  1. Windows 10 is getting all-new icons in the File Explorer

    Oh that's lovely. I like!! Tasteful and (at least for the special folder icons), helps to visually distinguish one folder from the other. Is not a pointless and ugly visual redesign.

  5. Windows 10 is getting all-new icons in the File Explorer

    This is really great. Anything would have been great compared to that listless MetroUI. Just waiting for tiles to disappear completely. For those who don't want to enroll in Insider Program but still want to try out the new build, https://m.majorgeeks.com/files...s/offlineinsiderenroll.html Enroll to Dev Channel, reboot and run Windows Update. If you don't like the build or Store Games like Forza Horizon 4 are not launching, revert back.

    Glad we're finally getting past the basic color schemes and metro UI design.

About a decade ago there was a sheep extension that let you intercept people's Facebook and use their account because it was using a http connection. https://www.neowin.net/news/fi...acebook-twitter-and-flickr/

  9. Uh, no, I'd be pretty surprised if NVIDIA has secured enough 5nm manufacturing capacity for this — and even if they had, I'd be surprised if they would use it on Switch chips. When the Switch came out, it used the Maxwell architecture even though Pascal was available (they started a generation behind "current" ... they're going to move to a generation ahead?). It's probably derived from Volta (basically Turing without the ray tracing stuff). That has been previously rumored, and Volta has tensor cores which are what is needed to enable DLSS.

  13. There are certainly reasons for some sites to enable HTTPS, and most likely those sites already have. Google has no business demanding every site confirm to their standards though. If I want to put up a special interest site somewhere, google has no right to interfere in how I want it presented, or to force me to use certificates to "make it secure". Just read the article 🤦

  15. This and Google rolling out an Android WebView update a few days ago that crippled many Android apps in Chromebooks is another example of how a proper quality assurance unit is a necessity. Companies rely far too much on public beta testers, and because there are so many of them, important bugs or missed issues like these get ignored.

    That can be changed by turning "Compact Mode" back on in File Explorer options. It's unclear whether the new default will be set to Off or not, though.

  20. Windows 10 is getting all-new icons in the File Explorer

    They need to push out the icon releases independently, allowing for faster releases because there will be minimal to no testing needed. This would also allow them to pump out multiple icon pack releases to allow more user choice. Tying limited icon updates to a Windows feature release causes them to lose priority and has been the problem with the mess that is multiple icon styles existing, even from Windows 3.1.

  22. This is designed to solve a major fraud problem where drivers (Amazon employees) will pay other people (non-Amazon employees) to drive for them, pocketing the difference and doing no work. Amazon pays its drivers $15/hr (I think). Their drivers can then pay someone else minimum wage or even less to actually drive the van and do the deliveries. The Amazon driver pockets the difference and gets 8hrs of free time to do whatever they want. These measures are designed to ensure that the person who drives the van is the same person Amazon is paying to drive the van.

  23. Unfortunately, it's their business and their vans, so if you want the job, sign the contract. Almost makes you start wishing all this technology was never invented, doesn't it? It's actually a bit more complex than that. They're not Amazon vans and you don't even technically work for Amazon. You work for one of their local distribution partners. These distribution partners contract with Amazon and either lease the vans from Amazon or own there own vehicles out right. https://logistics.amazon.com/ With all that said, yeah, its a complex situation and it isn't all that different from how FedEx drivers are treated and work. UPS drivers are better unionized and don't have these problems. I personally believe UPS provides better service because of it. Also, Amazon Flex delivery service is a different service that you can work for but that is just straight up gig economy job and has a whole other layer of complexity to it all.

  28. Microsoft are pro-privacy in general. What? They have telemetry in everything that cannot be turned off. There's no end to end encryption in ANY of it either. How is that pro privacy? lol Get news about MS from other sources that Neowin. This is hilarious, someone needs to go and open the teams electron package up. There's about 10 different telemetry options in the configuration... Guess what happens if you turn them off by adjusting the file? They turn themselves back on again. Guess what happens if you make the file read only? Teams will not open. MS invade the crap out of anyone using their services and/or software Non-issue. The privacy options in that file are set from elsewhere and so it's not surprising that the file gets overwritten or if you make it read only that it causes problems.

  31. I don't know if they're going to remove gold 100%, if they do they need something to replace it, like a lower/base tier of game pass. Right now, the whole MP paywall stuff aside, Gold gives you the free games per month and also a number of gold related discounts when you buy games, so there's still value there. If they're smart about it, a basic console only game pass option could replace it, so you get the above still minus the MP paywall stuff people have been wanting to go away. There should also be a option for streaming only game pass subs for those who don't own a console or a gaming PC but still want to play the games.

  32. Windows 10 is getting all-new icons in the File Explorer

    What a waste of resources. They just changed them. And they look ugly as hell. If I want crappy UI, I'll install Ubuntu or something. There's a buttload of stuff to fix in Windows, instead of playing with icons with every third update. Current icons are good enough.

  37. Transition from Firefox to Microsoft Edge

    I remember using Stylish to edit the Firefox top menu but that was years ago when Firefox 4 came out with that weird button menu and oversized top bar. At the time there were loads of styles to edit it, so I imagine that something like that might still work, but from doing a search I couldn't find anything immediately https://userstyles.org/

  40. Yeah, I have no idea how anyone is using Safari. They are fairly far behind on any measurement of standards compliance...HTML5 Test, Can I use, and now this. Well on iOS you are forced to use that garbage browser, and it can't be updated independently of the OS. Horrible design, horrible browser I hate Safari just like the next person, however I don't think you're forced to use it. I use Edge on my iPhone SE quite happily, makes it much easier! Sadly I still need to use IE on my work computer for a few things, but I seem to be one of the few in the office with Chromium Edge, which again is my default. I am so keen for those final websites to be updated to be usable with a browser made in the past decade. You're not using edge, you're using a safari webview. Same with all iOS web browsers, it is against apple app store T&C to have a web browser on iOS that does NOT use the in-built safari webview

  45. I can't imagine what use cases this feature could have. A presentation and a word document are two different animals. If I were Microsoft, I'd have spent my time on better things, like: - Markdown support to OneNote and Word - SVG support to Excel and PowerPoint - Refreshing the HTML export feature - Improving that catastrophic "Read Aloud" feature, which mispronounces "resumes" like "resumés".
