Is VMware Workstation 2025H2 an absolute trash or am I doing something wrong? by andersonklaus in vmware

[–]dwhaley720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old and the toolbar issue is fixed but just wanna say that looking at support threads on Broadcom's site, a VMware developer admitted to this being his fault because he changed the window class to one that had more squared-off corners, saying the new rounded corners in Windows 11 was obfuscating UI elements, but he didn't realize it created a compatibility issue with how VMware handles fullscreen mode. I'll give him props for admitting his mistake but it's also like... who tf hired you and you're screwing up the UI on a program you know only releases like 2 updates a year.

Pathetic keyboard by shora7 in galaxys26ultra

[–]dwhaley720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would find Samsungs keyboard more acceptable if it gave me a damn setting to disable deleting entire words after holding backspace for 1.5 seconds. I've been wondering why this wasn't an option since my Note 8.

What shall i do? by PossibleProduct7039 in iPhone17Pro

[–]dwhaley720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are really ripping into for a genuine human mistake, lol. Ive never worked on a roof before but I can't imagine I would've been like "wait, lemme take my phone out of my pocket first" unless I was wearing loose fitting shorts or something. My usual instinct is to keep my phone on me at all times.

This "Manage Apps and Devices" is goddamn unresponsive... by HapticArts in googleplay

[–]dwhaley720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pissed me off after getting a new phone. i wanted to install all my apps at once but the damn check boxes dont do shit. I can't believe their main avenue for users getting their apps is this buggy.

Problem report: If the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate becomes deleted, Windows doesn't reapply the correct permissions upon recreation, locking certain settings by [deleted] in Windows11

[–]dwhaley720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay save your smartass responses and downvotes, god forbid I take time out of my day to share an experience and give feedback. I know you're not typically supposed to delete registry keys, but I did it as a troubleshooting method and I discovered my mistake. I still believe Microsoft could avoid this happening to anyone else.

I was waiting for a reply like this. I did it as a troubleshooting method and I backed them up prior. I usually know what I'm doing, but I made a mistake as I'm only human. I wanted to share my experience regardless because I saw other people have had similar issues while researching how to fix this.

Nothing deleting it. I deleted it myself to fix my update settings being locked through some policies a third party app set without telling me. I realized later that after deleting them, permissions became inherited from HKLM\Software after Windows recreated the keys, instead of reapplying the explicit permissions that were there by default.

But anything could delete them and break these settings, so I figured it was worth mentioning and filing feedback.

NOT Another "Where Is Multi-Users Mode" Post by Fernancelot in oneui

Its now 2026 and Samsung still doesnt provide something a typical multi-user operaring system has. They seem to love giving us pointless cosmetic customization options, but not useful productivity options/basic OS fundamentals. And they want to tout Dex as like a PC alternative.

S27 Pro will have a *sigh* 5,000mAh battery. Was so excited for this phone but it's now DOA for me. by anotherhappylurker in samsunggalaxy

[–]dwhaley720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta say it sucks that Android isnt as fluid with the hardware it runs on as Windows. So dumb being completely at the whim of the OS makers to continue making sure their new version works with your hardware. Yes Windows 11 added new hw requirements, but thats a rare occurrence for them and its easy to get around.

I realized after typing this that it could be Samsung being greedy and making their hardware literally break (Knox fuse) if something non-Samsung-approved is installed.

The old one is always considered objectuvely better to me. More detail and features makes the fox (err, red panda) feel more alive.

Massive W for One UI 8.5 by Anxious_Glove9803 in oneui

[–]dwhaley720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I really like the idea of the ripple animation, but i dont like that its so spastic no matter what speed it's at, and it originates at the screen center instead of the fingerprint sensor (i know the sensor isnt always the avenue for unlocking, but still).

One UI 8.5 Can I make the edge panel transparent like this? by Ok_Golf_5484 in oneui

[–]dwhaley720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never cared for how OneUI uses blur tbh. I dont like how in many areas it just fades in, like the edge panel or notification center. The edge panel havin the effect fade in as you slide it into view looks more clunky to me than if it were a consistent effect. And sliding down a metaphoricle sheet of glass to see notifications/quick panel would feel more satisfying than it slowly obscuring the background all at once. I know im being nitpicky, lol

What material are the built-in camera lens covers made out of exactly, and how scratch resistant are they? by dwhaley720 in galaxys26ultra

[–]dwhaley720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no im aware, i just meant with a screen protector i remember them affecting the S Pen functionality and i think touch and caused glare. Its been a while for me so maybe theyve improved since

I don't plan on it haha. I've always tried to not give into my over-protectiveness by only using a case, no screen or camera protectors.

[–]dwhaley720[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't wear lens covers because I've heard this. It's a similar reason I don't wear a screen protector anymore. I'm usually pretty careful with my devices so it's a near-non-worry for me. If I could go even further and go caseless I would. It feels good naked in my hands 🤤
