i cannot appreciate their design at all. i dont like the font, the always grey, the dominant apple logo, the sooo old style shadows under the covers, the tiny control elements.... i dont know. apple design starts to look a little old. but thats maybe just me.

Trackpads and mice don't require large control elements. I'm sure if Microsoft wasn't trying to make Windows 8 a one-stop shop for both touch and mice, it'd still have smaller control elements as well.

well thats for people like you and me - but i know tons of people, either unskilled with mice or little disadvanted in sight that appreciate the little bigger control elements. especially with the big screens and high resolution nowadays control elements have to increase in size.

i tried a macbook pro with that retina and my gf and I decided that such a high resolution with such tiny control elements are not comfortable at all. but yeh, in the end no big deal.

I have no idea why, but my MiniPlayer isn't showing the artist and song info, just the play/pause/rewind controls. Every review I've read said that the latter is only supposed to appear on a mouseover. It doesn't seem to be based on size, either, I've had the MiniPlayer both as small and as large as you can have it, and it's just not showing up.

Same here - it seems to be a bug when you have full keyboard access enabled for all controls under system preferences -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts. I hope they fix it sooner than later as osx is so much more keyboard friedly with this option turned on.

With zero iOS device, I still tried this on Windows because I'm interested in the UI :p (yeah, I know :D )

After removing as much stuff that will not be used as possible, I'm left with just iTunes itself and I like it. I'll probably use this as my main player for a while.

Well found another Bug they will want to address in the near future..

Now what I'd like to see is the option for a dark background to make a return.. I'm not a fan on the white bg..

Other than that, I'm quite happy with it.

Weird. :p Have you tried it again? It might have been a one-off bug since it's basically loading a web page there.

The broken search works if you ignore the bubble thing that comes up while typing and press enter, where it works the same as it used to, annoying yes, but still better than living without a proper search,

If you click the search icon arrow you can turn off "Search Entire Library". This will mean it searches within what ever view your using.

Is that what you mean?

Not at all, did you read my post?

1. Enter your search term in the search box, and after the last character press ENTER

2. The search appears in the same way it always used to

thus:

Note that changing your search term while in the view shown in screenshot 2 will break the display entirely until you change view. BUG

The new context menu style looks good. But I thought they made a perfectly usable UI messy and confusing.

Can't say it's messy nor confusing, just different. Apple just released it, give them some time to work out the kinks and incorporate user feedback.

^^ haha "Apple" and "Incorporate User feedback" should not be used together.

Yet Apple released quite a few updates in the past addressing interface complaints from its userbase. Hell, the entire Aqua interface saw multiple revisions largely based on feedback.

    • Zen Browser 1.21b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam"

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.

      But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)

      He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
