Respected All Members of HackerNews Forum,

Myself wanting to share one very Positive Experience regarding recent Windows 11 Inside Product update released by this Microsoft organization under guidance of Pavan Duvaluri Sir. After using same for some time, I am feeling it is only correct to put some Appreciations in Public Domain so others can also take note accordingly.

Frankly speaking, the way they have done the Needful in this Update is very much Impressive. Many Features have been improved, Performance is now very Fast, and overall User Experience is coming in very Smooth manner without any unnecessary Disturbances as earlier was happening constantly..

I am especially noticing that System Stability and Responsiveness has been increased in quite Significant way, which is clearly showing that proper Analysis and Hard Workings has been done from their Side before releasing into Production Environment. Such type of Commitment is not easily coming these days.

From Customer point of view, this kind of Proactive Enhancement is building Strong Trust and giving Confidence that Organization is taking Feedback seriously and doing the Needful on Priority Basis only.

Big Appreciations to all Concerned Teams working Behind the Scene for making this possible with their Continuous Efforts and Late Night Workings. Because of this, product is now standing in much better Position compared to previous State.

If anyone has not yet tried the latest Update, kindly do the Needful and check once. You will be understanding the Improvement immediately only.

Thanks and Regards, One Very Satisfied User


Sofware gets worse and worse, who cares for the next improvement, irlt leads for faster consumption and not dignity in a humal life.


Looks great!


Cool!


How do you fake a shader? What does that mean?


You simulate them running in the browser instead of a GPU


You mean the CPU right? Browsers can send commands to the GPU too.


I have been denounced :(



Keep your head up ;)


Why need to scan for them? Windows/Linux/MacOS are full of vulnerabilities, even a script kiddie, with the right motivation, can access our data.


1. Change the logo from a demon to something else. (no matter if it is a play on the word "deamon", it is repulsive to many of the 2.4 billion Christians that can be potential users of FreeBSD)

2. Make an officially supported windows-like desktop environment.

3. Explain what is the purpose of FreeBSD and how does it help us solve our problems.


If you find the logo offensive or even repulsive then that's your right and I wouldn't presumable to challenge that. However, I know for a fact that there are many Christians who do not have a problem with it. "Repulsive to many of the 2.4 billion Christians" is obviously false. Many of them would probably find it equally offensive that you're (ab)using their faith and speaking in their name.


Most Christians can tell the difference between a cartoon logo for an operating system and the personification of evil.


Even if the logo wasn't the devil, it would still be unattractive to a general audience of people. The windows logo, in my opinion, is a good logo because it doesn't convey anything superfluous, it is a window.


>The windows logo, in my opinion, is a good logo because it doesn't convey anything superfluous, it is a window.

Well it was probably super-offensive to the Xerox Parc Engineers ;)


FreeBSD has actually changed the logo many years ago to a double dildo. Is that better?


Christians usually have no problem buying Apple products (the bitten apple and the Apple I sold for $666).

However, you are not wrong up to a point.


how about we make the demon gay and trans instead


Seriously, the point is not to make it appealing to a certain group of people, but to make it a tool for everyone who needs it. May it be a Christian or any other person.


Nobody cares my man. Crawl back to your cave.


You are getting downvoted, but there are obviously tens (hundreds??) of millions of people of faith--not just Christians--who would instantly reject any product with a demon as its mascot.


Funny how the desire to attract new users seems genuine up until someone mentions the glaring elephant in the room, and then you're downvoted to oblivion.

I, like many others, would never use FreeBSD precisely because it promotes the idea that demons are cute, and it's made by people who see nothing wrong with that.


I think Docker support is probably a far bigger deal breaker for people than a cartoon demon.


theres no such thing as a downvote on HN


There is, but your karma is not high enough to be able to see and use the feature. However, you can notice comments that were downvoted more than upvoted by their grey text color (if you are sighted).


thanks, today i learned something new.


Really? The logo is literally a cartoon and there is a more friendly version if you choose to look.

I suppose an overweight penguin is more apt for that audience. I digress.


That by reading Hacker News I do lose any semblance of self respect for myself.


While he gave a nod to the Windows 95 design team for the iconic interface element, he explained how he'd worked out a way of avoiding a library of localized bitmaps by figuring out how to display sideways text.

In an email to The Register, Plummer told us: "Long story short, in the production builds, I've learned they went with bitmaps rather than the programmatic version.

"My guess is that's the way the art team had always delivered them ... and so it was just easier, but I don't have any real idea. I stay away from source code leaks so don't want to investigate the technicals!"
