I feel as though your post completely validates the way I feel when it comes to the dumpster fire that is infamously known as "Outlook". My Post About Microsoft Outlook[^] I now now use the term "Outlook" as a four-letter word. Hey, Microsoft, go outlook yourself with a spoon. :mad:

Very good points! Everything is a trade-off. :thumbsup:

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm not a Mac user, but a couple of things give it away: - The red/yellow/green buttons in the top-right corner - The rounded corners - The skeuomorphism used, like that big knob control, and the shadow that is cast underneath it (which a coworker of mine would insist makes things look like they're dirty)

I never take for granted anything it comes up with will work, so I review and test everything carefully instead of blindly cutting and pasting into my code, so it does have its uses (and clearly, its limitations). Obscure APIs, or writing boilerplate code that I've written a million times before, but can't be bothered to remember at that particular instant (or to refactor once and for all into something reusable, but that's a separate matter) :-)

I understand. Maybe it’s because I didn’t explain it clearly. Maybe it’s because my English is not that good! My project is a software material "file" (such as xxx.bin). It is not an image file (such as bmp png...etc.) but a processed file (such as 0x4000~0x5000 blocks to store each pixel) Corresponding position, 0x7000~0x8000 block stores the pixel values ​​used, sorted and stored) After the software reads the file and then performs the internal calculation of the calculation software, the result will be displayed on the software as a material graphic. The other parts have been parsed, and the "arrangement order" of the remaining pixel value data cannot be solved, so I don't care about the corresponding position of its pixel (the corresponding position has been parsed in the block where it is stored). So my need is the pixel The arrangement has nothing to do with the structure of the graph. I have a rough understanding of the image format you mentioned. So I'm just talking about the arrangement of pixels. It may be that my English is not good. Some of the translations used caused trouble in asking questions. I’m sorry! The illustration is for viewing and understanding. It is drawn using VS according to its stored block pixel data. Otherwise it is just a group of arranged pixel values.

Yeah, same here. I run MX Linux as my main OS and Windows 11 in a QEMU/KVM based VM. Works really well. I also do GPU passthrough so I can play my Steam/GOG games in the VM.
