  1. Microsoft continues to make the same mistakes as before. They fail to understand the market. People want ALL possible applications to run on their Windows machine. Even if they never run it. Simply because it is Windows. When people have been accustomed to download a random .exe from the internet and get along just fine (mostly), any restricting behavior will be rejected. Simple because it is Windows. Surface Pro X is a wonderful piece of hardware. The new pen and slot is ingenious. Microsoft has finally made the Surface somewhat serviceable. But I still fail to understand why they keep trying to make ARM PCs when it does not do what an Intel PC does. I understand 64-bit emulation is in the works, but who makes a purchase based on a promise that may happen? I don't mind the emulation, but IMO an ARM based Windows PC will only sell if it can run all the apps an Intel based PC can (doesn't matter how well).

  3. Knowte

    Hi everyone, Most of you will know me as the developer of audio player Dopamine. Today, I'd like to present another one of my applications: Knowte. Knowte was born in 2013, under a different name. Back then, it was called Note Studio. I created it because I needed a simple application to write and organize work notes. A great search functionality was also a must have. Today, I have more than 1000 notes in my work collection. Until recently, Knowte was a Windows-only application. That changed with Knowte 2.0, which was released a few weeks ago. Yesterday I released version 2.0.1 and thought it might be nice to present it here. This is a list of its features: - Creation of notes - Organize notes in notebooks - Group notebooks in collections (allows separating home and work notes for example) - Note formatting - Task lists - Search - Runs on Windows and Linux (theoretically it can run on Mac, but I don't have a Mac to build it for that platform) - Export to PDF - Note printing - Mark notes Knowte can be downloaded on GitHub: https://github.com/digimezzo/knowte-electron/releases Enjoy!

    I stayed up for NXT last night, and I booked tomorrow off work for Survivor Series, so I'm gonna try and stay up again. For what it's worth, they're already calling it the 3rd brand in thier marketing: The attitude is paying off as well, as this week's NXT beat AEW in the TV ratings for the first time. There's a good visualisation of this week's head-to-head as well...

  7. OpenGL multi-threading boosts gaming performance on emulators

    Saw it already on Phoronix, but missed that this was done with i965 and not Iris. Slight clarification: All gallium-based drivers have supported threading for quite some time, but i965 was a special case as it does not use the gallium layer, and gained the ability only recently.

  11. You want to talk about Islamophobia, when the country of China that you're referring to is expressing exactly that in almost the absolute way, as they openly detain muslims in the way that's reminiscent of nazi Germany. Do you not understand why Hong Kong doesn't want to have their citizens extradited to China, should anyone be named a criminal? Or are they simply expressing sinophobia too? Hong Kong was not (legally) part of the PRC until the Handover - and their governing bodies have been completely different - both before AND since. Look at the best-performing parts OF the PRC (Shanghai, for example) - governmentally, those same areas are closer to Hong Kong than the rest of the PRC - GNBN for the PRC. The PRC government - even before Tianmen Square - did not exactly have a good record regarding human rights; fire up the Google-fu on the "Cultural Revolution" and the "Great Leap Forward". (Therefore exactly WHY should Hong Kong Chinese - who have never lived under those conditions - trust the PRC?) It is asking the animals up for slaughter to trust the slaughterhouse operators.

  13. I've bought 3 OnePlus phones over the years and yet think their website security is abominable. I'm not going to defend anything. That said, every piece of data in this breach (for me) is already exposed publicly. With the exception of an email address, the rest of the info is available to anyone with a phone book. The email address has been part of about 7 data breaches over the last 4 years so I think I'll be fine. Sure, it would be nice if they bothered to take the security of their website a bit more seriously but if security truly was the benchmark for using a companies products, Adobe would have gone bankrupt a decade ago.

    You can also get cheap good sounding Bluetooth headphones. I'm still not buying a phone without a 3.5mm jack.

  18. FWIW 20H1 is the first major release after the re-org for Windows OS into the Azure group; with the cloudification of Windows, there's no near-term end to new features... 19H2 was a maintenance release, 20H1 is a major re-base so that Windows has more Azure-aware native functions, then 20H2 is where things start to get more fun. Depends on what you call fun, adding more and more cloud rubbish to windows is not idea of fun. they are already pushing MS account on windows home by making it difficult to install or set up with out a MS account, you have to disconnect from the net on set up to get a local account. i wonder how long it will take before that happens on Windows 10 pro. they did it one Windows 8 pro, so being a pro version is no reason for it not to happen. the more windows is integrated into the cloud the more likely I am to stay with the version I have got and not update.

  19. Apple removes customer reviews from its online store

    Let's look at the Microsoft Store and read some reviews about the Zune. Zune reviews were actually very high. yeah, the zune's problem was it wasn't the iPod at the time Zune's problem was that it was a copy of something else, Like Windows Phone was. Like Cortana. people can copy stuff all the time and do better, Amazon copied Siri basically and look which one is all over the place now... I can't remember the last time I saw someone use siri personally Apart from Windows everything Microsoft copies fails. Windows was good luck and at the right time. oh really?... A few Office apps were copies of at the time better products... Azure was a copy... there are a lot more than windows

  26. @Elliot B. I have connected the new cables and the backlight disabled properly when entering power save mode (locking my PC) since that also happened sometimes, but not always, it will require further testing.

  27. I can see why they won't fire him Indiana U. is a State school which no doubt takes Federal funds; research, programs, etc. They must respect free speech rights under both State and Federal laws. WRT the Feds; 1st and 14th Amendments, Civil Rights Act, etc. They usually cannot fire for repugnant beliefs or speech, especially if expressed off campus, evidenced by the left-wing extremists who don't get fired for spewing bovine excrement. For either extreme, threats of violence would be different. If fired for controversial but non-violent statements there'd be a helluva lawsuit, which the school would likely lose. At a private school things would be different, and very likely partisan - whichever extreme they agreed with would stay.
