brap posted:nope, I’m just a person asking in good faith about something I don’t really have context about the actual problem is not "je suis charlie" (which is a shitstorm of its own), its that the update had it automatically type poo poo into your real documents, with no way to control that behaviour, which should be understandably undesirable. other than that, though, the much spicier take is the tsunami thing. your product page is product page not your personal stream of believes, shut the gently caress up and keep your social ineptitude and lack of non-technical education to yourself

i think it's safe to say that nobody on the visual studio team uses a hidpi monitor. after the latest update the text in the normal editor windows is ok, but the text in the debug panels is microscopic and the controls in some message dialogs (eg the find and replace dialog) are 2x as large as they should be

Remember Windows RT folks? It's back, in pog formquote:Leisurely. Is the only possible word one could use to describe the performance of Windows 10 on ARM today. That the HP Envy x2 user experience suffers as a result is undeniable. So the question is whether this problem is fatal, or whether the platform’s other benefits—stellar battery life and standby, plus seamless connectivity—are good enough to render the performance issues moot. quote:For example, the first time I opened the Windows Features control panel, it took about 30 seconds for the window to draw the list of installable system features. quote:Writing this post in MarkdownPad is mostly OK from a performance perspective, and the HP’s Surface Pro-like keyboard cover is working well and offering a normal typing experience. But there is the slightest, almost not noticeable delay between the time I press a key and the letter appears on-screen. And when I opened the app’s Options dialog for the first time—which I do to adjust the font sizing—it took so long to appear that I thought I had mis-clicked in the menu. What’s “so long”? 3 or 4 seconds. That’s an infinity when you’re used to the normal instantaneous response time. lol in 2018 it still can't keep up with typing

LastInLine posted:tbf the win10 machine at work with office 2013 lagged noticeably in typing in outlook until i turned off some weird graphics acceleration one of the windows settings i think this is the animation they added which has the cursor smoothly glide over to the next letter for some reason. office being office this behaviour is obviously not present in any other part of the os. presumably some middle manager somewhere thought that it would be a cool feature to make the act of typing words into a document cool and whiz-bang, that was somehow not stopped before it got put into the final product when someone realised that it might be a bit of a waste of time for everyone working in every office, everywhere, to see this animation thousands of times a day

i'm imagining some manager proclaiming that things can't just appear, they have to ~flow~ because that's more ~natural~

disabling hardware acceleration may disable that, but that's not specifically the hardware acceleration setting. you can disable the cursor animations without disabling hardware acceleration although if you have intel video drivers you probably want to disable hardware acceleration anyway because it's broken as poo poo with the IGP drivers

or not. it's an accessibility setting, because of course it is https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/turn-off-office-animations-9ee5c4d2-d144-4fd2-b670-22cef9fa025a e: there is of course a reg hack to do it too, but hopefully y'all know better by now
