  3. Microsoft is pathetic. No vision. No style. No inspiration. Meanwhile, the competition is chipping away at its hegemony as it stumbles around aimlessly trying to find itself. They really need to fire the entire leadership team in the windows division, and look outside for people with a different perspective then maybe...

  8. People have been saying that about Surface devices since 2013, yet here we are, 7 years later, and they're making a good chunk of revenue each quarter. I am pretty sure the poster was referring to the original 'Surface', ARM device which was indeed abandoned, just like Windows Mobile. Amusing that many thought Windows 10X would be next big thing, gets worse and further away with every news drop.

  11. 1. The death rate in all of Japan has been around 4.5% and it disproportionately effects the elderly. 2. A big reason why the overall spread, especially in dense areas like Tokyo has been kept fairly under control is due to the state of emergency imposed on April 7th and lifted on May 25th, which helped contain the virus at a time when active cases and deaths were increasing at a rapid pace. The restrictions helped the healthcare system cope. And Japan has not ruled out doing a similar thing again in Tokyo if the rate of new cases continues to increase. I really don't understand how people have politicized a pandemic and basic things to mitigate it like wearing a mask and social distancing. No the media giving you some basic information about the state of the pandemic and what you can do to keep yourself and others safe is not akin to some leftist takeover that some people are making it out to be. The reason why most people (thankfully) are heeding the advice is because they want to do their part to reduce the chances of getting their friends/family, their community (especially those most vulnerable like the elderly and people who are immunocompromised), and themselves sick.

  12. Last time I check LinkedIn is owned by an American company. Yeh but I'm not from America, so how can I trust it? Are American companies collecting data on people from overseas too? What will President Snow do with our data? But at the end of the day, Trump is just being Trump. Create fear to get support. America sounds great..

  20. So you have such hatred for Trump that you'd rather side with a Chinese company that blatantly spies on people? That's some really sad derangement you have there... And you have proof that TikTok spies on you and that they share that data with the CCP or are you just blowing smoke ? That's also opposed to your own government who have been caught with their pants down under both parties. Also what the **** state secrets do you think 14 year old girls have anyway, do they get given nuclear launch codes when they hit puberty !?!?!?!?!

    Trump just doesn't want to remember or have another Tulsa rally fiasco on his hands. It sure would be a shame if everyone kept reminding him of it.

  23. They need to move Satya to the commercial side and find new leadership for the consumer side. Windows and Office is really all that's left. Agreed. At least during the Ballmer era, Microsoft was actually making an active effort to appeal to consumers. Things like Windows Live suite/services, Zune, and niche projects like Photosynth and Deepzoom helped get me a lot more interested in what Microsoft had to offer. While not majorly successful, at least they had more developers giving Windows Phone 8 a chance and creating decent if not great official 1st party apps. When Windows 10 Mobile wobbled out, it was basically gutted of some of the best unique features with only minor improvements, and it seemed most developers sensed Microsoft didn't care about the platform anymore. Surface hardware, while successful enough, would have more Apple like success if Microsoft priced more competitively or at least put more of the hardware/feature requests their fans wanted. Not to mention that Microsoft lacks an ecosystem to make seamless hardware/software integration even a possibility outside of Office.

Trump is president of the US, his concerns are with his country.

  28. Dead Live tile with stuck progress bar Windows 10?

    That's happened to me from time to time, I think it's stuck because the app updated as the live tile was going to update and it hangs. What I do is just resize it, make it smaller and then make it bigger again like you have it, it should restart and work again.

  30. I am fine with them creating a custom OS for ARM, and tablets, and always-on-devices, and everything else that is not a full blown computer desktop and laptop. But you can't just build the OS. You have to build the environment for it to live in. That means fostering a growing store of apps, and/or allowing in a large existing collection of things like Android apps. And yes, there need to be both x86 and x64 emulators, even if they are slow, to run older apps. Unless you are Apple or Google, you don't have anywhere near the ecosystem to rightfully expect consumers to buy your hardware with no programs for it. Which brings me to my second critical point: Microsoft, you have to commit to it, or don't do it at all. Publicly state that this ecosystem will be maintained and fostered by your company for at least a decade, and work to make sure that it flourishes and is a positive selling point for your product, and not its downfall. If I bought a Surface Pro X and saw this nonsense (and had to live with the compromises), I would swear off Microsoft products for good.

    I thought this looked really enjoyable, so I immediately bought it when the game was released for the PC. It ended up being fairly dull and disappointing. What a fantastic premise, though!

  34. Windows 10 has had no headliner feature since 2 years almost. Just minor tweaks here and there. Heck they haven’t been able to eliminate the legacy control panel even after these 5-6 years of W10 existence. On the other hand, Apple re-designed or updated the entire GUI of macOS Big Sur in one swoop.

Amusing that many thought Windows 10X would be next big thing, gets worse and further away with every news drop. He said "Surface devices" meaning more than one, so the whole Surface line. Otherwise he'd be specific and say the Surface RT. There were two Surface RT's... But yes, pointless move that basically puts this software in the trash before it's finished.

  36. Microsoft shooting themselves in the foot again, this is just a rehashed attempt at Windows RT and Windows Phones. It'll be packed up and shelved again when it flops. Mean while, regular Windows 10 gets put on hold with slow development for the next year or two. That's great, it'll give Apple a head start with their new eco system on the ARM based Mac systems that can already also run iOS apps. I don't know what Microsoft's time line is, or what they think they're doing but this isn't helping things.

  37. Hello sir, you are right. The news comments only have 4 icons because it is a different editor (one we build ourselves) while in the forums it is another software called IP Board, which gives you 21 icons. It is currently not possible to embed tweets or videos in the news comments like it is possible in the forums.

  43. Instead of all these wannabe side trials that always seem to fail, they should just focus on what they do best. Enhance the existing Windows, make the UI modern and consistent and optimize the hell out of it for enterprise, developers and gamers, the main users of Windows. If I want a ‘fun’ device for media and light reading I buy a new iPad like 99 percent of the people with that use case.

  45. The issue is that even a streamlined Windows 10 is going to be more bloated than Chrome OS, and will require more storage, RAM, and a faster processor to perform comparably. Our quad core Celeron Chromebook blows away our Ryzen and Core i5 computers when it comes to performance and speed of installing updates. Microsoft is simply continuing similar "don't look behind the curtain" mods that they started with Windows RT. Windows 10 can't be both the same and streamlined with both running all Windows apps.

  48. New WD Blue SSD says SanDisk?

    I had the exact issue. Same model number on the drive. Same packaging, exact. Strangely enough, it has a different firmware version, despite both being "up to date". It runs slower and runs 3 degrees Celsius hotter than my 2 original WD Blue drives at idle. This one in question has a Manufacture date of June 2, 2020 while the others that show as original WD were made April 20, 2020. I spoke with Sandisk, they say they don't support the drive because it's WD. While WD says it's the same drive. I beg to differ 100%. This is in fact a different drive, with different memory and performance. I simply want to know which model Sandisk i actually bought. PLUS, ULTRA or another version. I'm completely dissatisfied with the shady label swapping. If i wanted a Sandisk drive, I would have ordered one.

  50. discover card requesting irs form 4506 t

    You could have called Discover ... https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/help-center/contact-us/ ...and asked them (why they want a 4506-t, not unheard of) . Not sure why Discover would be scamming you ... obviously if you are just receiving some random emails or popups ... those could be scams. Which is why, when in doubt, go straight to the company.
