That Cookie popup doesn't event fit on my screen! And the buttons are below the fold. What's more I can't tell if "No" or "Yes" is selected, there's no visual identifier other than a slight colour differentiation which I struggle with.


Yep this is pretty poor. Took me several attempts to go back before I realised what was happening :(


No Mars or big mysterious alien machines were quite important parts to the original for me. The remake was very meh in comparison.


Yea it was far from shot for shot.

It had a very definitive ending, and felt shallow.

The original movie and the short story are some of my favorites.

I later read an article or something about the original movie about how when Quaid begins to break the scenes use red lighting. And when the doctor comes into the room and warns that if Quaid kills him that the walls would crumble, etc. All of it happens.

The entire plot is designed by Quaid in the beginning, down to his love interest.

So the end begged the question of whether he really uncovered memories, or if he had an adverse reaction and when the doctor tried to help Quaid shot him and delved into his psychosis.

Apparently the remake had a director's cut that tried to make the ending more ambiguous, but I've never seen that version- once was enough.


I've not tried Win 11 but this is looking much nicer than the Windows 10 explorer.

I've always felt there's far too much going on with Win 10's explorer and don't use half of it. The left navigation pane is a clutter and when you insert a USB device it you end up with it appearing twice often at two different levels. Items often appear in the quick access by themselves and the ribbon looks like they just selected the menu items but didn't bother to check if it actually made UX sense.

So I'm glad to see that on first glance these issues appear to have been addressed in Files.


I don't use Windows much, mostly just for gaming, but I do have Win11 and the issues you describe with the Explorer are still there.

I've never understood the reasoning of the reorganization that happened in 10, in particular why some things would end up showing twice.

I know in Windows 10 you could remove some of the clutter by editing the registry (which would be helfpully undone by some updates). Don't know if it's still the case in 11.


A mix of too many cooks, I would guess.

The Windows 10 file explorer architecture traces back to the XP one, with several COM extension points, and it got some re-architecture on post vista as they doubled down on using COM for what were originally .NET based ideas for Longhorn.

For example the File/Open common dialog became COM based as well.

On Windows 11, from what I have read they did a full WinUI 3.0 reboot (the migration of UWP COM on top of Win32), losing half of the features in the process.

So far I still consider Windows 11 as the next Vista/Windows 8, and am as eager to update as on those versions.



It’s that a listing on TripAdvisor? It’s not.


There could certainly be a way to provide Edge via the Store and not force it on users. Possibly the reason it's not done that way is because there appears to be hard links to it. Despite setting Firefox as the default things still open in Edge, like from the Search in the Start Menu and from Settings help pages etc. Maybe there's a way to fix this but it feels wrong to me. And it also doesn't need to keep pinning itself to the task bar either.
