    Fun fact: Apparently M$ laid off their QA team for Windows so if you’re wondering why updates break so much, that’s why.

      Makes sense. I had to trouble shoot my WiFi card for like an hour yesterday to get it to work after a Windows Update killed it for a bit.

      And when they laid off their QA team with the testing lab of thousands of unique computers, they replaced it with VMs and AI. Because VMs are a totally good way to troubleshoot very specific bugs. The AI part is used to supposedly figure out when you’re “idle” so what Windows can update.

      Imagine needing AI to update a computer lmao
