The best thing about windows 8 was the "charms" that only popped out when you dragged the mouse pointer to the lower right corner Literally nobody could figure out how to turn off their computers after upgrading because the button was part of the charms menu

The first 5 minutes of eve valkyrie is insanely cool and atmospheric, but then it's a giant disappointment when you realize there's no single player campaign and just a bunch of random skirmishes with little variety and it gets old really fast. I want a VR remake of the old space opera classics like Freespace 2 Lets hope the windows AR hype keeps VR on life support long enough for the hardware to get better.

The thing I like the best about the Windows 10 start menu is how often the search indexing breaks and typing to find something in it plain doesn't work.

Someone should go picket Microsoft until they release Windows Classic with all the old themes and UI elements reenabled. I wish they could stop reinventing the wheel and just iterate on the stuff that worked great and everyone already knew how to use.

OSX/MacOS would unironically be a better experience if you could switch back to the Platinum theme Just like Windows 10 would be better if you could still switch back to the Classic (95/98/NT4/2000) theme

I am sure we are just at the start of a new history cycle, in another couple years someone will reinvent 3d-style window decorations and widgets, and in another 10 years we'll be back to candy themes like XP and Aqua. It can only really improve from this point

I like how UAC on a server locks you out of directories that you would normally have access to on a server through the Administrators group unless you browse the file system from a remote machine because it is impossible to launch an Explorer window with elevated permissions. Instead, Explorer asks if you want to gently caress up file permissions by making GBS threads a new ACL with your username in it all over the existing files. But wait! Just start notepad.exe as administrator, go to file->open and browse the entire file system through the convenient dialog box, you have access to everything then!

The only bad thing about VS Code is that it expects your machine to be connected directly to the internet, I wish it was easier to package it and its plugins for a shared installation on an isolated terminal server.

it should be a crime for other software to integrate with microsoft office that is usually the reason for staying on ancient insecure office and windows versions, some retarded dependency caused by expensive proprietary business software or the company is too cheap to have a software assurance license, i guess

Looking forward to the first update that bricks your windows completely since you can’t apply whatever bullshit registry hack the KB article gives you to fix it Someone please check if you can at least still use REG and the registry power shell provider

retire notepad.exe and bundle VS Code with the OS instead imo I'm sure there's plenty of other random garbage they could rip out of Windows to make up for the space

If you need to open a giant file that notepad can't handle you are most like using the wrong tool for the job Try http://glogg.bonnefon.org Unless you absolutely, positively need to edit some entry inside a 20GB log file and save it afterwards.

Probably because it would cost 1¢ more per keyboard to program each controller id to match the layout at the factory But it's cool that someone at least tried to design USB so it would just work when you plug in a foreign keyboard In theory if this was implemented correctly you could have several keyboards connected, one for english and one for moon runes

stop defending windows 10, it is literally indefensible although the guy who made Classic Shell eventually got tired of trying to keep up with microsofts bullshit and dropped development of it, it's only a matter of time before it stops working entirely because of the windows 10 rolling feature upgrades. So if you're not already using it, it's probably better just learning to cope with what you have.
