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  ;) .

The Start screen on my Surface RT, background is the desktop background with the settings synced to my desktop

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 :/

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.

    • Proton releases Proton Drive CLI for Windows, Mac, and Linux

      By noobient · Posted

      Completely irrelevant as long as pricing is garbage. With OneDrive I get storage for about $18 / TB for a year. With Proton it's $96. For the record, Google One is around $48, Dropbox $69, iCloud $60. In other words, Proton is the worst value BY FAR. Not to mention with OneDrive I get full desktop and web office suites for 6 people.
