Windows what are you doing

[Port]

Windows' battery indicator seems to be spontaneously imploding. All of this is while not plugged in.

Half an hour ago, it said the battery level was at 17%, with ~30 minutes of usage left.
Five minutes ago, it said it was charging with a 0% battery level.
Right now, it's at 100%, with 14 minutes of usage left.

.. what?

EDIT: Now the "usage time left" jumped to 45 days.

Sounds like Windows's Battery Detection thing may have gone corrupt.
You should probably just check for an update, sometimes they accidentally release bad updates.


Well either that or your battery is dead or is going to be dead.

Now the battery icon disappeared.
This sure is quality software.

Windows Vista's copying is much, much worse.

Windows Vista's copying is much, much worse.

Wii U's update estimates.
15 seconds remaining...
Literally 30 minutes later...
15 minutes remaining...
5 seconds later,
DONE!

then you are insulting windows 7 copying because they are literally the exact same thing.

Batteries are like the Printers of electricity storage.

They're both stuff and don't work properly.

lol
no

No, they aren't.

Edit:
XP and Vista estimate the remaining time based on the current file it's copying, or something along those lines.
7 calculates the total size and gives you an estimate based on how fast it's going.

Its not XP's fault its the computers hardware's fault.

My heavily modified version of XP that I can't release publicly due to copyright issues, can transfer stuff in seconds.

Maybe you should of gotten some more RAM and a better processor, or overall not run Steam,iTunes,and have 15 Tabs open if you have a weak processor and low amount of ram.

You misunderstood my point.
I'm not complaining about how long it takes.
I'll let you figure it out though because I'm actually getting tired of having to explain EVERYTHING to you.

update vista and tell me it doesn't change to what windows 7 is doing.
