  1. Oh for goodness sake. Can Microsoft not decide on something and stick with it for FIVE minutes?

    Microsoft should just hire Stardock to develop for them. Because clearly Stardock knows how to implement Microsoft's own ideas better than they do lol

  5. To be fair, the UWP version wasn't all advantages historically, as most UWP apps definitely aren't. For years, it was enfeebled and only over the last year caught up in terms of some basic Skype features. Even today (before this update I mean) it doesn't best the Electron version on every Skype-feature front, but I do concede that it had a separate set of advantages on the periphery that many liked. At least updates will still be smooth, as opposed to the standalone Electron version. Though since it's the Store, they could happen at any time, musical chairs style (unless you outright disable updates for all Store apps). With the standalone version you have more control.

  11. Sony shares full specifications of the PlayStation 5

    So, that bloomberg article about Sony having issues with cooling, 100% true after what they've listed. They're pushing that GPU to the max at that clock rate and only 36 CUs, in a mad dash to get closer to XSX as they can. That things going to run hot and they know it, thus the whole variable frequency on both the GPU and the CPU. Once your system gets a bit hot expect it to down clock taking your performance with it. In contrast MS made a point to say that it's clock speeds are fixed and don't change, they have more faith in their cooling system it seems.

  16. Are you implying it is 'down' a lot or more than other services? If so, do I have some bad information for you. Should we start with Google or Sony in comparison to XBox Live? They both look like jokes in terms of capacity, and uptime - and that isn't even getting into networks being attack or down due to malware for literally MONTHS. There are plenty of things to pick on XBox or xCloud - but when you pick the thing it does better than any other services in the history of the internet, you are trolling at best. +1 but he'll never reply

  21. Sony shares full specifications of the PlayStation 5

    Power consumption will grow exponentially after you pass a certain clock speed for a given processor design and manufacturing node. A good example of it is intel's attempts at clocking their CPUs higher and higher to counter ryzen. Look at this table from anandtech: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/13400/9900K%20OC.png In their test a 9900K was consuming 127W at 4.7 GHz, and yet it jumped to 192W at 5 GHz. That's a massive ~51% increase in power draw for a mere ~6.3% increase of the frequency. A higher power consumption also means a higher temperature. The temperature jumped form 65 to 87 degrees. The same thing is presumably happening with PS5. Sony probably didn't expect MS to go with such a high shader count and went with a lower number. Now they are probably trying to clock the GPU as high as they can to get close to XSX's performance, but that is causing the power consumption and heat to become much harder to manage.

  22. That's true, for sure desktop windows is a mess but I honestly think the UI they're working on now for 10X will become the default on both versions in the future.

  29. F9: Starlink v1.0 Launch 5

    Good launch & insertion, but the first stage recovery failed. Musk said one engine shut down early creating an Engine-Out (the other 8 throttle up), so no recovery. Speculation: it looked a bit wobbly during the entry burn, and the plume looked small. Perhaps one of the 3 landing engines failed?

  30. Microsoft releases Windows 10 build 18363.720 with SMBv3 fix

    20 seconds? Have NEVER seen an update go that fast on a Windows 10 machine, which is exactly what I hate about Windows anymore. Heck, even a Windows Defender update all by itself takes about that long from start to finish on my i5 with 16GB memory and 512GB SSD. I've hated updates ever since it started going through the control panel. Was actually looking for another story here from an article posted today about updates but seen your post and replied. I don’t understand people. Do they seriously just do nothing while updates download and install on the background? It wasn’t even 20 seconds of downtime for me. Ya, I know it's stupid, but that's exactly what I do is sit and watch the stupid thing!! I'm not on the computer all day, like most people here, and afraid I might shut down or put computer to sleep in the middle of an update and screw machine up! Besides, why purposely slow down the updates by using machine for something else? As I said, I know it's stupid, but just call it an old habit left over from the Windows 95/98/Me days!

  38. All Microsoft retail stores closed due to coronavirus concerns

    Yes, they look like sad places. I visited Sydney a few weeks ago and saw my very first MS Store, I soon noticed the two people inside were staff and kept walking. All the Microsoft stores in my area are pretty much dead with more employees than customers. This is the perfect guise for them to save face by closing these pointless stores.

  45. Details of entry-level Galaxy M01 running a Qualcomm processor leak

    Totally agree. I get that everyone wants different things, but their current line up is far from clear or covering all bases even though they had 30 devices from 4 series last year. It's mental, and not useful if you want to know where to look for something that you'd want! Sure, give us 4 series, but a handful devices from each, and differentiate them with different focuses and sizes as follows (still comes to 24 devices if you differentiate sizes): Note Series (2) - Normal, Plus size S Series (3): Premium - Compact, Normal, Plus Size A Series (9): Mid class - Compact, Normal, Plus Size (performance focus) - Compact, Normal, Plus Size (camera focus) - Compact, Normal, Plus Size (battery life/rugged focus) M Series (9): Entry Level - Compact, Normal, Plus Size (lower cost performance focus) - Compact, Normal, Plus Size (lower cost camera focus) - Compact, Normal, Plus Size (lower cost battery life/rugged focus) Below is what Samsung released last year according to Wikipedia, their 30 devices: Note Series (2, I’ll be kind and count the 5G version as the same) Samsung Galaxy Note10/Note10 5G [August 2019] Samsung Galaxy Note10+/Note10+ 5G [August 2019] S Series (4) Samsung Galaxy S10e [February 2019] Samsung Galaxy S10 [February 2019] Samsung Galaxy S20+ [February 2020] Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra [February 2020] A Series (18) Samsung Galaxy A30 [February 2019] Samsung Galaxy A50 [February 2019] Samsung Galaxy A10 [February 2019] Samsung Galaxy A20 [March 2019] Samsung Galaxy A40 [March 2019] Samsung Galaxy A70 [March 2019] Samsung Galaxy A20e [April 2019] Samsung Galaxy A80 [April 2019] Samsung Galaxy A40s [April 2019] Samsung Galaxy A60 [April 2019][10] Samsung Galaxy A2 Core [April 2019] Samsung Galaxy A10s [August 2019] Samsung Galaxy A20s [August 2019] Samsung Galaxy A10e [August 2019] Samsung Galaxy A30s [August 2019] Samsung Galaxy A50s [August 2019] Samsung Galaxy A90 5G [September 2019] Samsung Galaxy A70s [September 2019] M Series (6) Samsung Galaxy M10 [February 2019] Samsung Galaxy M20 [February 2019] Samsung Galaxy M30 [March 2019] Samsung Galaxy M40 [June 2019] Samsung Galaxy M10s [September 2019] Samsung Galaxy M30s [September 2019]

  47. What's wrong with you? Came earlier and got what they needed? Are you justifying the people bulk buying 10 packages of 32 rolls of toilet paper? For the span of a month or two? Even with a 4 person household, that's enough to last for years. We go through a roll every 2 weeks, if that. That's enough TP to last our household for 12 years. They got what they needed, and then quite some more.
