#Microsoft_corp is revamping #MSWindows11’s #TaskManager so its numbers make more sense, 20250729,
by Andrew W,

『If you … experience the #SCOOBE [second chance OOBE] screen primarily as a nuisance rather than something "helpful," it is possible to make it go away. Per our guide to de-cluttering Windows 11, open Settings, go to System, then to Notifications, scroll down, expand the "additional settings" drop-down, and uncheck all three boxes here to get rid of …』

Philip Laine · Getting Forked by MicrosoftThree years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it. During a Black Friday, we started getting hit with a ton of traffic while GitHub container registries were down. This limited our ability to scale up the cluster as we depended on critical images from that registry. After this incident, I started thinking about a better way to avoid these scalability issues. A solution that did not need a stateful component and required minimal operational oversight. This is where the idea for Spegel came from.
