OMG, why is it so hard for them to make proper icons? you just type "trash bin icon" in google image search and find dozens of competent alternatives or at least some with right thought direction.

If you don't like the icon then change it yourself when the OS is released.

Win10 looking more and more like the picture ms showed awhile back in their feedback program.

This lends credence to your previous statement that "TP builds are not the state of progress of different branches of windows 10."

transparent task bar is also in this build. Some start screen changes as well (placement of power off and expandable start screen).

 

Wait are you saying they're actually still working on the start menu/screen and adding the features they promised they would add that was lost when they did the XAML... now why didn't I bookmark the guy who was going on for pages how none of this was coming back :p

Here you go.

:sleep: @this thread. My god my eyes hurt. I'll be so glad when this is all over, and RTM is released, so I can read another complaint thread on the same issues such as those I just got finished reading.  :punch:

Those new icons are fine with me. If you don't like them, you can change them. At least they are somewhat consistent.

they're trying to somehow make it in between "flat" and "familiar" (in desktop sense) ending up with some really odd cartoonish designs. As I see it, the only way for W10 to look professional is to settle with one-color flat style and if possible adopt the perspective of Windows/Office/Store logos

New Clock UI default now:

Looks like Microsoft might be getting round to that light/dark theme now.

Is light/dark really the best way to go though? I know light kind of ends up looking old with the grey, unlike iOS with the stark white "modern" look. Then, the dark theme is too dark everywhere with very little color. 

Homegroups almost always work if you're not using a third party firewall (in my experience at least.)  That's why I gave up on third party firewalls.

Try Wired, Wireless N/AC w/ 2.5 and 5 Ghz with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. They do not always work.

    • 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.
