Windows 11: Microsoft’s ongoing mission of supremely fucking with PC users

Windows 11

A new ghost roams the technology world since June 24 2021, the date Microsoft introduced its new operating system known as Windows 11. In that fateful day, the Redmond corporation substantiated the rumors of the previous weeks by confirming that no, Windows 10 will not be the last version of Windows to arrive on the market. Unfortunately for the vast majority of people using the PC or other devices in a completely personal way, with Windows 11 Microsoft has decided to push the accelerator on the worst market trends of recent years with an aborted operating system distinctly prone to be a pain in the ass since day one.

WD My Book Live HDD remotely wiped and the wonders of cloud

A month has passed since the last, resounding incident caused by the utter unreliability of cloud computing, a case involving the users of a well known brand of remotely accessible, Internet-connected storage devices. Right on time like the constant disconnection of my damn home VDSL2, in this case too the cloud caused damages, left victims and provided another proof of the fact that Internet servers are the most unstable, unreliable and essentially useless thing that ever existed in the history of information technology. A threat which however is easy to fend off, with a bit of willingness and by actively using the brain.

After the first announcement at the beginning of the year, the Vicarious Visions (VV) team has continued its development work on Diablo II: Resurrected.

Almost a year after the last post on the topic, the business fight between the ninth generation consoles has finally become a reality. Sony and Microsoft have put their next-gen gaming machines on the market, but today’s market is something completely different compared to just a couple years ago. The current situation couldn’t be more novel, chaotic and in some ways disturbing, with many unknowns affecting the chance for users to purchase their new console. The ninth generation console war will bring significant surprises, but a trend seems to emerge just at the beginning of the sales fight: Sony has already gained a remarkable lead over the competition.

Diablo II, it’s the end of the endgame for Paladin Abellion

After almost two years of wiping out the demons of Hell and hunting the Prime Evils in the free time between dungeons, Paladin Abellion has finally reached what I consider his ultimate stage of development. It was just a matter of time, as I had set myself the goal of “maximizing” the Diablo II experience after years (decades? Yes, decades) of building off-line characters that were very personal but not very effective in facing the most difficult challenges of Blizzard North‘s ARPG masterpiece. Considering the results, and above all the fact that trying to further level up has become far too frustrating to be considered still a “video game”, during the past months I decided to put an end to the adventures of the first “important” character developed after reinstalling Diablo II on my new gaming laptop.

Microsoft fixes the drive-corrupting bug. Windows has now 10 more bugs

Windows 10 is an operating system that’s unable to offer security even for the most fundamental stuff like storage drives management, and a simple input from the command line is enough to unleash chaos. Microsoft, which frankly doesn’t give a shit about Windows and its users anymore except as potential buyers of one of the company’s cloud subscriptions, didn’t rush things at all and just now they have finally solved the aforementioned issue with NTFS drives. Monthly updates for Windows 10 have however followed the same script for years: for a bug that gets fixed, new ones are always showing up that can, if possible, make the OS even more unstable and unusable than before.
