  1. Edge and Chrome PWAs will soon look more like native apps

    Lol, "just a browser tab", like modern web browser aren't by far the most successful method of cross platform application development that has ever existed. Is VSCode "just a browser tab" to you too?

    Oh man, good old old XP times! I loved that OS so much and still remember my excitement while waiting for the installation to finish. XP felt so fresh and modern back then. Oh by the way I'd love to share some Windows XP movies I shared few years ago here at Neowin: Definitely check them out to get that extra 2001 vibe Enjoy!

  4. Edge and Chrome PWAs will soon look more like native apps

    Ummmm A PWA should have less overhead than using the website in the browser and sometimes even using the app. Regardless, what ancient machine are you using that you are worried about the "overheard" of a PWA or the browser?

  5. AdDuplex: Almost 30% of Windows 10 PCs are now on version 20H2

    AdDuplex is a cross-promotion network. A few Microsoft Store apps use AdDuplex's API to display promotions. So, the AdDuplex stats correspond to a tiny population of Windows users who use those apps. It claims to have surveyed 80,000, which is pathetic. As of March 2020, there were one billion active Windows 10 devices.

    Yes, further disguise the fact that the crap is just a browser tab with more overhead.

  9. Hello, Um… maybe? I know there was a rush of security software purchases as businesses struggled to equip their employees with laptops for remote work in 2020, which required things like antivirus/antimalware/internet security/endpoint detection and response/{insert vendor term du jour here}, encryption, VPN and backup software (to name a few) but with those new purchases out of the way, budgets should be shifting towards maintenance of those new licenses, plus cybersecurity education for employees. A remote workforce is going to experience more social engineering by nature of not having face to face interactions with colleagues and more likely to think that phone calls, spoofed emails, and so forth are legitimate. While there may be new spending required for security, it is not necessarily going to be a huge percentage over last year's, due to 2020's unique challenges of setting up remote work forces.

    I never really saved screenshots. All I could find was this old photo from my parents' house in 2002 of my brand new copy of Windows XP installing for the very first time.

    30.05.02 - Windows Me with a Windows XP icon pack: 07.03.03 - Final screenshot of our families very first PC before installing some hardware upgrades - I think this was a Blackcomb inspired theme and a program by Stardock to change the mouse pointer to look like a waterdrop: 16.03.04 - Windows 2000 on a college computer - I seem to remember we had to create an interactive Kiosk in Macromedia Director for one of our coursework assignments, I believe you could click on the logo for the consoles and you'd be shown a list of games you could read more about and see various screenshots. Also playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 from a USB pen drive, at the time we'd discovered our college would allow any .exe to run from usb flash drives (which were relatively new in 2004) so we used to bring small network capable games in and play them in free periods. 21.03.08 - Stress testing the 733mhz overclock on my Core2Duo E4500: I've got quite a few random old screenshots, so I've tried to share a variety from older operating systems.

    A blast from the past, 19 November 2002 when we were leaking info about Windows Longhorn. I had a look around but I can't find anything immediately older but I probably do have stuff in other folders.

  23. Then you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem! if I had a card to sell, if it was old i'd sell it for what I think it was actually worth, not what the going scalp price is. I just sold a 1060 6GB for $200. Going for $375 on eBay. Almost still felt bad... I still have an RX580 Red Devil, but need another to replace it and not paying for that. Got an open box TUF Gaming 6800 for $729. Nice. Time to pack up and sell the 1070 that’s sitting in my drawer doing nothing. I'll buy it from ya for $100 No problem. + $1000 shipping $1,100 for a 1070 LOL? They're going for between 500 and 650 on eBay. NewEgg third party sellers have 2060's for over 800 bucks. A 3060 is listed for $2k. Friggin nuts. Thought last year I would be rocking a 5950 with a 3080ti about right now....but nope. Guess my 980ti and 3770k have to last another year. Which is fine...just hope they don't fail before supply becomes "normal" again. Tired of all these articles about GPUs which you can't purchase anyway...

  24. Sorry but what are you attempting to say me a few post back ?? Seriously, if you are going to argue with me that your "language is just fine" and that I'm the one that "doesn't get it", then this is ongoing hilarity! You made some really weird point that makes very little sense because of how you've made it. If you can't make it properly, then please - do give it a rest!

  25. AdDuplex: Almost 30% of Windows 10 PCs are now on version 20H2

    Not all of them; just those that suffer from sampling bias, like this one. First, each sample must have sufficient size to be able to represent the entire group. 80,000 out of 1,000,000,000 is too small. That's 0.008%! Second, the sampling must not be selective. For example, it is okay to have a sample of one million Japanese represent the people of Japan, but it is not okay if that sample is taken entirely from the United States. It is okay to have a sample of car owners, but it is not okay if that sample is chosen from the owners of Rolls Royce or Mercedes Benz Maybach; these are super-expensive cars. In this case, AdDuplex cannot and does not account for Microsoft's enterprise customers (i.e. the bulk of Microsoft customers) because of how they install apps. AdDuplex fails on both accounts, aside from its opacity resulting from not sharing its dataset.

  26. I feel the opposite. I played GTA a few times and could never get into it. I find Cyberpunk much more fun. I've been playing since launch with no game-breaking bugs on PC. A few visual glitches and some funny interactions with vehicles exploding when I spawn in, etc..

  27. See it first before believing , CDPR list all that fixes because it's what has been reported ,not because they were really aware or ready to revise all those bugs. I bet the game it's still crappy as hell , mainly because the biggest problem now is that no matter how good they try to make it , it will never go against the expectations they created for it. Sincerely IMHO it's a good game , but not that brilliant. Good story etc but lacks much more compelling narrative to it in order to allow to continue this. As an example GTA V Wich I totally understand the comparisons out there is much better in almost all aspects , withe exceptions to graphics , but we are talking of a dev difference in years.

    You went all-in on the Nvidia skin, didn't you? *Sigh* Remember when we thought that looked awesome? Unfortunately I don't think I've got any screenshots older than December, maybe September if I jump on to Linux. I've not really considered making time capsules.

  37. These companies responded to the NASA CLD solicitation. Seeing SpaceX is no surprise. Notable absence: Bigelow. SpaceX could, of course, provide transportation but Starship could be a returnable laboratory on its own. If return isn't an issue, such as docking several to a node, Starship HLS (lunar) has the nose docking port and dual airlocks with a common suit prep room. Extra points if there are ways to open the upper and common domes to create more volume.

    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.

    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.
