@@nadtz that's debatable, it's got all the hallmarks of modern tv slop.

Just once again like every other show turn your brain off and consoom. And also, the whole lore thing is not why I wanted to watch the show, I just wanted to see an adaptation that the show would have benefited from, but now I realize anything like this would only have worked in the 90's when those kinda shows were way more popular (star trek, star gate, etc.) rather than now where it's not about the characters and their plot but something so inane and time wasting. Why bother attatching a fake leg that doesn't work? Why does the automated turret miss every shot? Why are characters finding each other so easily? Why is there only 1 mention of this magical dog factory that does something? Why do ghouls need magical piss drink to live? God damn such a bullsh-t show. The ghoul is the only good thing from the show but even that's only because he's a ghoul.

What am I missing? Is it even possible to use them without the OEM dongle which is pre-paired to the keyboard/mouse?

For the game engine Unreal Engine 5 that would be the best way for Microsoft to have it done still though it would be a build setting difference from playstation, switch, pc, andriod and iPhone. Yes unreal can make for all platforms. So you could say a less optimized version could run on xbox and windows with 0 changes as the xbox chip is still a custom chip not standard x86. Some extra instructions taking out some that are redundant with others. For example comparing the Intel Ultra 100 chips to the Intel 13th gen chips. They added in something but also took away a lot that is just redundant but that will break programs with explicit programming for L1 instructions so 1980s and 1990s programming before APIs were used. This relates to the xbox as how the xbox handles data is it has a custom set that includes most of x86 like the Ultra 100 but the xbox and playstation chips also have custom instructions for their chip that will not work without a translation layer on the generic x86 chip alike to trying to run NPU code for the Ultra 100 on the 13th gen CPU. it will just crash the program if it is coded properly or crash the system if not. They could make a setting to make a game not use the special instructions on the xbox so to work on both pc and xbox but then it will run slower on both x86 pc and on the consoles. The reason why is the instructions are in L1 to make it go quicker so remove use of them and takes longer. In reality maybe a frame or 2 slower during an action scene but if a frame or 2 is enough to bring it under a consistent 30 fps then it is needed.

XP solved those problems by going "NT" and worked OK (mostly), Vista brought in new features that didn't work on most new computers of the time, 7 fixed Vista, 8 was as bad as Vista but this time it was designed for the predicted downfall of the PC and its replacement by tablets, 8.1 was basically a Service Pack that fixed most of 8's most egregious problems when non-Apple tablets didn't take up Win 8 and PC users basically revolted against it.

This time it is Microsuck. Porting the Windows OS over to a new hardware instruction set is not that hard. However I think they will quickly discover it will also be a major financial blunder. Why? Because though there will be a few idiots buying these new ARM powered laptops they will quickly discover that none of their software that they own will run on these new laptops. The reality is there are billions of dollars of software that will only run on X86-64 PC's.

@@nadtz it not messing with the lore. Im a huge fallout fan and see its truly a masterpiece.
@@txe1nd The changes weren't as huge as something like Star Wars or The Boys but it does mess with some things and change others. Since I'm more of a fan of the games up to NV it didn't bother me much but fallout NV/4 fans haven't loved some of the changes.
@@nadtz that's debatable, it's got all the hallmarks of modern tv slop. I stopped after ep 3 realizing it's only going to get worse and worse and for everyone praising it I guess there's no decorum of thought needed. Just once again like every other show turn your brain off and consoom. And also, the whole lore thing is not why I wanted to watch the show, I just wanted to see an adaptation that the show would have benefited from, but now I realize anything like this would only have worked in the 90's when those kinda shows were way more popular (star trek, star gate, etc.) rather than now where it's not about the characters and their plot but something so inane and time wasting. Why bother attatching a fake leg that doesn't work? Why does the automated turret miss every shot? Why are characters finding each other so easily? Why is there only 1 mention of this magical dog factory that does something? Why do ghouls need magical piss drink to live? God damn such a bullsh-t show. The ghoul is the only good thing from the show but even that's only because he's a ghoul.
The death of Windows phone killed windows for me sadly. I just use windows in the form of Xbox for gaming. I miss the ballmer days 😭
That's too bad. Windows and the post-Ballmer era are both much better than anything in the past.
@@phbranding8530 that's great for you 😇
You're not alone. I loved Windows Phone, and ever since Ballmer left, it feels like Microsoft doesn't care about Windows anymore and is just relegating it to some legacy enterprise product that's never going to be useful to consumers, while they focus on cloud and Office.
@@jeremyandrews3292 yep. That’s why when it comes to hardware and operating systems I moved to Apple.. I still use Microsoft apps and have an Xbox but that’s it.

I enjoy watching your videos at 11:59pm 😅
6 am for me
PC's were extremely expensive back in the day and consoles were a fraction of the price. That divide has narrowed recently. Now you can build a decent gaming PC on the cheap.
I honestly am not concerned that much... am much of a consumer type of a person
Windows should fragment down to a bare OS with no ads, AI, telemetry, etc . Let people choose what they want to install. Oh wait, just use Linux.
I am not using command line to make basic functionality work
@@kipkipper-lg9vl What do you need a command line for?
@@AlmondCheese for instance if my audio just decides to not work, which is a common thing your probably going to be using the command line to try fix that
@@kipkipper-lg9vl you don't have to use the cmdline if you don't want to. I run PopOS on my gaming laptop and all hardware is compatible. No issues. Windows is only going to get worse with your privacy and data. Why do you need an external account to use an OS on Your device? I know you can get around that but MS bugs you sporadically with prompts. I say no. I've used Linux for years now and can do anything I need to get done. I'm very close to deleting my Google account as well. GrapheneOS will be on my phone shortly. Privacy should matter and most people are giving it up.
@@rovearoundx depending on how windows handles 11 in the coming months i may just do it, it's not like i'm against command line in principle but i have always had endless horror stories that have always put me off, and after all im just playing video games, i get no joy from OS fondling
I'll be keeping my local account on my Windows 10 machines until they become Linux machines. Sadly my old laptop will eventually become an always-offline Windows 10 computer as I need it for some specialized software for older hardware (offline stuff)
Ever heard of virtual machines, kid? It's 2024 you don't have to pick a single OS to use anymore.
This will be the same for me. When Windows 10 is no longer supported, I am putting Linux with a Windows 7 VM onto this machine.
MS doesn't want us using local accounts? TOO BAD! MS doesn't like it, I have a wrinkly old butt they can kiss. Definitely once MSW10 is no longer supported, my brother's machines, my wife's machines, all will become Linux machines (I had wanted to do that for MSWin10, but didn't have the setups working for that yet. I've been preparing ever since then, and Fedora with Cinnamon Desktop will take it's place. The only disadvantage with Cinnamon is that the GNOME Project has intentionally broken GTK for everyone else (GNOME being run by a bunch of MS Fanboys, they take on the same arrogant user-hostile attitude)
Personal Computer and Gaming Console has already merged together. Steam Deck. A Linux powered PC with console like easy navigate UI running Windows games. Valve has now saved twice gaming...
I got Windows Extended Limited Home Professional
So just how much of the useless, unwanted CRAP in MSWin11 can actually be removed or disabled.
Just get Linux. Windows era is over
I suspect most of it can be removed but you're gonna have to dive deep into services and registry editor.
Our man Brad is inventing words. We're so proud. 😉 Good vid
Yeah! More of that please! Wordsmith BS!
Happy Friday B-Rad, Im pretty happy with where Windows 11 is these days...not sure what this will mean but I look forward to a version that scraps legacy code base support and battens down the hatches
Switched to Linux and MacOS, never coming back
I’m thinking of putting Linux on my gen i7 pc do all my daily computer and internet stuff on that and just use my gen 11 for a games console mainly lol sad we do not own our own stuff all of a sudden but Linux is the master key to freedom it’s the only way to go
@@wutang6020 you'll quickly realise Linux is perfectly fine for most games
@@wutang6020 MacOS just as bad, just try using the dropped support for? I still rememt 6.5 verion day, you could still, run very stripped down install options, on there first or second model apple mac 250k - 500k, model, and you getting something of work OS,
Windows is more like comfort to me.
Forcing AI in things would just make people drive away further. I'm on Windows 10, but have no plans to upgrade to 11.
Xploder has been an issue with every version of windows.
Windows 11 on AMD 7950x is damn near instantaneous. There is no lag anywhere.
Why do you need such a chip?
@@mycelia_ow he's wasting a good chip on a restrictive OS
That argument's been used since computers began. It's true with almost everything, poor enough money into something and it will work great...
Vidya games
I'm getting That one and i'm not using it on windows
Thanks for an interesting video, but I hope you can relax a little in your future videos.
So I have a question forgive my ignorance. So I would rather switch to Linux of something else rather than windows so my question is If I put Linux on my main PC can I then set up a virtual machine to run windows 10 to simply play all my games on that one machine? In theory shouldn’t or couldn’t that work?
Linux is one of those things where if you gotta ask???.... Just know there is a learning curve. Things are simple on windows... things work apps are plentiful. Everyone wants to run linux but use Microsoft software. Whats the point of linux then? Especially if you aren't familiar with the command line FUGET ABOUT IT.
At this point there is no accident regarding Microsoft. Everything they do is on purpose. But in one thing we can trust Microsoft and that is when they said Windows 10 will be last version of windows. It probably is for many people.
It's a "happy' wallpaper.
Time stamps? 🤘
@ xbox achievements and steam: it's easy: just ask steam permission to access their entire achievement API and just allow a direct 1:1 conversion between steam achievements and xbox achievements, and just say (steam) at the end of any achievements from a steam purchase or whatever. it's not hard.
The NSA version and CIA version?! Will MI5 get one?!
I'm stopping with W10. I'll harden it and stay there. I'll also consider exploring Linux for the future maybe...
Yea, Win11 is a line in the sand I will not cross and I'm holding at 10. I've been waiting for the next SteamOS build (VALVe) but I'm now looking at Mint-Cinnamon as a jumping-on point. Ubuntu distro? Debian? My son is is an Arch user and has installed most of the distros out there like changing his socks, even Pop! for some reason, but I wonder if you have any ideas? What matters most is the Wine emulator and how it will run MS-Office 2010....I'm still slave to that crap because I write books and I'm intimately aware of how to format for Print On Demand and that anchor around my neck is something I cannot do without. Again, suggestions? .....Anyone? .......All ears here!
@@hdgehog6I mean. You could try a dual Boot
Funny I just got a new work PC after returning my old tower to the office for recycling. It didnt take me long to realize I forgot to remove the Microsoft Scupt Ergonomic Keyboard/Mouse Dongle. I thought, oh well no big deal. I'll just buy the dongle online. Wow, that literally is impossible. I'd have to buy a $300 open box complete package just to get the dongle from ebay? What the hell Microsoft? On eBay there are dozens of OEM Ergonomic desktops for sale but they literally ALL don't have the dongle as part of the sale. People are still buying them for $75-100. What am I missing? Is it even possible to use them without the OEM dongle which is pre-paired to the keyboard/mouse?
I don't know anything about MS dongles, I always used MS wired keyboards and Logitech mice, I've an old Logitech dongle that can be paired using a button with *some* newer Logitech mice (and keyboards I guess) that already came pre-paired to a fixed dongle. I don't know if those were made before they started using Unify receivers or if they had some models with fixed dongles and others compatible with Unify receivers.
@@ruben_balea thanks for the note. I learned about unify recently but those devices don't seem to support unify. I couldn't get the app to detect them and they don't have the unify logo anywhere sadly.
man. i miss the Harmony wallpaper 😥.
Harmony is the name of the Windows 10 wallpaper
For the game engine Unreal Engine 5 that would be the best way for Microsoft to have it done still though it would be a build setting difference from playstation, switch, pc, andriod and iPhone. Yes unreal can make for all platforms. So you could say a less optimized version could run on xbox and windows with 0 changes as the xbox chip is still a custom chip not standard x86. Some extra instructions taking out some that are redundant with others. For example comparing the Intel Ultra 100 chips to the Intel 13th gen chips. They added in something but also took away a lot that is just redundant but that will break programs with explicit programming for L1 instructions so 1980s and 1990s programming before APIs were used. This relates to the xbox as how the xbox handles data is it has a custom set that includes most of x86 like the Ultra 100 but the xbox and playstation chips also have custom instructions for their chip that will not work without a translation layer on the generic x86 chip alike to trying to run NPU code for the Ultra 100 on the 13th gen CPU. it will just crash the program if it is coded properly or crash the system if not. They could make a setting to make a game not use the special instructions on the xbox so to work on both pc and xbox but then it will run slower on both x86 pc and on the consoles. The reason why is the instructions are in L1 to make it go quicker so remove use of them and takes longer. In reality maybe a frame or 2 slower during an action scene but if a frame or 2 is enough to bring it under a consistent 30 fps then it is needed.
Windows IoT is the answer. With 10 years of security updates what's not to like?
As a non windows user, i must say this is entertaining to watch
I stick with Windows 10 desktop and Linux in Steam deck for my primary oses(with other oses such as pre-windows 7 Microsoft windows and other linux distros in virtual machines) Windows 11 use of AI make it bloated mess
Better yet they should focus on Azure and AI and open source windows.
-wintel- windragon will take laptop market by the storm
Just switch to Linux and feel the powah! 💪
I might try it if you can ever run DCS World on it :)
Went back to win 10 cuz they removed the ability to disable fast startup making dualbooting a pain in the ass again.
Xbox could have multiple stores that sell Xbox game packages, not necessarily that it can play pc games.
Nvidia and AMD both have ARM cpu designs in the pipeline for desktops. Leaving Intel out, no plans yet. AMD has already made ARM cpus for special use cases like satellites and servers. Nvidia as well has ARM cpus for servers. Apple has been using ARM cpus for almost 10yrs now.
Guess I want to stick with Intel/AMD. Good to know
If Windows was a TV show, it jumped the shark with Windows 8, tried to get back on track with Windows 10, then went off the rails again with Windows 11.
Every other version of windows is descent. They then try to do something stupid on the next version, and then realize that was stupid, and try to fix it again in the following version.
@@JHartModelworks It was always like that, at least since 95 (which was buggy) replaced 3.1, which worked well but, like all early Windows versions, had very limited features compared to AppleOS at the time. Win 98SE fixed problems that 95 and 98FE had, ME fixed what wasn't broken and threw in a load of new bugs, stretching the 9x DOS-based system far beyond its limits and pushing users towards NT/2000. XP solved those problems by going "NT" and worked OK (mostly), Vista brought in new features that didn't work on most new computers of the time, 7 fixed Vista, 8 was as bad as Vista but this time it was designed for the predicted downfall of the PC and its replacement by tablets, 8.1 was basically a Service Pack that fixed most of 8's most egregious problems when non-Apple tablets didn't take up Win 8 and PC users basically revolted against it. Win 10 fixed those problems that remained in 8.1, 11 threw in a lot of new bugs and problems that will hopefully be solved with 12- and so on, for ever and ever, Amen.
14:30 It's one of those things where I think in the next couple of generations consoles may not exist anymore because so many people now the game more on PC now, especially gaming PCor their smartphones cuz smartphone games especially the Japanese ones and Korean ones are super popular and I think the only console left in the future will probably be Nintendo because they're not trying to compete against PlayStation or Microsoft. They're doing their own things separate from them
yeah im making the move to linux. microsoft has gone insane.
AI can be bias depending on the user or developers. & many platforms stop being user friendly over time. and lack of competitors brought on a lot of greed.💩
who knows how data brokers get our information!?

This is not the first time someone tried to kill of the X86 and X86-64 instruction set. Intel tried it at least once and they quickly discovered that it was a major blunder that no one bought. This time it is Microsuck. Porting the Windows OS over to a new hardware instruction set is not that hard. However I think they will quickly discover it will also be a major financial blunder. Why? Because though there will be a few idiots buying these new ARM powered laptops they will quickly discover that none of their software that they own will run on these new laptops. The reality is there are billions of dollars of software that will only run on X86-64 PC's.
Windows already emulates x86-64 on ARM devices so ARM laptops can be good enough for many users.
Ok Kermy.
Osubly - Noun, While possible, not occurrent... or something I don't know it's made up.
Oh, what fresh, new Hell from Microshaft...??? I installed Linux last night.
lol. Windows has been fragmented for decades.
Mint and Zorin are two beginner-friendly Linux distros that don't need the command line to install or use (though it is there). Both can look more like Windows than Windows! I use both on my old laptops and will stop using Win 10 at end-of-life in 2025. Free, no ads, free upgrades, works on older hardware. What's not to like?
No command line in linux?? Lies...
Moved from Windows 11 to Linux 3 months ago now, looks like I chose the most perfect time to make the switch over lol
xbox as a pc you are missing info consoles have shared resources pc's don't have shared resources what this means the cpu/gpu/ram is combined on a console for the pc they are separated however there are plans on making it possible for pc's to be also able to do this if you put a pc game on a xbox it basically goes like wtf is a gpu what is a processor what is ram? wait wait i have to send this to this how? i never learned how to do these things you are requesting file explorer is currently in a broken state on windows 11 i mean it works but behind the scenes it is shitting bricks litteraly icons turn pixelated then black on alot of people's pc's and microsoft is aware of it and the update is currently in the beta channel to fix file explorer i am currently using onecommander to solve the problem when the icons turn black they stay normal in onecommander even while i am using the iconcache and thumbnail cache of the file explorer which should indicate you enough that it is the file explorer that is faulty as the icons are intact
halo tv series is still horrible in 2nd season.

The Xbox games doing well on PlayStation is great for Microsoft the third party publisher but not so great for Xbox the hardware or Xbox fans.
Microsoft isn't concerned as much with where you play the games, just that you play them. For gamers, this is a great thing.
