    I couldn’t agree more. I had a foot in both the MacOS and Microsoft Windows worlds at the time and can appreciate what a game changer notepad++ became. Having used BBEdit on the Mac since around the mid 90s, it was kinda more like “it’s about time” a decade later when notepad++ was released. I’m not necessarily comparing them feature to feature, but it was a much needed piece of software for Windows. I still have memories of opening up text files and being like … damn someone f’d this txt file up on a windows machine… again.





  • I’d use clonezilla

    E: It’s not that it can’t be done other ways, it’s just clonezilla will work and has worked for nearly 2 decades. Also there’s no information provided above about the data. So clonezilla is nice if it’s a complicated scenario.

    Plus, it’s a nice tool to throw in the toolbox once you know how to use it.

    E. Why do you feel like you have to use something like dd for this particular task? Less than 16 GB of data? Ya probably could have copied it over manually by now.

    Wow. What a zinger? No really, great addition to the discussion. Thank you.

    No, probably not. Love em or hate them, they have a pretty good record on privacy going back decades.

    Google though. lol. I mean that’s THE largest advertisement company to ever exist. The same company who finally admitted they were selling their browser’s incognito data.

    That 3rd party app with the better widget calendar is for sure selling.














  • It still looks terrible IMO.

    Edit:

    I agree. Luckily the iOS 18 one is a little better.

    It’s not differentl. It’s the same as iOS17.


    Why it’s terrible.

    • What are the “2 all-day events”?
    • Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.
    • why are there 3 more events if half of the widget is wasted white space.

    Edit: I’m familiar with the widget. I don’t need someone explaining to me how to click on a widget. I get it. I also understand it’s different than the one I posted. It’s called “Up Next”.

    Despite which one you pick, they’re all poorly designed. It takes up a third of the screen and does a bad job at presenting as much information as possible within reason.

    Edit 2: That specific calendar widget you posted from ios18 beta looks exactly the same as it does in ios17. This thread is pointless.
