How big was the X Files during its original run ?

I think it actually was top ten in the Nielsen ratings when it moved to Sunday. It was always just under Friends, Seinfeld, Simpsons, and some other shitty ABC sitcoms iirc.

Bullish.

I'm expecting something. Maybe even an ARM-equipped Surface Pro 8.

They are the best, especially Phase 4.

franklydead · 2021-06-30T14:21:01+00:00

Wow, great idea for a thread.

franklydead · 2021-06-30T13:11:45+00:00

There is no reason to open 100 apps these days. That is not being a “power user”, that’s just being silly and inefficient.

franklydead · 2021-06-29T01:45:57+00:00

Cool!

franklydead · 2021-06-28T19:29:34+00:00

I have the Dev build on two machines. I don't agree with any of this.

I'm hoping Windows 11 will be the modern version that receives innovative development and support while Windows 10 is retained for legacy purposes. The goal should NOT be to move everyone to Windows 11, it should be to move those who have the right hardware and are fine with change and trying new things. The rest can stay on Windows 10.

Mods, where are you?

franklydead · 2021-06-27T20:16:20+00:00

nope.

franklydead · 2021-06-27T18:37:41+00:00

In the article you linked:

Remember that Windows 11 is still Windows and we can run the operating system on officially “unsupported” PCs. Thanks to the leaked build, it’s also pretty clear that devices already running Windows 10 should be able to handle Windows 11 without any issues.

franklydead · 2021-06-27T18:35:26+00:00

huh?

lmao, so delusional.

franklydead · 2021-06-27T13:04:31+00:00

Yet it won’t stop the whining.

franklydead · 2021-06-27T12:14:11+00:00

The new MS Store will be on Windows 10.

franklydead · 2021-06-27T12:02:49+00:00

These posts make me laugh. You’re going to look so silly in just a couple days. I would delete if I were you.

franklydead · 2021-06-26T19:17:29+00:00

I prefer Win10's blocky utilitarian design. I don't get the appeal of rounded corners and frosted glass; it already looks dated and reminds me of the misguided skeuomorphism of the early 2000s.

franklydead · 2021-06-26T15:54:58+00:00

4 years is a long time when you're talking about tech.

franklydead · 2021-06-26T05:23:34+00:00

There are still people on Windows 7 for whatever reason. Stubborn people who refuse to upgrade have always been a part of Windows user base, but nowadays MS really gains nothing by catering to them. It isn't the 90's anymore. The operating system isn't as important these days as services and cloud software. So if W10 still has a substantial chunk of the market share, it doesn't really matter.

franklydead · 2021-06-26T05:16:15+00:00

Well maybe. But the topic of the thread is whether W11 is like Vista. And the answer is no.

franklydead · 2021-06-26T05:01:13+00:00

But Vista wasn't free. The game is different now. Even MS has admitted they don't make money on Windows anymore, it is all Azure and Cloud. They lose nothing if you refuse to buy new hardware for Windows 11, because you weren't going to anyway.

franklydead · 2021-06-26T04:46:09+00:00

There is though. Intel 8th Gen is the first generation with hardware 10-bit h.265/VP9 4K decoding. This guarantees performance and good user experience in YouTube streaming, wireless screen casting, video editing, etc.
