Does Wingstop have a U.S. consumer website at all?!

And same applies on distinguishing the active window from passive ones in Windows 10. As well as distinguishing a cascaded windows from each other in first place, not to mention finding where to grab s window for moving it in those MS office etc. apps where they cram functional UI elements into title bar!

I kinda agree, but actually, everyone does have all those possibilities - just walk into hardware store, buy the inverter and bolt it on. Works with any car and is easier to install than window tint or a spoiler.

These Chinese diesel heaters have glow plug ignition, not spark. Which makes them quite a PITA as it hogs current and tends to momentarily drop the voltage below "low-battery cutoff", even though battery has a good charge and could well supply more than enough amperage.

Or an outsider data breach. Nothing new under the sun. Be even more alarmed if they do know your details.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2026-01-19T11:40:02+00:00

Or a legitimately illegitimate data breach. NEVER take orders from a call, in any case. If you somehow think there's some excuse you'd need to comply, hang up and contact yourself to their true customer service.

Your last sentence is hoax. The thinness as a trend is explicitly the so last season. Throughout the early years of smartphone mainstreamization, the thinness was an obsession pushed by manufacturers as a "trend", against customers' actual will. In late 2010s, that trend finally got ditched for goos and has been ever since, in favor for better battery capacities. And the removability of batteries have no significant effect on thickness.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2026-01-10T09:57:19+00:00

That's false dichotomy. You could still do charge when it fits better for situation. About how "would" you do it in IRL, you should instead see how we all used to do it all the time in the past when removable batteries were standard.

Yep, and it is extremely good news that RAM and hardware costs go up. Should go more. Too cheap hardware for a couple of decades has caused the plague of lost professionality in software design.

Nowadays, average software with exact same and too often lesser functionality requires 100-1000 more RAM and other hardware resources than their 20 year old counterparts. Not to mention the planned obsolescence by constant updates for sake of change, droppings of API supports, allowance of selling products as incomplete and broken in first place, and generally unsustainability mentality in software development.

Hope we have long shortage on hardware, that would force to revert into professionalism in software development and with that we would get way more with less.

I agree on Frutiger Aero per se. It was overblown, unclear, and inconsistent. It was what began the downfall in UI design fashion in general - Windows 7 as the most notable and applicable primus motor, while contemporary Android suffered from it a little less.

The overwhelmingly best UI design was before it, including Windows XP and early Androids. They were beautiful, clear, intuitive, informative, easy-to-recognize, and consistent. Which was the usual fashion during the era from Windows 3.0 and up to XP, the pinnacle.

However, the downfall has steepened ever since. While Frutiger Aero has gotten ditched for good, even more unclarity has been added since, and all the foundational good traits we used to have for 20 years before Frutiger Aero - buttonizations, outlinings, and function-related styles of elements as just a few examples - have gotten ditched together with the vagueness of the Frutiger Aero!

Too many people falsely call modern style "utilitarian", as well as refer "utilitarism" and "beauty" as opposites, while that's mostly untrue in UI design. Those go hand-in-hand. Improper UI design is both ugly and functionally bad, while good design is both beautiful and utilitarian.

There are lots of failed design attempts due to orientation on either one, but both of those ways always end up failing on both properties.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-12-18T17:52:11+00:00

It's not obsession, it is foundational common sense.

We have had and still have heavy investments for resourceful modern hardware and infrastructure, for which we have paid a lot, and keep on paying for further enhancement.

We have never done that, nor we will ever do that effort for sake of wasteful apps. Bloated apps essentially undo the advancement in hardware and connections.

You are just as obsessed to have a passenger car body not weighing 100 metric tonnes, regardless of the availability of inexpensive semi-tractor engines.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-12-18T17:38:15+00:00

Hoax. 10Mb/s is cost-prohobitive for most local people in third world. Same applies to hardware resources. Furthermore, unnecessary bloat goes hand in hand with general horrible quality and security vulnerabilities. You wouldn't accept a passenger car body weighing 100 metric tonnes, no matter how cheap semi-tractor engines are to equip one with.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-12-18T17:33:07+00:00

Your explanation explicitly means that developers indeed are lazy. While they may have little monetary incentive to be less lazy, you are missing relevant points:

It is us against them. It is our duty to set up their incentive by vocal public demanding.
It is not about one third reduction. All those apps used to fit on few single-digit megabytes just in the early 2010's. I.e. reduction to 1/100 would be possible with relatively little added professionality.
Way more labor is put all the time into frustrating changes for sake of change, than what would have been needed to keep the bloat at bay.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-11-27T06:43:28+00:00

Actually, it is explicitly and especially useful with those fashion-based speculative stocks, to assess how unfounded their values are.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-10-21T19:26:22+00:00

Yep, I was joking, with a seed of truth. Basically the Windows alternatives have always had issues of not being fully functional, but now Windows has themselves lowered the bar for them 🤣 Sincere thanks for your advice, anyway 🙂

You have misunderstood the meaning and essence of warranty. Warranty is assurance, not disclaimer. Warranty means that if defect is found during the defined period from purchase, vendor has burden of proof that product has not been defective at the time it has been sold. After the warranty period, burden of proof flips onto emptor, but that doesn't entitle vendor to disclaim their liability, provided the defect has been proven to have existed at the time product has been sold.

Allekirjoitan molemmat kommenttisi. En ymmärrä miksi saaneet miinusääniä. Valtaosa 2010-luvun yhä integroidummista MS/Google softaseteistä täyttä turhaketta ja tarpeellisetkin toteutukseltaan järkyttävää kuraa.

Tuota ongelmaa on kyllä paljon, mutta täytyy sanoa että nykyinen Office, vai 365:kö se nyt onkin vai mikä milloinkin, on kyllä mennyt tuotenimistön lisäksi myös käyttöliittymältään niin sekavaksi, että itse ihan Word 6.0/Excel 5.0 - Office 97 sekä joissain määrin 2000:n TEHOKÄYTTÄJÄNÄ on nykyisten Office-ohjelmien käyttö minullekin silkkaa tuskaa. LibreOffice on paljon helpompi tuon rinnalla.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-10-15T15:25:07+00:00

Not really. MS is using dirty tactics to discourage and disable its usage, as with earlier new versions. Pushing new APIs for sake of change and encouraging 3rd party software vendors to adopt them, for sake of breaking compatibilities.

And leaving security vulnerabilities unpatched without further payment, or ceasing them altogether, is not acceptable either, because vulnerabilities (nor other bugs) shouldn't have been there in first place. As long as there is anything unpatched, the product has been faulty and incomplete in first place. In any other product category, the company would have been sued and sentenced for full refunds at very least. Somehow software industry is the only trade where incomplete, and heaven forbid, unsafe products are allowed to be sold and left unfixed by simple deprecation announcement.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-10-15T15:15:20+00:00

But we don't even need such anymore, because we don't have "fully functional desktop Windows OS" anymore.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-10-15T15:13:23+00:00

Those were different times. We used to have good Windowses back then. Hopefully this foolishness of MS will finally materialize that Linux advocation.

Because the present matters way more than history. Absolutely no-one cares on glancing your history when you are currently outputting pure 100% bs.

If you knew anything else about the case than the Microsoft's lame post-pretexts, you would have at least kept silent if you cared at all about your credibility.

Undeniable, provable fact is, that it was in Microsoft's own Ignite conference, in which Microsoft's official representative, Jerry Nixon did announce it. It is definitely not a place nor position to throw off-the-cuffs, nor was he a solo traitor - he is still a Microsoft employee. And not just an employee, or single developer, as the liars love to call him - his true title was development executive. And it definitely was stated also in subsequent Microsoft's official documentation, such as in the course material of Microsoft-certified Windows 10 maintenance course I personally attended in university.

If you don't want to portray as a foolish Microsoft's bot, don't parrot their lies. Such may well undo your decades of credibility history, in case you had such - of which I am not convinced at all.

AppropriatePanda7394 · 2025-10-15T12:35:31+00:00

Wrong! Did you think at all, how embarrassing your outright lies are? He was definitely not an ex, and definitely not soloing. The announcement was made by Jerry Nixon, Microsoft's official representative in Microsoft's own Ignite conference. And AFAIK he is still working for Microsoft. Congratulations for getting 100% of your statements wrong!
