We've been early adopters of Rust since 2018 and a lot of our infra, voice tech, and even some of the current client is already Rust, the holy grail was getting the whole client there. That means Electron goes away, and so does React Native, mobile keeps native UI but shares app code with desktop via Rust. We hope to get it into testing with users soon™. (And it's not Tauri, it's GPUI, so good guess everyone.)
Alright, back to staring at the WoW Forever login screen.

Deceptive marketing at its best...

@rmstein I use YouTube a lot. My YouTube feed already shows me recommendations. I don't need the Discover feed to show me youtube videos. Once in a while is alright, but this is too much. 60% of the content is YouTube, and I don't feel like opening Discover anymore.
Wasn't it Apple that always pushed for slimmer and light-weight phones? There is a 35g weight difference between the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the iPhone 18 Pro Max!

@jagograhakjago celebrities in India are posting pictures holding iPhone 18 Pro. None of them disclose it's an Ad. The phone is not yet available to purchase. This needs to be looked into, because I believe it's illegal. @Apple should not get away with such practices. #iphone18promax

Google Photos Wardrobe feature is an actually good use of AI.
What I would like more is fashion suggestions.
That said, I most definitely don't look like this. But Google has almost 6000 photos of me, and if it says I look like this, then what should I do? Sue?...icide?

Meanwhile Windows Search is now better than ever before.
Mac search has been broken for 2 years, and nobody at Apple seems to care.
- I open spotlight search
- Type "calc"
- Calculator appears
- I hit return
But in the 0.2 seconds before I hit return, it swaps to a random file with the word "calc" in it somewhere. And I open a file I didn't want.
This happens to me every single day.
Very unbecoming of a $5T company whose customers are still obsessed with its products.

So, Apple increases prices of all their products and then brings a new monthly loan scheme, and fans who can't do a quick math will think it's a good deal. Also, no one can beat Apple when it comes to trapping their users.
Now official: Leasing prices start as low as $17.99 per month for iPhone, $11.99 for Apple Watch, $24.99 for Mac, and $11.99 for iPad.

Next up, Microsoft open-sources Windows Phone 8.1 and the world becomes a better place...

It's crazy that Apple can getaway with stuff like this. Imagine if this was Microsoft who falsely claimed it was the EU's fault. People would've gone bonkers in X.

Anyone remember the soft-touch Alcantara keyboard of OG Surface Laptops?

I'll forever miss Windows Phone 8 designs. The large font that moves across pages, beautiful animations, live tiles. It's so sad that I'll never be able to experience it again.

Wow. Big Tech Channel found out that Microphone is always on in their laptop. How about you say "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri" to your phone and see if it hears you with its always OFF microphone!
I understand Windows hate posts get views, but @beebomco is a tech channel. Not cool.
Got a Windows Update and now Copilot is using the microphone 24*7 to listen "Hey, Copilot"
What's even happening with Windows anymore?☠️

LTT has 16M subscribers. You have a responsibility to bring the latest news, which is that Windows is on a fast-track to get a ton of improvements.
Instead, u use ur platform to create content that is tuned to make people engage. In this case, "let's hate Windows together" (1)

I have stopped watching @LinusTech ever since he started boot licking Apple in the hopes to get some new viewers? I don't know.
Anyway, content like this makes it difficult for people to choose the right products and services. (2)

These are the Windows 11 fixed for May... Just May. A year from now, using a Windows PC would be a completely different experience.
We've tested most of the changes, and I'm personally pumped!
Microsoft is finally making Windows usable, faster, and more reliable under the leadership of @pavandavuluri, who truly cares about Windows and its future!

I'm not sure what happened but I've seen a lot of posts recently talking about the "true" experience of using macOS. X feed was filled with logic-less Windows PC haters, until now.
Now do OS updates...
I like macOS, but Apple does updates worse than Windows Vista
Apple: We need 20+GB to install every update, and it will take at least 30 minutes
