Ukraine now has not a single power plant that was not hit by missiles, most of them not operational right now. Kyiv currently is -13 °C. People are freezing for days, pipes are bursting. And we got so used to the news of the war, that it's not even a front page story any more.

In 2009, Microsoft made it a focus of the Windows 7 user experience guidelines to reduce pointless notifications. They point out notifications like the classic “There are unused icons on your desktop” as being in the Windows XP Hall of Shame™. Seriously, it’s in there: learn.microsoft.com/windows/wi

In 2026, Windows interrupts you to ask if you want to clean up printers you haven’t used in a while. The intent is unclear (which printers?), there are too many choices, and it stays visible until you click an option.

For a good while, Microsoft were limping their way to good UX, and this doc was finally a clear set of guidelines. Now, it feels like they’ve slipped back into the Windows XP Hall of Shame™ era, and any good UX they happen to come up with is an accident.

A Windows 11 toast notification:
Print Cleanup Notification
We noticed you have some unused printers. Would you like to remove them?
[ Yes ] [ Ask later ] [ No ]

「斩杀线」

说到这里,中文各种小圈子里头「老人不喜欢新人」的现象是不是老人设的「斩杀线」?

(叠个甲,跟牢 A 口中「斩杀线」的不一样,这个帖跟政治无关)

Today's technology & language mess: Google's voice to text is censoring slur. I wanted to say DPD, in a message in French, which is a delivery company. It understood "des pédés", French homophobic slur, so of course, it censored it.
That delivery company must have many issues in French. 😅

Screenshot of my phone keyword with a voice to speech message where I mentioned, in French, that I was waiting for a package from DPD but instead it wrote " des p****", censored version of "des pédés"
