These videos would be a lot better if the hideous music was omitted. I might be able to hear the dialogue then.
I’d also get a proper mic.
Good stuff. Thanks for the video!
If you’ve touched on all, or even nearly all, of the major EC highlights, I’d say it seems a bit lacking. Are we missing something?
I’ve been on the beta for a few months and yes the changes are minor. Supposedly there are performance boosts, but I haven’t really experienced that. Split view is the most useful feature but it’s still way behind what Windows has been able to do for years and is kind of annoying to get to work.
Easy split-screen very nice. Best part of OS upgrades and all tech upgrades in general is to make available those life improvements only the savvy can supply themselves with to everybody else. Too ADHD to simply watch a movie anymore, too OCD to allow wasted space on my monitor, now I can screw around with something else while it plays.
I’m from Solihull but I used to live in Dudley.
I agree with Dave and maskeda, though I differ a bit on the music. It’s not to my taste, but since I’m an old geezer of the jazz and classical sort that’s understandable and not a problem. What bothered me was the volume of the music relative to the voice. Combining that with an unfamiliar accent (I’ve lived my whole life in Florida) and fast delivery, I missed half of what Killian was saying. And that’s bad because the part I made out sounded interesting.
