  1. Mi MIX Alpha out now in select stores in India

    I don't think it's foldable at all. It just has a screen that's wrapped around the phone.

  2. Tesla allowed to cut down trees for fourth gigafactory

    So the guy buys the land, get's ###### on for using the land, promises to buy another plot of land and plant trees on that, and you're still ###### on him? This is why nobody should take SJW seriously.

    Yep, likewise. Every time she was on screen I thought for a second it was Marina. Perhaps a relation? Jeri would look better than good in a filthy potato sack.

  7. Bethesda Softworks is pulling its games from Nvidia's GeForce Now

    Notice it's Activision Blizzard and Bethesda... Two companies getting a world of crap for their greedy tactics and half-assed game development. The hell with them, honestly.

    Wow. I think it may be Star Trek nostalgia, but I found that quite emotional. And I agree, they must have known what they were doing by casting Necar Zadegan.

  12. Tesla allowed to cut down trees for fourth gigafactory

    Seems the only reason the court ordered Tesla to pause was so that the complaint could be processed. The forest in question was planted specifically for being harvested, it was not a naturally occurring forest.

  13. In what way is this different from Apple forcing the same thing for iOS or macOS devices (or Google doing the same thing for Android devices)? Basically, it isn't.

    The lady that Seven wanted to kill. Did you guys notice the amazing resemblance she has to Marina Sirtis? I thought it was her there for a minute. She looks just like her. And by the way, Jeri Ryan still looks good!!!!

  20. It is harassing the end user. They should all try attracting users instead of warnings and other persuasion. His point was MS does it as well with Edge. Even notification in the action center saying Edge has better battery life and to use it over Chrome. My point is everyone does it and everyone should stop because it's annoying

  21. Palit outs fanless GeForce GTX 1650 KalmX for silent PC lovers

    So because a bad thing happened more than 10 years ago you refuse to buy their things? What, will you dump ASUS and MSI as well? Dude, what the hell. Back off, people are entitled to their opinions of companies. They're also entitled to elementary logic. If you refuse to buy from brands that ever had any faulty products, you'd never buy anything from anyone.

  26. Google is trying to dissuade Edge users from using Chrome extensions

    Mines similar, but don't actually use my Gmail for anything but YouTube. i only have chrome installed for google products. And i use Brave on my iPhone to watch youtube only. I dont use their search, or their email. Its not easy to stop using google. But it can be done you just have to change the way you do things. Well Youtube is pretty useless without a Gmail account Why do i need a gmail account to watch youtube? You don't? I can't remember if the app needs to. But as for the web version, you don't have to. For it to be useful, aka recommendations and subscription tracking, yes.

  27. And THIS is why I will never use crapjunk 10 from microscrap. It's nothing but malware pushing out constant trackers that has bloatware hidden inside of it. They can take their 10, and shove it for all I care. The once great Microsoft that I remember, no longer exists. It died when XP support ended. MS cares about one thing, and one thing only. $$$$$$$. MS doesn't care about you, or me. They don't care that we've supported them by purchasing their products since DOS 5.0. And by them forcing broken updates on us, it shows US just how much MS really cares about the customer. Here's some really cool information, stop giving them insanely sized paychecks. If the money stops rolling in, I bet you then MS would really listen to its customers.

  28. Anyone remember when you could just easily chose whatever the hell you wanted when installing Windows? Now you have to “trick” the operating system in order to gain some control. A damn shame what has happened to my beloved Windows. Just embarrassing.

  29. Not sure why anyone would be interested in a Samsung which costs 1k + and gives around 1.5 years of support! And not to mention all the bloatware which just hogs down the whole android experience!

  30. As far as being comparable, the OnePlus and Samsung devices are going to be about as close as you're going to get right now I believe unfortunately. As much as I'm invested in the Android ecosystem I may actually consider an i device depending on the price of their next SE model once announced. I'd miss being able to customize my home screen but Apple has come a long way in a lot of other areas in iOS. Yea, I had a Samsung S5 and S7 and it was okay, my Girlfriend had the S8 and it was brutally slow. There was so much Samsung bloat on it it was crazy and the battery was garbage. It has sort of made me leery of Samsung. Beyond that, her S8 had like 1 major Update and was left. I don't want to pay >1000$ for something only supported for 2 years. At least I am not alone in my consideration in moving from Android to iOS pretty much purely due to the device options and support,. Bloat is kind of an overused gripe on most phones. Most of the stuff people call bloat end up being integrated into stock Android 3-4 years later anyway. The reality is, vendor bloat is often the only innovation happening on Android. Yes and no. Samsung having multitasking in phones/tablets years before Google would is innovation. Samsung making a clone of every default app in Android is not though. People would be happy if they could just uninstall the junk they don't want, including but not limited to the stupid carrier apps as well. Agree with your last statement. Though I also honestly don't mind "disabling" apps instead of uninstalling them, too. Some people seem to lose sleep over the storage lost to disabled apps, but the truth is I just don't think it's a realistic scenario anymore to hear someone say their phone is "full". Plus, a disabled app seems to stay disabled through firmware updates, while uninstalled apps just come back. Setting that aside, some replacement apps do make sense. Samsung making their own browser... meh, I'll never use it, though I acknowledge Google's default browser is one of the worst ways to browse the web on a smartphone. It's even more useless than IE, since you can't even joke that at least you can use it to download a replacement. At least Samsung's browser has ad block support. Samsung's email client, though, makes sense to me as a Galaxy Watch user. My watch's email is based on Samsung's email client, so using it gives me a better experience much like using first-party Apple apps make more sense the more invested you are in their hardware. Their music app... eh, well at least you can argue that Android doesn't really have a default music app. Google can't even decide what they want their music app to be anymore. I still use VLC instead, though. And Samsung hasn't been delusional enough to try to make their own maps service happen yet, unlike some mobile competitors. Bixby is.......... annoying, in every respect. But I remind myself that it's not like they were gonna get sanctioned access to OK Google on their watches and other smart devices. What could they have done instead... I have no idea. I'm honestly not a fan of any of the voice services, except to the extent that it's fun to randomly cry out for Alexa like I'm lost and helpless.

  31. Microsoft provides more insight into the new Windows 10 icons

    loving the 2020 icons and the 2001, 2009 icons nearly brings a tear to my eye never been a fan of the monotone ones glad they are moving away from it

  32. This is old news. They've been doing this for a month or two, which I discovered awhile back when I tried setting up a new computer. All you need to do is unplug your ethernet and/or disable your wi-fi, type in your local username, then go through the setup until you're past the Q&A asking for email addy, Cortana and other preferences etc., then plug it back in and proceed. Problem solved. (Sorry if someone else posted this workaround!) Have a good day, all.

  39. I have 5 systems and I don't want to use a MS account on them at all. I don't want anything shared or synced. This is just a hassle for a person that jumps around and tests stuff a lot to have to go through that then manually change it after the fact Don’t enable OneDrive. Also, I imagine you can still create a local account, it sounds like it is just requiring the account created by the OOE process to be an MS account. i am not saying I agree with MS, I am just saying that your use-case is a little weak, you have very easy workarounds.

  40. I'm not sure about macOS, but I believe Google and Apple have always required accounts for phone devices. The issue here is that MS is removing functionality for no reason other than business purposes. It's interesting that this change will only ###### people off. I don't see anyone saying this is a good thing. Another reason this is a bad idea is now this will be a huge hassle if you're trying to create a virtual machine or just install a copy for testing purposes. Neither Google or Apple require accounts for their devices. You can bypass both logins during the initial OOBE.

    I think you're confusing b0se with Bant. b0se is more known, if memory serves me right, in the classic theme styling. However, and that's the reason I'm replying, it's great to see you back mate! Holy crap, that's been ages. CouchPotato™

    Tiles aren't that great, but I check the weather there and also use the news live tile. I hope Microsoft doesn't get rid of them interely. Just have an option to alternate between "normal" icon and tile.

    That is how I saw it, how many years has it been now that she has been 'human' again?

    I think her doing what she did shows she's more human now. How many people would snap and go down the same path if they went through the same thing? It's interesting and at the least shows just how much things have changed since the supernova hit.

    I guess we'll agree to disagree. The entire thing cheapens her character. As well as Icheb. What a terrible end to that arc. All in all though, the episode played out okay, felt like the Star Trek I used to watch. I hope we see a bit more of Seven sometime in the Trek Universe again, maybe to redeem herself in a way. Sums it up perfectly:

  50. 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.
