  1. Not even this was enticing enough lol. With the news of the demise of the windows store, and now this, it’ll be a matter of time before the store will be scrapped altogether. It’s a shame that windows 10 is supposedly the “last” version of windows (and what a crappy way to go out on), and with the store soon to be gone, what good are those ugly metro tiles? Poor planning and desperation are what caused these problems that plague windows 10.

  5. Bose is shrinking its retail store footprint quite significantly

    My personal experience is that for sound equipment, I'd always want to compare with another brand so visiting a Bose (or another companies) store wouldn't make sense. I'd always visit a department store or something similar to try before I'd buy. Plus it's way cheaper not to buy from Bose directly

  9. Bose is shrinking its retail store footprint quite significantly

    Rubbish. Their consumer headphones have been amazing, proving invaluable to those of us who fly or who just want to drown out the office/background noise. Their latest 2019 over-ear headphones look a little overpriced compared to the competition now and there looks to have been a drop in quality, but the QC35's are legendary. As are all their QC noise-cancelling products.

  12. While I'm still skeptical on how much human activity actually contributes to climate change vs nature and the universe running its course, companies like Microsoft voluntarily committing to changes like this is the way to go. It's SO much better than government overreach mandating such actions.

  20. No highs, no lows, must be bose. Their entry level stuff is okay, but their higher end models are certainly not worth the price, and use a lot of the same components the entry range has. Huge profit margins, and extremely mediocre with higher tier options and what you get for that price. As for retail, their sales reps are worse than a used car lot. High pressure, snake oil tactics.. any one who has experience in buying speakers more than a few times can tell you the same thing and for those simple facts, people avoid retail Bose stores or go third party/online.

  23. It doesn't make sense for each brand to have their own store. When people go shopping they like to look at a wide variety of things and compare, and pick up a few things at once instead of going to many stores for each item. I guess if they're part of a mall it might make sense. I haven't come across one of their stores (or maybe I didn't notice it) so I don't know how they're organized.

  26. Here's how Microsoft will roll out the new Edge browser

    You can change the smooth scrolling by going to edge:flags and searching for smooth scrolling. Thanks for the info but I'll stick with firefox for now. I shouldn't have to fiddle with flags to change basic features. If you have a Logitech mouse, Setpoint or GHub or Logitech Gaming software (yes there really are 3 different softwares for their mice and keyboards) can override smooth scrolling across the whole OS and apps.

  27. there's no demise of the Microsoft Store... you're confusing the consumer version with the Microsoft Store for Business which works differently Dude, not confusion. Not surprised if they do shut down the store. I mean just look at games for the store, they are poorly optimized. And there is not enough app to make up for it. Even when they promised to port android/ios apps easily with a converter.

  33. It's easy to promise things to happen when you know you will be retired by the year you've promised it. The carbon footprint of every CD they've made, every case, every floppy disk, every book, all the plastic wrapping, all the fuel used by employees (including air travel) and shipping, all the power used by their data centers/servers/offices/labs, all the production of their hardware... Complete marketing gimmick.

  38. All the cars that I've had that had Bose in them sounded amazing. Plus, their NC headphones work really well. Their HT products are lacking in a lot of areas, but as a company, their speaker science has brought many breakthroughs in the speaker industry.

  42. Bank issue with Chrome

    As Nick suggested, it seems to be Bank side issue but I would not suggest that try to explore following: 1 - Visit below URL in Chrome chrome://components/ 2 - Reload "CRLSet" specifically and others and then try again. Upon further investigating, it seems that it is known issue with this URL. Other Bugs - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1939085 People have suggested that the website uses "Flash" and "Flash Cookies". Can you try clearing them and updating "Adobe Flash Player" in Chrome. Particular website even have webcompat bug but the URL is not accessible (so could be website issue) - https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/15823/

  46. Comcast's insisting on an upgrade.

    Hello, The ARRIS Touchstone TG862G is a residential broadband gateway and router with an integrated 802.11n wireless access point (2.4GHz only, though) as well as telephony adapter (for two separate phone lines) and four-port Ethernet (10/100/1GbE) switch. This particular model is branded by ARRIS for Xfinity (aka Comcast) and was, as best as I can tell, released in 2015, so it is now about five (5) years old, and is compliant with the DOCSIS 3.0 standard. My best guess is that Comcast must be upgrading the CMTS (cable modem termination system) at their end (aka the "head-end") that your cable modem connects to from DOCSIS 3.0 to DOCSIS 3.1, and is requesting all DOCSIS 3.0 users to upgrade to a modem compliant with the newer standard. The reason for this upgrade is that the technology used in 3.1 to transfer data makes more efficient use of the channels/spectrum on the wire, and having to support the older 3.0 device slows down the throughput of their cable network. Upgrading to a newer modem allows them to provide service to more users at higher speeds, as they no longer have to support the older means of communicating performed by your 3.0 modem. At least, that's my basic understanding of how things work. So, yes, there is a legitimate reason for your cable ISP to ask you to upgrade your modem. The main thing I would suggest is that you make darn sure everything works before the cable technician leaves, including Wi-Fi access as well as your telephone lines. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

  48. A young blonde fears that her boyfriend is seeing another girl

    A young blonde fears that her boyfriend is seeing another girl... One day, the girl is visiting her boyfriend's apartment for lunch and stumbles across another woman's discarded garments on his bedroom floor. After sitting coolly through the meal, avoiding eye contact, she quietly excuses herself without explanation. She is incredibly hurt, and on her way home finds herself in a local gun shop, purchasing a handgun. The next day she awakens with renewed vengeance for her lover's betrayal. She dresses and immediately heads straight to his apartment, gun tucked in the back of her pants as a fail-safe in case things get ugly. Not bothering to knock, she bursts into her boyfriend's apartment to find him and a brunette cuddled up on the couch. As the reality sinks in, the blonde is overcome with complete despair and rage.
