Windows 11 broke the snipping tool. SNIPPING TOOL! Due to a certificate expiring. I resorted to having to take a picture of something with my phone to send it!
Got a tip for us?

You could have, like, hit PrtScr key, or Alt+PrtScr. I’ve been using windows since 3.1 and don’t even know how that sniping looks like is. It was always PrtScr to get a screen grab.
I needed to send something quickly, I didn't have time to go into photoshop to remove some other elements from my screen that I did not want to show.
It's clever use of text mode called MouseText so it's responsive. Most had accelerators anyway that flew through everything. Here's an affordable 16.6MHz accelerator that's about quadruple the speed of what was common back in the days.

But the key is that apparently you are capable of recovering from a problematic situation.
If you say so. Been fine for me.
There are so many snipping/screen grabbing apps, I think taknig a picture with your camera is a bit odd. Besides, the snipping tool is probably the least user friendly - there are so many better tools out there.
As for the cert expiring - that happens, Apple has had its own cert issues through out the years - Apple server issue caused app install, macOS update failures, runtime problems
not for me, the battery life is worse, and shuts down after 20% left
this was a upgrade to windows 11 from 10 on a 2019 Dell XPS 13'
the little things really are annoying like the left and right task bar area select not working.
the extra copy and rename step is again annoying.
so i decided to return to windows 10 by using the original ssdrive
The dell ups is running a WD blue SN550 which is great
yesterday is inserted the original ssd drive, start the Dell and now that won't read the hard drive.
since im not a Windows fixer like a MacBook, i reinserted the WD and everything worked as in the morning.
now im wondering if the original ssd drive is toast, or i need to press F12 as in both "Function-F12"?
i swap 3 ssd drives in both MacBook airs and never had a boot problem.
There are icons on the top of the right click menu for cut, copy, paste. But I might be missing something. Most former functionality can be restored by changing registry keys.
As to why the original hard drive wouldn't work, it shouldn't be a bios thing. It could have been a connection issue, or like you said, the hard drive was going bad? It's rare but it happens.
Yeah that's someplace you want a windows n00b mucking around...
Still do not have any real issues with Win 11 thus far. But then I am not using it for much more than gaming and some Virtual machines.
Love these "goodbye" posts especially from someone who just joined the same day - I would post a clip of someone stomping to the door, leaving then slamming but that might be too much. Oh wait...
Anyway, glad to see it's not just iOS that is being dropped like a hot potato but MacOS as well. /s
Notice that these types of threads only seem to trigger a particular type of member, unsurprisingly. The pattern is there if you care to see it.
It really is incredible how bothered some folks get by this stuff.. lol
thanks for the reply,
the hard drive was perfect and everything was BIOsed before removing.
one of these day i will install that again and try to figure out if that works.
i also had a problem with a camera card drive were the MacBook read that better than the Dell XPS.
those iWindows 11 icons are hard to guess for me and personally made for children.
ahh, we must think of the children!
Most of the settings that you would need on that right click are advanced settings anyway...
The €35 Canon printer/scanner I bought at a supermarket works perfectly fine, over WiFi, on both my 2011 MBP running High Sierra and my 2020 MBA M1 running Monterey.

I’m surprised apple doesn’t just not provide Rosetta in the first place. That will push all devs to rush M1 compatible software on day 1.
IIRC, they did. They announced and pushed that the moment Big Sur and the first set of M1 Macs came out. That was part of the 2-year warning for dropping Intel.
Now relevant to a fresh OS install, I can see why they don't include it. If someone has no use for any x86-based applications on their Mac, having Rosetta installed on it would effectively be bloatware. They wouldn't need it nor should be stuck with programs they'll never use.
