Nigh all media is 16:9. What's this obsession people have with 16:10? Isn't it inconvenient to have black bars along your videos and pictures?

Sidebars are the hot new thing. Latest Microsoft apps are all starting to enable them by default

Well that's progress. And yet they removed vertical task manager from Windows 11 😢
My windows laptop is sticking with windows 10 as long as I can, hopefully vertical taskbar is back by the time I'm forced to upgrade. Maybe by then it's windows 12, continuing the tick-tock release cycle of good and bad Windowses 😂
Also, shoutout to Firefox addon TreeStyleTabs for having vertical tab management

Flashback to ~2008-2009 when all laptops went from 16:10 to 16:9 and we couldn't understand why. 16:9 was for TVs and watching movies. 16:10 was for computers to do work.
While it's true finding 16:9 desktop backgrounds is easier, and watching movies and TVs without black bars is nice, 16:10 is much nice when actually using a computer to do work. Taskbars, toolbars, tabbars, headersbars etc take up a lot of precious vertical space, leaving less space for application content.
