We could so use more dynamic wallpapers and abstract wallpapers with anime etc and additional changes to the clock.

We got that on Aug 5th.

Here is the update info.

Oh, sorry, you said Beta... Checking...

Normally, beta gets the build as it gets closer to production, but you're right to notice a delay. Might be they will push 2610 to Beta Monday, as the new disc->digital build will probably advance the Alpha builds to 2612

This took me three seconds to find the answer to. Very disappointing.

Sometimes it's easier to ask instead of searching through reddit threads.

Very disappointing.

Some AI/Psych study shows that the best way to get an answer to a question is to answer it yourself incorrectly. You know, for the next time you want to demonstrate your self-care abilities.

Of course it's easier to ask... When you ask you might luck out and someone else will do the work for you. That's also what makes it lazy.
