  1. Oh dear! I don't think Google really cares about hardware. If this was an Apple story where iPhones were falling apart in peoples hands there would be 99 negative comments here by now, it looks like people don't expect much of Google.

  4. Canalys says Indian smartphone market shrank around 50% in Q2

    "Going forward, the rate of phone sales will largely depend on whether people have maintained their jobs after the crisis is over and have the money to spare for items like smartphones" You got that right.

  6. Halo 3 PC review: Treat yourself to this terrific port

    My Xbox RRoD's with this game when I got halfway through. I couldn't back up my save, got a new one. RRoD again when I was almost at the end. Finally finished the game on the next 360 I got. I don't think I could play this again. After Reach I think I was done with the series, it started to feel generic to me. When it originally came out you just didn't see the set pieces it had anywhere else, probably due to the power of the original Xbox. But by the time Reach came out lots of games had huge set pieces, reviews practically pointed out how many big ones were in each game. Even Halo 3 felt kind of generic to me by then. It didn't feel like a step up from Halo 2, it was Halo 2.5. I didn't think it showed off the power of the 360. What made Halo feel special to others around the this time was the multiplayer, but I hadn't been interested in that after Halo 2 so I fell off. I wonder if the next Halo recaptures my attention.

  9. For a controller that its primary feature is the new haptic motors, not sure watching a video of a guy telling you how it feels will really do it any justice. Sure he might say it's game changing and feels like nothing else....but what does that even mean? just be marketing fluff. I reserve judgement to when I finally get to play with it myself (on either my own PS5 or a demo unit/whatever).

  10. And Google seriously believes any vendor will give a damn about phones that were left on Android 6 ? LMAO. They can't be bothered to update latest Android versions and they think they'll do anything with 4 generations old Android. Just shows how utterly disconnected Google is from its own ecosystem they've created...

  11. Just bought a new laptop - Is this normal to be charging like this?

    Might be a setting in the MSI Dragon Center ... looking at this review of that notebook: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14612/the-msi-ge75-raider-laptop-review/6 "MSI also interestingly adds in some additional choices in terms of charging. You can adjust the battery charge settings in the Dragon Center Software which allows you to choose how to keep the battery level. If you are someone who does use the laptop on the go from time to time, you can set it to mobility, or you can set the battery to be charged to a lower level which should prolong the life. It’s a nice option for a system where outright mobility is certainly a secondary consideration" I wouldn't worry about it. 🙂

  13. I know many people who are lined up to get a OnePlus Nord. I think this is the perfect time to market mid-range phones. Show them your flagships, announce their exorbitant prices, then show them your "affordable flagship" at half the price. Profit. So many people will fall for it. Especially in such times.

  18. Making the stand part of the computer body is not a good idea. It assumes people want to stand their device and if you don't its a waste. The stand belongs in the cover. Including the stand in the body makes the device not a default tablet, Surface tablet computer things are not real tablets, most people use it as a laptop so the stand built in makes sense here.

  22. Can you name a single economist that is not a snake-oil seller, scammer, crook, or clueless? And if you say "that professor or PhD...", then they are included. In this case, the whole economy is going bananas 🍌 and the economists are claiming that it will only suffer a 5-15%. What a f* joke.

  24. What great build quality for a $900 Android flagship device. OEMs should follow Google's lead and strive for similar or poorer quality with their devices.

  25. The Xbox Series X will not support games that require Kinect

    I still argue that it was ahead of it's time. Like with the launch of the Xbox One, the Kinect was a marketing nightmare from the point of view of MS. They couldn't put a foot right with it. I also remember there was a big privacy concern when it first launched too, always listening?!? We can't have that. Yet 4 years later when the Echo Dot launched....

  30. Windows File Recovery is a new app by Microsoft that helps recover deleted data

    I would say probably not. "Supports NTFS, FAT, exFAT and ReFS file systems." iOS uses APFS (or HFS+ on older devices) right? That's not the problem. iPhone does not expose raw access to the underlying storage. It exposes a shell object only. (This PC→Apple iPhone→Internal Storage) All interactions with the iPhone are restricted to permissible shell-supported interactions.
