OC by @kippinitreal@lemmy.world

Copilot on teams Android keeps turning itself on. I looked through docs & found I was doing things correctly. So I opened it up out of frustration.

I know it means nothing, but I had to say (type?) it out loud. I have really come to hate Windows since 11 was forced on us at work.

Ironically, it’ll just ape back what you want to hear by being sympathetic towards my concerns, addressing nothing.

Don’t know who’s more pathetic, the chatbot or me 🥲

Did the "upgrade" to win11 last week, it's been quite horrible especially the windows explorer which hangs for 5s every time I open a folder 😮‍💨

I'm such a Linux man as everyone else here, but I haven't noticed any lagginess in windows Explorer after the upgrade. It's just the same, opens folders instantly.

Then it could be a specific case that causes the lags. I noticed that a complicated folder structure, maybe in combination with sharepoint links, are the worst. and the icons would take some time to load as well 😞. I'm even on a beefy and expensive company workstation laptop.

Sounds like it could have more to do with the network than with the explorer itself.

I don't use Windows anymore, but I understand if you have to. Recently I found this alternative to the windows explorer build from the ground up to be as efficient as possible https://filepilot.tech/ It's a cool project from a great programmer that has a presentation on the Better Software Conference showing how it works underneath. It uses older windows API functions that apparently are way faster than the modern alternatives.

Thanks for linking, this will be great the next time I deal with a Windows machine!

Hangs for 5s? I think you have bigger issues than windows friend

I hate MS as much as the next guy but my W11 install works lightning fast but I also have a gen 5 m.2 SSD
