I read that as a tip for managers somewhere: "developers are so simple to bribe, just give them new hardware instead of a raise in pay, and they will be happy"

Dude can buy anything and gets a Mac?
I used to work with a Mac fan. We were all Windows developers, and he was the only one who was always struggling do to simple tasks because his virtualized version of Windows kept crapping out in the strangest ways you'd never see on "regular" hardware (virtualized or not).

Poor guy. They are already crippling him with some iCrap thingy. They used Apple's pernicious marketing to gullible people straight out of college to screw him over on the first day at work and make him happy about it! Pure Evil!
Way to go getting rid of any productivity threat!

I've had a few occasions recently when I come down in the morning and find the computer is already on, and has been for some hours. I've assumed that they have been windows updating itself while I'm asleep which is both good, and worrying, all at the same time.
Nope, it's worse.
My cat knows how to turn on my computer ... I didn't even know you could turn it on via the mouse but he does.
So, two things:
1) My cat knows more about my computer than I do.
2) Just what has he been doing online while I'm asleep?

If I bump my desk and my mouse moves a little, my computer comes to life like a magical dragon breathing hellfire and damnation...or something like that.

He's probably been updating his facebook status. Apparently that's all the rage with cats these days.

Well I sure dunno. But ocasionally the “Thought of the Day” comes at odd hours, and, rises above your average standard. Jussayin’

OMG, you're right. Its soooo obvious. OG's cat is clearly posting the "Thought of the Day". Today was Rabbette-based humor, next up will be mouse-based humor, cat prey puns all around

Does your cat ever leave the house and disappear for hours?
Look for Amazon transactions on your credit card. They sell catnip. I'll bet he's having it delivered somewhere in your neighborhood, but not at your own address so he doesn't raise suspicion.

I don't know if this explanation will convince the police OG...

...is going backwards? Anyone else played with the Windows Calculator lately, and noticed its nice translucent effect when it has focus? And then when it goes out of focus, it seems to go more IN FOCUS? And I used to cuss at them when I couldn't tell which window was active by the title bar. Oh, those were the days...
|
|

Yeah, I find that annoying.
Those semi-transparent panels in apps like the new calculator and mail apps use UWP Acrylic controls, and part of the built in behaviour is that the transparency reverts to a solid colour when the app loses focus.
I think it would look better if the transparency remained even when an app is in the background.

I hadn't noticed that before. It's an odd "feature" and not sure what purpose it serves at all.
It's the same thing with the Window borders which are removed now (actually they're just invisible).
It's harder than ever to get a mouse to trigger so you can resize.
It's all just a bunch of (windows) designers testing UI features that were better in the past.

I'm guessing it's because rendering the Acrylic transparency is GPU intensive, so they're worried that people will open a bunch of apps that use Acrylic components and then wonder why their GPU fan is screaming.
It's clearly configurable - if you turn on high contrast mode or if you're in battery saver mode, you just don't get the transparency, ever.
I'd love to patch a DLL to make UWP always render the transparency. My GTX1070Ti can handle the load!
