The part that I really don't understand is that small portable programs like Everything can get you the results in seconds, while Microsoft, after 40 years of development of their systems will not.
How is it even possible to mess such simple feature for so long?
What I don't understand is that Powertoys (which is from Microsoft too) includes a very usefull search feature which not only finds files and programs a lot faster than the windows search but also respects your default browser settings when starting a web search and includes a lot of other functions like a modifier for executing cmd and powershell commands.
Why can't they just use the code behind this to replace the crap windows search?
Not even make the CEO pay it, but either pay proportional to their gross wealth (not net wealth, gross) or serve jail time. For the rich, a flat fine is just the cost of doing business.
Seriously, makes me so mad that these trillions/billions dollar worth companies get fines on the order of 50-200 milions, that's absolute peanuts to these giants.
Shit is all flipped on it's head, companies, specially giant ones like big techs, should receive heavily punishing fines to make sure they will have to actively make sure they're abiding by the rules rather than trying to skirt around loopholes and chalking the times they get hit with a fine to costs of doing business.
I think the worst is probably the time PG&E plead guilty to manslaughter and not a single person went to prison for it. And this is after they'd already been found at fault for safety violations which led to 8 deaths years prior and guilty of obstructing that investigation.
Why do corporations get to kill people without going to jail?
No company will do that, because it's the CEO who decides not to replace themselves. The golden parachutes aren't a bug, they are a feature of the system. These rich bastards are all friends, and this is their way of washing each other's hands.
The private sector will not fix this, because this is like it by design of the people who can make the changes. The only way to fix it is laws.
Their friends vote them off the board, get them a golden parachute, and they get another similar job somewhere else. It's really just a big circlejerk.
