The USB-A connector has spin ½.

You have to rotate it 360⁰ before it'll fit (and 360⁰ more to get it back to the original orientation).

Not sure if adulthood or chronic depression.

Not sure there's a difference.

Vultures like Broadcom pecking at it isn't exactly a sign of good health, though.

Good, good.

The faster it enshittifies the faster the bubble will pop.

I don't know about Silverhand (not enough chrome, really, he's just a natural asshole), but most Vs, definitely.

No, no, it's not a bad strategy, see..? If the right implements socialist policies, then the left can't implement them, because they're already implemented!

It's genius, really. Great way to pwn those filthy commies.

The index is there (the NTFS file system maintains it automatically) and is fast (as programs like Everything Search demonstrate)... Windows Search is simply not using it anymore, probably so it can shove sponsored shit in the results, or maybe due to lost knowledge due to lay-offs.

Frankly, with the garbage Microsoft is producing these days, and the rate at which the quality, for lack of a better word, is degenerating, I'm starting to consider if LLM slop might actually be less worse...

Yes, but no.

The NTFS file system does maintain an index, and software like Everything Search or WizTree can use it to produce almost instantaneous results (probably faster than back in the XP days, even with larger discs).

The problem is that Windows Search stopped using the damn index for some reason (probably to provide sponsored web results and whatnot instead of whatever you were looking for).

Just get Everything Search and you'll be able to search just as fast as you could in XP, and with no Bing spam messing up the results.

Funny¹ thing is that Everything (and similar programs like WizTree) can be that be that fast because Microsoft's own NTFS file system has a built in file index, which is what Windows Search used back in XP; the search programs practically don't have to do any work, NTFS has already done it for them.

Of course, though, that'll give you the results you want, not the results Microsoft wants, which explains the change in later further enshittified versions of Windows.
