What is Windows 8.1 S14 ?

If you took the time to Bing it:

can they kill the control panel?

I mean do legacy control apps installed by programs show up under settings?

I'd assume it'll remain for a bit for legacy purposes, but overall the goal will be to move to the settings so app.

So who is going to be the first to create a "Control Panel Is Back" or whatever. :rolleyes:

Wait wait, now it is Windows Mobile 10? Uh oh. The last one we had was 6.5, and even that wasn't so old (released/updated in circa 2009). Windows 10 Mobile/Phone would sound more appealing, but the naming could still be subject to change.

LMAO feature? please..

Do explain. I don't understand the purpose of your screenshot. There is nothing in it that looks like a compelling feature when compared with Windows 8.1. Unlike a good amount of members here I do not necessarily worry about petty little things like the Recycle Bin icon (or new icons in general).

I am loving those new icons! Much more professional looking! :)

I still hate them, they are ugly and Microsoft needs the Office 2013 icons, they are much flatter and better as well as darker and easier on the eyes then the highlighter colors.

The download on insider.windows.com's hash is still for the January build (9926) so you'll have to either go through the TP control panel or get the executable upgrade installer.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
