(Discussion about Windows 10)
Kenny:one really annoying new feature...
Kenny:when you drag a window to the screen edge to make it automatically snap to half the screen...
Kenny:...on the opposite side, it automatically makes thumbnails of your running apps
Kenny:presumably, for you to click on, to select the app that should then size to the remainder of the screen
Kenny:I do not like that
Kenny:i.e. if I have a segment of a window in the remaining space on the left side, after I snap a window to the right, I want it to stay that way
palehorse:what if you snap it with your window+arrow key?
Kenny:I don't want Windows to "suggest" what I do with it

Kenny: sort of like so it looks accidental
Kenny: and unkempt
Kenny: yet not too long
Kenny: so anyway as i get close to my office i saw one of the chuckleheads from the architecture firm the bulgarians share an office with
Kenny: he had headphones on, but still decided he needed to communicate, "SHIRT-- SHIRT'S GETTING UNTUCKED"
Kenny: so that backfired
