Because most companies IT department are too lazy to give devs the options to use linux.

This is a prime example of the fallacy where a "conceptual model" is considered reality. Humans always have created many models/abstractions to understand things around us but that doesn't mean that reality is those mode

Completely agree. There are few more: - The window preview size in window switcher (alt tab) is so small that it is useless. - Windows switcher only shows the title of the focused item instead of showing title of all the windows. - Window s

Try opening Edge and you will realize that is has imported all the Chrome session/cookies etc and now you are logged in those sites in Edge. This setting is on by default.

MS recall captures screenshot, analyze them, extract data from them and create a database index of these things so you can search them. Apple AI essentially provides API hooks that apps can use to expose actions and data to the model. Curre

Few things that Recall can do: - Make sure Recall is per user and not something that can be installed system wide for all users. - When a user enable Recall, it should ask to setup a "Recall password" and generate a private public

I don't think this will ever happen as it seems that most of Windows team is busy with putting Copilot in every nook and corner of Windows and others are busy migrating every GUI to WinUI3.

The whole drama around with how Recall store data is misguided. The problem is not how this data is stored, it is more fundamental i.e how windows doesn't have a proper app sand boxing. MS App store apps have sandboxing and permission

macOS is definitely not good or efficient software. Intellij can cause the WindowServer to freeze and crash and log you out, Windows atleast can handle crash of GPU driver/dwm. There are many more such examples. https://yout

With iOS and iPadOS Apple created a new way make money even after they sell you the device, i.e the app store, every app purchase or other in app transactions that you do on these devices makes Apple money and this is not the case with macO

Maybe try Windows S mode ? This is a locked down mode of Windows home edition where you can only install apps from MS store and there are many other restrictions that will prevent accidentally breaking your system.

I wonder why Swift went with the approach of struct is a value type and class is a reference type. This approach means that when I am defining my type, I have to decide whether it will be used as value type or reference type whereas in C++

This has nothing to do with Rust. Its about how Windows CreateProcess API works.

The article mentions - "You can now view and delete passkeys saved for your favorite apps/websites from Windows settings" - so I am not sure how is this a lock in approach?

Not anymore. On Windows 11 you can use spy++ to check the taskbar window and it will show up a single window and everything inside it, start button or program buttons, all are not a window. This seems to be the case for any app that is usin

I still use the window menu shortcut Alt+space and then C to close the window, it is more easy to press compare to Alt+f4 (such a non-ergonomic key combination, compare to macOS cmd+w)

And Microsoft "cares" so much about backward compatibility that they don't want to break those poorly written programs that hardcoded the system drive path to C: Even the taskbar was supposed to be at top of the screen in ear

This is because of the business model of Windows. Any company that wants to build and sell computers (aka OEM) can license Windows and use that as the OS of their computer. Apple on the other hand is a company that sell computers with their
