Better but Broken

Modern computers contains al lot of software. A fully updated fresh windows installation contains well over 50.000 files – and before it being “usable” with the most common applications, plugins, addons and extensions for the software you use on a daily basis, you’ve probably added so much more, that you’ve completely lost count of what’s [...]
