@zachlieberman Isnt this just brute force? Like a fourier with 2000x2000 parameters that hits the right pixel color in each pixel or something „basic“?

@tomwarren Mark my words, when MS has long discontinued the Windows cloud pc, the cloud computing revolution will make this the standard way devices work. This is how it went with Windows MR.

Microsoft has just announced Windows 365 Link, a $349 mini PC that connects to the cloud to stream Windows. The purpose-built device is also a Copilot+ device, with Microsoft bringing Copilot+ features to cloud PCs. Full details below 👇theverge.com/2024/11/19/242…

@Fidias0 Very sad results right now, and very likely election interference is taking place. The exit polls were showing an opposition win.

@Damjan_Minovski Why not just stream video? Valve already has tech that can fill in the space betweeb frames even while moving / looking around faster than frames can be sent.

@SnazzyLabs Could you explain why? I feel like you would save money by buying the new phone each year and reselling it after a year. Even with apple care+ you would still be saving money… (Also you wouldn‘t play into apple‘s hand by removing the 1yr old phone from the market)

I'm moving to the iPhone Upgrade Program, so I need to figure out what to do about my wife's iPhone since she usually gets my hand-me-downs.
I thought about getting her the iPhone 16, so I set my iPhone 15 Pro to 60Hz to see if she'd notice. Her first comment: "this is laggy."
TL;DR normal people may not know about high-frame rate ProMotion, but they subconsciously sense it. This really better be the last iPhone stuck at 60Hz cause it's making for a legitimately worse user experience.

@tomwarren How about making ads *when there is a fucking product* that people can actually buy
English

the Mac vs. PC war is definitely back on. Apple’s "I’m a Mac" guy just returned to promote Windows on Arm PCs in a commercial where he's bombarded by macOS popups and nag screens 😅 you can watch the 30-second ad here 👇 theverge.com/2024/6/3/24170…

@davepl1968 @thomas_entner I don‘t know if it is:
File Explorer process is intertwined with the whole Desktop, Modern sleep is a mess, Dark mode is badly implemented, registry is deprecated, no win32 sandboxing, etc…
English

@thomas_entner It wasn't, most of it was very well thought out. It's not fair to extrapolate from an edge case like this to the rest of the product, and that's kinda the point of the story.

I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was.
We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from Windows95 that we had to come up with some custom UI.
I got out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make with respect to formatting a disk, like filesystem, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, and so on.
Then I busted out VC++2.0 and used the Resource Editor to lay out a simple vertical stack of all the choices you had to make, in the approximate order you had to make. It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived.
That was some 30 years ago, and the dialog is still my temporary one from that Thursday morning, so be careful about checking in "temporary" solutions!
I also had to decide how much "cluster slack" would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect.
So remember... there are no "temporary" checkins :)
