okay if anyone else is dealing with lovely software enabling the dedicated gpu and killing your battery life, install gfxCardStatus https://gfx.io and you can manually force it on to the igpu. When you try to switch, it will tell you what programs you are running that suck rear end and cannot switch without re-launching one of which is teams. You can see if its doing it by opening activity monitor and going to Window, GPU History and seeing if the dGPU is active at times when it shouldn't be

.net is fine and they should have used that.

electron is the "compile once, run anywhere" solution that never loving works with a long and storied history of lovely predecessors like flash, java, shockwave, and air

The problem is that WPF is still the official gui library for .net on the desktop and it only runs on Windows.

there are dumb things like threaded chat but you can avoid those things entirely. the biggest problem by far is the client is in javascript and that means it runs like poo poo

postcards from the chredge: HEVC decoding just doesn't work

despite having the "experimental" HEVC decoder active and also the codecs installed, chredge just plain ol' doesn't do HEVC decoding on my system, which is why 4k netflix doesn't work. running legacy edge side by side, it works just fine, so it's deffo just broken in the chromium derived one.

good stuff guys, quality work as always

the one thing "normal" edge actually did really well was a quite principled top-to-bottom hardware accelerated architecture, so not too surprised that it is going to get a lot more chrome-whatever-happens-to-work from here on out (with the upside of course that things will work the same as everywhere else)

that's how you run a lean business. fail early and pivot. you get hired by a web browser company and somehow end up enabling loan sharks.

i somehow have leds in every goddamn peripheral i own so i tried making them all yospos green once. it made me feel perceptively unwell so i changed them back to blue. i'm sure if i tried amber it would have made me homicidal or something.
