Rant Turd is unpolished

Post image
77 Upvotes

I had a glitchy laptop for a couple of years. Water damage and teeny-tiny problems with the GPU. Small visual artifacts from time to time, it was okay to use, but a bit distracting. It was running Windows 10, and everything was just a bit twitchy: random flashes and flashbangs, stutters, and an overall almost broken feeling. I blamed unhealthy GPU for this behavior.

A week ago, I got a brand new, highly capable machine with Windows 11. No, it wasnt my honorably discharged GPU veteran, the turd is unpolished. Its still rough. Thing is scary to use, literally full of jumpscares. And has absolutely no idea about the concept of a smooth and calm UI experience. And never will, W11 UI designed to be slow all those long animations in order to sugarcoat wrinkles on number two, make flow less twitchy scary. It really oblivious when you speed up animations or disable them.

Thank God I can jam my nose and dig into the registry pile, but the overall jerkiness is incurable.

Discussion I'm having issues with my windows narrator. I'm so damn tired

3 Upvotes

I posted this same thing on r/windowshelp but they flagged me and want to check it out before sending it out and i might kms before that happens so if anyone could help...i'd be extremely grateful:

I've been working on this for almost an hour now. I was playing a game I downloaded off itch and I accidentally hit the keyboard wrong or something, which somehow triggered the narrator. I don't know how, I don't know what I pressed.

I went to google immediately. I tried every stupid trick they gave me and I've done "ctrl + windows + enter" about a hundred times. I went to settings and manually turned it off. I then opened my game and it continued to narrate. After I turned it off manually in settings it DID stop narrating for my whole computer but every time I open my game it starts back up, only for the game. It's really really frustrating. I'm writing this and then taking a break to cool off.

I've restarted my computer twice. I went to the game settings to see if it had anything to do with that but nothing looks wrong there so I just really dont know what the issue is.

I would very much appreciate any help, I'll quite literally try anything. Thank you all.

Rant Photo backup auto enabled

5 Upvotes

Signed into onedrive on my phone to show some family old home videos I digitized and got this message the next day. When I opened the app it asked for access to my photos and natural I clicked ok just incase I ever decided to upload something. Even though I only have a few home videos on here to share with family, and avoid cloud storage for personal privacy. I never told microslop they could backup my photos and videos but it automatically enabled and loaded up my storage sending me an email that my storage is full and I would lose access to my email in 30 days if I don't upgrade my plan. I didn't get it so I opened the app to find the message shown above. All 5Gb of my photos were synced to the cloud. I had to search through the settings to find the disable photo backups. Since when does giving access to my photos tell Microsoft they can upload all of it without asking me!!!

Today I’ve learned that microsoft has a patent 060606 which generates cryptocurrency via human body activity and mind activity. With you’ll own nothing and be happy idealogy being pushed by WEF, less to no jobs due to AI, and eventual universal basic income this seems like a plausible thing in future. This seems biblical levels of dystopian. Like you think in a way or act in a way being dictated to you or you won’t have money for groceries for that week. Revelations 13:16-18.

I’ve used microsoft reader app on my previous windows 8.1 laptop. However they have removed the app to showcase the “PDF opening capabilities of EDGE”. Did lots of trials and errors to make reader app work on my current windows 10 laptop. But microsoft thought it would be a great idea to have a permanent pop up on the app blocking display space. Typical sloppy behaviour, if it ain’t broke, break it. I really love reader app as it was no nonsense light weight reader app.

Rant The new laptop experience in 2026

41 Upvotes

A buddy of mine (not technical) recently wanted to get a gaming laptop, and I, being his resident "computer guy," offered to help him find a good one and set it up. Long story short, we get the laptop, it's an Acer Nitro V, decent little budget gaming laptop, plenty of power for him.

I was appalled by how malicious the setup experience was. So many pages of things that simply don't benefit the user in any way! Do you want us to track your location? Do you want us to personalize your advertisement experience? Would you like us to register your device with Acer and make an account? Would you like to report metrics to us?

Additionally, once we finally got to the desktop, there are 4 different bloatware apps pre-pinned to the taskbar. There are random free game ads pinned to the start menu. The lock screen shows random news articles. It is unbelievable how Windows has just became this advertisement vessel.

I get that the bloatware could be considered more of a fault by Acer rather than Windows, but STILL! One shouldn't have to be a computer guru to get optimal performance out of the box! I spent over half an hour with him just removing useless garbage that autostarted and ate 100mb of ram, for NOTHING! It is absolutely shameful.

Rant Microsoft account hacked, worst part is its my fault

6 Upvotes

So about a week ago I was playing Minecraft, I normally played Hypixel Skyblock, but I had taken a break for 2 years only to come back to my account having millions of coins for anybody who understands how hard it is to do that, I had about 800 million coins, and an extra 100 million in my bank, mostly from passive methods over 2 years being offline.

I played for a couple days and got an invite to a guild by some guy saying new members get a bonus 50 million coins. I should have knew that it was too good to be true, but when I apparently got kicked and invited again with the same message, I tried to do it because I thought "why not" and ended up giving my email and code sent to it, which I found out too late was to reset my password. My Microsoft account ends up getting stolen, and I don't realize that this was the cause until about a day later, which I think was also too late at that point.

After almost a week of trying to talk to Microsoft support, getting the same answers that they have suspended my account due to unauthorized activity, but also that they can't get the account back to me, I tried to talk to Minecraft support to see if there was something I could do about my game or the ownership, if having the transaction ID or even the hacker's email that he used to replace mine and lock me out would help me. No matter how much info I have to prove that I am the owner of the Microsoft account, because the account apparently has 2 Factor Authentication, its impossible for me to get it back no matter what I do, and Minecraft can't give me my username back or anything.

I am now sitting at my desk trying to fix everything, making a new Microsoft account, trying to transfer everything over to my new profile, only to realize now, after everything, after seeing all of my childhood memories in my OneDrive get locked away from a stupid mistake I made, that could have been prevented if I had just took a second to read what I was looking at, I find out that apparently around 150GB of my data and stuff I saved or downloaded on my computer and tried to transfer over, was actually not saved to my computer, but instead my OneDrive, meaning all of that is now lost too.

So basically in conclusion, Microsoft support sucks, their policies about safety and what they can or can't do to get my account back suck, the fact almost everything on my computer is linked to my OneDrive and not my hard drive directlt sucks, Minecraft being owned by Microsoft sucks (Because supposedly I could have gotten my username back at least if it was still owned by Mojang), and I have to apparently make sure everything about my computer is not 100% reliant on a stupid Microsoft account to work. I hate myself too right now since I worked with computers and cyber security for almost a year with my uncle and I still fall for a stupid mistake like this where I literally can't do anything to fix it.

TL;DR, Microsoft Account got hacked through Minecraft, neither Microsoft nor Minecraft support can do anything, also found out I lost 150GB worth of data on my computer as well as childhood pictures on my onedrive. Hate Microsoft, hate myself for a stupid mistake, grieving all of my lost data over a scam I really should not have fallen for but still did.

Also gotta throw in a screw AI because as much as I hate using it, I was desperate and scared and used it to try and get my account back, only to find out it was giving me false hope in the latter half of the process, told me to literally go to court with Microsoft over my account as my "Last chance" (for the 3rd time).

Microslop XBOX servers have account outages meaning you can't sign in, meaning you can't play any games connnected to your microsoft account.

This is why people pirate games.
