I've noticed a trend in messengers in Windows, even the new version of Skype is doing it too. They aren't letting us detach chat windows allowing us to have separate chat windows per person. I know they are probably trying to be all hip emulate mobile OS'es, but it's annoying as ######. 

 

Not sure about anyone else but on a few occasions I've sent the wrong message to the wrong person because I thought I was on their window but I was on someone else. Doesn't help that in the case of Facebook Messenger it lets you know which person is the active one by using a dull hard to see light gray. Who the ###### designed that UI, how about a bright easy to see color? Maybe blue?

 

Before anyone suggests an option such as Trillian, yes Trillian is great, but for some reason when someone shares something by clicking the share button it never comes through. Anyway, that's my rant for the day!

Haven't touched Trillian in years but last I remember it had a proprietary share protocol that wasn't compatible with the official messengers :/

works great for facebook other than the issue above.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
