I dunno, scathing blogpieces about GDC parties seemed to peak around 2010. Every year there are 30 GDC afterparties hosted in nightclubs and twice as many upset headlines assuming that Mojang or Microsoft hired strippers, when in reality they're staples of whatever club they rented out for the night.

I mean MS couldn't be expected to know Big Al's House of Knockers would have lewd dancing an pick a different place for the party, right???

everyone knows you just replace them all with an options button that when you click it lists every possible task you can do with that entity plus some unrelated ones

the only buttons you should have besides that are context-sensitive add, delete, forward and back buttons

Windows 10 completely ignores the "no auto restart with logged on users" group policy setting/registry setting. the only thing you can do is set it to manual check for updates only. if you have it set to prompt to install, prompt to reset, it will display a big "updates are ready" banner every hour or so covering the whole screen, and the only button loads windows update; there's no "i know let me get back to work goddamnit" button. either way as soon as updates are installed its rebooting, the best you can do is use group policy to make it let you schedule a time or delay by a certain amount.

According to both the latest and the previous versions of the support document, the upgrade and its scheduled implementation is approved when the user either clicks the "OK" button or the "X" in the upper right corner of the notification.
"If you click on OK or on the red 'X', you're all set for the upgrade and there is nothing further to do," the document stated. The "X" Microsoft mentioned is one way to close a window in Windows.

i'm still using 8.1 at home, i got it when i picked up an ssd and before 10 was out, and it is incredibly bad. i thought i would stick with it instead of giving up right away and going back to 7, and then by the time i realized that was the wrong decision it was too late. i thought about going to 10 during the beta but it looks worse and i think i made the right decision. i'll probably move to 10 sometime after the anniversary update but i want to see how that goes first or if it's as bad as the threshold 1->threshold 2 update was. i'm not thrilled about windows 10 but it will be nice to have a start menu again

point two is irrelevant because the window isn't asking for permission to update so when you close it it works as intended. (it's a sneaky move but can we at least be autisticaly accurate in our funny computer forum?!?

Why does microsoft's RDP app not respect windows DPI settings and why is it also unable to scale up at all? 3840 is not really usable on a 15" laptop and setting it lower just creates giant black letter and pillar boxes.

you should be able to set the DPI inside the rdp session. and if your on windows 10 version of rdp you can set a custom resolution for the rdp session then enlarge it. it looks like poo poo but it works.

If your business critical software relies on some Windows 7 eccentricity, then you should have provisioned for that in your group policy. Isn't that your job? Windows 10 is far and away the best consumer OS, and likely the best enterprise OS depending on your LOB assuming your bespoke tools work on it - but sometimes that takes time, and I understand that. Doesn't mean it's not the best freaking OS there is. Comprende? Does little sperg baby need more clarification?

not my job, win10 is mediocre as an upgrade to 7 and only good in light of the shitshow that was 8, and your still trying to make a different argument than you made at first, comprende?

its cool how your brain problems preclude you from understanding intent aka "reading between the lines" so you contrive some inane pedantic interpretation to suit your needs. windows 10 is way sick.

here's the "argument" ive been making since the first: Windows 10 loving owns. If you're having a problem with it at home, it's because your autistic and only eat chicken fingers. If you're having the problem at work, it's because you're not in a properly configured network. pretty cut and dry. Which one are you? Mentally ill at home, or incompetent at work?

sorry I couldn't read your mind or parse out your actual meaning from the random characters you generated by flailing in the direction of the keyboard I guess

a 2 user business isn't going to buy volume licensing or an ad server or maybe even a cj to come in on the reg. you can scream about how stupid they are as much as you want but it doesn't change the fact ppl have been screwed by auto upgrades

win 10 has nothing to recommend it over 7 and is only good in light of the poo poo show that was 8. MS is trying to force everyone to update to cargo cult the success of 7/attempt to prevent win 7 becoming the next xp. all they've actually done is piss people off and teach a new generation of olds that you can't trust windows update.
