And how big is a registry backup? Typically 50-100MB.

RE: WTF Bites
Windows 10 calculator
Maybe there's no room there because every device is a phone for fat-fingered giants, and that's a pretty small window with no wasted vertical space whatsoever. I'll just resize it and surely then the button will fit.
What if I make it wider?
Oh hey, there's a whole other tab that isn't in the smaller version. That's pretty good design right?
What if I go even wider?
The buttons changed places. That's pretty good design right? I guess that first layout was more optimized for a taller orientation and this is more square, so maybe it changes again to accommodate a really wide window.
Edit: I closed and reopened it, and now it's got a title bar:

RE: WTF Bites
The whole story kind of belongs here anyway.
TLDR: Someone made an app and hired some external developers for the Android version. After launching it, he found the app pulled from the Play Store and his account banned, for some nonsense reason. He tried to appeal it, but Google didn't reverse the decision until after the story blew up on social media.
So let that be a lesson to you: Don't get arbitrarily banned for no reason unless you can write a blog that goes viral.

RE: Windows 9 (And Pandora) appreciation thread
the very first thing you do in a fresh Windows install (even before opening IE for the one and only time ever to download the firefox installer) is to go to the control panel and disable UAC and any other security garbage you can find
This advice may have been useful in the early Vista days before developers realized that they should avoid writing to system directories as part of normal procedure, but nowadays (at least in my experience) the UAC dialog only comes up when there's an actual security concern, like installing something or changing a system setting. The advice of "Turn off UAC" is cargo cult garbage that only causes harm.

RE: In other news today...
The tiny 129MB application contains Windows 95. It’s complete with apps like Wordpad, phone dialer, MS Paint and Minesweeper.
Amazingly, it isn’t too intensive on computer resources either. When running, Windows 95 only uses about 200MB of RAM and it hovered around 25 percent CPU usage.Meanwhile, in 1995:
Official system requirements were an Intel 80386DX CPU of any speed, 4 MB of system RAM and 50–55 MB of hard disk space depending on features selected.

RE: In other news today...
TLDR:
A USB 3.0 connection ran at 5Gb/s
But then USB 3.1 came along
5Gb/s 3.0 connections became "USB 3.1 Gen 1," with the 10Gb/s connections being "USB 3.1 Gen 2."
USB 3.2 doubles down on this confusion. 5Gb/s devices are now "USB 3.2 Gen 1." 10Gb/s devices become "USB 3.2 Gen 2." And 20Gb/s devices will be... "USB 3.2 Gen 2×2." -

@atazhaia I get something similar sometimes. I've started typing "South" (the first part of a local neighbourhood) and the first "nearby places" suggestions are "South Africa" and "South Korea". Yeah, these places are "nearby" on the scale of the solar system, but not in any meaningful way to me.
