Just started messing with WP8.1 on my Lumia 625

 

Must get a phone with a higher res screen :cry:

 

Edit: changed start screen background to match the lock screen, looks much better.

 

Something needs to be done about those skype and onenote icons though :/

 

I use Hot Tiles! to make them transparent  ;) .

My ATIV S running WP8.1 GDR1, living in the UK and finally being able to use Cortana is awesome.

I went back to Windows Phone for a time. It's way better than when I last left it at Windows Phone 7.8.

 

I got the Lumia 1520 (Hulk Green) and I love it. A bit too big, but with my eyes starting to age, the bigger screen helps. One of the things that bothered me about this upgrade experience is that, like, I understand that a lot of people don't want a Windows Phone, so that's why the stores don't carry any, well the 1520 that I know of, in stock (even though it's featured on a large display near the front door). But if you do want a Windows Phone, they asked if you've even had one, and if you say no, they try to sell you on something else. If you go through with the deal, it's "Oh, we don't have it in stock. We'll mail it to you!"

 

But I want it nowwwww.

Design wise, I'm really not happy with Windows Phones new folders.

While they add much needed functionality, they make the start screen much more cluttered.

If we could designate one icon, or the live tile from one app, to be the main/only thing shown for each folder, it could be a lot cleaner, and less resource intensive.

I don't even want to post a screenshot, it's a ####### mess :/

      I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.

      I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
