@stevesi @dsobeski As long they are not using any web framework. There is not one web app that uses less than 200MB for Hello World. Best are electron with 1GB. This is nothing windows should rely on. Compile native running apps with as minimum memory footprint as possible.

@dsobeski Let's hope they are talking about APIs and not making it a language thing. There's nothing wrong with the web languages so long as they call the right APIs. The problem wasn't the language but the runtime and the abstraction.

Go figure.

Microsoft is moving to 100% native apps for Windows 11. They are stepping away from web-based wrappers. A new team at Microsoft will rebuild apps using native tools like WinUI. Engineer Rudy Huyn is involved in this shift. Apps like File Explorer should launch quicker. The Start menu and context menus will feel more responsive.

@marchr Build and use native Apps. These Webapps are eating a huge amount of memory. Same for Widgets. Why Webapps? Don’t rely on Web Frameworks when it is a system component. Try to use as minimal memory as possible! And remove all these unnecessary Service. Let the user decide

I'm really excited for the work we're doing on Windows to improve the quality and craft of the OS. I work on the Windows design system & core surfaces (like taskbar, start, & settings). If there's something you'd like to see improved in the design of Windows, let me know!

I’m building a new team to work on Windows apps! You don’t need prior experience with the platform, what matters most is strong product thinking and a deep focus on the customer.

If you’ve built great apps on any platform and care about crafting meaningful user experiences, I’d love to hear from you. Send me your portfolio via DM. If you know someone looking for their next opportunity, feel free to share this with them!

I worked on the fly connectome for over 6 years, and let me just say that y’all have to slow this hype train way down. Connectomes are amazing. Biomechanical models are amazing. Linking the two is awesome. But scientists at the HHMI Janelia Research Campus, Princeton, and other institutes have been working on this for years now, and it’s not clear to me what’s new in the below. And connectomes are still missing a LOT of information. We’ve had the connectome of the worm for over 30 years now, and we still can’t reliably simulate a virtual worm. For example, connectomes don’t capture information about neuromodulator or neuropeptide release sites or receptors. These molecules are constantly changing the properties of neurons in the brain in ways that we have yet to really understand. And we don’t yet understand animal behavior well enough to refine and/or evaluate whole-brain simulations effectively. @AdamMarblestone and @doristsao already made many of these points, as well as many other good ones, but I just wanted to also add my two cents.

@designedbyabin @Daniel_Rubino Super happy to hear. But sad Scanning is not working. I am using the Scanner App too! But it works for me…

@Agredo10 @Daniel_Rubino Found this in Optional updates. Installed it and now Printing is working! Scanning is not working though using the Windows Scan app. Thanks a lot... Having printing working is a huge help. Why wouldn't the driver automatically install though!!!

Can't say I'm shocked that Qualcomm's upcoming X2 Elite Extreme chip bodies Intel's Core Ultra X9 388H, at least on multi-core (18 vs 16 cores, which is crazy for a laptop), but the single-core score on Geekbench also heavily favors Qualcomm, which is a big win. Qualcomm's chip should ship in the ASUS Zenbook A16 in the coming weeks. Also, I really need people to stop yapping about "yeah, but there are still problems with ARM on Windows," because that line is getting old and is really outdated. It seems the only people who say it are people who don't have a Qualcomm laptop and just regurgitate something they read 3 years ago. Anyway, those scores below👇 windowscentral.com/hardware/qualc…

@welt @Grok wurde im gelenkten Video, in dem die Sache aufgearbeitetwerden sollte, irgendwas unpassendes oder unerwartetes gesagt? Die Reaktion klingt so, als fühle sich das ZDF „ertappt“.

@designedbyabin @Daniel_Rubino Die you take a look into the optional Windows Updates? I got the Canon driver from there. This driver was not installed automatically.

The canon app on Microsoft Store doesn't suports my printer. The printer app that supports my printer (available on the Canon website) doesn't work on ARM processors. The printer shows up in settings - but doesn't work because the driver won't install. I had no issues in getting it to work on my M1 MacBook, my Windows laptop with Intel chip, iPads, Android tablets, iPhones & android phones. Windows on Snapdragon just doesn't support some core apps. So I won't reccommend a Windows on ARM device to anyone with peripherals. Whereas I would recommend MacBook Neo to everyone I know who just need a mid-range laptop that does laptop things for everyday use. Reported the issue over a year ago via Feedback Hub - no fixes yet. The only things that they keep on adding is a few bugs every few months - that just ruins the experience. Never buying a Windows laptop as a daily-driver again.

@designedbyabin @Daniel_Rubino Hmm my Canon Printer (mx 925) works when installing the driver from Windows Updates. (Scan and Print)

@Daniel_Rubino I have a Surface Laptop 7 with Snapdragon X1. My Canon Printer app doesn't work. Click-To-Do is always buggy. Some updates prevented me from getting past the lock screen. This laptop is worse than my previous MacBook Air M1.

Pokopia just casually solved a 30-YEAR-OLD POKÉMON MYSTERY!!! It's a very small worldbuilding detail that won't matter much to many people, but is a lore drop I have been waiting for since I was 6 years old 😭😭😭

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004 copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

Tired of copy-pasting Unicode strings like "\uF52A" into your .NET MAUI XAML? 😅 I built IconFont.Maui a source generator that reads your TTF at compile time and gives you strongly-typed glyph constants.

if you want to feel stupid today watch this 16 year old guy simulate atoms from scratch in C++. he’s the same guy who has already simulated gravity and black holes ;)
