people are starting to forget that Windows actually was good a long time ago, it has been 13 long years
>>107821888Well, that and the immense lack of driver support upon launch. It taught many an important lesson: never be an early adopter of any kind of tech unless you're just tinkering.
>>107820326why did your windows 7 look so ugly?
>>107827640oops I saved the thick window border image again
>>107827640he thicc
>>107820326Most of the apps on that desktop were absolute slop and a nightmare to deal with.I still miss Windows 7 though.

>>107825321>Were CRTs really that much better than the displays of today?in some ways they were. we did get to high definition crt (and that shit was amazing) but the tubes and electronics were so heavy it took two fit men to move the tv - and even then those two men would struggle.>>107825507>when you project your mental collapse on an image board: the postsad cringe>>107828151>no burn ins.>no bezelsfrom the land of fantasy and the make believe. crt had both, zoomy zoomzoom.
Crts are shit and have always been shit. Anyone who says otherwise is either >Fat fuck boomer who can't let go of 1985>Poor 3rd world browns trying to self validation their broken CRT because they're so poor that's all they can afford >Shithead zooms who nostalgia larp That's it.
>>107825321For /vr/ and old /tv/, sure.
>>107825650>in 2 years it was Crysis.I get you man, I lived through the 90s and today? Imagine that Crysis is almost 20 years now and it still looks GOOD even by today's standards. Sure, vidya might not be a good benchmark of all technology progress, but it still shows that we have stalled in some aspects. Hardware is vastly more powerful than in 2007 (although it has stalled in its own way - essentially being just buffed up hardware from mid 2000s) but software didn't follow. Instead of utilizing that power for improvements, developers used it to allow themselves to be more sloppy in their work, releasing shitty code is apparently allowed now because the hardware can make up for it.
>>107825321for motion(games), absolutely.for black levels, until oled it was superior.for reading/creating text, never. a flickerfree lcd is far more comfortable on the eyes. though many use bad pulse width modulation which is worse than crt, you go from rolling scan to staring at a stroboscope. my favorite was the lg flatron 795+, one of the first with a completely flat screen and no annoying two trinitron lines.
When they are going to kick out this idiot out and find somebody normal as CEO ?Nobody has ever ruined reputation of Microsoft like this jeet. I know, i know REPUTATION hah... like they did have any yet in just this year they got lot of new names Microslop is the current one going on. Im not against AI i just hate having it on my PC and in every fucking program that's why im currently using Mint which isn't the best but you don't have the feeling that you are constantly being watched.
>>107830554Fucking hell that's bad because he made Microsoft a lot of money.

>>107825277The only acceptable way is to keep all xdg-compliant configurations in /etc/ or ~/.config/,placing all non-compliant configs in ~/.config/, as well, unless it's simply not an option, and keeping a directory in your ~/ where you cp -r all of your edited dotfiles and cp -rs the directories back in place. Then, root can take custody of the configuration files with trusted code.
>>107827232No it's not.Windows was widely regarded as a 16-bit DOS app. So they called the compatibility layer "Windows on Win32", shortened to WOW32.Fast forward 15 years, Windows was widely regarded as a 32-bit environment. So they called the compatibility layer "Windows on Win64", or WOW64.You need a System folder for the files used by the compatibility layer, and you might as well name it after the compatibility layer, so "System Folder for Windows on Win64", or SysWOW64.

>>107817990>frutiger aeroGod that sounds so gay. It's Aero! Just Aero! Always has been. Always will be.>>107819453I always hated macs UI from a usability standpoint. I swear to god steve jobs never wanted to move the window controls over to the right hand side to accommodate the majority right handed population because thats how microsoft does it. Same with the stupid ass dock and menu bar. The menu bar makes multitasking hard. Especially if you have multiple windows open of the same program like word or excel. And the dock feels like a half assed attempt at a windows task bar. Its funny how when microsoft ripped off the dock idea from apple they made it so much better. It feels like the entire macos was designed to give you tunnel vision. Where as windows was made for flexibility and easier switching between apps. Shit apple didnt even adopt a proper window tiling feature until recently. You had to hover over the green button and wait for the submenu to pop up.
>>107830786>It's Aero!It depends what you mean by "It".
"BTFO" sounds gay. Why is it so popular on 4chan?

They also flat-out refuse to make any aggressive moves with nvidia for some reason, I'm inclined to believe that they have a gentlemen's agreement with them.

What’s the proper way to measure your dict in bytes?When you size up a dict, do you care more about how wide it is (number of entries) or how deep it goes (what each one holds)?And when you need to unload the payload, do you dump it straight into a buffer, stream it somewhere else, or flush it to disk?

>>107827328This keyboard gets mentioned from time to time in /tpg/. Personally I want a 4" thick laptop with this as the base and the display and everything else in the lid with some bigdick hinges to support it all.
>>107827708I've been thinking about procuring a ThinkVision portable display to go with it. I just don't fully have a use-case for it. So I hold off. I prefer to save versus being overly consumerist. I don't know. I guess it's a right tech for the job approach.
>>107827328It's neat but>no numpad
>>107827945I cannot speak to that point. Although, my use of ten key on the shinobi is little. However, I would totally support Tex and procure any modular mechanical ten key unit, in the same ThinkPad style or aesthetic. I've seen a Targus and a Belkin stand-alone ten key, but it would have to match the shinobi. I might be a little consumerist if Tex released something like that.
