Windows 11 is such absolute garbage. Doing my bookkeeping tonight on the old Windows 7 box because I can't get Quickbooks to install on Windows 11 and the install of MS Money stopped working. Meanwhile there was some mixup with a bill so I paid it online instead of mailing a check. Went to file the PDF of the receipt and realized that none of the files that should be in the "Documents" folder are there. So I'm re-copying them from the Windows 7 box right now. The fucking idiotic OneDrive default and the default folders that you can't delete or even rename to something useful like "DO NOT USE THIS GARBAGE FOLDER". Everything is a rat's nest designed to be incomprehensible to humans and force you to pay Microsoft for storage when you've got a fucking terabyte hard drive. Why do I want my important files on a server in Washington or somewhere when they can just be on my computer so if the Internet is down it doesn't become a paperweight?

There was a German film, 20-25 years ago, about a guy who's gramma woke up from a coma and for whatever reason (I only saw the trailer, not the movie) they had to pretend the German reunification hadn't happened. So they had, like fake East German news on the TV, I forget what else. The point is, I'm on board with this. I wish someone could stage a charade to fool me that it was still the 1990s. Or at least before 2020.

You can deactivate a bunch of that shit, just so ya know.

Yeah, but you have to sort through the unintended consequences. They intentionally make it hard to deactivate shit. I think that's what happened with my files--when I killed OneDrive they went away.
So MS Solitaire: Turns out you can play it like regular MS Solitaire by turning off the Internet before you start it. It's a tedious pain in the ass but it works. But here's the kicker: It's started reminding me how much more fun it is to play it online. I'm missing out on all kinds of cool features like new card backs and intrusive ads to tell me that I can play without intrusive ads if I pay them money. So the pop-up window can't be ignored or closed, you must select an option: Do you want to go online now? Yes/Remind me later.
No. I don't want to go online. I don't want to be reminded later. I want you to go fuck yourself and die quietly of throat cancer.

So many people are talking about a recent update where Co-Pilot just takes over the entire computer, and inserts itself into all your apps, and its keyboard shortcuts replace crucial ones used in Office etc... I've been lucky so far, I either have my machines customized enough to avoid this, or I haven't done this particular update yet...

I figure she bones Billy at some point. I don't know if anyone has delved into this, but "All I want to do is have some fun before the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard," "...his thick fingers..." "I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life" and "...they're nothing like Billy and Me" all make me thing shenannigans happened in the bathroom or Billy's shiny Datsun or Sheryl's dive-y little studio apartment (Billy's car and Sheryl's home are not in the song, only in my brain).
