I'm guessing OP wants to setup a VM on a mac or something similar for commercial use, otherwise there is no reason in the world to care about the windows EULA, which probably forbids right-clicking the desktop

laserghost posted:I love how moving text between Teams and any other MS application (or Teams' own Word/Excel/web view) fucks up the formatting in new and exciting ways. It's great to hunt for one lone line formatted with SegoeUI (?) font amid dozens of Calibri ones, sometimes it's easier because it shows up also as light blue on dark mode in Outlook and nobody has any clue why is that happening I’ve always used notepad as a buffer when pasting in to/out of/between office apps fucks up the formatting.

windows update has a little green leaf icon to show that it helps the environment by doing updates at off-peak hours. meanwhile, everything you do on the computer is being siphoned off and run through an array of nvidia cards in a datacenter somewhere

The most common outcome is that when I ask it "how would you accomplish x with y library?", it generates some reasonable looking code that uses APIs that look great and solves my problem perfectly.

Sapozhnik posted:does anybody ever actually use the context menu key I got a lot of use out of it years and years ago when I was using notepad++ (lol) to build webpages, before I learned vim and before vscode existed. it was also good for heavy data entry in excel when I didn't want to take my hands off the keyboard. I don't think apps in general make as much use of right-click as they did like 15 years ago, and there will usually be a keyboard shortcut or at least a button for everything you can do. I haven't used a keyboard with that button for years now, kind of forgot it existed

I just reinstalled windows10. you have to resort to a registry edit to get rid of the bing start menu ads because the setting for it is gone from the UI and the group policies don't work any more
