haha i know what you mean... ive been using it all this time and am totally fine with it until someone pointed out that my menus dont fade haha... oh well its still a kickass browser

Personally I prefer all special effects turned off, so it won't bug me so much.

I would've turned them off even if I was on Mac. tongue.gif

Oh yeah soo true :rofl: I have all the XP effects turned off for speed and memory's sake (as well as my eyes)

Not like it's that performance hitting on OS X anyway. The GUI is powered by the GPU, unlike the Windows XP effects and GUI.

I don't have any performance decrease problem with WinXP too.

I just hate how I see that boring animations that wastes every precious seconds. :)

When I click sometime, I want it to appear RIGHT AWAY, not with that glorious animation that fails to amaze me.

Same with me. :)

First thing I do on any XP machine I use is turn off the menu fade effects. I prefer to have everything come up instantly.

For me some animations are good and some are bad. The animation in the Firefox manager (where each entry fades in when you start a download) is plain bad. It has no use and takes too long to show. The good animations I like are when you minimize a window, the window shrinks towards the taskbar button so that I know I didn't press the wrong button (versus say the maximize or close button). I also like the fading out of menu items when you click on them since I usually click stuff so fast and only start reading the menu items after I've clicked on them (for example in the bookmarks). I also like smooth-scrolling which allows me to press pagedown and I can see it scroll and I can roughly guess where my previous position was. Hence, I for one prefer a choice, as Windows itself also offers us the choice of having the animations on or off.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
