In fact, the 30-year-old Windows menu was intended to be temporary

It seems a small but useful menu inside your modern Windows computer was designed and inbuilt in the future in 1994. It was intended to be a temporary stopgap until something higher got here along to replace it. It never happened, and now, 30 years later, the creator of that original menu has revealed the story behind it.
If you used a A Windows computer inside the last 20 years and also you had to format your drive, you almost certainly encountered the “Format Disk” menu window. It’s an not noticeable, easy, basic, but completely useful menu that enables you to reformat your drives using a wide range of options. The different options are arranged vertically and use drop-down menus. There can be a start and end option and… that is it. According to longtime Microsoft developer Dave Plummer, this functional but basic menu hasn’t modified in over three many years.
March 24 Plummer posted an extended but interesting tweet explaining the history of the Format dialog and why it looks the way it does and has these functions arranged vertically. According to Plummer, he wrote up the design of this Format menu on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994. The famous programmer claims that he and his team were porting “a bajillion” lines of Windows 95 user interface code to WindowsNT during this time. When it got here time to create a user interface for Windows NT’s formatting features, the two operating systems were “different enough” that Plummer had to provide you with a brand new, custom user interface.
“I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make regarding formatting the drive, such as file system, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, etc.” Plummer explained in his tweet.
“I then launched VC++ 2.0 and used the Asset Editor to arrange a simple vertical stack of all the selections that needed to be made, in the approximate order they needed to be made. It wasn’t elegant, but it was enough until an elegant user interface came along.
The thing is, a better, “elegant” UI option has never emerged. Thirty years later, Plummer says the dialogue option available in modern Windows is still the same one he designed and created that day in 1994. “Be careful not to check out ‘temporary’ solutions,” Plummer added.
Funnily enough, even the lack of consistency in the menu colons – some options have them, some don’t – was retained in the final version and stays in the Format Disk box to today. However, Plummer suggested (jokingly) in one other reply that this “bug” may eventually be fixed. (Oddly enough, a colon is all the time correct in German version of Windows 11. huh!)
Oh, and according to Plummer, he was the one who decided to limit the FAT volume size to 32GB. And this decision was a totally “arbitrary choice” that he made that very same rainy morning.
“So remember… there are no ‘temporary’ severance packages,” Plummer concluded.

Twitch prohibits Hasan Piker after a hypothetics about the Republicans killing Senator Rick Scott


Twitch was temporarily Forbidden Hasan Piker For the fifth time on Monday, shortly after the leftist streamer spoke about it, as if Republicans really look after Medicaid, they might kill Senator Florida Rick Scott. “A great scream to the right lovers of freedom of speech who devoted time for their day, shouting about Dei and immigrants to cry!” He Posted to X After removing his stream.

Scott dismissed this matter “Political persecution. ”

The company’s latest revision on this policy He got here in November 2024 When Twitch tried to melt the conversations Israel and Palestine. However, like many earlier attempts at the platform for moderation and company, The interpretation of his Twitch principles could seem unclear and never at all times equally enforced.
“SORRY!” Girls wrote on x After the prohibition. “Next time I will choose my words carefully and say,” if Mike Johnson cares about Medicare’s fraud (because he desires to cut off 800 m from Medicaid/Medicare) he would call the maximum penalty for the current senator FL GOP/former government Rick Scott- who issued the most fraudsters in the USA! “

7 classic films of Gene Hackman that you should watch now


No one can lose shit and begin screaming like a Gene Hackman. An actor who was discovered dead in his home on the age of 95 this week (in strange circumstances), appeared in dozens of films and won two Oscars. He made comedies, thrillers and not less than one movie for youngsters. He was also one of the best Lex Luthor we have ever had.
We took the chance to go away him to have a look at some of his best films. Of course, there are classics of all time, reminiscent of wherein Hackman showed its range, subtlety and fierceness. But there are also more vague thrillers wherein he plays the Secretary of Defense, who consumed the plot of the murder examined by Kevin Costner. I watched it last night, and my interest sailed and flowed to the last half-hour, which strengthened him as one of my favorite political thrillers from that era.
Sam Raimi, Western, wherein Hackman plays the devil’s sheriff opposite the solid of All-Star, which incorporates Sharon Stone, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, can also be highly really helpful. I put it this weekend. Here are the seven of our other Hackman’s favorite films.
