Windows 11 is here. Anyone taking the plunge yet?
- Thread starter DarkAudit
- Start date
Features in Windows 11 not working due to expired certificate... A brand-new OS and a Cert is already expired....
I've got all night, so I just hit the install button on the desktop. Sorry, @GasBandit.
What I'm finding out is something carried over from Windows 10. Although the basic Windows UI and 4K streams like YouTube work fine, my RX 580 paired with the TCL TV *really* doesn't like that combination. The card wasn't truly meant for 4K use, after all.
EDIT: That may have been a marginal HDMI cable. Swapped it for another one, and the flickering and static has abated. Plus, I'm gradually getting a grip on the scaling weirdness with Sims 4.

The EU is going to see this as a massive GDPR violation. I'm not sure what the data protection laws are like in the US, but even if this somehow doesn't violate them big business is not going to want MS screenshotting their proprietary data.New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

Oh holy crap, schools have tons of systems using windows 11, all that student data... that's very not good
AI recall for windows 11 is an absolute dereliction of decency by Microsoft. Pure wank... idiots.
Microsoft is reworking Recall after researchers point out its security problems
Windows Hello authentication, additional encryption being added to protect data.

Windows 11 24H2 is now incompatible with USB scanning devices, too
Windows 11 24H2 doesn't work well with cache-less WD SSDs, Ubisoft games, Asus devices, fingerprint sensors, and much more. We can now add USB scanners and devices...

At this rate, Windows 11 sounds like the best advertisement for that $30 extra year of Win10 support.

What is the point of TPM 2.0 if all the streaming services are becoming ever more restrictive in what resolution they allow on PC? A year or so ago Disney+ stopped supporting 1080p and greater, limiting PCs to 720p. I'm not sure when Netflix started limiting playback of non-Netflix content on PC to 480p playback. I'm not sure what resolution Amazon Prime is limiting PC to these days, but it seems inconsistent.
What is TPM 2.0 being used for, if not it's not for DRM on media?

It was never about making life easier for YOU, I can tell you that much.
May I offer you a nice Plex Server in this trying time? #FrankReynolds
You can get higher resolutions using the disney+ app through the windows store on pc. Or if your browser-fu is strong enough to make it think you're using a supported browser/device.

No, you can't. They discontinued that version of the app. The current version just loads a Microsoft Edge based browser that's subject to the same limitations. Can't download videos, can't play back at 1080p or higher.
From this blog post:
The potential threat they are protecting against is you finding and grabbing the encryption key out of RAM. If the CPU never sees it, then neither can you. Unless...
