Call of Duty’s PC anti-cheat will require Secure Boot on Windows Activision is beginning to add support for the features in a “phased rollout.”

So, you're saying my perfectly good computer that doesn't support Secure Boot/TPM is considered obsolete, just because they wants to thwart cheaters with such requirements, as if kernel-level AC isn't enough?

Talk about planned obsolescence, eh?

No, all I done was taken a Windows 11 VM and upgraded to the latest insider build and well, that happened

A screenshot of the Windows 11 Start menu showing many entries of "A great app is on its way!".

A great app is on its way!
A great app is on its way!
A great app is on its way!

A screenshot of macOS Tahoe's share sheet, with the Edit Extensions button highlighted.

someone forgot to make the highlight more rounded to match the liquid glass ui thing in macOS Tahoe.

not complaining- just leavin' it here until it's fixed!

A screenshot of the Microsoft Store with an "unsupported browser" error inside the app.

how funny.

your microsoft store app is considered an outdated browser now.

A screenshot showing the contents of the Skype desktop app.

it's possible because the Skype desktop app is just a chromium wrapper.

decompiled it, replaced the sounds, recompiled it. In that order.

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.

A screenshot in Skype showing 3 of 8 in the call for 26 hours, 14 minutes, and 8 seconds.

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)

A screenshot showing Uncompress a Drive with two pie charts of used/free space on hard drive.

Wait.

Is this a good thing?

A screenshot showing the new Windows 11 Start menu design with many apps.

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.

A screenshot showing many opened windows from About Windows, to an image showing "Internet Information Services" and file explorer behind it.

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.

The reason why I want my original handle to redirect to my main account is that I can just share this link (technologicalbyte.bsky.social) without making a redirect on my domain, that being (technologicalbyte.com/bluesky).

A screenshot showing an error message on Bluesky's account signup saying "Reserved handle".

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.

this is pretty cool that there's now a 299 character limit for posts or whatever you call these things, i can't say tweet because this isnt twitter after all. anyways if you cannot tell, this post is exactly 299 characters long, if you want proof, copy this text from this post and see for yourself.

*million dollar question

(words are hard).

A screenshot of the new stop error screen as seen in the latest Windows 11 Beta.

An image of a stop error showing the emoticon and the letter Y on a green background.

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.

A screenshot showing a Group Policy popup for Carpoint showing details.

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.

A screenshot showing known issues. Microsoft Copilot is expanded to show details.

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"?

A screenshot of an error message displaying "The Host was unable to satisfy the VM's VMFeature graphics requirements."

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.

So, Windows 10 going off support in a few months and you hate Windows 11?

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is a right choice for you, not only you get longer support until 2032, but its the same Windows 10 you know and love without the useless crap. I've been using LTSB without needing a reinstall!

YouTube video by TechnologicalByte Running over 1,000 programs on windows 11.

A screenshot of the MSN window asking "Do you want undefined?" followed by many bullet options.

Yes. I want undefined.

Thank you, MSN on Windows XP.
