Morter posted:Wait, what's a load? I would never want to run a HDD all the time, just a bunch of unnecessary wear and tear on it. On the other hand I'd rather just leave an SSD run all the time. I don't think there's too much issue with turning your computer on and off, though I'm not sure how the fast boot and kernel stuff works. If it saves poo poo to your drive for the faster boot, that is unnecessary wear on an SSD and should probably be avoided. Overall probably not something to be too worried about to be honest.

Wear and tear on any non-lovely part is not a concern. That being said, failures do happen and you should have backups of anything you treasure.

I haven't used GPO to dictate update behaviour until 1607. Yeah, I tried that out yesterday, and today there was a Defender update that was begging for attention. Hrm. Hopefully the "Configure Automatic Updates" setting by itself will do the trick.

Edge extensions still aren't available in private browsing. This is a deal-breaker. For security-conscious people, Chrome lets you toggle which ones are, and defaults to none of them. EDIT: Also you'd think that if Firefox of all browsers can get color emoji working; what the hell, Microsoft.

As soon as true multiprocess (E10S with multiple content threads) gets enabled across the board, I'll absolutely start recommending Firefox again. Everyone looking for a replacement for the mess that Chrome has turned out to be should keep an eye on Firefox.

For reference, for those without Windows 10 (possibly 8.1?) and Firefox For further reference, color emoji fonts are all-caps WEIRD. The Apple way is to use a bunch of PNGs in an ostensible font file. These things only scale well if the images are (and therefore the font file is) enormous. The Google way (which Linux adopted ish) is to use a bunch of SVGs in an ostensible font file. Precise, small, standard ish. Not too bad, but if your system's font manager doesn't know how to handle SVGs it'll throw up or at least reject it somewhat gracefully. The Microsoft way is to extend OpenType with layers. Falls back to mono gracefully, small like SVG. In theory you could also custom-color the emoji, for good or ill, but I haven't seen that much beyond the inclusion of skintone modifier characters, and it could be hard to work with as type has traditionally been single color per character and you'd need to have a graceful way to change the entire glyph's palette gracefully to match - which may be not just difficult but hard. That said, I expect not supporting layered OpenType from Google and Chrome since they're only dealing with Windows at all to gather users and hopefully drag them away to Android and ChromeOS, but you'd think Microsoft would adopt their own technology in their own browser. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Aug 12, 2016 |

Oh yeah, also, most people see emoji places like Twitter, and at least Twitter substitutes images in for emoji glyphs on at least its Web site. So it's entirely possible for people to never notice because they've never seen emoji type outside a phone.

This is typical Microsoft, but the Firefox bookmark work-around I found was to import them to IE first then into Edge.

Does the Anniversary Update install all up-to-now released KBs? The update ran last night and I have been experiencing the problem that's described here. But it involves a KB that's a couple months old and I can't remember if it was installed before the update or not. If I check the update history on Windows Update, all it gives is the Anniversary Update.

The Anniversary Update is to OG Windows 10 as Windows 8.1 is to Windows 8 - basically a new OS with its own patch set.

Edge in Anneversary Update Windows 10 is great. It's built on Chrome so porting extensions from that should be easy. Once uBlock Origin, Disconnect, and HTTPS Everywhere inevitably make it onto the browser it'll be what I recommend to everyone. Right now Edge's biggest problem is the negative perception it has from its association with Internet Explorer.

I guess I'll just occasionally google it and hope a fix comes. According to the link I posted, the fix was to uninstall the problematic KBs but that's impossible if they're hardbaked into the OS now.

Yeah, anniversary edition Edge is a big step up in terms of performance, and is far ahead of Chrome for touch devices. It needs more extensions, but getting adblock and lastpass right out of the gate was a good move.

It seems they added colored fonts on Windows two months ago, so it should be in the Developer branch if not the beta by now. Also, Edge supports colored fonts just fine. However, its default font is not a colored font, and since colored fonts aren't standardized, Web pages would need to specify "Segoe UI Emoji" to get it to work. It's still an easy fix the Edge team hasn't bothered with for some unknown reason.

Every version of IE has been as standards compliant as any other browser around the day it comes out or even better (especially for IE4, IE5 and IE6, IE was far and away better on standards then contemporary Netscape or Opera or whatever else was around). The problem always was they wouldn't really move onto new standards until they released a whole new version of the browser years apart, unlike how since ~2004 or so other browsers were much quicker to patch things in.
