Linux users: "See what we mean?"

Windows users: "La la la! I can't hear you! Losing my data is clearly better than having to learn something new!"

How's that vibe coding working out for ya?

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 57 points 5 days ago

Didn't they proudly say how much of windows is AI generated slop code a few months ago?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 26 points 5 days ago

I think it has more to do with the new atomic update and their now-usual not-testing aproach.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

It looks like finally after almost ten years they will complete the dark mode on windows. But some buttons will still be with the light theme, they ran out of ai credits and need to wait for next month to replenish the free tier

The reporter’s own “test” proves this is caused by faulty drives unable to sustain the speed they advertise, not Windows.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 29 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?

If I was a librarian and my card catalog started exploding, I would have a fit. Those are not easy to put together.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

Yeah but luckily by the mid 80s it was completely digitized and just there in the basement for reference.

WHY ARE YOU NOT UPDATING TO WIN ELEVEN? Hard to recommend this OS without QA.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

Your OS isn't getting regular updates!!!

This is a feature imo.

So you're saying I'll be safe from this if I stick with win 10 past October?

“We looked around and could not find other reports resembling such situations. The problem has been reported by a Japanese PC builder and enthusiast and some of the comments on the thread seem to indicate that others there may be experiencing similar issues. So it could be a region-specific thing too”

They're using Grok to translate?

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They probably used copilot to write the code. It compiled so they shipped it.

of file corruption when symptoms occurs" adds the report (Translated from Japanese by Grok AI).

Why would you use an LLM to translate text? There are tools made specifically for that

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 22 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Which are based on LLMs or other neural network models. It is kind of the thing that language models are actually good at.

See DeepL for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepL_Translator

The service uses a proprietary algorithm with convolutional neural networks (CNNs)[3] that have been trained with the Linguee database.[4][5]
According to the developers, the service uses a newer improved architecture of neural networks, which results in a more natural sound of translations than by competing services.
The translation is said to be generated using a supercomputer that reaches 5.1 petaflops and is operated in Iceland with hydropower.[6][7]
In general, CNNs are slightly more suitable for long coherent word sequences, but they have so far not been used by the competition because of their weaknesses compared to recurrent neural networks.
The weaknesses of DeepL are compensated for by supplemental techniques, some of which are publicly known.

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 14 points 5 days ago

Yeah I know they're based on LLMs, but they're more adapted to translation, right?

Butbutbutbut Linux is not ready for desktop! I asked a stupid question in an Arch forum and they told me to RTFM! It does not support kernel level anti-cheat! Terminals are scary!

Etc, etc.

[–] Dumhuvud@programming.dev 9 points 4 days ago

It does not support kernel level anti-cheat!

Huh, thought you were mentioning only the cons.

Is this an automatic update that I can stop ?

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 14 points 5 days ago

The company managed to resolve the issue later and has deployed a fix.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Bah, each time I want to do the manual upgrade from 23h2 I have to postpone it again due to some stupid bug or annoying feature that makes me reconsider doing it.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 days ago (22 children)

Yet again, I trot out this phrase, as a response to yet another massive Windows fuckup/scandal:

... People are still using Windows?
