qirex posted:unofficial microsoft pr company the verge has a sloppy drunk love letter about how win pho was a "glorious failure" that just happens to gloss over the fact that it was half baked when it came out and basically blames google for not making a youtube app and not, say, the three different sets of dev tools and architecture three times in four years with no upgrade path for devices effectively punishing all their early adopters this has got me thinking. what's the oldest iPhone app that's still supported in the App Store?

Notorious b.s.d. posted:well the lack of needed support from developers is kind of important yeah I know I'm just curious for exactly that reason: it highlights the stark contrast in support between the two platforms. like that old chart that compared iOS vs android and how long each phone was able to remain on the most up to date OS. I think whoever made that chart gave up on refreshing it only halfway into the 4s's life

my current client has two of those gigantic surface tablets that you can cast your computer too and they're actually.... not half bad? i've written off 'smart' boards since forever and this feels like the first iteration that's actually worth half a poo poo when i mentioned this to the client they laughed and told me how much it cost them

to be honest the warning sign should have been how it whined about how it didn't have access to my contacts, calendar, and everything else besides my mail every time i opened it with no 'no you can't have access to it and stop asking me' option

i'm just making sure i'm not crazy: it shouldn't be difficult to modify a group policy such that someone's machine is capable of running commands longer than 250ish characters, right? i'm asking this client to change their policy and they're acting like it's some insane unprecedented ask and i'm kind of blown away that they're making such a big deal about this

infernal machines posted:or their admins are morons and don't know how to use group policy literally the convo we had today after finally getting them on the phone after two months of trying to get them to fix their poo poo them: well we modified the policy on $techlead's machine and he says it still isn't working (i know that $techlead is a loving moron and has made no attempt at getting anything to work on his machine) me: well we're looking at $intern's screen. did you modify the policy for him? *silence* me: $techlead can you share your screen and try to run the deployment script? techlead: no let's try to get it working on $intern's machine helpdesk: what you're asking for is unnatural behavior that doesn't come out of the box with windows. this is a microsoft setting and changing the registry means we're changing the behavior of the system. me: yes that's what the registry is for i don't understand the problem helpdesk: the article you gave us is just some guy on a forum saying things that isn't verified by microsoft. i'm looking at a microsoft article that says input is limited to 256 chars by default. that's the behavior they've defined. you'll need to talk to microsoft to have this fixed me:

Shaggar posted:why are the paths so long? it's only slightly over 260 characters. if they condense some of the folders down to abbreviations it works fine. the issue is that they're just going to run into this problem again when either additional arguments are added to the launcher or someone new comes on and uses a different folder structure or whatever.
