Good stuff! Matt Rickard said: "With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody."
17:03 To this day Microsoft has not documented how to properly detect dark mode. In their documentation they just recommend to check if the "perceived brightness" text color is "light", which is just an even bigger hack than just using the undocumented APIs or registry keys.
I agree. With all stupid moves Microsoft are currently doing especially with Recall. But they don't get enough credit of allowing old apps to run. Apple don't care and kill them. I disagree with Mark. You have factories that rely on old software to run their old machines. Nothing wrong with that, not every business can afford to update all their machinery. The NHS pathology department has locked off, air gapped Windows XP machined because all the software works. No one wants to pay for yearly subs.

Ha at the closing sound!
How much code now does Microsoft rob from small developers? That last bit was quite interesting.
Release the procexp undocumented apis! 😂 Haven’t watched the video fully yet.

Apathy is not a skill
There it is episode 005 😂
Hi friends
I assume Mark is easy 50+ with zero grays or dye?
