That means Windows will have the same reliability (beta or occasionally alpha quality software) issues that Surface has. Oh wait, Windows already has them since it became a "service".4 points -

I was thinking the same thing overall, the OS and hardware teams should've been working together from day 1. The UX/UI should be worked on to better fit with the new devices.4 points -

W10 could sure do with some design sense whats wrong with the windows 10 UI? It looks great with true color, monochromatic, and single color icons... along with flat windows that have no color, but have a color title bar if you want and may or may not have a icon on the left... and multiple context menu styles makes it easier to tell where they did and did not upgrade... and the mix of old and new property windows is amazing... oh and that universal app design of the control panel... amazing, having half the functionality but taking up 3x the space is a great design. that's obvisouly sarcasim... but besides the obvious design issues... windows 10 for me at least works great, I just wish we would pick one darn UI that isn't monochromatic... metro style was horrible and still is horrible... we need depth and color3 points -
Microsoft's Phil Spencer dismisses Nintendo and Sony, sees Google and Amazon as rivals
ZipZapRap and 2 others reacted to Joshie for a topic
This is adorable on every front, from the article to the comments. If there's one thing to be sure of about the future of gaming, it's that it's all a total toss-up right now. Technologically, it's absolutely boring to keep making the same 10 foot gaming experiences and letting the resolution/framerate obsession leak into the console world. Once there's nothing to talk about beyond pushing pixels, the field is stagnant and at risk of radical disruption. It's just a question of who and how. At the very least, gamers want to be pandered to. Anything that makes it look like a gaming product isn't 100% about them and the way they want to game will be rejected emotionally. But the way gamers want to game right now is boring. Gaming as it is today is at risk of having all of its direction taken over by esports, which would be devastating to its future. Nothing slows down creativity like structure. Turning game studios into B2B (selling to leagues) rather than B2C (selling to consumers) companies could be significant enough that it would once and for all turn mobile gaming into the primary market and you'd see something horrifying happen -- like Apple magically becoming the number one gaming platform in the US. Between Apple Arcade and the inevitability of them "inventing" mixed reality soon, they're weirdly positioned to disrupt in a way the framerate-obsessed and cloud-obsessed businesses (like MS apparently) never could.3 points -

It means Windows is going to look even worse and work even worse as his primary focus are devices no one cares about. Linux will be OS we will be all running on our gaming and generally speaking desktop computers. This is not like someone said 30 years ago the same. This is pretty factual. Modern Linux has no problems running any latest games, f. some runs better through WINE than Windows natively. As far as Software goes, that is not a problem for years now. There is no better satisfaction than running Windows in Virtual Box under Linux.2 points -

not true; I've been in the beta for a year and love it. I know many others that love it as well. The fact that this uses your existing Steam library makes it a win/win situation for an alternative play option when you're away from your main machine or don't currently have a gaming PC.2 points -

MSI's Prestige 14 now available in Rose Pink, with a pink bag, mouse, and keychain
spikey_richie and one other reacted to +Dick Montage for a topic
Years ago, around the turn of the millennium, a mate asked me to build a computer for her. She wanted it pink... And so I did; got a nice translucent case and painted it pink inside with LEDs, pink accessories and removed the monitor bezel to paint that also. Did a damned decent job too. So I drive it over to hers and we carry the parts into the house, up the stairs into her pink bedroom and sweet lord... EVERYTHING was pink, various shades but all pink. It literally hurt my eyes and was a bit disorienting with the light shining through her pink blinds!2 points -

Elon Musk asks Twitter if it wants to see a gigafactory built in Texas
noobient reacted to George P for a topic
Costs need to come down still for FCEV, While the FC engines and cars are better the cost on building the fueling stations is still high from what I've read. It's way cheaper and easier to build electric stations in comparison. Yup. OTOH Teslas aren't sold on the basis that they're cheap. They're sold as the green alternative to ICE. That's true, either way we do need newer and better battery tech, in general, not just for cars. Fuel Cell could very well be the future once the price is down enough, and really how hard would it be to swap the current BEV setup in a tesla and go FC?1 point -
Microsoft's Phil Spencer dismisses Nintendo and Sony, sees Google and Amazon as rivals
+E.Worm Jimmy reacted to Cask1 for a topic
Mislead comment, at least for now..........both Sony and Nintendo are kicking Microsoft's ass in the console market.....and look how is Stadia is doing? There might be a time when Cloud gaming might indeed be the focus, but that's still far off, and I think for now the main focus would be the next-gen consoles. You had great HW and Services with the Xbox One X and GamePass MS, now focus on the games, which Sony and Nintendo have both well covered.......that will sell more consoles than shiny new boxes or the ability to play on the cloud from alternative devices.1 point -

Good Twitter Thing that I Can Schedule Tweets?

The tweet might need to be approved by management for example before it goes out. It could also be perceived 7pm in the evening is the best time to post the tweet to reach your audience. I know i'd sooner schedule that when at work and not have to worry about doing that on an evening when i'm at home.1 point -

AMD bundles Resident Evil 3, MHW: Master Edition, and more with its graphics cards [UPDATE]

you can be pretty sure, it's the remastered edition, which isn't released yet. But they are saying the game bundle will only be available until April 25, and the game comes out April 3. That seems like a small window to get the games... most probably you will get the code and redeem it but the game won’t be available for download till then... typically preorder process...1 point -
Is my router starting to fail?
The Dark Knight reacted to +BudMan for a topic
Huh? They are designed to be on 24/7.. The only time my computer is off, is when doing something with it hardware wise, its rebooting for some sort of patch.. Other than its on 24/7 - and I don't even put it into standby.. Unless you are running wep, or using wps (this should be off) hacking your psk if actually secure and not something like p@55w0rd! would be almost impossible to brute force by normal people.. If you are concerned, why not try and hack your own wifi.. hashcat comes to mind, but using wpa2 (aes) with unique ssid and "strong" psk is very secure.. It sure doesn't justify turning it off as a concern.. If your concerned, change it every so often. Do your research.. But sure a dedicated hacking rig using GPU are very fast... Is the script kiddie in the apt next to you using a say a $5k hacking rig? But still with even such a rig to run through the key space of 20 random would be in the 1000's of years. But if your concerned, shut it off - keep in mind that once I have captured a handshake, I don't need your system on any more, and the next time its turned on I can auth... So you turn it on and off doesn't protect you really. If your tinfoil hat is that tight, I suggest you change your password every time you turn it on, and then go through all the hassle of changing that on your device your running netflix on, and then next time your doing it - do it all over again. Or be better to just run a wire to watch your netflix.1 point -

Is my router starting to fail?
The Dark Knight reacted to +BudMan for a topic
Use a secure PSK.. Mine are like 20 random characters... And your fine.. But any real router would show you a list of any device that auths... I have list of all auth request attempts to the network. Who exactly do you think would be hacking your wifi to be honest? The kid nextdoor? Someone war driving? WPA2 with unique ssid and secure psk is more than secure enough... But using default linksys ssid and Passw0rd! as your psk is not a good idea.1 point -

Why do you think that? You don't live in the USA and understand the different lifestyles throughout the country. We still have news you know, leaving the E.u have not cut us off from the news. We have heard about Trump and it has nothing to do with lifestyles, he is a sexist, racist pig, with his fingers in places they should never be. He gives the u.s a bad name. Just a shame that our prime minister is not much better and is about as trust worthy as trump, but no politicians are trustworthy, Well, I have to disagree with pretty much everything you just said. Trump will win 2020 regardless. Sure, he is certainly not perfect, far from it and I don't like a lot of stuff he is doing, but what is the alternative? AOC? Sanders? Grandma Warren?1 point -

US Space Force mocked for unveiling camouflage uniforms
DocM reacted to Peresvet for a topic
First of all, the vast majority of the U.S. Space Force soldiers will be stationed, surprise-surprise, on Earth, - hence the classic camouflage. Reading those tweets it does seem like some people expected the U.S. Space Force to be dressed in Starfleet inspired tight and colorful costumes, running around with stun guns Secondly, I totally expect the U.S. Space Force to have a variety of camouflage options for various external conditions: arctic, tropical, desert, etc., AND moon and mars in the future.1 point -
