      It’s all relative. Best match for their user analytics. So they get good numbers to show user engagement in their board meetings.

      Accidental clicks are engineered to juice those numbers too.

    As a software dev I wonder how does this even happen?

    • The movie snippet somehow has bigger weight for ordering - why would that ever be preferred?
    • The ordering is random?
    • The movie snippet is faster than App and Folder snippets?

    It’s incredible how incompetent Microsoft is.

    I keep a small Win11 partition on my 2022 gaming laptop in case I need to take a cert exam or use a gov website, and I booted it for updating for the first time in 6 months. It took over 6 hours and 6 reboots to update! At one point, it was going bu-ding every minute from random notifications so I had to mute it.

    Meanwhile, my 2012 Thinkpad T420 needed a full Fedora version upgrade, and that finished in 15 minutes.

    No wonder MS is losing users

        Ha! Oh, if you think that’s dumb… There are certain key sections of the IRS website that only function during business hours. Imagine if more sites worked like that. “Dang, it’s after 5PM, gotta do my Amazon order tomorrow.
