Phoenixan posted:if i resize the window a bunch really rapidly by grabbing a corner and spinning my mouse in circles it crashes because it takes the time to draw all the screenwipe transitions to fill the window size I couldn't reproduce it but once you let go of the corner the accent color spazes out as it lags behind the resizing.

I just learned earlier today that the Surface Pros come with 30-60 days of warranty on the battery. You know, that non-FRU part. Can't stop lolling.

yeah i don't know how you're supposed to know in advance if windows won't randomly completely gently caress up recognizing your display

it's pretty easy actually, don't buy trash hardware, then you can connect and disconnect displays and peripherals with confidence because they won't be reporting inaccurate or non-standard data to windows

we have some acer monitors left from when we were a startup and they are wobbly as gently caress. they have never not been wobbly. they wobble if you type too fast or if you sigh after reading someone's jira comment

I'll never get tired of your meltdown every time the merest brush of criticism lands even remotely close to microsoft  please, enlighten me: why wouldn't this be at least partially microsoft's fault when, given the exact same display set up, it literally never happens when i plug my personal laptop in, which does not run windows?

i'll ask again because i genuinely want to know: what is the logic behind placing all windows (including minimized windows) on the display that is: 1) not currently the primary display 2) not the display the windows were on before the connection was made 3) significantly smaller than any other display in the configuration and why is this behavior preferable to the behavior of all other operating systems i have tried, which place all the windows on the current primary display where i would expect them to go please, enlighten me

that does not happen unless you 1) remove the primary display 2) have some 3rd party multi-display window management software 3) are using an old version of windows
