  1. Past hour
  2. Yesterday
  3. There are far more pressing things to clean up over the next 4 years than revert this back. InB4 craigslist puts personals back lol
  4. If they don't have anything to talk about then why spend the money on it? They gave us their roadmap for this year, I expect it to be back next year.
  5. I was speaking about console generations as far as compatibility goes. There is no more "generation" like before where each one had a clear split from the others. It's all the same going forward, like with PC gaming. There's no notion of PC gaming generations for example.
  6. That a **t load of users. I for once use it more than Twitter these days. Lots of the content I actually want to follow such as artists, music etc. The only reason I still open the Twitter app once a week is because of some companies that I follow for customer support etc are still there and some devs.
  7. Mojang adds extra render distance, new social hub, and more to Minecraft Realms Plus by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Realms Plus server hosting subscription service that Mojang offers for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition just added three more perks for members to enjoy. The service already offers 11-player servers to enjoy with friends, cross-platform play, and a monthly selection of Marketplace content. Now, a hub for keeping track of everyone's adventures, a render distance upgrade, and more bonus items are here too. Dubbed Realm Stories, the social hub's main feed offers a place for all players to share screenshots from the server, discuss activities, and even show off major events like diamond mining, finding mineshafts, and defeating the Ender Dragon for everyone to see. Next, the Timeline tab offers a quick look at when each player is usually online in a given day, making it easier to host larger play sessions with more members. Third and final tab of Realm Stories, Members, is the fastest way to find who is online currently, their membership status on the Minecraft server, and even sort by most recent online players. iOS and Android players will have to wait a little while longer to get this Realm Stories feature though, as it's still in development for the mobile platforms. Mojang is also enabling Realms Plus server holders to have better render distances in their worlds. "All servers now have eight extra chunks render distance, which means you can spot danger, opportunity, or an escape route from further away – 20 chunks to be exact," says the announcement today. Keep in mind that despite the server providing the data, the visible distance can still vary due to the platform each player is using. The final feature being added to Realms Plus is access to new Character Creator items. Much like Marketplace items, these will drop each month for membership holders, and once claimed, they can be used forever. "Whether you want to match that ice cream fort of yours, intimidate the inhabitants of a new survival spawn, or blend in with your surroundings – your wardrobe collection is about to grow," Mojang adds. Minecraft Realms Plus for Bedrock Edition costs $7.99 per month for its server hosting services plus the brand-new additions announced today. Mojang also offers a $3.99 per month standard Realms subscription that offers servers with three player slots, but lacks other perks.
  8. I agree with you on the first part, but completely disagree with you on the second. Anyone CAN in fact do any of those things (at least here in the US). Whether or not they are successful at it is another point entirely. Net Neutrality also makes sure that those startups have access to the Internet in the same fashion as the originals did.
  9. You can’t function in society today without Internet. It has become an essential service. It needs protecting.
  10. The interface is easy but totally different to Windows and there is an app called Software or Ubuntu Software (not sure now) that contains most of the programs you want, it's like the Microsoft store or Mac App Store.
  11. Latest Non-LTS to LTS upgrade is offered right away whereas LTS to LTS upgrade is offered later when Ubuntu 24.04.1 comes out around August when more bugs are fixed.
  12. I'm going to give Ubuntu a shot again, 20 years after I first tried it. However the article here really goes into some VERY technical mumbo-jumbo that even as a fairly tech savi user, I have no idea about. I think I'm glad Ubuntu is a bit rusty, and that you can nest KVM in ppc64el, and of course that we can profile CPU's without the fear of retribution. Actually, no, I don't care about that. Is the interface easy to navigate? Does it have an easy way to install programs without using the command line or having to install several dependencies before it works? Does it run well and remove barriers that Linux traditionally has had for standard users?
  13. Poor little microsoft, no wonder they're doing everything they can to squeeze more cash out of Windows with adware around every corner, this is clearly not enough income...
  14. You defined/argued for a console generation in the sentence as you declared them a dead practice.
  15. Seems like early adopter issues. I would always give a new release a few months to iron out the major bugs.
  16. You will be prompted to upgrade (unless you turned off OS update notifications) in a couple of days (could be longer) after release.
  17. Google parent Alphabet will issue cash dividends for stock holders for the first time by John Callaham Google's official parent company Alphabet announced its latest financial results for the first quarter of 2024 which ended on March 31. However, the big news in these numbers was that it will do something it has never done before. Alphabet's press release (in PDF format) revealed that it will start to issue cash dividends to its stockholders beginning on June 17, for anyone who owns stock in the company or before June 10. The amount will be 20 cents per share and Alphabet says it will continue to pay out dividends on a quarterly basis. In terms of its Q1 2024 numbers, Alphabet had $80.54 billion in revenue during the time period, up from $69.79 billion from a year ago, It recorded a net income amount of $23.662 billion for the quarter, up from $15.051 billion from the same time period a year ago. CNBC says those numbers beat the previous expectations of financial analysts. Alphabet's stock price was up by 15 percent in after hours trading as of this writing. Google's search business remains its biggest division with $46.156 billion for the quarter, up from $40.359 billion from a year ago. Google's subscriptions, platforms, and devices division had a total of $8.739 billion in revenue for the quarter. That's up from $7.413 billion from a year ago. The press release quotes Google CEO Sundar Pichai saying: Our results in the first quarter reflect strong performance from Search, YouTube and Cloud. We are well under way with our Gemini era and there’s great momentum across the company. Our leadership in AI research and infrastructure, and our global product footprint, position us well for the next wave of AI innovation. Last week, Google announced a major reorganization of its company. Among other things, it merged its AI division with most of its Research division into one team. It also combined its hardware and Android/Chrome teams into one Platforms and Devices division.
  18. I heard the 12C variant is around 28W tops. The 16C may also fit the 28W design and at best/worse case be in the 35W tops. That is around where all the mobile parts tops with a few at 45-55W, before you get to full desktop replacement parts. With the most powerful GPU config, I could see anywhere between 28W-45W but I still see that as a win for what you are getting.
  19. Xbox and Surface hardware tanked, which is what they said would happen so it was already expected and factored in, investor wise. These new Surface devices with Snapdragon X Elite SoCs are looking promising though, so I expect that side to turn around. As far as consoles go, time to go mobile, that is, releasing a xbox handheld. The traditional home console market is stuck, you're fighting over the same group over and over. The options are to expand into other devices. A handheld with good specs and a good price, like a steam deck, will sell very well IMO. You also offer a good home console, or a dock with added performance for the handheld, for those who want more to. They also need to get away from matching Sonys release cycle, there's no point in doing that. Now that generations are dead as far as consoles go, you can release new hardware every 4-5 years to better keep up with tech, they're just mini PCs at this point anyway.
  20. I'm sure that ads in Windows start menu will make those profits look small. 🙄

  22. My company Windows 11 laptop has only one version of Teams, the new one. We got Teams from Windows 11, Teams Classic, New Teams. Don't forget there's also Outlook and New Outlook. Users accidentally switch to the new one and complain that nothing works because it's only a crappy webview with zero feature parity. Microsoft simply does terrible software now.
