Yep plenty! You go to Network & internet > Related > More network adapter options and it might as well be Vista. Go to Mouse settings and want to turn off pointer precision or hide while typing? That's only in the Win32 panel. Plenty more. It's almost bizarre how much fwature parity wasn't a goal for UX and power users get the worst of both experience.
Immediately on a new Windows install, I always rush to group policy to disable certain creepy and distracting features: Cortana, Widgets, OneDrive (I pay for a different cloud service), Xbox Game Bar, etc. Hopping on other machines I'm oftern struck by how janky and unusable Windows is by default. Lately I've noticed that the "new features" for feature updates tend to focus on add-ons like widgets rather than core functionality or stability, in other words Windows is more stagnant for me. Increasingly I'm considering linux despite using Windows for work (Adobe apps) and gaming... for the latter I recently purchased MS Flight Simulator without realizing an MS account is required. I'm not sure if I will try to play it or not.
The studio is worth it if you're walking to your restaurant 6 or 7 days a week and checking out other neighborhood hot spots. If you're commuting to an office tower a few days and on Zoom or hiking the rest, it's not. And of course if you make it easier or harder to drive to the office (and consequently worse or better to get around on foot) the prices would shift to reflect that, a good example of how the crisis Andre Cooper is writing about hamstrings unrelated things like transportation policy.
This really should be a standard feature, everyone seems to have their own window manager for Mac desktops. I use an app called Window Mover that's so old the developer and dmg can't be found anywhere online, but it still works flawlessly on Monterey! Much more minimal than some of the populat apps so I keep the package handy. Using other Macs I'm struck by how clumsy it is not to have global window drag to move or resize. Fn is my favorite modifier since it so rarely interacts with the cursor (unlike other mod keys when using eg Photoshop).
If it already existed sure, but couldn't you add some wind or solar capacity to offset other energy uses in the time it would take to get a project of this scale going? When you choose the low carbon option you get the benefit of being insulated from oil and gas market shocks.
HN is worth celebrating, but it's crazy how taking the link back to early days turns up so many dead links... some but not all in wayback. The sense then was things go up on the internet to stay forever, and in not a lot of time that's proven wrong.
I don't own a car but frequently rent them, and there's always a few wasted minutes orienting to whatever insane quirks that particular automaker crammed into the infotainment, lights, AC, radio, etc. And in these minutes if a valet is not yelling at you to start the car and get out of the parking garage already, you're at least already runnning late from the contemporary rental experience. Car UX has undeniably been getting worse.
Get to know your neighbors, local businesses, make ties to people. Attend city council meetings or whatever similar opportunities you have to get involved in minutiae. Pick an issue you care about like education, parks, bike lanes, whatever, and approach advocacy and learning like a hobby. The more people get engaged with face-to-face networking or organizing, the more the city is empowered to change. A lot of the real or perceived random violence and intractable social problems are really predictable outcomes of racist and impoverishing policies and habits.
I hope that AMD having decent mobile performance in some of this year's laptops will make the next cycle of laptops really see OEMs embrace the platform. While they are catching up with performance, cooling solutions, sleek design (MS Surface, some Lenovos, etc)... there's nothing like an AMD flavor XPS 13 I could pick up now, no 4K option really. That would be great competition for Intel and potentially a better option for ultrabooks that are so reliant on integrated graphics.
