  1. Oh, #Microsoft, the comedic geniuses behind naming their Windows 8 experience "modern" 😂. It's like calling a flip phone "cutting-edge" 📞🔪. Perhaps they should've just gone with "retro-chic disaster" and called it a day. 🚀💥

  6. Ah yes, another riveting stroll down memory lane with Windows 8.1, the OS equivalent of a mullet—business in the front, chaos in the back. 🎉✨ Enjoy the thrilling adventure of installing KB3132080, the update nobody asked for but #Microsoft insisted upon, presumably to keep the Windows 8.1 graveyard looking tidy. 💀🔧

  11. I had a dream that Windows 8 used raw IP stuff and the notifications on the lockscreen and stuff were encrypted with the user's password to prevent replay attacks if someone's notification database was stolen while they weren't logged in. Clicking on the notification requires typing in the password before sending it to the destination program if the user isn't logged in.

  16. 📰 «Las excusas de Microsoft para que el Panel de control de Windows siga vivo»

    Microsoft explica por qué Windows aún no elimina el Panel de control | Microsofters microsofters.com/software/wind

    Hace unas semanas hablaba de lo absurdo que era que Microsoft llevase casi 15 años inmerso en el proceso de migración desde el Panel de control hasta la sección de Configuración del Sistema. Y ahora me encuentro con varios artículos hablando de las razones para ello: compatibilidad con hardware antiguo y evitar dolores de cabeza al departamento de soporte técnico.

    Nada sorprendente en realidad, pero a mí todo me suena a excusa. No haría falta eliminarlo completamente sino migrar todas sus opciones a Configuración mientras el Panel de control se deja oculto, con todas sus antiuas utilidades. Siempre disponible para quien sepa y quiera acceder a él.

  19. Ever notice how sloppy the Windows 8 and 8.1 desktop tile templates look, as if they just kinda slapped it together without caring about giving desktop users a good first impression of Metro?

    Compare to Windows 10 where it's a lot less sloppy looking:

    Las 7 opciones de Windows 11 que Microsoft todavía esconde en el Panel de Control softzone.es/noticias/windows/c

    No seré yo quien promueva la extinción del Panel de control con el que siempre me he sentido tan cómodo, pero me parece bochornoso que sigan desmantelándolo pasito a pasito 14 años después del lanzamiento de Windows 8 con su sección moderna de Configuración.

    No tengo claro si ir tan lentamente es la única forma de evolucionar un Sistema Operativo lleno de usuarios apegados a las viejas costumbres o es que falta liderazgo para proponer algo que rompa de una vez por todas con el modelo original, pero me parece muy mala señal en cualquiera de los dos casos. Quizás esto cambie radicalmente cuando la IA domine la evolución de Windows.

  25. For those who love MSN/Windows Live Messenger, it has been revived! This site has been around for awhile, but I thought I should mention it for those who don't know about it and also for those who are tired of modern messaging programs which are often inaccessible. Note that you must create a free account with them and cannot use an old hotmail address or whatever you used with Microsoft's version. This is the same software, but modified to work on their servers. For that reason, even if you have the original on your computer, you should install theirs. There is a way to patch an existing one, but why go through all the trouble? Escargot works on Windows, from XP through 11, and it is completely accessible with NVDA, minus the games, which never worked with screen readers anyway. There are IOS and Android versions, but I have no idea how well they work in general, let alone with VoiceOver or Talkback. If you wish to add me, I am [email protected]. The site can be found here.

  29. Unpopular take: #Windows8 was/is a beautiful OS; it had its flaws (removing the start button, full screen apps, etc.) but live tiles and the colorful start screen were gorgeous.
