compared to macs where you just drop an app bundle in /Applications instead of running an installer that can do who knows what.

it's bad.

there's also the whole sandboxing which is a really neat trick

turns out wangos-store has similar stuff but I guess we should hate new thing or something in favor yolo-ing an unauditable mess of MSI with admin rights

yeah it's good but the windows store is a mess.

the real problem is windows not having sandboxing built in by default, but built ontop of windows 10,

which is built on top of windows ... NT?

which has to be compatible with everything back to grandas computer

it's a weird default to be sure, considering excel is almost only a business tool and not a scientific computing tool

i guess it could be the latter but i wouldn't want to be the poor sod who'd have to use it for that. again.

here's a fun exercise:

paste in a large number that would cause excel to display it in SN

format the cell to be a text field

the cell still displays the SN but if you click the cell the value is displayed correctly

and another:

paste in a large number with more than two numbers to the right of the decimal point (9999999999999.123456)

excel converts it to SN and truncates it to 2 decimal places without warning and there is no getting it back, that precision is gone.

a colleague of mine pointed out (when I explained this to him) that it's the limit of double precision for 64-bit floating points. You can have 15 numbers and a decimal point, no more no less. well I guess you could have less.

i have never used lotus 1-2-3 so it almost certainly would have also happened with lotus 1-2-3

the last version of 1-2-3 was in 32 bit so you could have even fewer numbers. I think. I am not a CS-person.

I tried to search for a torrenting program on my windows pc. all files are indexed, but search would only find the program if I put in the beginning of the name. no searching for “torr” or anything less than the start of the name

also it’s qbittorrent which I think is pretty unique amongst the names of my programs

what the gently caress are 3d models, why does it need its own file in every explorer overview and who thought it was a good idea to not be able to remove things from the finder overview by a simple right click?

what was the windows laptop everyone was crowing about recently? i have a friend who asked for a windows laptop reocmmendation and although it goes against my better judgement as an apple fuckboy, i want to give a reasonable recommendation

there was a heated debate in which two conclusions were reached:

if you want a good laptop with windows you have to pay all the money

alternatively pay as little as humanly possible and buy a new laptop annually

it was probably designed that way so the power brick didn't have to be massive.

or maybe it's limited by whatever you can push though usb-c.
