alt Hacker NewsIs there a single thing that Microsoft doesn’t half-ass? Even if you wanted to AI generate a graph, how hard is it to go into Paint or something and fix the test?
I have been having oodles of headaches dealing with exFAT not being journaled and having to engineer around it. It’s annoying because exFAT is basically the only filesystem used on SD cards since it’s basically the only filesystem that’s compatible with everything.
It feels like everything Microsoft does is like that though; superficially fine until you get into the details of it and it’s actually broken, but you have to put up with it because it’s used everywhere.

Nope.
TFA writes this: "The AI rip-off was not just ugly. It was careless, blatantly amateuristic, and lacking any ambition, to put it gently. Microsoft unworthy".
But I disagree: it's classic Microsoft.

I hear you. exFAT works on Mac, Linux and Windows. I use it too, when forced. Note that bad old vfat also still works everywhere
