I know Spartan is still a WIP, but thought I'd run it by the site devs.

Why? Its a WIP, and won't be released for months, and many changes to come, how does it matter that Neowin doesn't work properly now?  use a stable browser.

I guarantee it's more the fault of IPB 3.x than anything else. remember that neowin had to apply hacks just so it would support IE10 & 11 properly

 

hopefully this should all be rectified once IPB 4 gets released with the more up-to-date editor

I can confirm that quoting in IE12 is not possible for now.

 

I tried to look in the js code, but it's such a mess, it's not worth it.

 

IE12? I thought IE11 was the last ever version of IE and was being kept as an optional extra for compatibility reasons, and Spartan (not called IE12) was becoming the new default browser? Or maybe I heard that wrong, and nobody really knows for sure what is going to happen ;)

Yes I confirm that Microsoft is dropping the IE brand. I know because I was told by a friend who has a brother who has a cousin who has uncle that is working on the Spartan project. /s

There's no need for the sarcasm. What I said has basis in the statements Microsoft have made, that IE will not be in Windows 10 by default, and will be an optional extra you can choose to add. IE is being dropped as the default browser to be replaced by Spartan, this is confirmed fact, not conjecture. The version of said optional install of IE remaining as IE11 is based on reports from Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley. Not my friend's, brother's, cousin's uncle.

If anyone in my team ever said such a thing, they would be dragged into an office for a complete tirade about their idiocy!

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • Microsoft outs Windows 11 KB5095093 with long list of new features

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
