  • you know I got some torrent files that start to exceed the limit on filenames. I wonder if those are doing something similar. I just assumed newer versions of windows are just running shittier script shells on top of old Windows 7 architecture, but maybe that's worth looking into

    but I would guess there are some wide differences between Server 2022 and a consumer Windows build. A lot of effort seemed to get put into transparency visual effects and window transitions. Maybe this is just my bias but I think industry applications are little better stress tested and optimized for things like file management

  • sheesh, all in one go? I can't get through 1 tb with it even before I start doing hairbrained shit like in my post. on a private machine, with 16gb. I assume that system is on 11?

  • I've used that method too. switched to using cmd because the GUI has crashed before while making changes to large amounts of data. with more recent versions of windows the more unstable it seems to get.

  • the perfect space saver

  • FR, like I know why Microsoft started wrestling away control from end users but dammit I NEED those priveledges for myself

  • You can log in as trustedinstaller???

    do you mean like accessing your files in the 7zip interface? I hadn't thought of using that for anything besides zipping. that's clever

  • another comment caught it too, the correct syntax is "takeown /F".

  • oh god not the UAC 🤮 so I use a lot of software that needs to be able to handle files too and some that gets temperamental with things that mess with full screen. I get what UAC is for but for my daily use it's basically a rake for me to step on

  • honestly if I install a malware at this point I kind of deserve what happens.

  • it is wrong, I butchered it

  • in retrospect that's actually a way better method. do you use the one from winearo? they strike me as untrustworthy but that is 100% based on vibes.

  • SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG

  • I think a lot about where I would be in terms of being able to use Linux if I hadn't spent all these years just trying to make windows not cancer

  • shit, I meant /F.

  • they say it does. the consequences have yet to reveal themselves to me

  • takes ownership of the C disk in windows and gives administrators full priveledges for program files. by default they belong to "trustedinstaller" which bars you from using a lot of your own computer, even if you make an admin account.

  • oh shit look at him gooooo
