Have Windows users ever wanted a single thing they added since XP?

The new terminal for example is a rather neat improvement over the old command prompt, especially with the integration of Linux systems. Winget also is rather nice. Just two examples. So yeah with all the valid criticism Microsoft deserves for quite a bit of policies, I don’t think your hyperbole holds up.

As long as it’s a easily toogled off as the search bar is, I don’t mind.

Them getting rid of the ability to have different windows of the same kind with full title bar next to each other IMHO is a much bigger pain.

No worries, it’s quite an odd behaviour. It was the same back on Reddit. No idea if there is a good reason for it or if they copied it to be the same as with Reddit.

Next time use two line breaks after each line and it will work.

Oh for sure. But my gmail address is pretty much a burner address for sites I don’t want to provide my regular [email protected] one. So nothing big to loose there.

This is not a bug. This is by design.

I’d say it’s a bug in the design as it clearly fails to work with a completely fine email.

I like to use the Gmail feature where you can add +randomstring to your email and it still gets to the regular email to sign up to random sites. But this way you can identify and block spam if that email get’s compromised. Technically this Google catch all feature also isn’t following the email standard but at least it’s useful.

Nah, it’s just a old school chat bot following a predefined flow chart. And in this flowchart someone implemented an improper email check.

It’s pretty much the same as if there was just a website with an email field which then complains about a non valid email which in fact is very valid. And this is pretty common, the official email definition isn’t even properly followed by most mail providers (long video but pretty funny and interesting if you’re interested in the topic).

Of course? Did anyone expect something else? And frankly they would be extremely stupid if they did anything they didn’t check with their lawyer first.

And LMG would be stupid to say or release anything else on that topic! This is potential lawsuit country, they will walk very carefully and I would be surpised if they didn’t check every public communication with their lawyer first.

I’m not shitting on you, but “we have ducks” has to be the funniest justification why the relationship isn’t abusive I’ve seen yet.
