@remi I would say Huawei. My Sony phone gives me notifications for text messages just fine
It does give me notifications now that I have turned this option on. So maybe it's Huawei who decided to have this option in the first place, but equally the option is basic Android stuff and Huawei just decided to turn it off by default (which is a debatable choice, but a different matter).
And in either case, I have no idea who's fault it is for the misleading label on the option, which really is what's annoying me (the option itself is a fairly reasonable one to have).
-
off by default
That saves power, but perhaps is a misconfiguration anyway (since messages are often pretty high priority things).

Thanks, eBay.

So I want to send a company-wide announcement. Outlook is rightly warning me that it's an email addressed to more than a few people:
So just to confirm I click on "Show details".
Thanks, Outlook!
-
@JBert add second recipient and suddenly this feature makes perfect sense.
-
@Gąska You almost got me to admit that I'm treating Outlook unfairly, but it will not work. If they wanted they could have hidden the "Show details" link!
-
@JBert Let him who has always special-cased one element lists in UI code everywhere it makes sense to do so cast the first stone.
-
@Gąska It's GUI code, so it's going to be full of special cases anyway. It's also written for one of a major corporation's flagship products; they can afford the effort required.

Let's add one more and double the amount of testing required!

Your logical fallacy is: holding Microsoft employees to higher standards than you'd hold yourself.
-

That's assuming you wouldn't be testing this in isolation but all possible state combinations. That'd already be IEEE754
+inf
, with that option or without.

It's UI. Everything depends on everything. There's a reason why "randomly click everywhere on the screen without rhyme or reason" is such a popular automated testing technique.

Usually not. It's the things that affect the layout of components (as opposed to how they're drawn) or how they react to being clicked that matter. In this case, there's no size changes and they're already an active area at times, so tweaks can only be minor.

That's just a variation on the theme of fuzzing.
-
@Gąska But that means you're already not testing all combinations, so the addition of one more feature to countless other features changes nothing.

Editing events in Outlook…
What is "Delete" doing where "Save and Close" used to be??
-
What is "Delete" doing where "Save and Close" used to be??
Possibly an attempt to make it more consistent with the new email window, where the Send button is in the same place as where the Save and Close button is now? The Save button (edit: when you go to create an appointment) is in the same place as well.
(Now that you mention it, I did notice that something was different when I was putting things in my calendar on my home PC, but I didn't realise what it was until you pointed this out.)
Another edit: it would be super nice if they could make Ctrl+Enter save calendar appointments and contacts and etc. as well.

Dat progress bar.

Which illustrates the fact that you should never confuse "popular" and "good."

This is not acceptable! And reinstalling did not fix the issue. It's a schematic anyway, it should be a PDF for sharing with third parties. I don't want to install your crappy my-first-CAD-tool just to view it.

@Cursorkeys Someone forgot that qwindows.dll now belongs in a "platforms" folder and putting the DLL right next to your application EXE's/DLL's doesn't work because Qt is special.

It was actually even stupider than that. The
platforms
directory had no access rights for my user but all the other directories did. I don't even want to know why it was screwing with the permissions in the first place.

I don’t see it.
The progress bar is the green thing under the text that says “Status: Installing Java”. HTH.
-
Dat progress bar.
I don’t see it.
This is not one progress bar. This is two separate progress bars - one full and expanding, one empty and shrinking. There's a single-pixel dent in the top and bottom borders right where the full and empty parts meet - it cannot be explained any other way.
-
@Gąska Ah, yes, does look like it. But it’s not too noticeable for the layman, especially with all the other garbage in that window, so it’s more of an implementation WTF than a UI WTF.
-
@topspin I know, TRWTF is that I noticed it immediately and that I find it extremely annoying, more annoying than their bragging poster.
-
@Gąska No, TRWTF, noticed immediately and more annoying than either the progress bar or the bragging poster, is the fact that you're installing Java.
-
@HardwareGeek I didn't choose Java installation, Java installation chose me.

Pretty sure that's called rape.

Could we kill Java by launching a shaming movement on Twitter?
...Nah, that wouldn't work. Oracle has no concept of "shame".
