It had all the hallmarks of a rushed poorly tested product.

I think it could almost breach the Fair Trading Acts , Trade description Acts and Consumer Protection Acts of most civilized Nations.

it looked alot like 2k and i though it would be nice and stable....lol was i wrong...hahaha

what stands for S&M ??

S&M stands for Sadocism and Masochism, and its where you get you get tied up and experience pain etc... to get your sexual kicks

So joking that WinMe was to be called Windows S&M implies that it was a painful experience

This is general knowledge, and I dont have intimate knowledge of S&M techniques and practices :o

Hope this helps

Do you have some special non cr*p version of win me that nobody else has? Because the version i had was a pile of sh*t that crashed several times a day and everyone else here seems to have had the same experience.

Thats insane, my record uptime was a day and then it was running in a severely crippled state after several crashes, i couldn't use it for more than a few hours without something crashing

i'm using ME right now and it sucks now as it sucked before when i had it for some months... gonna change as fast as i can to 2k or XP

i was installing my sound card and *puff* it crashed and it crashed explorer even in secure mode... i was like THIS **** SUCKS BIG TIME!

Edit : i'm on win2k now (what a relief) :D

I am running Windows ME right now, and seriously, it is a major HEADACHE. My best uptime I think wasn't too bad for ME, about 1 1/2 days, but that was when I didn't use it, but just let it idle.. actually, WinME sometimes crashes on me even when I leave it alone.

In the end, Windows ME is just a big money-grabber :(

Personally I think ME got a bum rap,most users of ME don't own the full version they purchased the upgrade and it shares file from the older operating system.I personally own the full version and I found it to be a good system certainly not perfect but a good one anyway.There were a few bsod but even in 2000 and xp they are there for some users.I just wanted to put in my 2cents.

Well my WinME came with a completely brand-new computer, and yet it still sux... best thing they've done is add the system restore, because they knew it would be used quite a lot :s

HAHA! Tell me about winMe, lol... i still use them (yeah!!!!). It sucks big time, but since XP refuses to install as dual boot, XP sucks more on my PC (lol). I have an other PC here with win98SE and I never EVER had a crash/blue screen or whatever you might call it... Now the reason why i still use this piece of worthless **** is because i have put in a lot of work, installing everything the right way, customizing it the right way, and now it will take me ages to re-do this stuff... winMe shouldn't be in the list of OSs though...

winMe is not an operating system guys, stop treating it like one! It's a NOS!!!! Non-Operating-System. But XP on me is a NBOS... Non-Booting-Operating-System.

either one you choose, its still crap on my PC... winner: win98SE (not kiddin' - lol) it's the only OS which ran smoothly, blue-screenless and absolutely flawless...

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/androids, it's just a matter of time.

The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats.

Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
