  4. RGB masks now? Horrendous! I truly despise the RGB craze going on. It’s even hard to buy high end hardware nowadays without that abomination included. I tried 6 months ago, on a $3000 build. Nope, I have to deal with those stupid lights.

  6. I hope this "major overhaul" delivers more than just an undocking of the start menu from the corner of the screen by a few pixels. I struggle to see any other changes in the mockup image above that would constitute being labelled "major".

    What an interesting FUD, particularly since Telegram moved from Russia for the very reason to not have to comply with Putin's bullcr@p.

  12. Got the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine

    Hi All, Just a PSA, As a front line health care worker, I received the 1st of two COVID vaccines last Wednesday. I wanted to get it due to my age and exposure to COVID-19 patients on a daily basis. I must say that despite a sore arm and one day of some malaise, I feel fine. Going back for #2 dose during the first week of January. I am extremely grateful for the many scientists, researchers, and volunteers who did the research on this vaccine. I am blessed to be one of the first to get it and encourage others to do the same. Yes, there were two (so far) who had reactions, but this is expected in a huge population getting the vaccine. There will be a few who don't tolerate it. Please consider getting whatever vaccine is offered to you. COVID-19 is no joke and the residual effects are horrid. Best always to all of my fellow Neowinians this holiday season!

  13. But please refrain from using this archaic, outdated form of address. It belongs to the Victorian era; nowadays, it's just tacky and sexist. Ahem. Like "Ladies and Gentlemen", "good sir or madam" is precisely the OPPOSITE of "sexist", by definition. I'm making sure I am addressing a man or a woman, instead of making an assumption (typically male, patriarchal). So, no, I'll use it whenever and wherever I want. Especially when I want to be extra polite and/or formal (with a hint of funny), which is what I was actually doing. Meanwhile, please refrain from posting with a stick up your keister.

  23. Telegram now has more than 500 million active users

    i DOUBT IT. it has NOTHING to do with your conservative stuff, and mass exodus from Twitter and ###### down parler. don't kid yourself. Have you read the article? Guess NOT. 94% of the new users are NOT from USA. It is about something else, Whatsapp changing the terms and conditions to share you data with Facebook. This is a completely different GLOBAL issue for Whatsapp users all around the world. Nothing to do with anything else happening in USA,. So, no, you assessment is very distant from truth.

    Zero chance of that - Durov is a billionaire already, duck if he need Zuckerbergs money! He was already MEGA rich when he started this messenger, this is not his golden egg. ;) While he managed to avoid pressure even from the govenments to open up, i cannot guarantee it will stay the same, but there is a good chance! and i think there is 0 reason to sell to facebook, as the who platform started against i

  36. Why do you think the ribbon API hasn't been utilised much since 2007?

    Aside from Microsoft programs, the API hasn't had much use. This topic was triggered by me seeing how many options are in the menus within Adobe Photoshop 2020. The Edit menu alone has 30 or so options, many with sub-options. With Photoshop, it may be workflow-related. Still, it's a shame more programs didn't adopt it.

  37. Just get decouple the GUI altogether and give us something like Server Core, home edition; everyone can install whatever Desktop Environment they like Aero, Metro, Luna, Classic; and their own choice of apps Media Player, Windows Live Photos, etc. or Groove, Photos app, etc. Everyone's happy.

    Little late to this but needed to come out of lurking to just say congrats @Barney T. on receiving both doses of the vaccine! I can only imagine how stressful work is right now and hopefully this is the first step in things returning back to normal for you.

  40. Elite Dangerous: Odyssey expansion delayed out of early 2021

    This is how Star Citizen should have been developed! They focused on one aspect, space flight, and released that as a solid game. While we've been having fun playing with that they've been working on this, a whole new aspect. I can't wait to give this a go!

  45. Part of the problem here is, you ban one person while allowing others to keep posting the same kind of hate and unrest. Rules need to be applied to all who violate them at the time the violation occurs. Not when the ###### has already hit the fan.

    No offense at all. Everyone has to decide for themselves. I would stress that I've seen the ravages of this disease and have zipped up my share of body bags. It's no disease to take lightly. No politics, no fictitious info. Just facts.

  49. A Blonde joke

    An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland arrived at a casino in Australia. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet $25,000 on a single roll of the dice. She said “I hope you don’t mind but I feel much luckier when I’m completely nude” With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled “Come on baby, mama needs new clothes!” As the dice came to a stop she yelled “YES! YES!, I WON! I WON!” She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed. The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally one of them asked “What did she roll?” The other answered “I don’t know, I thought you were watching”
