    Fun fact: Apparently M$ laid off their QA team for Windows so if you’re wondering why updates break so much, that’s why.

      And when they laid off their QA team with the testing lab of thousands of unique computers, they replaced it with VMs and AI. Because VMs are a totally good way to troubleshoot very specific bugs. The AI part is used to supposedly figure out when you’re “idle” so what Windows can update.

      Imagine needing AI to update a computer lmao
