Love to pay Microsoft $9/month for cloud file storage when I already have 1TB from o365

I can't wait to sign up for a monthly Microsoft Paint cloud subscription to unlock the eraser tool

kind of doubt that is the pay structure it'll have, it is a screenshot of the clipchamp website which hasn't been changed since microsoft bought them a couple of months back.

The way they worded it made it sound like it was being installed on new installations of Windows 11 now but I guess maybe they just meant that it is decided that it will be in the future so yeah hopefully they'll change that and either stop the stupid limitations of the free version or include it with o365 or something.

I believe this is true and microsoft accounts are going to be mandatory now so it will essentially be impossible to not have a password.

It's a screenshot of what you see when you click the Upgrade button (which you need to do if you want to export a video higher than 480p). In the app. It was installed to my Win11 system, which is not in the Insiders branch.

I plugged a samsung phone into my windows pc today to grab a picture or something and this immediately happened

event log says windows itself downloaded the driver responsible for this garbage as soon as the device connected

nice operating system good job

I will actually pay MS $500 for a license of Windows called 'gently caress Off' edition, where it's just Pro and has removed all the ads, MS account requirements, and ships without the Windows Store.

Didn't the weather thing get removed in Windows 11?

I actually missed it so I used ExplorerPatcher to both bring it back and replace it with Accuweather lmbo

e: I still like WSA and WSL a fair bit, it's worth the hassle, plus there's gaming
