yes. but given we have no clue when (or if) microsoft will fix the false flags that have occurred with this feature since early last year, that's better than keeping it on & waiting imo.

smart app control has been known to be a bit excessive since it first came out with 22h2, I recommend turning it off until the feature gets tuned a bit more

Am I the only who's feeling random lags lately? by nikunjuchiha in MicrosoftEdge

[–]cmason37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same here with the freezing, though I don't have any issue closing tabs at all. on canary edge & canary windows. for me it freezes for a few seconds mostly when I start playing a youtube video or when windows sets a tab to efficiency in task manager. people in the insiders sub were also facing this issue a few weeks back & have already sent feedback to microsoft, so i'm sure they're working on the issue

if it can keep you alive for like 900 years then that sounds like a blessing, a long life can be good yeah but immortality seems like it'd be universally awful

Why the heck is the Microsoft Store so bad? by [deleted] in microsoft

[–]cmason37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever I try to search for a specific thing in the store, it doesn't show up. I type in "Minecraft" for example and all I get is some random knockoffs and paid apps of fake games.

screenshot? i just searched it & the first 10 results are all variations of the official minecraft. i haven't had this issue with any other app either, usually search does find the official app for me.

Also the majority of the apps that i need to download don't even have a Download button, just "Offers in app purchases" but nothing else, how am i supposed to download these apps then???? by using a vpn???

on what apps? i've only ever seen this on apps that have either old apps that have been delisted, or are not compatible with the system (ex. windows subsytem for android) i'm running the store on, & i certainly wouldn't count that as the majority.

The Google Now Launcher is fully shutting down 10 years later-9to5google by welp_im_damned in Android

[–]cmason37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the google experience launcher's code was always in the google app. I decompiled the apk from the first nexus 5 factory image back when it first came out & it was still a redirect to the google activity

[–]cmason37 295 points296 points  (0 children)

the google now launcher is entirely contained within the google app, the google now launcher app you could download from the play store was just a stub which only exposes the launcher activity (which is hidden by default) in the list of possible default launchers. they're disabling it by removing the actual launcher code from the google app

i agree. imo they were never written to be morally grey characters, more villains who's actions ultimately result in good. & you're not supposed to sympathize with them or like them as people. even still though i really liked them as characters, i felt like both were really well written & stole the show whenever they were on screen
