aimed at OP, nor the OP of the OP, just the original Twitter OP. No one was “blasted” but even if they were, the Twitter OP is not likely to see my comments and have a bad case of the sads from it.

It wouldn’t have been installed at all if the OP did their job properly and had set the one config option. Microsoft doing shady things is hardly news. That’s why a good Windows sysadmin keeps and eye out for this sort of stuff.

Like I said, Microsoft shouldn’t do that crap. BUT the co-pilot setting has been around for 6 months. Long enough for any halfway decent sysadmin.

There is one GPO to disable co-pilot. One. It’s not even hard to find and has been available for more than 6 months.

And yes I would absolutely expect someone whose job it is to manage Windows servers to know about it. And certainly, I would expect them to look it up before declaring to the world how bad at their job they are.

This stuff always makes me laugh. Firstly, yes absolutely, Microsoft shouldn’t do this sort of crap. But more importantly, the person complaining about it here is shouting out for the world to hear “I don’t know how to manage Windows servers properly!”. There is one single group policy setting that stops this from happening. A single, set-and-forget GPO. Anyone managing Windows environments that isn’t aware of this, shouldn’t be managing Windows environments.

I’m in the southern hemisphere. The entire planet earth was in my way. :-)

I had an entire planet in my way, didn’t see a damn thing.

A 12m stainless steel pedestrian bridge that took 6 years to make and was subsequently “strengthened” to meet safety requirements. Not quite the same thing.

The whole thing is a storm in a teacup. I’m level 40 in the game and have not once felt the need to even LOOK at the MTX store. The game is complete; the MTX are there if you’re too lazy to be bothered using the in-game travel mechanics. Simple as that.

The stories in most Nintendo games are weak and mostly pointless. I loved BOTW but strrrrrrrruggled to enjoy TOTK. It just felt too gimmicky. And I adore RDR2, story and gameplay.

If good quality game help doesn’t get used much why on earth would low quality game help jammed full of “funny” advice and memes be better?

In Australia the checkout person does the bagging themselves, no second person required.

The Deck wouldn’t have enough power to do VR surely.

Lesson learned by game execs: all games from today onwards should be extraction shooters, always and forever, even when it makes no sense and will objectively and obviously make the game worse.

Fair enough. My comment genuinely wasn’t anti-Sony snark, I just find it annoying. Often I think, oh I like the look of this game but it would probably be better with a mouse and keyboard, I wonder if it’s coming to PC? And of course Sony never say so I have to look it up. Same with the PSVR2 games.

Nintendo is the only company that can truly get away with it since their games never come out for any other platform. And that’s annoying in its own special way.

Ha really! I haven’t seen them do it, probably because there aren’t many Xbox releases I’ve been interested in.

Sony really do go out of their way to ever suggest games are coming out on other platforms. Most are coming to PC and Xbox but you’d never know it from these videos. “Being developed for PS5” is the weirdest example.
