And dozens upon dozens of lazy devs hard-coded their colors.

There are custom themes for Win11 that dark theme Win32 UI, and Microsoft could do the same. But because of those lazy devs they don't want to open up to the liability of some corposlave having issues using software from 1997 they need to use in dark mode because whoever wrote it back then didn't give a shit about respecting the Win32 API so we're stuck in the decades old Windows bodge parade. Bring your own dark theme! (warranty void if used)

If Microsoft has ANY SENSE, they build on the success of the .NET/C# team.

Develop a WinForms successor that is cross platform, Windows/Mac/Linux. Exportable to the web as well kind of like Avalonia. Simple drag and drop style native UI design with the ability to tweak and refine in the code. Make this a part of the transition to native UI.

This shit would do numbers and wreck the current landscape. Everyone is dead fucking tired of working on front end sloppo for even the smallest apps and internal tools. The OG WinForms was a gateway drug for getting into C# itself because it was so easy and streamlined to work with for any kind of basic app.

There's no tic-toc rule. Everything after 7 was shit.

10 is often considered "good" simply because it's a better experience than 8/8.1, but still worse than 7 in every way other than better compatibility with modern hardware and software.
I'd argue even Vista is overall better than 10 and the only reason Vista is shat on is "poor" compatibility because people were trying to run it on their ancient XP toasters.
7 was the only Windows after XP that MS improved in all sectors: compatibility, performance, features and experience. Everything else after if drops the ball in at least two of those areas.

Yup, not as pronounced as my version, but it seems to do an okay job of it.
Back in 2010-2012, when I decided to mock the Macintosh screenshots that were shared here on /g/, I don't think even KDE was adding drop shadows to their screenshots.
I love that 4chan allows PNG transparency like a bro, though. It just makes images pop right out of the thread.
>complicated
99% of it is a single imagemagick line. Everything else is fluff I have added and tweaked over 15 years. I also enjoy the portability of the drop shadow scripting wise. ezpz

Its still like that if you either don't connect it to the internet, use a launcher / ADB tweaks in Android, root Webos / Use adguard/pihole

I can't speak for Samsung's TV OS but I think that can be rooted as well

But yes the UIs are garbage and its because they need to show you ads and collect data to make any money on the TVs now as the hardware profit margain is razor razor thin

>>108505954
Just buy an oversized monitor instead of a TV or simply don't buy a TV at all

why is everyone on /g/ - Technology a luddite?

>>108505954
>Is it a controversial opinion on /g/ to say that I preferred when TVs didn't have their own OS frontend?
no.

>>108505954
It's not a controversial opinion I guess. Specially given that it's kinda like the epitome of rampant consumerism: What you get is shit by default, and when it gets shitty AND disfunctional because of a lack of support caused by the fact that your product gets "old" you are supposed to replace it by something else, despite the fact that it will still be able to display images just fine.
Software and a screen shouldn't be in the same package, and if it's done then the execution should be perfect, which is precisely the opposite of what is going on.
Personally I'm a jobless bum but when I get enough money to live on my own my idea is getting one of those non-smart comercial screens and hook it up to a PC built on an ITX case running linux configured to be a media center or something similar.

Amazon has a major problem with AI generated ebooks. Basically just assume everything is AI slop unless it goes through a real publisher. Even better just stick to recommended lists.

the 90s was the peak of human civilization, it's all downhill from there, it's just a question of do we dissolve into brown sludge, die in nuclear fire, or get slop'd by chinese slopbots trained on so much sci-fi that they statistically conclude the most probable event to follow being given a robot body is to massacre humanity

>quarter gig of javascript bloat + quarter gig of python bloat to download a youtube video
yt-dlp is written by hopeless idiots

if the majority of the computing is handled by ffmpeg there is basically no reason to not use python, or something else interpreted. python3 is on most linux distro by default so that isn't a deal breaker either. i would bet that more than 95% of the computing is done by ffmpeg when you download a video.

When I was checking it out it was simply an outdated chatbot, nothing special about it whatsoever. Perhaps it is something they hoped they can ship so that random people would jump on the hype train before realising limitations. Or maybe it was an attempt to shit that purely to enterprise environment. Idk, but it was very meh. One of the most meh and mid pieces of software so far. Which in case of Microslop is actually a huge compliment, but still. Far better tools exist.

Its for companies already locked into Microsoft. Has audit data if you already have Intune or Purview. I can't remember which. So you can see prompt and responses.
It also has a "work" mode that uses your tenant SharePoint and office shit as a makeshift "RAG" AI. I can only imagine how effective that can be. The places I've been were a SharePoint nightmare. So many versions and renames of files and none actually used offices built in versioning.

Currently using a Moto G32 with LineageOS. All of the same benefits as the Redmi Note 10 Pro mentioned above, minus the AMOLED screen, but I only paid around €200 for it at the time.
As for more recent models, there's the Fairphone 6, but their hardware is less competitive for the price.

If Motorola ever adds the SoC of their upcoming GrapheneOS-certified flagship to their midrange models a few years later, those will be the true Thinkpads of smartphones.

Have you tried doing your government business inside a browser, or does your government strictly require an app?

>>108512179
not an issue for me, I don't have any government apps on my phone and my banking app works fine on custom roms

>>108512253
It's that one specific government app that GrapheneOS dev listed on his site.
It's tied to a phone with no browser alternative unfortunately

>>108509184
Yes the hardware is shit, but at least i can install Lineage. I will die on this hill.

They all let me communicate, set reminders and events, keep my shopping list and set alarms. Anything beyond that doesn't make it better, just adds more shit I don't care about. As long as it runs graphene and lasts a long time I'm pretty much set.

The value is just in that we get to see what this shady company called anthropic may be hiding. For example it had the weird undercover mode.

Also, I'm pretty sure they said the pet woudld continue working after apri 1st, and that whatever it talked wouldn't be billed under the regular token plan. I'm pretty sure someone can reroute the main program to talk via that endpoint and abuse it, forcing Claude to close it and kill everyone's pets. Or maybe not, idk.

Almost everything in it was super boilerplate and simple. Literal plain text instructions to the system. Standard user feedback. There wasnt anything malicious I saw.

literally nothing. it wont help you to make anything, the model is the secret sauce not a cli that sends a prompt to cloud

>>108512316
This is what i assumed. Though the interface could be nice. Is there nothing for context management in it though? All llms are stateless so its their tools that manage the context. Is it all done on the cloud with no mechanism in the code? Seems really inefficient.
