Internet Explorer: Breaking News Eventually

Microsoft really said "we know what's best for you" and turned our beloved "My Computer" into the soulless corporate speak "This PC." Back in 2009, your computer felt like yours —a personal machine you had control over. Fast forward to 2026, and it's just another device in the cloud ecosystem that phones home more often than E.T. The rename wasn't just cosmetic—it symbolized the shift from owning your machine to merely using a terminal that Microsoft graciously lets you access. Your files? OneDrive. Your settings? Synced to the cloud. Your privacy? What privacy? The "This PC" era came with telemetry, forced updates, and the constant reminder that you're not the admin anymore, you're just a guest with elevated privileges. Yeah, we see what you did there, Microsoft. We see it, and we're still salty about it.

Microsoft's login system asking if you want to stay signed in, promising to "reduce the number of times you are asked to sign in." Then there's the "Don't show this again" checkbox. Spoiler alert: you'll see this dialog tomorrow. And the day after. And every single day until the heat death of the universe. These checkboxes are basically digital placebos. You click them with hope in your heart, believing this time will be different. It never is. Microsoft will ask you to sign in again before you finish your coffee. The checkbox might as well say "Click here to feel momentarily empowered before we ignore your preferences entirely." The "Yes" button to stay signed in? Also decorative. Your session will expire faster than milk left on a radiator.

The eternal optimism of creating a "Tomorrow" folder for downloads you'll definitely get to... someday. Meanwhile, that Windows 8 theme pack has been sitting there since approximately the Jurassic period. Procrastination level: expert. The folder even has the audacity to only contain one item, like it's judging your life choices. At least the "NotMyFault" folder in last week is aptly named.
