ok microsoft, which one should I get?

Ah, that's a gem.

Apparently running disk defrag on Millennium tends to be very buggy at times.

this issue was patched at the cost of doing some system modifications, who would've thought!

So Windows Me is 25 years old today huh?

Too bad I haven't experienced Millennium Edition myself (as my first OS I used was 2000 and moved to XP years later), this should be a great excuse to finally work on a Windows Me related video instead of it sitting on the backburner for months.

how funny.

your microsoft store app is considered an outdated browser now.
May 20, 2025 at 4:43 PM
it's possible because the Skype desktop app is just a chromium wrapper.

decompiled it, replaced the sounds, recompiled it. In that order.
May 11, 2025 at 3:38 PM
ok since i'm talking about Skype so much, here's another thing I did to pass the time.

replaced the new sounds with the old ones that I am very used to hearing, rather than the new ones that is also used in Teams for some reason.

microsoft: say goodbye to skype on may 5th

us: in a skype group vc for over 24 hours- oh hello may 6th!

(maybe not for long though)

Wait.

Is this a good thing?

Been testing out the new Start menu design for Windows 11, which in my opinion, it's a much better Start and this should've been the design when Windows 11 came out, oh well.

More details coming soon to my blog.

It's pretty remarkable that the default Microsoft IIS image is still the same as seen in Windows 8.

Now, will Microsoft update it to match Windows 11's design language? Probably not.

I'll be shocked if they do updating it.

Here's a little fun fact about my account!

I originally had a second account (@technologicalbyte.bsky.social) which was intended to prevent impersonations, but thanks to an update, I was able to delete that account and reserve the original handle!

Just wish for the original to be redirected here.

Heard Microsoft revamping the stop error screen (BSOD) in the latest Windows 11 beta build.

Now, the million question, will it fix this weird artifacts both 10/11 experiences, like corrupted letters, burn-ins, etc?

or like what happened to me years back. Just got Y, just Y.

Ah yes, CarPoint. A thing that doesn't exist anymore.

CarPoint was part of MSN where people could buy cars from Microsoft.

Still here and probably will continue to exist for decades.

Awesome cumulative update for Windows 11, Microsoft. An update that uninstalls Copilot? Yes, please!

How much would I bet someone did this intentionally and wasn't a "bug"?
March 16, 2025 at 3:56 PM
is it just me or did vmware workstation got buggier after broadcom acquired it

have no idea what this mean, did searching around to find no results online.
March 12, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Yes. I want undefined.

Thank you, MSN on Windows XP.
