Microsoft releases Windows 10 build 19043.1023 with News and interests

Microsoft has nothing to do with updating your computer. It's the operating system that they created that does the updating. Microsoft just provides the update. The correct way to say it is "Windows will fail". Anyway, to even make a post like this show how much hate you have towards Microsoft or the updating process. You might want to take a chill pill.5 points -

WhatsApp sues Indian government over new Intermediary Guidelines
H4Wk3ye and 3 others reacted to MS Bob 11 for a topic
Indian govt has been demanding to spy on citizens via WhatsApp for a long time. This is just the latest development. Even before WhatsApp introduced encryption, law enforcement here was requesting a backdoor and WhatsApp refused. They fought Blackberry too in 2008 and wanted backdoor access to its encrypted communications, coming close to banning the service.4 points -

Microsoft says Edge 91 will be the best-performing browser on Windows 10
RandPC and 2 others reacted to Mike Steel for a topic
The whole idea that "this app starts faster...when we preload it before you even use it" is just stupid. It takes up resources by loading bits that the user might not use at all. So basically your computer uses more resources and loads Windows slower...but you get a simple app then faster? Why not stop there Microsoft, preload everything from MS Paint and Notepad to Office apps! Just in case!3 points -

eddman and 2 others reacted to BimBamSmash for a topic
Nadella is the man behind "Software As A Service" and "Cloud First, Mobile First" movements at Microsoft. When he gets excited about something, I can only think of more stuff getting pushed to Azure, more subscriptions, and less ownership. I am still expecting that in a future not so long from now, PCs as we know them will be no more. They will become something akin to Thin or Zero clients, and the bulk of the processing will be done in the cloud - for a subscription fee, of course. The arrival of streaming game services more than reinforces this idea.3 points -

European Eco Rating scheme launched to help you pick the greenest phone
GeXeH and 2 others reacted to Ccl Ncc for a topic
This initiative means nothing till they held the biggest polluters, which are the large manufactures, accountable for cleaning up after making the devices. User are usually going to stick with main stream fancy brands, the manufactures should be held responsible for low lasting devices, and for not providing an easy way to fix the issue without needing a completely new phone (right to repair). They should be the one held accountable for reusing or decomposing the parts of old phone as general users don't have the right tools. 5 people reading their "eco rating" will never fix anything.3 points -

When I hear stuff like this about Windows, it brings back those warm and fuzzy feelings when Whistler leaks and Longhorn leaks would happen. Now having rare builds doesn't have the same hook, since they dish them out through testing channels for anyone who wants them.

Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase set for Sunday, June 13
Simie and one other reacted to George P for a topic
I see some people calling the 90min time as short. But I believe it's the sweet spot, the event is digital so you can move through it quicker, have gameplay video after video with little talking between. I also expect them to have smaller Inside Xbox deep dives into things they show after the event like always, where they talk to the developers directly. I don't know how many titles they'll show, as long as what they do show has people interested it'll be a success. *Edit* It's also been pointed out that the planet in the picture is the exact same one from the original Starfield teaser video. Starfield confirmed at the show now.2 points -

Microsoft says Edge 91 will be the best-performing browser on Windows 10

What a shock. Thanks for sharing. You are welcomed. It does what I need and don't want to send data back to MS or Google. But you're sending data to Mozilla, which in turn sells it to Google, in other words, this is why one of the two reasons why Google sponsors Firefox' existence - to buy their collected data and the other reason is to have an inferior browser as competition so they can't be called a monopoly. If you want to keep your data away from Google or Microsoft, use Brave, Vivaldi, Kinza or Cent Browser.2 points -

Maybe a return to something more like WIndows-7? The concept of a simple, intuitive, easy to use, reliable OS seems to have been forgotten over the past 6-8 years. Tacking on all sorts of features has made Windows-10 bloated, non-intuitive, and much less reliable. Needless complexity creates needless problems.2 points -

MS Bob 11 and one other reacted to Geezy for a topic
I'm not excited. They didn't even finish the current visual overhaul of Windows, and they break the visual consistency with their own products such as Office. They are also screwing up keyboard navigation and shortcuts worse than it already is, screwing up efficiency as well as task automation in GUI apps. I feel like this will be more of the same decline. "welcome every creator who is looking for the most innovative, new, open platform to build[,] distribute[,] and monetize applications. We look forward to sharing more very soon." They're probably excited because this new distribution and monetization framework probably involves MS taking a cut from transactions.2 points -

Malisk and one other reacted to George P for a topic
It sounds like they're ready to drop the "10" and go with new branding. He just calls it "Windows" a few times, and we all know these things are went over multiple times so the wording is intentional. Now they either drop the 10 and it's just Windows 21H2, or they finally decided to go to 11. Or maybe we're going to bring back some whacky names like XP or Vista again? You never know with them. Personally I'd like to see a return to version numbers that make some sort of sense. So 11.0.xxxxx. Then maybe we can actually start to use x.1.xxxxx numbering again? Some of these version numbers they have, like for apps for example are just bonkers, it's some weird miss-mash of version+date all in some crazy long string.2 points -

New monitors. I finally got rid of my 3x 27" HP 27FW 1080p monitors (donated to local school) for 3x MSI 27" Optix MAG272CQR 1440p 165hz. I was apprehensive about curved monitors at first. I think a single 27" curved monitor would be hard to get along with, but for a triple monitor setup arch and head swivel feels quite natural. Also, going from 75hz to 165hz is a game changer. Everything is buttery smooth and my 2080 Ti stills seems to have the grunt to run beyond 4K res playable. Before and after below, rest of setup on bottom of page 3. Before: After:2 points -

Bill signed to prevent Florida politicians from being 'deplatformed' on social media
yair reacted to KNIGHT for a topic
You're correct in that it deals when candidates and not politicians in general. That's why those provisions in the Bill wouldn't have applied to Trump. He wasn't a candidate when he was banned. However, later in the bill the wording for much of the rest of it extends to all Floridians. Candidates or not. Starting on page 14, line 404. Didn't Trump move to Florida recently permanently which would make him a Floridian? Yes, but that wouldn't have prevented him from being banned, etc. Only candidates get that protection as long as they are candidates or a journalistic enterprise. For normal Floridians, including Trump, there is just reporting and honesty in advertising standards. Can still get banned. Content can still be removed. Social media platforms: - Must publish the standards used to determine how they censor/deplatform/shadow ban - Must apply censorship/deplatforming/shadow banning in a consistent manner - Must inform each users of rule/term/agreement changes with 30 day notice - May not censor/shadow ban a user’s content/material or deplatform a user without notification - Must allow users access to who was provided or shown the user’s content/posts - Must categorize algorithms used for post-prioritization/shadow banning - Must allow a user to opt out of post-prioritization/shadow banning algorithm categories and re-offer this opt-out yearly - Must allow sequential or chronological posts/content - Must provide users with an annual notice on the use of algorithms for post-prioritization/shadow banning - Must allow a user who has been deplatformed to access/retrieve all of the user’s information/content/material/data for at least 60 days after banning - May not take any action to censor/deplatform/shadow ban a journalistic enterprise based on the content of its publication or broadcast - May not deplatform a political candidate as long as they are a candidate - Must provide a way to identify political candidates. i.e. Blue Checkmark1 point -

spikey_richie reacted to Good Bot, Bad Bot for a topic
They should go with Linux. Windows 21.04 Call me old fashioned, I miss simple version numbers. There would've been nothing wrong with having 10.1, 10.2 etc. Going with something like 21H1 does make sense because new Windows versions are released twice a year and that format tells you exactly when that version was released. Using 10.1, 10.2, etc makes more sense with software that doesn't have a set release schedule. Saying that, at end of the day... Version numbers don't really matter all that much. It's not really advertised to consumers and for 99% of people, they just know are running Windows 10 (or Windows). Us more advanced users can figure out whatever version scheme a developer is using.1 point
