Fuck the NL's Yankees.

No programs were moved over, so whereas every other version of Windows would use generic icons for the program's desktop shortcuts, Windows 11 causes every icon on the desktop, in Windows Explorer windows, and in the PC Settings app, to cycle constantly between generic icons and their proper icons.

The only supported version of Windows is less ready for daily use than Windows Vista RC1.

After a reportedly successful migration, the Windows 11 desktop's icons are now blinking, cycling between generic icons and proper icons, like a VCR blinking 12:00.

Microsoft's answer was to delete %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db (migrated over) & force-restart Windows Explorer. It worked. For a few seconds.

softing Microfuck.

@mavica_again I want to say "the CPU was sleeping on the job" is something that would've sounded more like a ridiculous excuse than a valid and normalized reason 30 years ago.

Windows Backup will let you migrate from a win10 PC to a win11 PC, but only if your primary account on both are Microsoft accounts signed into the same OneDrive account.

Dell SupportAssist will let you migrate without a Microsoft account if both PCs are Dells, but it will automatically nuke the old PC's data before you have a chance to verify the migration's success.

Why does Microsoft not have a PC migration tool even half as good as Windows XP's Files and Settings Transfer Wizard anymore?

Three hours until the spookiest World Series game.

Well, Yamamoto might make the final tally 4 games to 3. Or the Jays' entire lineup finally shake him up like they've done the rest of the Dodgers' pitchers. We'll see.

The difference between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays:

The Dodgers are a team of great players.

The Blue Jays are a great team of players.

This #WorldSeries is going to end with the team representing another country again winning 4 games to 2. #MLB

TLDR: KDE quit Twitter & refuse to go back because it became a brand "X" nazi bar & huge liability to KDE's community.

Hypothesis: Copilot told a vibe-coding employee to FORMAT C: /Y on the Azure servers and convinced the poor sod's vibe-working manager to sign off on it.
