Were these Windows 7 bugs fixed in Windows 8?


Recommended Posts

For those of you who are running Windows 8 can you tell me if these 2 bugs in Windows 7 were fixed in Windows 8?

(Bug 1) The Red X button under Device Manager hardware list flickers

(Bug 2) When you drag a window like Windows explorer to the right the UI near the top right corner starts to tear off.

Hmmm... never got any of these in W7 myself, much less in W8!

Its there you just are not looking in the right plase :)

Those bug don't exists in 7, your Windows installation is probably messed up (sounds like bad gpu drivers to me).

Not true

I know because when I went to Best buy everyone of there computers does it too.

Bug 1: even tho I've never experienced it in Windows 7, it's not present in the WDP

Bug 2: I don't understand :(

EDIT:

Bug 1: Ah, I just found out what you're talking about. Yes, the problem is still present in WDP.

still don't get Bug 2, tho :(

Not having any of these issues with Windows 7 64bit SP1.

Like I'd trust Best Buy to keep their display computer updated with the latest patches and drivers :)

I think these bugs may be unique to you only.

Like I have an iPod 4, and when I installed iOS5, some features in Opera Mini browser stop working. And no else got this problem with the same hardware and software.

And also when I go to Spotlight search, it always gets stuck for a moment. Unique to me.

And and on Windows 7, I got this strange bug that whenever I turned on my PC, IE9 opened automatically. I have two other PCs, and this issue happened to with only this one.

Though after 4 days, this "useful" bug stopped showing up.

So this problem may only be unique to you and some other people, and it may also be temporary, like in my case. :)

I will upload a video :)

Thanks. That'll be helpful. :)

@FMH, the first bug (at least) isn't unique to him. If you go into device manager then right-click on one of the things on the list then properties, then hover your cursor over the red X button and watch really carefully and the X button kind of gets selected and unselected once every few seconds.

It happens to me in IE9 sometimes.

Bug 2 does not show up very wel on the video I made so I will not upload it.

However if you open My Computer window and starting dragging the window from the border moving your mouse to the right you should see what looks like the window tearing off a little bit.

It reallty hard to explain.

Yeah bug 1 exists in Windows 7, it is old news. You people didn't try it before responding...

Thanks you for conforming

Does sit also happen in Windoes 8?

video of "bug 2" here :

Bug 2 he talks about is minor, nothing like in that video, at least for me, the only place I see some tearing is by the explorer search bar and the command bar under it, nothing drastic like in that video, but on the other hand that video is pretty outdated already.

Yes the tearing near the search bar is what I mean :)

Not a "BUG" I I would say is a feature--

The Shadow of the mouse is what you are seeing and if you turn that off in the effects the "BUG" will disappear.

If you notice there is a highlight under your mouse before you "mouse over" the close "X" which follows you to the Close "X"

The same effect can also be seen if you mouse over the start menu orb where it highlights itself to show it can be selected.

In earlier Windows such as XP that effect was called mouse spotlight.

It is not selecting and deselecting anything but showing you it is a click-able item.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
