>The strangest thing about this is in the system configuration dialogs where they have a set of really gee whizzy modern configuration screens but you still have to go into 15 year old screens to do many common tasks

I much prefer the older screens. They are so much easier to use.

Oh god please no. Chrome's history/bookmarks UI is awful.

And you can use whatever software you want

>Okay, you might argue that in earlier decades programmers also tended to have an understanding of hardware circuit design and how a CPU and memory etc. works in terms of logical gates and clocks

My degree included this and I'm very glad it did.

The idea of patenting a filesystem is absurd

I'd like to hear more...

Comparing Facebook to an ISP is highly disengenuous.

I know what you mean but at that point I started blaming the system! I still don't know that song.

Yep. I recall this happening. Let's all praise DEREGULATION and the dollars it brought us.

>Not the same thing dude. This interface is straight outta 2005. Chrome's interface has been being tweaked constantly over the years. It doesn't need an overhaul because it's not 15+ years out of date.

You basically repeated my point. Change for change's sake. And it looks similar to 2009 Chrome, so yeah it's quite literally 15 years out of date.

>look like it was there when 9/11 happened while everything else looks new

So change for change's sake it seems.

I think I now understand the mentality of a Cybertruck buyer

It looks perfectly fine to me.

Changing for change's sake would mean that Chrome will need a new interface soon in order to not look ancient...

I really really really agree with you.

Pull-down menus are so obtrusive! You SHOULD prefer to hunt and hunt and hunt for the button you want. The future is now and it sucks.

I also love Notepad2. Both are awesome.

Some new developments in the US are "mixed use" which emulates what you described.

Whoah if that's true it should be more known...

I thought it was a bad idea when I first read of it. It reminded me of Intel's Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture.

>The Romans modified and adapted the Etruscan alphabet, which was borrowed from the Greek, who borrowed it from the Phoenicians , etc. to their own language.

Also as I recall those are each unrelated languages so the letter/sound congruity dropped markedly at each transition.

(I'm not sure if that's the correct way to put it. Also I tried to sound really smart in writing it.)

All I see are combo units these days.

It was exciting because it was Windows NT and had pre-emptive multitasking and MAC and dynamic driver loading and NTFS.

The world is going crazy and we are doomed to suffer. I pray some of these trends will reverse.

Some youngins today complain that regular apps/programs look old and "not modern". I want to slap them hard.

I came here to make a similar comment. I've made the same Teams/mIRC comment before myself.

>The “builder’s remedy” is a very old law from the 1990s

Yeah that ain't "very old"

> In fact I'd say that English in comparison feels like a man-made language purpose built for math and technology.

Do explain!

This comment represents the analysis I remember understanding at the time. I was disappointed with AMD.

I use hckrnews.com and only visit periodically.

>those people from 90th were putting their creativity into something only handful of people will ever see, they were effectively shouting to void.

That's not quite true. Your friends would see it. As would anybody browsing any directory you signed up for - your ISP, college, etc.

Nobody cared about shouting at the world back then.
