  1. Okay, so this might be better off in off-topic, but I wasn't really certain, since it 'is' tech related. Anyway, this video was actually how I learned about voice typing in Windows 11. So anyway, uh, as I'm using it right now for typing this, I actually in general really like it. It actually picks up my personal inflections and everything really well as well. However, I decided to start playing around and see what it would do if I like recorded part of a podcast or something with it. And the outcome was spectacular. I did eventually realize part of the issue that it was having was that my speakers were turned too far down from my microphone to pick it up well enough. So in reading the following, I suppose you might call it a transcript, You'll probably be able to see where it started picking up better as well, but overall it is still really hilarious results and I thought it would be fun to share.


    Windows 11 is great, I mean this baby packs so many features, better HDR. Better surgeon. To work. OK, it has some problems and he's our eleven of the ones that have been driving us most crazy over the last few weeks. And this is a message from our sponsor. Thank you. Smart deploy for sponsoring this video with smart deploy IIT can deploy Windows apps, BIOS updates and security patches to any device anywhere from the cloud. Get your exclusive free software worth over $570 at smartdeploy.com/linus. Second, first up on our list is a seemingly minor complaint, but it's one that could hide something much more sinister. As of writing, there were a few core tools that were just straight up broken on Windows 11 launch. The snipping tool, voice typing and the emoji panel. Now Microsoft is already rolling out a patch. By the time you watch this, it'll probably be fixed, but the issue is that these broke because Microsoft's digital certificate expired on October 31st. Why are core parts of the operating system dependent on these? Digital certificates that can just expire if you have the pro version and suddenly you can't use the feature you paid for, that is simply unacceptable. Speaking of buying Windows 11, unless you pay extra for the Pro version, good luck creating a local offline account without logging into your Microsoft account's. Any of you. Already have Microsoft accounts and there are real world benefits to using one like account recovery through the cloud, but this solidifies once and for all the idea that while Windows is becoming free to use, you are almost certainly paying for it with your data once you've logged in you can create as many local accounts that aren't linked to Mr Gates. Your Windows 1118 will need to phone home during setup or you are basically hooked. We haven't actually encountered this one yet, but there are reports online of the Windows 11 Driver update tool. Actually down grading the drivers that you have installed for your GPU. So for now. You're best off completely ignoring the tool and sticking with your direct download from NVIDIA or AMD website. Oh, and by the way, did you notice the menu breaking in that clip? Well, multiple staff members here at LMG have reported File Explorer just randomly crashing on them. It's happening to Jake fleet of five times a day and after the first couple of times. Really starts to get on your nerves. I mean we expect some crashes here and there. It's not like Explorer doesn't hang in Windows 10 sometimes, but when a core feature like this fails repeatedly, you can't help but get this anxious feeling like there's always a storm cloud following you around. Speaking of which, where's my weather? Windows you took forever to put the weather thing in the taskbar and then now, just as I had gotten used to it, it's gone. Hidden away in the widgets. How will I know that it's going to be a cold day and I need to grab my LG TV and stealthily, he melted his partner, Also right clicking the taskbar? No longer gives you the option to bring up task manager, and no longer gives you the option to anything at all except for taskbar settings. And while we're at it, why the heck can't I see my clock on every monitor I want to game on my main display? You know, the one where you inconveniently elude the clock? I don't want to Alt tab out of. My gamer pulled my phone to see if I should have gone to that two hours ago. Ah, gaming. If you're running an AMD CPU, you got off to a pretty bad start with up to 15% performance laws in games between scheduler issue. Thankfully the patch for that seems to be working for most people now, but now it's Intel. It seems to be having their own troubles. We've had to do more hard resets in the last couple of weeks and in the last couple of years playing a mix of both older games like Dota 2 or Slay the Spire and newer ones like Forza Horizon 5 and definitely it might be the new auto HDR feature that's causing some of this fuss. We've seen the most is with multiple monitors suddenly going dark, and then the entire PC becoming unresponsive, but at this point the only thing we know absolutely for sure is that it's pretty annoying now for some more multi monitor woes, these come in the form of weird scaling bugs that just keep encountering. Basically, if you have scaling set to 150%. And open the settings menu in your secondary display. It'll open scaled to 100%. You can then move it back to the primary display and wanna make that it's fixed, but this kind of window dance shouldn't be required in the first place and neither should fussing about with the updater. It worked perfectly fine for some of our staff, but Jake had to do a fresh install and we've seen similar complaints online. To be clear, we always recommend fresh installing a new OS for the cleanest, most bug free experience, but keeping all of your programs and files is supposed to be possible, and it makes for a much less painful transition. For most people, so it would be great if it worked. Another annoyance that started with what we thought would be a pretty cool feature is the overflow icons. It's pretty straightforward. In theory you take apps in your system tray and then put them over onto the right side of the taskbar, as overflow icons. Pretty nifty, unfortunately. These icons often become impossible to right click and interact with while it game is up. So what's the point? You know you hit the Windows Key to bring up the taskbar. You right click the icon and mastic which you know maybe you would think. Oh well, that's because the game is launching. You can't interact with these systems raccoons. Except if you put them back in the system tray, they work just fine. Now let's talk about the rounded corners. These had been causing a fair amount of controversy. For my part, I don't mind the look, but they need to be easier to expand and resize. Currently, it is too difficult to grab the corner in order to perform these actions because Microsoft in their infinite wisdom removed the corner. Looks great, feels UN great. Now the fix is pretty easy. Make the sweet spot bigger for the mouse cursor or just add an invisible corner to every window. But it's going to be done in order to improve quality of life with Windows 11. Also, right clicking on the desktop used to be a great experience. You get all these relevant options that are now hidden away in a sub menu and the worst part isn't that those options are being hidden away, it's how many of these sub menu options are actually just repeats of the previous menu, like? Why yes, the new quick options at the top. Great feature, but. You could have added those without tacking on a seemingly pointless extra step. As for the Start menu, there's a lot of empty space and it can take a bit to load two, which is something I thought we moved past after Windows 10's growing pains. Furthermore, if you start typing to search for something, it switches you over to the search window, which just feels unnecessarily jarring. It doesn't even morph smoothly into the other window, just gently brings up the search menu while dropping the start menu. At least it does the first time you do it, just like we're going to be putting together A1 petabyte SSD server for the first time and subscribe so you don't miss that and don't think we've forgotten about you Mr. Windows search. You were the chosen one. Finally, to be focused on helping us find our files and applications. But no, Microsoft decided that Web results should still be the priority. Now, to be clear, it is better than Windows 10, way better than Windows 10. We just feel that a tiered setting, Web priority, local priority, or. Local only would allow it to be all things to all people rather than well, an annoyance to many people. We've mentioned often that being an early adopter sucks, and while many folks are actually reporting a hassle free experience with Windows 11, a fair few are squarely on the other end of the spectrum. Hopefully the next six months to a year sees the majority of these issues ironed out, though, because as painful as broken windows can be, get it 'cause it's glass. Painful, he laughed a little. I haven't found my monthlong transition to Linux to be any easier, but it is easy. Is transitioning to our Sponsor Micro Center. Has partnered with Jesus to offer a new, easy to use online PC builder tool. The tool helps customers build their own computer with three different base starting. Points value, performance and ultimate. Each based system will include a case with a pre-installed motherboard power supply and separately packaged graphics card. So you can just add your choice of CPU between AMD and Intel as well as your preference for RAM, storage and operating system. The parts can be arranged for same day in store pickup or for an added build feed. Micro Center will. Assemble the computer for you. If you're unsure of what parts you need, microsensors expert technicians can walk you through selecting your components, so go check out Micro Center's new PC Builder at the link down below and check out the link to how to receive a free 240 gig SSD. If you are a new customer. Thanks for watching everyone. Have you updated your OS yet? Swapping over to Linux instead? If you enjoyed this video? Maybe go check out part one of our Linux Daily Driver Challenge definitely ran into some issues there. The answer is nothing is perfect.

    Banned for banning yourself.

    Banned because I wanna rave about my new shirts and how comfy they are and I don't know where to do it. So I bans instead.

    I also ordered from them as they were a sponsor of a tech Tips video. They billed my boss's AMEX card for 2 computers over a month ago and are not responding to email, voicemail or their online form. LTT I think you guys need to reevaluate them as sponsors and do an apology video on their behalf for all your followers that ordered from them. My advice to everyone out there is to do your own due diligence before dealing with any LTT sponsors as its clear LTT doesn't vet them first. 

    It's so crazy. And they're supposedly directly part of Digital Storm which is a company I wouldn't expect to do shady crap like this. I mean, not even a response of "we're sorry we can't build any PCs because graphics cards don't exist", which would make sense. We had to file a dispute with the card company to get our money back.
     

    I'm starting to lose faith in LInus's ability to choose sponsors. I was one of the many who said as much when Raid Shadow Legends showed up as a sponsor and Linus said a bunch of stuff he clearly doesn't believe about it.

    Banned because you're twisting it

    You summoned me by saying my name

    And by saying you didn't summon me, you're lying

    Banned because I wanna summon you now. I have no idea why, but it sounds powerful. Can you beat Bahamut?

    Me as well, I guess since moving got cancelled last minute I should get back to setting my lil ones room back up she comes back over tomorrow. I really hope he's doing well it's been an extremely hard last week.

    Well, I hope things get easier. I'm bad at judging appropriateness, so if I miss my mark, I apologize, but if you ever need an ear, DMs exist. Listening and giving a damn is about my only single good quality.

    Probably nothing you're doing wrong anything. Computer just be like that sometimes.

    Looking at it, it's probably me. I've never really been good at message boards. Scared to socialize even online.

     

    Alas, I've run out of interesting things to bring up :(. This has been the most involved conversation I've had in... ... ... ... some amount of time.

    it's actually quite easy first you click Multi-Quote Screenshot_386.png.9f3799e2a3cd910eda2a15c61b572cca.png

     

    Than once you're done picking all the quotes you click on the bottom right of the page Screenshot_387.png.52fc36f53faf729b5eab126325df0878.png

     

    and it'll paste them all into the edit box that is open or to the new comment box if no edit box is open

    I think that's what I tried to do, but it just nested your quotes inside of eachother.

    as a yout I had a record player stereo with theatre speakers that I used to listen to Star Wars Audio Adventures on.

     

    yeah more than likely, I know I got pulled over (*parked in a parking spot at the lake) by a girl I was in grade 6 with... it was awkward cause was just sitting there looking at the lake. Luckily she was nice to me and left after she realized who I was.

    Our record players all broke over time and I haven't pulled the trigger on a new one.


    Lakes are the best to sit by and watch the sun/moon. We have a pond down south that I like to run away to.


    (I don't know how to  split the quotes sorry lol)

    yeah it's kinda scary thinking that the people who beat me up are now old enough to be cops and most of them probably only did highschool

    Worse that they're probably the one's that want to be cops... in my experience at least.

    You all know that min education requirements for police officers are simply high school graduate/GED right?  Yea, the police depts. might wanna change that...

    Ah hell, I don't think they even need that around here. But I think it's moral studies that need to be required more than anything. Like a 4 year philosophy degree.

    noo they are from old radio broadcast audio action adventures. classic 😄

    Ah, I need those in my life. The most radio shows I've listened to is a bit of Hitch-hiker's Guide and about half of War of the Worlds.

    I mean subs like being ruined right? 😉 yes that one and if you can see it on the list cause some places it's not available is just pure amaze has a nice remix story using classic audio action adventure of dick tracy!

     

    The beginning that is movie quotes right? I can't place the quotes.

    Ah... my very muddled, disabled brain was trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing ASAP. I don't do anything quickly anymore, so I was probably screwed.

    oh man that is hard, I've never really been that good with cops either they were always quick to agree with the other party and take me to the hospital or remove me from my own apartment. I still filch when someone moves their arm too fast.

    I'm typically really good with cops. Most of them see me as a bit like one of the Duke boys. Mostly they respect me because the last one that crossed me in a bad way (threatened to falsify charges if I hung out with his son at his mom's house when I was about 17) got pushed into early retirement.

    But, nothing beats old money to a young cop.
