Starting with version 1903, Windows 10 is adding an acrylic effect, part of Fluent Design, to the sign-in background. The translucent texture helps you focus on the login task by moving the actionable controls up in the visual hierarchy while maintaining their accessibility.
... ... BUZZWORD BINGO!
As part of a continuous effort to improve File Explorer, you’ll now find a new default date format, which is called “friendly dates” that shows dates in a conversational format. For instance, “5 hours ago,” instead of “4/12/2019 1:15 PM.”
I wonder if "1 minute from now" will also exist there.

Sorry, while I see the point in an online context (where timezones are an uncertain variable), on local machines I want to see "13-3-2019 13:45" or "Today 13:45" but not "25 minutes ago".

Remember that we, the readers of this fine site, are hardly "typical" users. For Mr and Mrs Joe Public, "5 hours ago" is a reasonable way to express the timestamp of a file, provided that it updates if you leave the window open.
That said, I'll definitely be turning it off, because for my purposes the actual time is more useful than a conversational description of the time.

More specifically, you can use File Explorer to name files starting with a dot. Win32 always allowed it in the "long name" part of the file system (even Win95's long names allowed it), but Explorer gives error messages if you try it, which is being fixed.
I'm amused by this article, in that my machines have only just picked up Win 10 1809, like as in yesterday...

Haven't read the article, but just yesterday I got the first fast track build that didn't have the version number in the corner. So I don't think 1903 is quite here...
Ah yes...
and while we’re still weeks away from the final release

You can already use file explorer to name a file starting with a dot. What you cannot do is create a file which has nothing before the last dot, or create a file which ends in a dot.
Naming a file
.htaccess.is accepted by file explorer and results in a file named.htaccess.

I see Windows restarting for updates is such an important feature there will be a dedicated icon now.

The “Downloads” folder now shows the most recent downloaded files at the top to help users to find content faster as most people never spacify a new name of internet files, and then they get lost in the folder.
I assume they mean by default.

In the Focus assist settings page, Windows 10 is adding a new automatic rule to let remove distractions while you’re working on anything in full screen.
The biggest freaking distraction is the whole taskbar not going away when watching a movie or playing a game. I dare them to remove it.

Mr and Mrs Joe Public rarely (if ever) care about the timestamp on a file, so this change is meaningless to them. They get zero benefit from it because it's something that they were never paying attention to in the first place.
For those of us who actually do care about timestamps and consider them important, this is just another stupid, pointless change that produces zero benefit and just adds one more annoyance to the constantly growing pile of Dumbass Shit That I Have to Disable®.

No, it's not because the timestamp format that they've had their whole life to get used to on every document, paper form, TV station, website, newspaper, clocks on buildings, their wristwatches, their phones, and literally everywhere else where there's any kind of date or time, is unfriendly. It's because they just don't have any use of the information that modification time provides.

Won't be that one it was modified at half past six in the morning. Must've been something automated.

https://i.imgur.com/8lCGl9r.pngThe part I don't understand is why people still write mm/dd — or dd/mm for that matter — when they could write a month's name abbreviation and remove ambiguity.
(even if you're tying yourself to a given language then, that's a battle already lost since you need to pick between mm/dd and dd/mm. You need to pick a locale anyway)
-
@Zecc Because
format!("{}/{}/{}", month.parse::<i32>(), day.parse::<i32>(), year.parse::<i32>()). Laziness trumps all.

@Zecc said in Windows Insert Funny Name Variation Update:

I think it's simpler to parse numeric dates, place them on a mental timeline, and compare different months, when they're written as numbers and not symbols.
I also don't like semester formatting. I struggle with sorting "Spring 2019, Spring 2019, Fall 2019". Eventually I found out that placing the date first is easier to parse (much like ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD), and now I name my folders (18sp, 18fa, 19sp...) instead of sp2018...
-
I gave up on reading the article because it kept calling everything "experience". The straw that broke the camel's back was "clipboard experience". It's a freaking tool, it doesn't have to be an experience!
So, the update consists of nothing but fucking with the design, in which case I don't care, or this website is a horrible source of info I cannot stomach.
4/10, would not experience again.

@dkf Not that it'd compile, since I forgot to unwrap the parse result. Anyway, if you're smart enough to use ISO, you're smart enough to use
chrono::format::strftime.
