@Gamers_Mate Oh, 100% Everything around Kbin aside, Ernest had a ton of stuff going on in his personal life that should totally take precedent over this here.

I did see the post about applications for instance-wide moderators, which Kbin definitely needs. But I don’t believe any action has been taken past the announcement yet.

But that’s really interesting. I just checked and I got a notification for your last comment over on my Mbin account as well. I don’t know if maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Mbin account is subscribed to this magazine as well and got looped in as well or what? I may have to look into it and see if either it’s just a bug or if I’m doing something wrong lol.

@Gamers_Mate pretty much, yeah. The post is hidden in the magazine and on the spam account’s profile, but the post isn’t fully deleted. And the spam account isn’t affected in any way, even if we directly report it as there’s no one here with admin privileges who can actually delete accounts or posts.

@viking there’s been no official announcement or anything, but the last change to Kbin’s software was about 4 months ago, and there are no admins here who have the ability to block or ban accounts or other instances, so spam can only be hidden not removed from magazines that still have moderators.

I think it’s the Razer Kishi V2 Pro.

Haven’t had a ton of free time today to look over everything yet, but the Samsung display stuff I saw was pretty neat. Especially the transparent display. Lenovo also announced a neat 2-in-1 PC/tablet that runs both Windows and Android in their respective modes.

I haven’t heard anything about any delays for any supported models, they are however gradually rolling out the update over the next week, so it won’t be available for everyone at the same time.

Yeah, the first-party Explorer definitely wouldn’t be available through the store. Since it’s a core component of the Windows system, I doubt Microsoft could separate it from the OS without much difficulty.

Oh, okay. Yeah there probably are some third-party file explorer apps in the Microsoft Store that have tabs. That I definitely wouldn’t be surprised by.

I’m not sure if they’ve done that yet. If I’m not mistaken, I believe Microsoft has only backported web-based features from Windows 11 to 10 at this point. The File Explorer redesign kind of seems like a lot to backport to 10, especially with its current end-of-support date unchanged.

I wouldn’t think so, but I honestly don’t know 🤷‍♂️. I know Mesh is based off AltSpaceVR tech, and that didn’t have legs for the avatars either, so that may be why they’re missing at launch.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I think there are plenty of privacy concerns that should be addressed. But I don’t know whether the OCR is processed locally or not. I know the plan for Windows 12 at least is to complete a good amount of the intelligence processing on-device, though that is reliant on specific hardware. And I don’t know how or whether these new features factor into that or not.

I’m not quite sure. I don’t believe Microsoft has detailed exactly how it works yet. Though at the very least, it being baked-in to the Snipping Tool makes it more convenient for the average user.

Yeah, I certainly hope not. I’m fairly confident the two storylines will stay independent from one another.

@sudo_xe
Yeah, I personally use most of their in-box apps, but it’s great that they’re giving us the option to uninstall some of the ones we don’t want anymore.

@highhomes1994 I hadn’t noticed it before, but I just checked and yeah it shows the same thing for me. I wonder what’s going on with that. 🤔

Well welcome, @StrwbrryJen! 👋 I hope you enjoy the experiences and interactions you’ll have over here.

While I do enjoy reading a physical book with real pages I can turn. I do prefer the convenience eBooks provide. I use both Kindle and Google Play Books, and its great cause I can just read on my phone whenever I have some time to spare, instead of always having to plan ahead and bring a book with me. And it’s also had the added benefit of easier discovery of new reads and authors that I might not have come across otherwise. And I do have a Surface Duo, so I also enjoy how it does emulate that book-like feel when I open it up to read something.

Okay, post created and pinned. Thanks again for the suggestion!

There are a few different things I try to do each day to find little moments of happiness here and there. Anything, no matter how small, can have a bigger impact on our mental health than we may initially think. When I have the time, I like to sit down and do a little bit of coding, or do some design work for a new project I want to start (even though there’s a high chance I’ll move on from it soon 😅). Also getting into a good book is always nice, spending time hiking or just going to a park somewhere, or even a little DIY craft project can be a lot of fun. But when I’m a little busier even little things like music, or journaling, or even a drink I really enjoy can all go a long way in boosting my mood.
