They added a “feature” where to improve the loading time of the start menu (which is already a fucked up thing to need to say) they briefly lift power limits from the cpu when you press start
Lmaoooooo. What if people started pressing start to fix their game fps because that?
The turbo button is back. Awwww yeah!

Great ragebait! for a second I almost thought this was real
This is so fucked up. They know the thing they built is shit, and they refuse to go back on it, so the hack shit to make it seem like it’s less shit.
I’m a React developer too and I went tf off on the project manager who suggested we replace the company’s perfectly fine Wordpress homepage with a self-built page running on React. Actually, never ever use React for anything that matters. It’s exclusively suited for making janky browser games and B2B applications.
We had a Svelte application. We chose svelte because it’s simpler than React is, and it’s much faster. However further down the line a consultant said to the CTO that we should move to React. I said React is more complicated and has more edge cases, and its slower, but the consultant said more people know react and it has a bigger community, so we switched to React. This was fairly early in the project. React has sooo many edge cases. It’s not made with async in mind, if you forget to add a [] to a useEffect it just breaks your application completely instead of doing the more sensible thing, it says “don’t use useEffect” but there’s so many “except when” that you end up using it everywhere regardless. Later on the CTO got all in on Claude Code, so we spent the easter holidays rewriting the app in Svelte. Except a few bugs it was feature complete by that week and in production a few days later.
It’s much, MUCH faster now, and the code is much simpler. We lost absolutely nothing by moving back to Svelte but gained a lot.
Edit: not that using either of these is sane thing to do in the start menu. The start menu should not be a web application.
Yeah, you’d use htmx on the start menu. It has all the telemetry these guys want
What’s a B2B application? Backend To Backend?
Butt 2 Butt
Aka the inverted human centripede
Business to Business
Bozo 2 Bozo
Yeah, they said that.
TL;DR: Microsoft devs are mac users.
Ironically Apple would never allow a first party app to be anything other than Swift. No React allowed.
Some parts of Music preferences are in fact, react: https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2022/inspecting-web-views-in-macos/
Somewhat surprising, they’ve managed to keep everything consistent and performant enough that I couldn’t even tell.
I lol’d 😂
While working for a CDN I learned that every press of the Windows 10 Start button involved at least one call to at least one remote hostname to fetch data about the local weather to be shown in the Start menu. I presume machines were caching the response for a while, but realizing that this host was getting poked (and who knows how many others) every time someone clicked that button continues to blow my mind.
PS: 🤘
J’en reviens pas que c’est un québécois qui a implémenté le menu démarrer de Windows 11.
J’haïs le nouveau menu.
Si j’le voué m’en va y donner un char de marde.
Omelette du frommage
If I could go back in time but only have the power to change something really inconsequential, I’d go to whenever this episode of Dexter’s Laboratory was written and force the writers to correct it to “omelette au fromage”.
This is absolutely my dumbest pet peeve. Instead of cheese omelet, “omelette du fromage” reads as “omelet from cheese”.
I think it’s funny, and probably the intended joke, that he only knows one word and it’s incorrect.
un char de marde
Is that 8 bits of marde?
That doesn’t sound like a lot of marde, but probably more marde than I would like to receive on any given day.
“Un char” in Canadian French means “une voiture” (a car).
Caliss de menu de chien
Be grateful its not written with straight up react wrapped in electron
It saddens me that it isn’t. That would be a lot funnier. Well, as long as you aren’t forced to use it in your life. I use Arch btw
It might as well be. My sister has a better hardware than me and it takes on her Device like half a minute to load the start menu on first try. On my CachyOS it takes idk. I can’t distinguish that well regarding fractions of a second.
Insert some linux joke about CPU efficiency.
I really hope this is real
On Windows, can I rebind the start button to just open a folder with a bunch of shortcuts?
On Windows, can I
No you can’t. In general. Being able to goes against Windows ideology.
Maybe, but they’ll patch that as soon as they notice people doing it, forcing you to slightly modify the method because they aren’t very good at their jobs, plus every now and then an update will just revert your changes for no apparent reason.
Microsoft is trying to ditch everything that made windows customizable, so no, don’t count on it, they will break whatever you’re trying to do.
Not that i’m aware of. Start10 can replace the default start menu though. https://www.stardock.com/products/start10/
