Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?
Man, does ANYONE needs this? Probably no one. This addition is just another way to force people to use AI so they can gather more personal information about that person. Specially with Notepad.
Will people be able to do thing without AI on the future if it’s being pushed so hard on everything? Like, they want to make our brains smoother and dumber lol
“Bro, if we keep feeding the AI more and more data, he willl be like a real human, then will be cracking sick jokes with me. He will be my first real friend!” – Elon Musk probably
He will be my first real friend
🤣🤣🤣
I truly can’t fathom why microsoft are so bad at these things. I actually like the photos “app” on windows but it recently updated to instead of allowing cropping and rotating to having a colourful button for “edit in designer” which doesnt open anything, creates a blank photos window and crashes.
They are so bad at improving customer experience. I have an opportunity next month with our cto and cio and I am hoping to get across just how shitty they are to deal with and interact with.
Please keep us updated!
We are saving literal millions a yeae by moving from google. Its a bottom line decision, the best I can hope for is to colour their view to hold the opinion against the savings in discussions down the line.
Sharepoint overcomplicates everything.
I have been using SP at my job for like a decade now and I still cannot find my way around it and have to bookmark specific pages/folders so I can find them again.
It’s aggressively, in-your-face bad.
God damn I thought it would get better!
Nothing is simple, everything has a new logo and application instead of the functionality being native. Case in point,
Google calendar>select day>select out of office>decline meetings.
M365>create event>name it out of office>select out of office from drop down>select all day>trigger dialogue for viva insights>are you out of the office?> open viva insights> no such out of office settings available>return to calendar>save event.
Everyone can see with a glance if I am out of office in google and not m365.
Notepad is perhaps better known as a code editor than a word processor
How many insane people are using notepad for software development that it’s “better known” for that?
I think most everyone who is sane has moved on to coding in MS Word by now. Much better, and you can italicize and bold parts of the code for emphasis.
Case sensitivity in the language is soo last year. Formatting sensitivity is the new hottness!
<funfact> The majority of the early internet (HTML) was mostly created in Notepad and similar basic text editors. </funfact>
These are good alternatives for Microsoft’s Notepad and Paint:
- For Windows:
- For Linux (and other operating systems):
Kate is also available on Windows.
Almost any default text editor on Linux is better than Windows notepad, and many are straight up better than Notepad++
Switched to Linux Mint at home, quit my Windows developer job, and having a great time. I’ll never go back.
In my house 3 computers are already running Linux (Raspbian on Raspberry Pi, Debian testing on my PC and openSUSE on a family laptop), and I already talked with my dad to install Linux on his personal laptop as well, which is probably going to be Linux Mint (I am planning to replace openSUSE on other laptop with Linux Mint as well, because openSUSE sucks).
The whole point of Paint and Notepad is that they’re extremely simple and no-frills.
If MS really wants to add this bloat, it should be to their Office suite.
I think the whole point of Paint and Notepad is that they are installed by default. They are there to give you the most basic functionality MS can offer without charging you extra. Now they are simply trying to get some extra money by funneling users to AI/MS 365.
And that AI is not free either. They bundled it with the Office update
A1… it’s all computer!
They need to put AI inside the AI next and add a couple more full screens of ads , some subscriptions and super ultra premium++ edition OS DLC for functionality to save files.
On mobile so excuse my not linking to site but winaero tweaker has links for instructions how to replace current notepad with the classic notepad. Haven’t looked back since.
