Besides, you can find a tremendous number of examples those last years of UIs changes aiming to "modernize" perfectly fine and functionning stuff, and end up in disasters in accessibility and user-friendlyness.
We often see people complaining about how some UIs on various OSes or softwares haven't changed in years but, in a lot of cases, it's just that once you've found the most clean, simple and obvious way to make a UI element/menu/etc., why would you ever change it?
I mean, there's a huge lot of objects in our everyday life that haven't seen change in their basic shape since...their very invention, and nobody would have the idea of changing that. Why should it be different for softwares?
So far, according to my few usings of Windows 11, there's a significant number of pretty basic UI ergonomy stuff where you get the feeling that someone at Microsoft look at how they are in Windows 10, and said: "Nah, it's too simple and obvious, let's make it more complicated."
Like, another one I discovered this morning, default applications. On Windows 10, you got a simple, clear, user friendly screen in the settings where you choose your default browser, mail client, music player...
On Windows 11, someone felt it's a clever idea to remove that screen, and replace it by what on Windows 10 are the more advanced options to fine tune which soft opens which type of file.😫
@Sylvhem Ah, oui, concept notamment inspiré de l'époque 32e siècle dans Star Trek Discovery, avec certains éléments des vaisseaux de la Fédération qui ne sont plus attachés physiquement à la coque principale. Quel dommage tout de même de ne pas avoir pris en compte que nous, en 2024, on a pas la même maîtrise des champs d'énergie !
Work rantAnd I wouldn't risk my job for yet another out-of-frame request from him, all because it pisses him off to take the time to ask his service integrator.
Customer's manager wants us to use admins accounts to bypass access rights on a folder, because former user forget a file in it. Literally what we're not allowed to do at all both for security and confidentiality reasons.
He's complaining because "it's only a matter of 5 minutes, and the user is lacking that file for a month now". And he keeps asking us what request he should file, as if we had knowledge of the entire request catalog.
I have no idea. We technicians. We receive the requests, we don't file them.😠
