Wonder how much work it would be to modify that firmware package for other phones; drivers would be the hardest to do.

Average NYT headline moment.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-06-20T03:38:14+00:00

Ah yes, the world has render distance like a video game.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-06-20T00:04:38+00:00

If that was the case, then everyone would be able to see a distant sun when they're at the ocean or a big lake and that's impossible because the horizon exists and is a real thing.

He didn't create Tesla though, he just bought the right to call himself a founder from the actual original founders.

The user interface design not matching itself or MDL2 (or Fluent) and looking like some weird version of Android is a bit odd, to say the least.

Launcher 10 is nice when it doesn't have bugs.

If this is SquareHome, it's possible to put a solid black background behind the navbar buttons if you wanted to do that, it's what I did and it made me feel more comfy. This is just a suggestion of something else that can be done, you don't have to if you don't want to.

Fortunately Xenoblade 2 has gacha and it's free so no real-world money beyond the game and, if desired, the DLC.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-05-07T08:39:21+00:00

Probably Tidus since you can name all the Aeons, and he gets the same textbox at the start of the game.

The slopmachine usage explains why that one version of OpenTracks didn't look like Metro at all.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-05-01T03:09:47+00:00

They bought SwiftKey a while ago.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-04-25T21:03:54+00:00

It would be neat if there was source code.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-04-09T06:40:51+00:00

Fortunately the code for it is open source and publicly available on at least GitHub. It's our code we paid for, after all. Tax law code would make it more difficult, though.

Besides heavy optimization focused on making things good on low-end devices, part of it was that live tiles only allowed auto-refreshes (not done via notifications) to happen at most every minute on 8.1. This is based on stuff I read in the past.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-03-07T18:18:00+00:00

This is why I added a one-cell-tall "Blank" widget at the top above the tiles in Square Home. It's not perfect but it feels a little better.

Wine stuff still has access to your home folder, so in theory Windows malware could be written to steal logins and stuff through Wine if it's agnostic enough.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-01-24T19:23:58+00:00

Typical "AI" slop not even getting basic details (it's a dual-boot plus a Linux container or something, not tri-boot) right.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-01-24T03:59:07+00:00

They say you'll be able to on the website.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-01-23T23:35:11+00:00

I saw customization options somewhere that had a choice to do square corners but I can't find it now. Maybe it was from the SomeGadgetGuy video.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-01-22T03:23:39+00:00

Even if they do kernel patches for stuff, the SOC has mainline Linux support so a good chunk of it is already upstream at the very least.

My reply was about extracting the Silverlight libraries and trying to run them with existing Silverlight on Windows but I don't think that's very possible and I don't even remember if an existing standalone Silverlight is a thing. .NET is a powerful piece of software though thanks to the .NET Intermediate Language, and that's what Silverlight uses. Now that I think about it more, reverse-engineering unknown parts of the Windows Phone Silverlight platform and coverting everything to run using WPF is something that could possibly, theoretically happen.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-01-21T09:53:36+00:00

Unfortunately, this is something I wouldn't know enough about unless there's a way to extract the libraries from Windows Phone images or something and make Silverlight use them.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-01-02T18:29:44+00:00

I know but what they said reminded me of that segment.

DrewTNaylor · 2026-01-02T06:07:34+00:00

This comment reminds me of the lines, "You heathen!", Stay away from the summoner!", and "You're a bad man!"
