Vivaldi browser gets a full-blown Notes Manager in the latest update
ParadiseLost and 2 others reacted to RejZoR for a topic
Sure, having all the settings in the world can be overwhelming, but on the other hand, you don't want fiasco Mozilla pulled with Firefox 75 and 77 where they stuck some idiotic oversized URL bar that pops up every time you click it and refuse to give users simple control over it. They are so dumb and arrogant about it they basically ###### off half of the remaining userbase with it and only way currently to turn off that garbage is to code CSS file, set a hidden switch in hidden settings and it'll go away. ######ing lunacy. I'd rather have overwhelming settings that give me simple control over that any day. And Vivaldi has that. Only thing that bothers me is that Protonmail (Unofficial) extension doesn't remember the login no matter what I tried and thus I can't use it. Also they currently don't have any app for iOS so no bookmarks syncing on my phone... They are allegedly working on it but release is still unknown. When they fix these two things, I'm probably switching. It was crude browser ages ago, but it has improved nicely since.3 points -

Tried Vivaldi after every big update and all the articles praising it. Never got into it. It feels sluggish and gives an electron app vibe while using it.

Your linked article doesn't mention the CEO's salary. It mentions the chairperson Mitchell Baker, who is the highest-paid person and gets $1m per annum. And it mentions Tim Cook, who receives $102m per annum! Aside from that, there is a minimum salary law. And nobody is going to cut the salary of a CEO just because you enjoy being a freeloader.2 points -

Protester bled from his ear after being shoved by police — cops say he ‘tripped’
+Raze and one other reacted to +primortal for a topic
Again, I'm not complaining about them calling the medic. I'm pointing out the fact the cop could careless the damage he did by violently knocking the guy down. IMHO that is wrong. How is it an uncommon situation? Man walks up to a cop a few seconds later gets knocked on his ass, hard for no reason. I agree common sense varies between people but here we are with you arguing with me that my common sense is wrong and yours is right. From a different angle, How is pointing out the facts and asking a question is moving the "goalpost" and resorting to splitting hairs? Where did I make up motivations? Did the cop stop to see if the guy he knocked down is ok or not? Did one cop stop another cop from assisting or not? All I'm pointing out is (the lack of) human decency. If someone fell down next to you, would continue to walk away, or stop and see if that person is ok?2 points -
Protester bled from his ear after being shoved by police — cops say he ‘tripped’
+Raze and one other reacted to LakeRat for a topic
Both of the cops that pushed him down had bodycams on them. I would think that if that video and audio justified their actions, that it would be released. It might surprise you that I am a fervent supporter of police officers. Heck, I even own a Blue Lives Matter flag. I am definitely *not* flying that flag right now. If evidence materializes that shows the police actions were justified, I will support them. At this point, I have not seen anything that excuses their actions.2 points -

I would think that it is pretty well impossible to use bluetooth to tell the difference between two devices, I do not think that is the reason they are giving up on their version, I believe it is because the app needs an Android phone close by to wake up an Iphone. They mucked up in the first place by going the other way and loads of people said because of that they will not install it, myself i still won't install it.1 point -

Files UWP is a new modern file explorer app for Windows 10
Nas reacted to waysidesc for a topic
The way they evolved NTFS seems to return inaccurate aggregate folder size calculations -- "seems" is the keyword, I don't know exactly why but i vaguely recall similar discussions back in the Windows Longhorn days. Thats more trickier than any illiterate user can imagine, as there are at least 2 different sizes that should be displayed: 1 is the true size of the files, and the 2nd value would be the ALLOCATED size. Why these 2 differ? Because filesystem cluster allocation wastes some disk space (gets more visible if you store thousands of very small files), and the other more relevant reason is hardlinking of the same file into multiple instances: the file physically occupies storage space only 1 time, but virtually can be represented as multiple copies each taking up the full storage space, when in fact its not happening, but misleads the illiterate user in a split second. Thatswhy they think the WinSXS folder under c:\windows is so f.ing huge. But when you observer its folder size, you see the huge difference between REPORTED size and ACTUAL allocated space on disk. Thank you for the reminders (allocation v. actual, WinSXS) which greatly impact the common "file/folder size" discussion. I still hold out hope that widget-based Windows Explorer (concept developed during Longhorn) might actually return, so that we may customize any info panels based on the views/widgets we wish to add (e.g. disk management and NTFS flags visible from a small-size "File/Folder Info" panel). Longhorn is dead. There was no real reason we could not have had that information in live tiles on Start or theoretically somehow on the desktop. During the Longhorn dev cycle, they tried to cram all kinds of edge cases into the underlying NTFS... then start tinkering with UIs afterwards. Naturally that didn't pan out. Nowadays, they'd been working with ReFS (NTFS v.Future) to provide various extensibilities... so a redeveloped Windows Explorer could easily support both local-FS and remote-FS widgets... concepts they're already experimenting on with OneDrive's native Windows support. Well, yes, with their stupid so-called file system ambitions and all. The corporation actually had a lot of the other functionality without that ... but ah, well ... I think NTFS would be sufficient for what you describe.1 point -

The first official Android 11 Beta is now available
Nogib reacted to PGHammer for a topic
That waiting was due to your choice of ODM - not Google. While OneUI was POSSIBLE for even the Samsung S7 Snapdragon, it was never developed for it (I have an S7 Snapdragon, and I was involved in the testing of a merged version of the stock S7 and S8 stock ROMs; therefore, I can state categorically that OneUI was possible for the S7 - simply by basing it on the code for the S8 - which the S7 had NO problems running). That mess forced me to SHELVE my S7 Snapdragon (it's still on the shelf) last year - and replace it with a Pixel 3a. Rather oddly, I planned on skipping Android 11 beta 1 (after running the last two Developer Previews) due to a vulnerability shared by Android 10 AND Android 11's previews (to malware injection); however, Bliss 12.8 has its first flaw EVER (I had no issues with Bliss 12.6 or 12.7); however. 12.8 has issues with Google Phone - a fatal flaw for a phone ROM though I WAS able to replace the dialer with another one. Because I need a dialer (this IS a phone, after all), it's off to 11 beta 1 I go.1 point -

The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is rolling out to more people today
Skyfrog reacted to ad47uk for a topic
Sure, if they never changed anything, everything would work fine. You'd also have a worse performing and less secure device. If that's what you want, go back to Windows 7 or 8.1. How did you get "if they never changed anything" from his post? Testing their updates better and not rushing them out before they're ready doesn't mean "no updates ever". Was it rushed out before it was ready? It worked perfectly for a whole lot of people. A couple known issues does not mean it was rushed, it means some people shouldn't force the update (and, for a lot of those people, it wouldn't have downloaded on its own.) I have heard few complaints about this update from anyone that didn't just love complaining. Oh come on, Windows 10 was rushed at the very start, that is why things are being added still after all this time. The reason it was rushed was because Windows 8 failed and Ms did not want Windows 7 to become another Windows XP, in which people hung onto it for years, that did not go so well, people still hung onto Windows 7, maybe not for as long as XP, but then people did not get vista or 8 pushed onto them like they have done with Windows 10. MS really should stop pushing out so many updates, maybe then they may get an update out with no problems, but I will not hold my breath. Saying that I am now running the 2004 version and it is fine here, but only when I done a clean install, when I updated it was as slow as anything.1 point -

Microsoft Edge 83.0.478.45 (offline installer)
James W. reacted to KaoDome for a topic
x64 version of all Chromium browsers including Chrome, installs into x86 folder. That was a known issue for years, Google doesn't fix it. I sent a feedback to Edge team for that months ago but they did nothing, maybe it's a Chromium problem. Opera doesn't, the 64-bit version is installed to the right folder when installed system-wide. I'd say it has more to do with them not caring about it than anything else, since it works just fine the way it's installed now. Besides, all making an installer that chooses the right folder is trivial Consistency seems unimportant for many devs. Opera's installation destination is not even Program Files (x86 or x64) folder. Default destination is C:\Users[system profile]\AppData\ And that isn't the right folder either, and it's odder. True, it does work just fine although it's a pear in the apple basket. And Google/Microsoft being just lazy to fix it. If Microsoft seperated x64 and x86 folders, I wonder why it would let x64 programs into x86 folder. If those folders are not different, why seperated them in the first place. By the way, I never seen any other program installing itself into wrong Program Files folder before. You had me double check but yep, the installer creates a folder in %ProgramFiles% when the installation is for all users and in %LocalAppData% for an installation per user: https://giphy.com/gifs/dZdz2zP3mTPrsym1hg" rel="external nofollow">https://giphy.com/gifs/dZdz2zP3mTPrsym1hg Seems appropriate to me, standard users may not have access to other locations and things in %LocalAppData% don't get roamed as the name implies. Off the top of my head I don't recall any pure 64-bit app that was installed to %ProgramFiles(x86)% instead, but I've seen many that ship with both 32 and 64-bit binaries and the go over there by default. Probably I didn't pay attention and just installed it as default, so wasn't aware of that fact. Thank you. I don't install many programs, but as I just checked, all x64 programs are in Program Files, and all x86 are in Program Files (x86). That's why having x64 Chromium browsers -except Opera- in Program Files (x86) bothers me. And why these browsers still don't fix it, shouldn't be that difficult. Certainly! More over when those environmental variables point to the right location already. Since they have different installers for 32 and 64-bit builds they should just use %ProgramFiles% by default (and maybe add a check in the 32-bit installer to see if the OS is 64-bit and then use %ProgramFiles(x86)%). I wonder why they use the wrong folder to begin with, conscious decision or it just happened?1 point
