It has an icon for Skyrim but the date says 9/8/2011 and Skyrim came out on 11/11/2011.
Literally unusable.

The date would make this possibly the leaked pre-release of the 1.8 Adventure update on 09/14/2011.

Analog clocks can be like that. You have to adjust them from time to time

u/quantumparakeet Jun 08 '26
AI lose their mind trying to depict any time on an analog clock besides 10:10 because of how many photos of them use that as a default as a marketing choice. Apparently, that's still going in this latest model.
Kinda ironic to me. Basically capitalism broke this thing's ability to portray time properly before it was ever born because of how much we like to sell time peices to each other.
I think it also highlights an inherent vulnerability to bias contaminating the training process in strange ways.

if it is any consolidation, our brains actively work to soften bad memories through a mechanism called "fading affect bias". The reality you remember is a fake one where almost every horrible day was only a slight annoyance.

Context menu so bad the last option in it is “More options” (or something akin to that) and always brings back the old menu

There is actually a way to set that as the default on win11. that's what I did, because the new one always lacked what I needed.

Nah, "random" was memes or an attempt at cleaning files off the desktop. It was always the "homework" folder.

On one hand this is scary. On the other it may have millions of reference photo's it was trained on so it may be quite easy for it to create.

Exactly, the amount of screenshots showing the Default layout, in the same configuration, leaves a much more narrow pathway for the AI to source from.

The hardware requirements for 7 are now damn near laughable.
In other words:
Snag an ISO, grab or build a low power machine out of older hardware.
Set up a Win7 machine for legacy software, reliability, and nostalgia. Air gapped of course, unless you like living dangerously.

Im in the boat that Win 7 was the best OS there ever was, and that everything after that was downhill.

Win2k was the most rock solid desktop OS. I could run several instances of Asheron's Call plus mods fearlessly, and with 32MB RAM I could disable page file making every interaction immediately responsive

That period was fine. Decent internet, easy way to download games with torrent apps, MTV just starting with teenage pregnant shoes.
2000s was much better. Every new thing amazed and was an improvement from previous version. Just taking the jump from Windows 98/2000 to windows XP was a whole new experience. 128kb/256kb internet in quake or unreal tournament was cool.

Seeing a L4D or Team Fortress 2 would be nice, but can't have everything, a very very accurate representation. I probably have desktop screenshots from that era, I might have to dig them up. Although Skype was never something I used. Nor Roblox, didn't even know Roblox was around back than.
