It has been like this since long before coding LLMs.
It got much worse when they went AI First.
Can they just get to the extinguish step already?
How do you break the recycle bin... all it is is a pseudo folder that is present across all drives. All it does it recurse every drive and look for the path driveletter:\$RECYCLE.BIN\Account_SID
Microsoft acknowledged a bug in the June 2026 update that displays internal file names instead of real names in Recycle Bin confirmation dialogs.
Yup, totally broken then. Unusable.
Gotta love headline hyperbole lol
There's different levels of broken. Like a drawer that doesn't close all the way still works as a drawer, and while I would call a drawer with its bottom busted out more broken than one that just won't close, both could use some repairs.
No one said it was unusable. This does sound objectively broken though.
I'm not familiar with microsoft enough to really know what an internal file name entailed but, looking it up on other sources, it appears it made it so the files that appeared on the delete prompts were named to things like $Rxxxxx.ext which I'm not sure how could even happen. but yea the actual files in the can were named correctly, and they were deleted (or restored) as well. so its definitely a more minor bug.
How do you break the trash bin...
They didnt, this was basically fake news. They broke a string in a dialog that shows in certain cases.
I hate windows and Microsoft a lot BTW.
Coding in uncommented brainfuck... or -more realistic nowadays- vibe coding.
At one point, they'll be so deep in vibe code no human would be able to rescue Windows. And it doesn't seem too far.
That happened already without vibe coding.
What the hell is that website. They're just AI-aggregating news?
The website itself also looks pretty much exactly the same as default vibe-coded websites with no real style direction (which is to say default shadcn for the most part)
Ha-Ha
Somebody Else's Problem ;)
Jesus
Don't hold your breath, they took over a year to fix the disappearing cursor issue on some distributions of Win11 in 2024-2025, the cause was rooted in the interaction between the brand new desktop window manager and the legacy cursor rendering path that hadn't been updated since Vista, when moving the mouse between an application rendered with modern XAML components and a legacy system window, the cursor would sometimes become fully transparent, it was still there but invisible to the user until system reboot, turns out that building fluid fancy modern UI elements on top of a legacy Win32 framework does that sometimes.
Finally Microsoft learns the art of the Bugfix
The patch has 3 spikes that punctures more holes
Every week on ~~Windows~~ Microsoft.
