Two pieces of computing history just met.
Commodore is returning to phones, and it chose Sailfish OS to do it. The Commodore Callback 8020 is a flip phone built for stepping away from the feed: privacy designed in, your data kept yours.
The brand that brought computing into millions of homes in the 1980s, now running on the only independent European mobile OS. Built on a shared belief: technology should give people control, not take it.

Microsoft says it'll replace the ancient Windows 11 dialog box with a modern rewrite (WinUI) in a major design update.
Microsoft confirmed that the company is working through older Windows dialogs and rewriting them in WinUI 3. The file copy dialog is already done internally, and the common file dialog is on the list.
That matters because Windows 11 still feels split between two eras. Some parts look modern, while basic dialogs still feel like they were pulled from decades-old Windows code.
The good news is this is not just “dark mode.”
Microsoft is actually rebuilding these surfaces in WinUI.
The concern, of course, is performance. WinUI has not always been fast. But Microsoft says the new Run dialog opens faster than the legacy one, with a 94ms median time-to-show versus 103ms for the old version.
That is the right direction. Modern UI is fine, but only if it stays fast.
@JenMsft@premosaysthings Is less interrupting updates one one them? Like GPU drivers updating during restart instead of in the middle of my work? Like feature flags actually containing full list of features being tested? Please tell me.
Oh, and @JenMsft how about having driver updates such as graphics drivers update along with windows, not in the middle of my work? I have my family complain about screen blinking and going black for a second on their laptops because of that.

Please put Segoe back in the place of Arial in OS settings etc. It just looks awful compared to previous version of Windows.
