  1. Apple is tracking down looted devices in the U.S.

    they stole nothing from you but Apple steals from you by avoiding paying taxes and for some reasons you prefer to target your anger towards the ones who stole nothing from you the defenders of capitalism are a weird species Wtf. No. They stole nothing from me, correct, but they certainly did steal from a store... funny how you omitted that. Your thought process is mind blowing by trying to toss corporate taxes into the mix. Two wrongs don't make a right.

  2. Apple is tracking down looted devices in the U.S.

    I think they should have left them operational and tracked them in the background instead and tipped off police. These looters are not part of any peaceful protest, they are scum and if they can be removed from everyday life then that's only a good thing.

  3. I don’t play this but how stupid what a lot of these companies do. It would be better to show a message after launching the game about this situation and offer an exclusive item 15 dollar item in the store that people can buy to show support and donate 100 percent of profits to the cause and preferably add 20 percent themselves. But of course this action requires effort and doesn’t generate as much PR tabloid buzz as shutting down the server or a self profit by postponing free DLC like COD. Must say most of the game industry is handling this totally in the wrong and hypocrite way compared to other industries. Also 2 hours sounds more like weekly server maintenance masked as BLM

  8. Apple is tracking down looted devices in the U.S.

    Mission accomplished? I doubt Apple cares that much about getting the device back, more so discouraging its use, as well as sending a message to others who think looting an Apple store is a great idea.

  11. So you've not actually used the new version of Edge but are writing it off anyway? I used it a while back and to me it was just another chrome clone, but with MS cloud all over it. But that is not the point, I am not writing it off, I am just saying I would prefer it if Ms gave us a choice instead of forcing it onto my computer. I am fine with the browser I am using I have no requirement to change, even if Ms think I should . This The new Edge will arrive via Windows Update, although future updates will arrive through the browser itself. Once your system reboots, you'll be greeted by a full-screen, 30-second-ish intro that forces you to set up the app So I will have to go through a 30 intro, even if i am not going to use the software and set something up I am not going to use. If i don't use it, then that means it will never be updated. You literally complain about everything Microsoft does. Do you think people are still going to take you seriously if you are never happy about anything they do?

  13. "The app was not stealing user data or doing anything shady in the background." - Is this direct from Google? Where is the proof of this? The app developer can easily fix itself to be in compliance by doing the following: 1. Rename app to "Identify Chinese Apps" 2. Provide the list of apps It will now be in compliance.

  14. Rockstar is shutting down GTA and Red Dead Online for two hours today

    This is why I hate "political correct companies". Whatever the industry, if one says #metoo, dozens more pop up because they want to avoid blacklash of not being in tone at the end of they day, they don't care. They just don't want to lose customers. Or 'fans' (for example you work for Microsoft but follow Nike). this has been happening of DECADES so it's tiresome because you know deep inside, they do it because other companies do it. Which, I don't care...let them be FREE. I don't like folks decide the company posture. Don't like it, it's your problem. It's always sensitive topics...

  16. Apple is tracking down looted devices in the U.S.

    they stole nothing from you but Apple steals from you by avoiding paying taxes and for some reasons you prefer to target your anger towards the ones who stole nothing from you the defenders of capitalism are a weird species They didn't just target apple, they targetted everything. Including small non-chain/family owned stores - do you think it's fair on them? Do you think that it's fair that they might have to shut their businesses down due to the reduced turnout from corona and now the huge cost to repair their store and replace all their stolen stock? And quite frankly your reasoning of tax is absurd, that is altogether an entirely different thing, this isn't about tax. And just for your information, the people that end up paying for this is the ordinary citizen that doesn't go looting. Stores have to make the profit back up, so they raise the prices to compensate and you pay more, and they probably keep pay rises lower or stop them entirely too. Great, screw over the hard working people...

  20. Apple is tracking down looted devices in the U.S.

    they stole nothing from you but Apple steals from you by avoiding paying taxes and for some reasons you prefer to target your anger towards the ones who stole nothing from you the defenders of capitalism are a weird species the defenders of looters are a weird species Sorry for small joke upon you. I live in country with 40 years of history living in communism and there is such a says from that past, which, unfortunatelly, is present in my country even after 30 years living in democracy/capitalism: Who is not stealing, is robbing his own familly. Looters as well as Apple if avoiding paying taxes illegal way, have to be punished. Doesn’t matter if it is capitalism or communism or any other system/regime. It’s not about defending capitalism, it's about protecting the decency and basic rules of society.

  21. Except they specifically remove any feature that required Google services? Google sticks a lot of extra stuff on their browser, it's kind of crazy all the things MS listed they took out when they started using chromium. I'm sure all the other browser makers like vivaldi do the same. And MS just replaced Google's "Bloat" with their own. Edgium is no more or less bloated than Chrome. (I have used Edgium since the first leak btw)

    Look how often they redesign the Xbox interfaces, they can't nail any UI down On the Windows machine at work o can count at least 6 types of UIs that various current MS apps there are. Office, Notepad, Teams, Dynamics, Photos, some other thing I forget atm... They're all over the place and apparently they're not done yet.

  24. France's contact tracing app downloaded 600,000 times in 24 hours

    I am French and currently the app is listed as #1 in the free apps category on the AppStore. I can’t see the number of downloads, however there are ≈ 1850 ratings (mostly positive), so I guess the numbers announced are true. Our government was far from perfect in the way they handled the Covid crisis, but what they announced for this app seems accurate.

  26. Ultimately, very true. However, there are levels and thresholds of companies trying to do right by users and companies fighting for the right to screw them over. This reminds me of when someone says that all the politicians are crooks. Sure, but some are serial killers, and some have a speeding ticket - two entirely different thresholds. (Using hyperbole for analogy.)

  37. They have been forcing Windows 10 down our throats since it was launched and that is half backed as well, so nothing new there. You are really angry over everything Microsoft does. Maybe switch to Linux? I was talking about the old Edge. The new Edge is good so far. I only want Microsoft to do better. Everything they change is half done and never gets completed. Its like no one at Microsoft actually uses Windows 10. Basic functionality is always missing. The new file explorer search is a good example of that. Why are these functions missing? https://i.imgur.com/zcaGfdH.png

  39. The news side of things is developed in-house. The current iteration was a complete re-write from the ground up launched in 2010 and we've made iterative improvements on it since then. I believe Invision do have their own CMS system that can be installed alongside the forum software, but we wanted something that fit our needs exactly, so designed and built it in house.

    Misinformation is misinformation; you do not decide that for yourself. True, true... we can't decide what is misinfo... but Twitter can.... right? Twitter's house, twitter's rules. If they don't want the spread of misinformation, they have the right to do something about it. Are you against Twitter deciding what's best for their company and customers?

  41. Why would you need or want the browser to be updated through the Store. What's the point? First, it's not a store app, second, it automatically updates itself. I don't care if it's the Microsoft Store or a replacement for it, but considering how freaking easy it is for software to stay updated from a centralized source on mobile devices these days -- for years now even -- I don't understand why it's so challenging for Microsoft to get the ball rolling even for their own applications. Instead, updates on Windows are still in the exact same place they were 20 years ago. We went from the early internet days of downloading patches and updates manually to install them, to apps that could self-update, and then......... nope, we're still there. Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux all seem to have figured out giving users the option to have a centrally managed source for app installs and updates, and Microsoft is treating it the same way Google treats messaging platforms.

  42. About time. They forced it down our throats while it was half baked. It took 4 years to get basic features. They forced Edge to open URIs for built in help links, search for bing in notepad, etc... They nagged us when we wanted to switch our default browser. They were basically creating another IE with the old Edge by tying it into Windows 10. I'm glad its over.

  43. Store is not important anymore All their new apps like Office, Teams, Skype are not going through the store. Also stuff like Edge and the upcoming Xbox / Windows Gamepass app is distributed from the website. Other store exclusives like the game Sea Of Thieves launched today on Steam, like many other MS titles. It will be like UWP, the store will not be going anywhere. But the focus lie elsewhere due to its failure. Office is in the store.

  45. Best imaging software

    The first drive I purchased, was the lower end Crucial 1TB SSD.. and since my board has extra SATA ports, I plugged into that, and used Macrium. The second I did, was an upgrade to a WD 500GB SSD for a laptop. It doesn't have two drive bays, so I just used a USB 3.0 circuit board I got from shucking my 10TB external drive I put in my main computer. Hooked that board up to the SSD, plugged it into the laptop as an external drive, and cloned it with no issues. Took about 40 mins... when done, swapped out the old drive with the SSD, rebooted and off she ran like it was brand new. Only much faster. The old drive booted from a restart in about 4 to 5 mins.. now, she's under 40 seconds.
