It actually does that with opening the file itself, rather than inside a program/'app'/whatever, after any change to the relevant file extension or protocol's association. I don't know if it does that for the first time an extension or protocol prefix is associated with something.

Android does the same thing; I don't know about other OSes/UIs.

This is not a comparative value judgment, but an 'are you sure' on file associations is actually pretty hard to argue against unless you're not satisfied with attacking Microsoft pack-in garbage on its own merits.

somebody already pointed it out, but that wasn't the first time I opened a html file. firefox had been set as the default handler for while.

Users are sometimes dumb but will still (might have to) use general-purpose OSes anyway. That box actually probably stops some bad stuff from happening. Until dehumanize yourself and face to Chromebook (or equivalent) becomes a viable way to handle one's computing affairs that isn't going away.

Also it only happens once if you set it explicitly through anything other than that box (because it can't tell if it was you or a program that did it, probably because of a lifetime of technical debt or something). Happening consistently with something that has no or a contested association until something gets alwaysed was not even new to XP.


Well yeah, that part's garbage, and you already saw my opinion on the clingy-rear end defaults page.

at this point they might as well replace custom tv firmwares with android. no reason to be making insecure mini-firmwares that transmit your http traffic from your smart tv in plaintext when you can be running android.

the martian has several product placements for the surface but its never used for anything. they just sit on desks in front of the characters' actual useful computers

always at just the right eye-catching angle though

i lied, there is actually one part where a surface is on a guy's desk displaying charts. but its still never actually used. unlike the numerous Samsung laptops in the movie which are actually used. i guess samsung outbid microsoft, or maybe microsoft got wind that samsung poo poo was in the movie and was like "us too!"

so then they kind of shoved some surfaces in the NASA sets during last minute reshoots
