> A 4K for $100 would be like a 40 inch screen with a horrible PPI. My 4K monitor was $70 and is 15 inches so, not sure where you got that figure from. (You're right that $400 is better though, that would get me a touchscreen OLED. Unfortunately I don't have that much money yet~)

A 15 inch 4K for $70? I would love to see that, no matter the quality.

You can find resellers for brands like UPERFECT all over eBay. The one I used was https://www.ebay.com/itm/313794877980, it looks like they've raised the price since then but I have that exact monitor in front of me and it was definitely $70 when I got it.

That account still sells 4K monitors starting from $100, I only have a sample size of one so I'm not sure whether their descriptions are accurate but they're pretty non-specific so chances are you'll get a brand-new product even if they say "Front/back surface scratches or other scratches issue".

My experience with UPERFECT in particular is that their monitors reproduce sRGB extremely well. I haven't checked the specs for "HDR" mode though, because Windows doesn't properly support HDR.

Since we have mouse wheels and touch screens scroll bars transformed mostly away from interactive UI components to scroll position indicators. Good components dynamically get bigger when you hover over them with your mouse or long press they on a touch screen.

And the beta is for 116. So there is no (sane) way to get the discussed and marketed 115.

It might not be sane by any means, but here are the current release candidates: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/candidates/115.0-can...

I assume this is the final build? https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/115.0/

I hope I can opt back into the more dense display that we currently have. Some other parts look quite nice however.

I really don't understand this. It already looks a little too clumped to me, what's the benefit to further putting things closer to one another? It's not like you're doing some kind of additive transformation and you need to quickly jump between lines, each email is its own thing and you can only read one at a time. If you need to find specific ones you can always categorize them or use the search functionality. I'm…

The way I use Thunderbird is I have the top section on the email list and use the arrows to quickly jump to the next email and read it from the preview window on the bottom half of the screen. Since my screen is only so big the denser display suits this better. I do like to be able to see all the emails I have to get through on one screen.

Either way it's just my personal preference there's no need to understand it.

Is that the guy who tried to bully me into donating because one of my transitive dependencies used his npm spam?

If you feel bullied by a long message, that sounds like a psychological problem on your end.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with complaining about a piece of software.

I think it's reasonable to criticize a piece of open source software, especially one backed by a non-profit, but not to be entitled or mean-spirited about it.

There are actually four "outlook" implementations now. 1. Outlook desktop - old MFC / win32 crapfest 2. Windows Mail / Calendar - new WPF crapfest. 3. O365 online outlook / outlook.com - fat web app. 4. "New" Outlook - this is a fat Electron style app based on the web app. The latter is actually pretty good - been using it for a couple of months. This is apparently going to replace all the other ones on the desktop.

5. iOS Outlook 6. MacOS Outlook

iOS Outlook is surprisingly good, though. Much better than gmail's and protonmail's ios clients.

It's kind of weird they say it emulates mobile interfaces.
