So maybe this explains why Windows takes 20 seconds to find Notepad when I search for it on the Start menu.

Sometimes it's like "Notepad? Never heard of it."

Win+R, notepad, enter. The run command still works...for now.

They sure are destroying that platform at lightning speed.

Let me search Bing for "notepad," since that's definitely something you want when you're searching the start menu.

Does this explain why the new native paint and notepad apps are so awful? I find these apps behaving like browser apps instead of a native applications. Also the right click menu sometimes paints/fills in instead of instantly appearing? How about context menus that are misplaced or impossible to read?

So it turns out that it's just the "Recommended" section, and it's actually the Microsoft flavor of React Native that spits out real ~~Windows~~ (I think C++) code, but still...yeah.

What do you mean when you say it spits out real windows code?

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Sorry, I think I must have had a small stroke while writing that. I think I meant C++.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 8 hours ago

wait, does windows jit compile C++ ??

[-] Scoopta@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago

That makes so much more sense lol

  1. Use proprietary softwane developed for profit
  2. It's shit

Many such cases

It would be interesting to see the annual global power consumption from design choices like this.

Probably negligible compared to the bundled AI tools

[-] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

I'm convinced a lot of the "AI tools" in general are just the same old tool with data collection tacked onto it. I really hope some of the things I see labeled as "AI" in tech these days are not actually running some model on a GPU somewhere. I pray they aren't at least.

Oh yeah... that's just bad design

[-] noctivius@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

deserved tbh

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

Is that true?...

[-] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

This YouTube link at the time indicates part of the menu is. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kMJNEFHj8b8&t=276s

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 day ago

Of so it's the ads that are react native apps. Double gross.

I don’t have any expertise or taken a look at it but this comment makes it so much worse: https://lemmy.ca/comment/16819736
