This week, Orange Pi revealed the pricing for the Neo handheld and it’s shockingly affordable. We’ll talk about it. Plus, we’ve got yet more hard evidence that Linux is better for PC gamers than Wi...
Last time I used Windows was 10, and I was able to find 4, 4 different fucking historical UI schemes/frameworks by digging deep enough into arcane settings menus.
I was working at MSFT when 8 released.
Broke every server tool, SQL Manangement Studio, fucking everything, for weeks.
We asked them if there was a way to go back to the 7 UI.
Nope! It’s been removed!
… And a few days later, word of mouth and email chains start spreading an arcane series of override procedures to get back to the Win 7 GUI/Desktop, that is almost entirely still there… and after almost a month, our team finally gets the whole process forwarded to us or our team lead unofficially obtained it or something who fucking knows.
So much for ‘its been removed’.
After a month of so of that, MSFT realizes that a tablet only interface for desktop PCs is fucking stupid, they make the 7 UI/Desktop into an easier toggle, and kablamo, thats Windows 8.1!
We totally planned this the whole time everyone!
I hate MSFT more than most, because I used to work for them, they’re fucking awful.
haha, I was a Windows Kernel dev for Intel. What a shit show. Both companies would fuck each other over. So many times. We would start project, get Microsoft to buy in. Microsoft would pull in a bunch of engineers to support it, 3 months later, we cancel on Microsoft. Or Microsoft does the same thing to us, I get pulled on to a team to support Microsoft, 3 months later, Microsoft cancels. No wonder those two companies are imploding. Good riddence.
