This is what happens when you vibe-code your OS.

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

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Ghoelian@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

No one said it was unusable. This does sound objectively broken though.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

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)

Every week on ~~Windows~~ Microsoft.

The patch has 3 spikes that punctures more holes

This would be an amazing Delta P joke.
