7 was a facelift to Vista. It changed the control panels back to the dipshit XP-like way. That’s not an improvement.
The kernel improvements landed in Vista. 7 inherited them. They “fixed” the driver support in Vista. 7 also inherited that.
I’m a Windows developer. Well, more so was during the release of Vista and 7 and certainly prior. Much less these days. I loved Vista. Worked flawlessly.
Maybe as support for Vista ended and 7 got continued support. That’s really the biggest difference, IMO.

That’s the thing… 7 is Vista. Just with a new UI.
Windows 2000 is XP. XP just has a new interface. 7 and XP are for consumers. 2000 and Vista are more like server editions (even the pro versions.)
Vista has Aero but also the classic server(windows NT/2000) UI. Even modern server versions have essentially the same classic control panels. And server versions don’t have all the extra bullshit(7 wasn’t so bad yet, but 10 and 11 are). That’s why I prefer to run Windows server as my desktop.
What made Vista/7 great were the under the hood(kernel) improvements, particularly to the threading model. They made safe handling non-negotiable. This retroactively fixed countless programs and improved overall system stability significantly.
There’s really no other major differences between Vista and 7 besides aesthetics(the shell.)

Like windows 2000 to XP or Vista to 7… 10 to 11
The eternal enshitification…

Android used to be a little more diverse.
But it’s been limited to the launcher(shell) mostly.
What do you think are in the best interest of the community that Google isn’t doing? Do you have any less contentious examples? As a technical support specialist I’ve talked to numerous dipshits that were talked into installing a virus on their own Computer system or phone or other device.
Some people are really really really fucking gullible.

- Comment on Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal 2 weeks ago:
Here’s my thoughts.
Hyperfiltration exhausts (overworks, think of it like high blood pressure?) the kidneys.
This causes acceleration and perhaps inducing(de novo) disease.
I know the evidence is quite weak. But there’s so many studies that show it’s making it worse for people with even minor kidney impairment and it just gets worse as it gets worse showing an accelerated momentum effect.

Lol…

- Comment on Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to 2 weeks ago:
You absolutely can… Custom ROMs do just that.
Your phone has to support it. It’s not a Google wall. Your phone maker determines how difficult it easy this is. Google pixels make this really easy to install Graphene on.
- Comment on Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to 2 weeks ago:
I mean… This is kind of why I never let people use my phone.
I have installations from various sources enabled… Like my browser, because I know what I’m doing. But I wouldn’t trust anyone as the process is currently effortless…
If someone is trying to install spyware on you (like a partner or parent.) this might offer some notification and prevention.
I don’t really see the big deal. You do it once, enable it forever, and wipe up those tears.
I think a better way would just to have maybe like a biometric/pin confirmation upon installation. Simple. Clean.

Who gives a fuck? I can play you’re game “as intended” or my way. Mods make games awesome.
If someone wants to play with AI slop mode fully enabled, that’s their choice and their prerogative and I’m assuming they bought the game so how about they just enjoy it however the hell they want to.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 3 weeks ago:
That’s Sami-correct… They don’t really regurgitate as much as they hallucinate/bullshit. Which… Verbatim regurgitation would probably be preferable. Like, how many answers (however wrong or right) do you need? I would love an AI that didn’t bullshit and would just give a simple correct answer and isn’t going to change that based on how you ‘prompt engineer’ it.

These people are likely conversing with AI daily… If you talk to AI a lot… It’ll rub off on you. At least that’s my guess from a neuroscience perspective. It’s like the hive mind effect, basically.

My favorite mod for ff7 was when they took the battle figures and used them on the over world. That game had awful geometry.
Ff8 was better. IMO ff9 looked fantastic (for the era.)
