https://repebble.com/ I think Pebble was the last tech product I really considered "cool" and actually useful in some form before the industry started rotting away I'm cautiously optimistic with the revival, if they can keep it free software and not poison the well with AI garbage we're so back

As it happened again I have a fun fact to share: The PDF reader in the Office app on Android has built-in ads. Even if you have an @Microsoft 365 subscription, ads do sometimes show up. That's utterly insane. That particular ad I got was powered by Taboola under the hood.

Working towards getting Recall working on pre-Copilot+ ARM64 hardware again, making steady progress. A good chunk of the shell now considers my 8cx Dev Kit as eligible 🧩

Windows 11 will be getting an energy usage graph to complement the existing battery level graph ⚡🔋📊 The feature is still in early development w/ battery level data being used for both graphs. The design is already a little different though 🖌️

For some strange reason an hourglass icon ⏳ now exists on this page. Maybe they want to replace the leaf and fill up the hourglass instead as you apply more recommendations?

Configuring default apps is getting an overhaul. It's a mess of placeholders and broken viewmodels at the moment, all very early.

Placeholder page for what will eventually become Windows Intelligence settings. Should let you toggle WI system-wide, then user-wide, as well as browse recent activities that tapped into WI resources.

Microsoft isn’t secretly installing Recall on your Windows PC. There are lots of YouTube videos that claim that Recall is mandatory or being installed on 24H2, but it's not. Full details below 👇 www.theverge.com/2024/10/29/2...

Well this is a bit of a break-through (sort of) AoW running on Windows 10 RS2, the same base release as the final version of Windows 10 Mobile The implications 👀

AoW running on RS1 x86 is now a reality 😁 It's fairly hacky at the moment but a promising start nonetheless

Continuing my Android on Windows exploration journey, here is AoW (x86) working on RS1 build 11105! 😊 This is the very first build to support registering Pico/Lx providers again after TH2 build 10575 which turned the PsRegisterPicoProvider API into a dead end.

I was able to get Recall working on this bad boy 😎 Snapdragon 7c+ Gen3, 3.4 GB of RAM, no NPU in sight Will cook up a tutorial soon, it's surprisingly good even on something this low spec 😊 If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them ✍️

It's time for the Start menu to become extensible! ✨ Windows 11 β build 26212 quietly introduces support for "Start Menu Companions." They're apps that provide Adaptive Cards which display on a floating island (docked ⬅️ or ➡️) alongside Start. Used Widgets data as a quick demo 😊

Anyone moralizing about "why are you still on Twitter" cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. It's a utility of a website. Yes, it sucks what it's become, but some shit you're not gonna find elsewhere.

I think I unintentionally broke the time space continuum within a local retailer's database 1) Placed an order 2 days ago 2) Cancelled yesterday morning 3) This evening I get an e-mail saying it's on the way 4) Delivery by: today 12 PM What 🧐

I'm pretty sure that people who engineer price tags that leave 3 metric tonnes of residue on the item once you take them off have a priority ticket to Hell Just spent like 15 minutes salvaging a pair of socks after I unintentionally rolled a bit of the glue residue onto fabric 😵
