Windows10-Community

Really wish that they had stuck w/ Wacom --- the pen technology not being the same as my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+), e-book reader (Kindle Scribe), and desktop display (Wacom One, probably going to update to a Movink 13 or 14) is why I bought a Samsung Galaxy Book 12, then when it got long in the tooth, a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360. That said, it's hard to take Microsoft seriously on styluses when they crippled them to an 11th touch input in Fall Creators Update: https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Windows10-Community/issues/17 I'm getting sick of leaving the Settings app open so that I can toggle how the sytlus behaves, depending on which app I'm using, so I'm looking into making a cyberdeck w/ an rPi 5 and a Wacom One 13 Gen 2 display.

The thing that kills me, is that I've had this problem with a stylus ever since Fall Creators Update in Windows. https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Windows10-Community/issues/17 Fortunately, there is a setting for this in Firefox: >about:config change: dom.w3c_pointer_events.scroll_by_pen.enabled set it to False.

The big feature I miss was taken away in Fall Creator's Update --- styluses working as styluses and selecting text, as opposed to being dumbed-down to an 11th touch input. https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Windows10-Community/issues/17

FWIW, I found the Newton quite workable and carried and used it constantly --- took all of my college notes on it, and in particular, art history, where the professor asked if I could share my notes with a learning-disabled student who had difficulty note-taking and reading handwriting, so I faxed them to the fax machine in the secretary's office. - handwriting recognition ensured that the text was legible - the stylus allowed me to include small thumbnail sketches of each slide - since I had my own copies of the art history texts, one of which I kept in my locker for class (the other was at home for studying), I also included page references to the textbook After I graduated, I learned that copies of my notes had been shared amongst everyone in the dorms taking that class and that the average grades since then were markedly higher, and t

> try using a pen or touch as a meaningfully usable interface Have you tried doing that on windows? No a pen is not supposed to be used for scrolling on a pc, it's not a smartphone: https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Windows10-Community/issues/17 I have seen windows ads on pro/enterprise on the lock screen even.

At least unwanted apps aren't as onerous as actual behavioural changes --- Fall Creators Update crippled my active stylus making it impossible to select text or draw in Macromedia Freehand/MX using a Staedtler Noris Digital Stylus: https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Windows10-Community/issues/17 I've had to roll back twice now and the only technique I've found which works to block updates on Windows 10 Home is to have the C: drive so full that MS can't download the update.
