CaptainTobin hi
-
CaptainTobin
what's new?
-
CaptainTobin
how is that to your eyes as far as light on dark goes
-
frg_Away
Much better. I am not sure I would still go with text shadows but ok.
-
CaptainTobin
i think shadow text will be coming back in a big way
-
CaptainTobin
so i am not gonna bother ditching it lol
-
CaptainTobin
tho the TYPE of shadow is in question
-
CaptainTobin
which is why I reduced mine down to more of an accent than a main feature
-
CaptainTobin
i do know color, gradients, and animation is gonna explode again
-
CaptainTobin
for sure
-
CaptainTobin
unless it doesn't just to spite me personally
-
CaptainTobin
frg_Away: thanks for the use of your eyes.. the various pairs available for loan are quite depleated these days and mine aren't weak in that way
-
CaptainTobin
this better be cause short of going back to dark on light i ain't gonna redesign it again for at LEAST 2 years.
-
CaptainTobin
else i fall back into the orginal BinOC Cycle of web designs and literally nothing else

CaptainTobin well Windows 11 has color icons again. Just the usability and a 1000 other things did go down the drain or it would be better :)

CaptainTobin
the problem is steve jobs died
-
CaptainTobin
tho it solved others
-
CaptainTobin
steve jobs WAS design in the IT world
-
CaptainTobin
because everyone got lazy and started copying
-
CaptainTobin
and this bullshit design era?
-
CaptainTobin
it is tim cook's fault but only in so far as it is job's fault
-
CaptainTobin
because all they are doing is copying
-
CaptainTobin
that is all ANYONE is doing
-
CaptainTobin
is copying
-
CaptainTobin
and has since jobs died
-
CaptainTobin
this is the final victory of the shit that happened with the iphone shift
-
CaptainTobin
he made something so "amazing" it broke the planet
-
CaptainTobin
except for a few exceptional individuals who persist or actively go out of their way to do more than copy reflect everything everyone else is doing.. yeah no one can do anything that hasn't already been done
-
CaptainTobin
or so it seems

Can I have my 256KB standard bios back?
-

For people being forced into UEFI because of BIOS/MBR 2TB storage size limits: use 4Kn sector storage devices to increase the limit to 16TB:

GPT does have other advantages, it's unfortunate that it's being bundled into a firmware takeover via the trusted boot UEFI features...

andr01d Only a problem for later laptops and I am still stuck at the Thinkpad x30 because was the last one I really like. Maybe the P50 or P51 but that is it then. Ok with 2TB on it anyway. On my desktops the first thing I do is set legacy boot.
-

I've mostly used the 4Kn devices to extend the life of motherboards w/ BIOS/MBR, since storage can now go to 16TB, instead of just 2

The whole 512B sector emulation seems wonky, and I think is mostly in place because of M$'s ineptitude in filesystems
