It’s no surprise that Electron is a slow, poor performing memory hog. However, the value proposition here is that it allows you to distribute Web-based applications as native desktop apps without writing programming code or anything else non-web.
For some reason, all of these work chat/productivity apps decided to use Electron. Perhaps the most notable is Slack which continues to be a steaming pile of garbage in itself.
When Electron first arrived, it was actually a game-changer for desktop app development. Despite its flaws, companies including Microsoft flocked to it. However, over the years, it has started to show its age. This is why it is not surprising that Microsoft Teams is ditching Electron for Edge Webview2 in its 2.0 release due out soon.
In what has been the worst kept secret in the world, Microsoft finally lifted the lid on the soon to be released Windows 11 after leaks and teasers before the official announcement.
Funnily enough, the leaked build (which I did download) revealed most of what Microsoft had in store for Windows 11, and they still had some tricks up their sleeves.
Admittedly, this is the nicest Windows I have seen. From the corners to the newly centred start button, redesigned and simplified logo and use of translucency: Windows 11 looks beautiful. It’s very much inspired by macOS and ChromeOS and I am all for it.
What are you so afraid of, McDonald’s? McDonald’s have been contacted for comment, but at the time of publishing this, I have not heard back from them just yet.
The world was a different place eleven years ago. There was no pandemic, TikTok didn’t exist, and the iPhone was barely out of nappies. More importantly, McDonald’s served a dessert that has seemingly been lost in time: the Warm Cookie Sundae.
When it comes to cryptocurrency, despite its world-changing power to overthrow the traditional banking system and kill fiat currency (according to some crypto proponents), there are two gatekeepers who determine whether it goes up or down: China and Elon Musk.
Today, it was China’s turn to line up Bitcoin and the other top ten cryptocurrencies in a firing squad and open fire.

Even though the crackdown on Bitcoin announced by China was known weeks ago, today China showed they are not bluffing with numerous mining operations shutting down. The price at the time of writing this is down almost 11% in 24 hours.
I ditched harmful non-natural deodorants several months ago. Growing concerned with what they put into those store-bought deodorants like aluminium and other unnatural things that are not good for your body and take a few weeks of detoxing before you rid your body of them.
I am also at odds with myself. I am the world’s biggest sceptic when it comes to most things. The effectiveness of natural deodorants is one of those things.
No matter how big you are, how many resources your company has, Microsoft has once again shown that you’re never too big to fail. The latest Windows 10 KB5001330 update (which many get automatically) has broken gaming.
While gamers will be mostly affected, if you work with video or stream, you’ll notice the framerate drops and stuttering. The latest update actually makes streaming games through Streamlabs OBS a painful exercise.
A couple of weeks ago after a few delays, CD Projekt Red released the highly anticipated 1.2 patch which began to address some of the games biggest issues, some of which meant the game was unplayable (often fixed by a hard restart), as well as more core game level bugs.
And now, CD Projekt Red has just released a 1.21 hotfix which continues fixing some of the issues in Cyberpunk 2077. The changelog is quite long for what is just meant to be a hotfix (aka fixing highly targeted breaking bugs).
The music industry in the last couple of decades has undergone serious change. Some might say for the better, and others might say for the worse. The music industry is not the illustrious money printing machine it was in the 90’s, thanks in part to the internet.
The truth is, labels and bands were slow to adapt to the change the Internet brought. Metallica famously sued Napster in the early 2000s. While they won their case, ultimately, they changed nothing.
I recently bought a wireless Eufycam 2 setup for our house for piece of mind for my family and our property. The setup process was a breeze, mounting the cameras and getting things up and running also equally as easy.
Everything seemed to be going well, until I noticed quite an annoying bug. The Eufycam 2 software seems to overexpose the first couple of seconds before correcting itself.
The issue results in the first second and a half being lost of the trigger event.
The saving of 2021 is upon us. Riley Breckenridge (the drummer of Thrice) posted a shot of a studio setup with some amps, a drum kit and a few other bits and pieces. The drum kit is also mic’d up.

While Riley may be working on non-Thrice related music, we know Thrice have been writing an album for over a year now (since late 2019 and throughout 2020). It seems plausible Riley is laying down some drums; Dustin shared some demo stuff a little while ago.
