Honestly if they have dirt on any of the current generation on either side now would be a good time to nuke them all from orbit. Plenty of time for the next generation to form before 2028

Surely hating everyone in America isn’t the answer

This extension looks fantastic. Good job guys

What if the substance was only one part iron?

Beesszzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Oh summer child

The virtue of a knife law is that if you’re caught with it, you’re subjected to it. People carry them around 364 days or the year without problem, if the one time you stabbed a guy that’s the issue. So a law making it harder the rest of the time seems wise, as it would reduce the chances

I have to check this out

You guys are admonishing Microsoft for investing in good improvements. Your preferences aren’t the issue, it’s your framing of any change as aggressively bad without justification that I take issue with. Other than you not personally using the feature, you have no justification whatsoever for your complaints. It’s just ignorant whining, and it only serves to set back an OS that desperately needs the overhaul. This whole sub seems fucked, it’s not just you.

EDIT: I’ve given this some thought and arrived at a POV where I may have been too hard on you. Maybe there’s a need that speaks to folks like yourselves, who are tech savvy enough that you’re on a Lemmy instance but really just want a prototypical Windows experience. To my mind, that’s crazy but here we are so I must be wrong on that front. I admit there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, it’s just annoying you’re in the same user base I am - someone who wants Windows to improve finally. Maybe we can agree that Microsoft should just go back to Windows 95 and cater to you guys, and leave modern computing to the professionals.

How am I subjecting you to my preferences? Phone Companion disappears if it’s disabled, you’re upset because Microsoft added icon groups. How dare they upgrade your operating system, the monsters. In a world where they could have plastered it with ads, no less!

Pretty sure the bar goes away when you don’t use Phone Link! I use Phone Link, as you should too assuming you own a phone. I like it because that + the iCloud app basically brings feature parity to my Macs built-in Phone integrations. The simping over Windows is bizarre, it’s like you guys are pissed that Windows 2000 isn’t still supported, come join us in the 21st century please. “Any feature I don’t personally use is pointless and bloat” is a childs argument.

You can see your phones status and recent messages from the start menu now! More start menu icons are exposed in the space they’ve added an organization mechanism. I think the point is to improve its usefulness

I genuinely don’t understand what more people could want in a start menu, just needlessly against all forward momentum and change?

I like the Phone Companion bar too. The folder grid is reminiscent of Windows 8 and is a nod to iOS… I guess haters gonna hate, but this seems like a nice improvement.

Comparing it to a Shield or Apple TV it’s clear how weak it was. In fairness, seems like they could just sell both but of course it’s important that Google have a performant offering

I’d rather my TV run smoothly, crippling performance to save $40 is not something I’m interested in, personally.

So dramatic, it looks like a decent upgrade! The last device was laggy anyways

For accuracy, flip Windows and Mac in that diagram

Agreed, we need to get the Secret Service to clean up their act before we end up risking the life of some better President!

People push back against Trump on a near constant basis, pointing out Biden’s flaws isn’t an endorsement of Trump.
