Huh? The service was covered and I love the laptop.

Lol. I’m just lazy.

And I love any excuse to buy something new and shiny

I tried shitting it off and restarting and all that to no avail. I think it has something to do with the Cortana feature. Whatever the hell that is.

Microsoft’s version of Siri or Alexa.

Interesting. This is actually a big problem affecting a lot of people today. Just saw this headline…

In part:

Updated Microsoft doesn’t do things by halves. Not content with Teams taking the day off and Outlook labeling everything as spam, now Windows 10 Search has joined the cock-up club.

The problem manifests itself by flinging up a large black box where search results should be on the Windows 10 desktop. Multiple flavours of Windows 10 are affected, and PCs at Vulture Central have also suddenly caught the search sickness.

We’re guessing queries are piped to Bing, which isn’t responding for some reason, causing all results to not show up on desktops. In which case, we have to wonder, why is it necessary for Windows 10 to send local queries to Microsoft’s backend, and why is it programmed in such a way that network failures blow away all results?

Incredibly, it seems Windows 10 Search and other services were knocked offline by infrastructure falling over, preventing search results from showing up on desktops.

In a note to customers, Microsoft blamed a “third-party networking fiber provider,” that “experienced a network disruption resulting in impact,” adding: “We’re reviewing our network redundancy options to find ways to prevent this problem from happening again.”

You will need to reboot your PC once, twice, or thrice to pick up the connectivity changes, if you were affected by today’s outage.

Lmao oh man, let us know. They look…, different.

Driving home this morning down a 2 lane (each way) road. Guy in a big pickup truck riding my ass. Car in front of me so its not like I can go anywhere. We clear the line of cars in the other lane and the truck guy slams into the other lane, zooms around me and the car in front of me and slams back into our lane cutting off the car in front of me enough that they had to brake.

Truck hauls ass after that. We are in a long straightaway so we can see for awhile. The truck is like a mile ahead still burning rubber and a car pulls out of a parking lot behind the truck.

Blue lights.

Lol.

Karma.
