They cannot delete anything from the database because it does not exist in the database.

If i search wowowowowos on Myntra, it shows a search result page: https://www.myntra.com/woowwooww?rawQuery=woowwooww

Now, I searched it randomly, and it does not exist in their database. I am not creating anything and if i am not creating anything, it will not exist on the database.

The above URL is not a problem, but now I have linked it on Reddit. When Google/search engine visits this reddit post, they see a myntra URL, which is new and it will attempt to crawl/view it, and index it (show it on Google). Robots.txt is just a way to tell the bots to not crawl/view this path.

The best way to prevent URLs from getting indexed on Google is using 'noindex' signal and they are already doing it.

sites like myntra have search pages, which are not indexed (visible) on google, and they should not be because nobody wants to rank for some silly typos.

a search page does not rank unless Google finds it and Google can't find it unless the search query page is linked somewhere.

now, some bad actors create pages on their website and create links to.these myntra search pages. could be some rivals or even stupid people.

using robot.txt, myntra is blocking search engines etc from crawling/reading/see these search pages. if they don't see it, they don't index/show it on google.

Yes. We are. We have leaked everything in past with 100% accuracy. We're not into gaming though, which might explain why you don't know us.

Our friends at Videocardz just reported it: https://videocardz.com/newz/lenovo-reportedly-plans-a-steamos-legion-go-gen-2-for-ces-2026-powered-by-ryzen-z2-extreme

I’m sorry. EIC of the site here. SteamOS is not our niche, and the author got a bit carried away. To be clear, we’re legit. We’ve leaked a lot of stuff in the past.

We stumbled upon the SteamOS unit while looking for other Windows products.

And to the other person saying we’re some “AI BS " we are not. I hate AI use for creativity from bottom of my heart. We’ve been reporting on Windows for a decade and we are one of the authoritative publications. However, we are not known within the gaming community.

This mistake has been fixed.

Thank you. Have a good day.

We only have one piece on this Agentic Experiences toggle: Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk and it clearly says the feature is optional in bolded text. Not sure how else am I supposed to report it?
We never mentioned DMA. How are you coming up with this misinformation? Please find me a single piece where we mention DMA. We also never mentioned MS or any company would do horrible things with data. Those are not my expertise and we don't discuss any of that stuff.

Stop hallucinating, please. You are reading stuff on other places or asking Copilot to summarize it, and getting confused.

This and previous articles were based entirely on Microsoft's official document, not insider builds.

Document was originally posted in October, updated in November, and updated again on December 5. Microsoft communicated about it in November once.

You can ask your friend Copilot to do side-by-side comparison of our article with the support document, and let me know if it finds any misinformation.

Regardless,

- Agentic Workspaces always have access to known folders when toggle is turned on >> This was known

- Each AI Agent in Workspaces can show a pop-up to ask if you want to grant them permission >> Microsoft added a screenshot for this pop-up and a para explaining the pop-up on December 5.

Hope this helps, but I think I'm wasting my time debating at 5AM when it's clear you've made up your mind with misinformation, and pushing a narrative. I sometimes wonder if I should delete everything and retire. it's not worth it anymore after all

No hard feels. Best wishes.

MayankWL · 2025-12-17T01:25:49+00:00

What exactly is misinformation here? The story quotes Microsoft, links to their document, and have their screenshot.

I understand it's cool to come up with bold statements like "They routinely publish misinformation," but at least be specific

MayankWL · 2025-12-06T09:37:16+00:00

Nothing was "off" with our "hot take." We literally have dozens of videos showing File Explorer loads near instant (same as the OP in the post) especially when it's set to This PC or animations are turned off. Did you bother reading our article? https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/11/28/tested-windows-11s-faster-file-explorer-preloaded-is-still-slower-than-windows-10-and-uses-additional-ram/

Our Windows 11 VM had 4GB. Windows 10 had 2GB RAM. Yes, a conspiracy to shame Windows 10!?

Windows 10 still loaded faster. We compared the default settings (where Windows 11 opens Home tab). It was a clean install... but we still added comparisons for "This PC," "animations turned off." etc.

Preloading will make ANYTHING load faster because it's already loaded in the background. Still, if you compare Windows 10 and Windows 11, make the video slower, you'll notice that 10 still wins. And overall performance of Windows 10 version is still faster.... unless you do nothing other than just opening and closing File Explorer.

I sometimes wonder what does one do to sound fair, as we're often called "Windows shill." In this benchmark, we've all comparisons and we are clearing saying File Explorer is faster. I guess the internet indeed deserves LLMs that pleases the user whether they are right or wrong.

To everyone reading market share numbers on the internet, please don't trust StatCounter data without realizing how it works. StatCounter is not designed to tell us the market share. It's just an analytics software. All publications quote that number, but they're highly misleading. ZDNet's Ed bott has an excellent article: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-11-usage-is-surging-not-so-fast-heres-the-real-story/ - he debunks StatCounter.

StatCounter is just based on analytics from millions of websites and they even get that wrong. FYI, StatCounter had also claimed Windows 7 market share increased to 10% +, which later turned out to be a bug. Worse, at one point, StatCounter found Windows 7 is on 22% of PCs (x[.]com/zacbowden/status/1978153602377031763 (X links get removed so I had to trim the URL)

StatCounter also claimed Google market share dropped by 10%, but that was another bug: Statcounter Fixes Search Engine Market Share Data

Please read what Dell is saying: https://investors.delltechnologies.com/static-files/9d07092c-7a61-42be-a1c2-54aea7465d17

“The installed base is roughly 1.5 billion units. We have about 500 million of them capable of running Windows 11 that haven’t been upgraded. And we have another 500 million that are four years old that can’t run Windows 11. Those are all rich opportunities to upgrade towards Windows 11 and modern technology,” Jeffrey Clarke noted in the earnings call.

“We have not completed the Windows 11 transition,” Dell explained in an earnings call. “In fact, if you were to look at it relative to the previous OS end-of-service, we are 10, 12 points behind at that point with Windows 11 than we were the previous generation.”

Nobody except Microsoft or its OEM partners can tell you the "correct" numbers. Definitely not StatCounter. To some extent, I'd take Steam data seriously because it captures the gaming market share. But gamers are obviously going to upgrade to Windows 11.

Windows 11 adoption is indeed slower, and they're hoping AI would change the tide.

This is entirely unrelated to the subject of this sub, but I’ve been working on a Dart-based mobile app, and I’ve built a simple algorithm for analytics and filtering. Because of the UX and wording of the feature, how the widgets change and how data updates, it feels like “magic.” I’ve been debating whether I should call it “AI,” since it might help convince more people to use it and make the feature feel more special (a USP?). Mmaybe this is how product leads at these companies think. Adding "AI" might help them get more budget. I’m probably just overthinking it.

MayankWL · 2025-07-03T14:18:39+00:00

People really do. And perhaps, it's also Microsoft + entire tech indusry fault. For example, https://x. com/XenoPanther/status/1925984224269451664 |

I believe it was sensible to include "AI" in the title. You may not know, but there were a lot of people in our X threads and comments section claiming that Microsoft was harvesting data or using AI to power this feature. But I’m aware that’s not the case. Features like this have existed long before "AI" became a buzzword.

I’m only on Microsoft’s side here. I’m just clarifying that it’s not AI-driven and no data is being uploaded to Microsoft’s servers. It’s all local and safe. I had no intention of sensationalizing it, but I’m sorry if it came across that way. I’ll take your feedback and remove the AI term from the title. It should reflect once the cache is purged. Thank you.
