  • Not that guy but another: No. You? Because Microsoft is a lot of things but walled gardens is something out of Cupertino. Not Redmond.

    You can call MS shitty and I would fully concur but a walled gardens it’s not.

    You don’t need ad, Exchange/outlook, m365, entraid. They’re nice for most users but you can live without and use other services in their place on any MS platform.

    Now, iOS… Have fun with that.





  • I somewhat got your arguments. I just don’t feel the same about current day powertoys. They are not needed, don’t add anything useful and don’t work in a lot of setups. Current day powertoys are not what powertoys of the past where.

    MS being focussed on the wrong shit to soon: well that has been true ever since the company existed. In the end looking back each and every innovation they did was needed but just years too soon and way too rough around the edges. I Guess we’ll see the same with ai. Some things will stick and be used by others but refined.


  • All the things you say are mandatory are a distraction at best. And hog a lot of resources.

    Spotlight run: adds nothing except being a slow down. It’s not that different from the standard search/run box. It just looks nicer. Way nicer.

    Fancy zones: does not work reliable on multi monitor/big monitor setup. Useless in my use case. Has been for several years.

    Fie renamer: … Really? This is a power tot these days?

    Screen ruler: i don’t need rulers on my desktop, i need them in my apps.

    Color picker: same. I do not have any use case for it. This is standard app functionality.

    Every time i installed powertoys in the last 4/5 years i shrugged, cursed at Fancy zones for not working in my setup and removing it after a few days.

    That’s the same usage loop as rainmaker or most stardock tools by the way. Good ideas but fucks up to many things.

    The new tabbed shell. (Or not so new anymore these days) Now that is a real powertoy. Or the lnx subsysteem.



  • As an oppo user I can only say: you’re wrong. You’re very wrong.

    Samsung one UI is a godsend compared with this… This … shit.

    Popups, tracking, insane ui choices. Half of the shit doesn’t work behind a pihole which in itself is damning enough. Everything feels bolted on. Everything feels like its only there to check boxes. Nothing feels natural. Gestures here but not there. Apple style features in Android so half of the time you’re totally lost: does this option still use standard Android logic or is this rewritten as an apple clone?

    I really feel tricked into buying this phone. Excellent reviews but the user experience is very lacking. Maybe all of the reviewers are apple users and are happy to see all this shit in Android but I for one am lost. I use Android because i hate the apple way of doing things. If i wanted an apple device I would’ve bought an apple device.

    I kept it because i thought it would get used to it. I did not.

    Can we please, stop reposting this same shit pic for the last, I dunno, year?

    This is the gazillionth time. I get it. Is a stupid algea tank. where a simple tree does the same for a fraction of the cost. It’s of no use in the public space except as a tech demo or art object.

    So. Yeah… Next?
