The team really focused on craft in the new Windows Search: motion, inline previews, even how the action button updates to reflect what will happen.
It’s fast 💨 For lovers of keyboard shortcuts: Win + S and immediately start typing.
And of course use Win + F to send feedback!

I understand not wanting to triage AI garbage Issues and PRs... but this is a horrible mistake
Opening issues and PRs was the best way to communicate with the Learn documentation team (many of whom were laid off recently...)
Nobody wants to submit feedback they can't track 😡
For all you RTFMers out there ...
Yes, both of you 😂

Only had a few encounters with Ticketmaster so far but that was enough to feel the pains I read about from other parts of the world.
The platform has some neat features but that helps nothing when facing dynamic pricing, sudden inabilities to transfer without prior info, etc.
This will either end up being a huge loss for Micron because other manufacturers will eat away their market share or we as consumers are doomed
Micron locks in historically high memory prices for 5 years

The company has signed 16 Strategic Customer Agreements with a floor price it says includes “a very robust gross margin for Micron, well above our peak quarterly margins in any past cycle".

If you're a fan of pre-reset Longhorn you might know the "urban legend" of builds ~4033 having broken DCE due to a Direct3D shader mishap.
Turns out that's been wrong all along and it's just poor order of operations at init. 23 years and a fair bit of ASM later, 4033 glass! 🎉🪟

Anyone who happens to own physical copies of Windows Server 2003 (.NET Server at the time) RC1?
Back in fall of 2021 some of my colleagues work were disappointed because they could no longer reposition their taskbar. Great to see this level of customization come back as a first-party experience!

Loving the details around what most perceive as a simple UI refresh.
Updating surfaces is tricky. We did the Run dialog.
