@TradHarryKim @nesh @thiojoe I'm not crusading against the traditional run box, just this dumbed down version that looks essentially like start/search. The one thing that made the run box unique, the file browser, seems to be missing in the new one.

@DataMeister1 @nesh @thiojoe It does so more slowly and less reliably because, well, it has to search. Your crusade against an objectively useful and lightweight feature is bizarre, especially since it has an extremely tiny footprint and never gets in the way if you don't want to use it.

I don’t think the Windows run box should be user friendly tbh. Normies are already getting one-shotted by malicious websites that tell them to run a command that just installs malware. The design should imply “this box should be rarely used and by nerds only”.

@TradHarryKim @nesh @thiojoe Windows Start search does the same thing.

@nesh @thiojoe The Run box is extremely convenient for launching things like devmgmt.msc, diskmgmt.msc, regedit, taskkill, etc. quickly. It's more convenient than a terminal because it goes away after launching that one thing I want and is faster than search/start menu.

@nesh @thiojoe The only real advantage it added was the file picker. So you could visually browse the file path instead of having to type it out and risk misspellings.

Most idiotic thing is having it at all. There is 0 reason for it. If there is no proper GUI path to something, then it should **require** invocation from cmd/pwsh/... And they should NEVER autostart to run anything incl. click/enter/w/e on script files. To run terminal cmd you OPEN one and type it in.

@NStepisme @BulwarkOnline @BillieCotter Must have been his McDonald's campaign. LOL.

@BulwarkOnline @BillieCotter Is he saying they were referring to Trump as a cook? How does that make any sense

Tapper: "Do you think posting 8647 is a crime?" Sen. Thom Tillis: "No…It makes no sense to me…I used to work in the restaurant industry and I think 86 has its roots as a cook…I can't find any evidence where 86 is used as a call for violence."

@jakecobb You might have a case for a couple states but Utah, Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Alaska don't count. None of those states are gerrymandered.

There are currently 12 red state with zero Democrat representatives. That’s nearly 1/4 of US states. Republicans are trying to add 5 more through gerrymandering. That would be more than 1/3 of all states. It’s time to outlaw gerrymandering!

@BitsUndBolts The chipset drivers.

What must be installed first? #WindowsXP #RetroComputing

@ScienceExpand Misunderstanding "you" and "touch".

Quantum physics says that you can never actually touch anything.

@DComicTalks @fandompulse Depends on if the 100 million includes the advertising budget which it probably doesn't. Theaters take about 50% of ticket sales so the box office needs to be 200 million break even. Before advertising. If they spend 25 million on advertising then 250 million to break even.

@fandompulse It cost 100 million to make 350 million would be a pretty massive profit

Puck News founder Matt Belloni, on Supergirl's 2026 summer box office prospects after seeing the CinemaCon footage: "Seems like lesser and kind of a, you know, IP milking. So, I am dropping this to a two." His projection: $300-350 million worldwide. Half of what Superman made. Potentially $200 million in losses depending on budget. The DCU is a few weeks away from its second film. Is this what a franchise relaunch looks like?

@fandompulse Well it is what a DCU franchise relaunch looks like. Right on brand for them.

@JayExci I don't think you read the objective fact right. The trolly is rolling and the blues are standing on the track trying to flip the switch, if there are enough of them they can move the lever and change the track. Reds decided to not stand on the tracks at all.

@HappyMotorhead So this appears to be the blade he is using. diablotools.com/products/D0748…

Do you want this? Wait, so you're telling me I don't have to spend three hours grinding sparks into my eyeballs anymore? 🪚🦾 ​Who else is throwing their abrasive discs in the bin after seeing this? 🗑️ ​#DiabloTools #MetalFabrication #ShopLife #Restomod #ToolPorn #FabricationLife #WorkSmarterNotHarder

@JdubAndrew @HappyMotorhead @nudawaya And yet he said in the video. Cool to the touch, it is basically still room temperature.

@HappyMotorhead @nudawaya Um…he picked up that piece of metal right after cutting it with his bare hand. It would have been pretty hot.

@RyanSaavedra Maybe he thought she was implying he claimed it. Just before the quote he said, "So to a lot of Christians or people who know the Bible well and believe in it, these predictions in both the Old and New Testament ... seem to fit what we were watching. Here's a leader who's..."

NYT: "You've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist" Tucker Carlson: "I have not said that" NYT: You said, "Here's a leader mocking the Gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of Gods, and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist?" TC: "I actually did not say 'could this be the Antichrist?'" NYT: ***plays clip of him saying exactly that*** TC: "I don't know where that comes from, but I know those words never left my lips"

@RiddleTrades @Rightanglenews That seems like a really good amount for starting point, but there should be an easy path for a really good teacher to bump up the pay and it should be really hard for a bad teacher to get anything more than that.

Most teachers did not want that day off. Also, some bad actors were mixed in. Teachers were actually trying to fight for fair pay. They are some of the lowest paid in the country. A starting teacher makes $40k and has been that way for over 5 years. What other profession requires a degree and additional certifications and pays so low? Also, should our teachers make a livable wage? They do care for our children.

Furious parents are now demanding the removal of federal funding for over 20 North Carolina public schools after they engaged in mass, coordinated, teacher-led anti-Trump walkouts, forcing the cancellation of classes for more than 700,000 kids. Here’s the list, make some noise.

@microsofterses @ClintRutkas @Niels9001 Where is the file browser in the new run app. You can run almost any app from Start/search. The only reason to actually launch the run app was if you needed the file browser. Removing that feature makes the run app unecessary.

Es una vergüenza el hate que buena parte de la comunidad tech está lanzando sobre Microsoft a raíz del anuncio del nuevo cuadro de Ejecutar 😑 El equipo encargado formado por gente como @clintrutkas y @Niels9001 ha compartido que ahora el tiempo que tarda en mostrarse el nuevo Ejecutar es de 94ms, mejor que los 103ms del Ejecutar actual. Esto ha desatado una oleada de críticas por parte de usuarios que consideran ese tiempo injustificadamente desmesurado. Ex-empleados de MS y gente de otras compañías también se han sentido legitimados para criticar. ¿Qué se supone que estamos criticando? ¡Han renovado una interfaz legacy con un diseño moderno, feature parity, algunas mejoras de calidad de vida e incluso con un rendimiento ligeramente superior! ¿Qué sentido tiene que esté todo el mundo llevándose las manos a la cabeza con los 94ms? ¿Por qué no se quejaban antes de los 103ms? La interfaz se muestra al instante. Todo este es ridículo. Supongo que meterse con Microsoft actualmente son interacciones gratis. Mucho ánimo al equipo encargado. Habéis hecho un gran trabajo. Seguid así 👏🏼

@MarioNawfal Does it cause vitamin D to be created in the skin? That is what indoor hermits really need.

🇨🇳 This might be the most futuristic thing you’ll see today: Artificial skylights that use LED panels + nanotechnology to create hyper-realistic blue skies and sunlight in completely windowless rooms. You can even switch from bright midday sun to warm sunset glow with a remote. We’re now simulating the sky indoors because real windows are apparently too much to ask for in dense cities. This is either peak innovation…or lowkey dystopian. You decide.

@DreamAmerica_ Right now the people tell their state how they want it to vote and then each state votes for the president (with extra weighting behind more populous states). Why change it to individual votes? Do you not want to tailor your campaigns toward small towns anymore?

PETE BUTTIGIEG: "What if we selected our President by letting the person who got the most votes take the office, instead of the Electoral College?"

@SenSanders Are you trying to say that all the FCC rules around what makes for acceptable over-the-air content are all unconstitutional?

The FCC is now threatening ABC's broadcast licenses, days after Donald Trump and Melania Trump demanded they fire Jimmy Kimmel. This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Mr. President: Read the Constitution. Freedom of speech is the First Amendment for good reason.

@CruiZe427 @Prowl8413 It is a private vote. No one knows who is first or last or what the percentage is when you vote.

@Prowl8413 If 49.99999999% already picked red, you’re the last vote. Congrats you just killed half the planet by pushing red “Oh they deserve to die they should be smarter” so you’re pro eugenics then?

This is a test of selfishness and lack of care for others. If you puck blue, you want everyone to live. If you pick red, you dont care that people who picked blue die. There is no other way to argue this. Statistically you cant get more than like 70% of people to agree on almost anything, so picking red, youre ok with wiping out like 30%+ of people. Its easy to make that choice when you don't know who the 30% is. This shows a lack of empathy, and forethought, because surely you will have some family members, your mom, brother, niece, etc that pick blue, and had you known that consequence beforehand, you would have chosen different. This sort of experiment seems benign, but its a glimpse at how the 45% or so of people actually feel about the 55% that chose correctly. They will sell you down the river quick if they dont know you personally, but then play ignorant/stupid when the consequences hit them personally.

@yaghsizian @Prowl8413 That isn't a clean analogy because of how the game was setup. It would be more like saying, someone might jump into the river so half of our group needs to jump in now so we can form a chain across it to catch anyone else that jumps in.

@Prowl8413 Basically this, assuming red is the rational choice, you have to assume someone will irrationally pick blue (fall in the river) do you save them with a human chain or sit on the shore and just say they are stupid for falling and everyone else is stupid for trying to save them
