  1. The case for biannual Windows 10 feature updates

    Honestly I couldn't care less if they have yearly or twice-yearly updates. I just want them to hire QA testers again.

  2. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is adding cloud gaming on September 15

    So many twitter posts talking about iOS, like people have been asleep for months and haven't realized that it's Apple holding xCloud back on iOS, not MS.

  3. No, they aren't. But even the ones that do use proper fans for cooling don't melt internally (the GPU is usually the first to go, btw) after just a couple of years like all of these iMac all in ones have done since they were released. I've seen too many of these die to recommend them as a solution to anyone at all.

    This is just a pipe dream. Look at how many projects MS throws in the garbage each year.

  6. The case for biannual Windows 10 feature updates

    Seeing how the H2 updates don't look to be true "feature updates" anymore, you can just as well think of them as service packs to the H1 builds. So say MS does go to a 1 feature update release a year, it wouldn't change much IMO, because they'd probably still release a 2nd service pack or they'd call it something else, in the fall. I think the rumors that we're not getting 21H1, if true, are more to do with them shifting work to 10X and putting legacy Windows 10 in more of a extended servicing mode till they can get 10X done. Things could swing back to how they are now after 10X is ready to go.

  7. Crap is right. If they wanted to have set up a reputable pay site for use by famous people, politicians, corporations, PR, etc., they shouldn't have let Twitter become the Internet's toilet bowl. From President Full Retard's daily vomit to the right wing fascist, racist, and anti-science kooks, Twitter isn't even worth installing for free. "From President Full Retard's daily vomit to the right wing fascist, racist, and anti-science kooks, Twitter isn't even worth installing for free." But at least us republicans don't oppose the truth (i.e. Christianity) like the godless/radical left routinely does and it's obvious which political party falls inline with this verse from the bible... "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." - Isaiah 5 : 20 that becomes more true the more radical the left gets as the more radical they get the more hostile they become to Christianity and anyone who opposes Christianity, and it's moral truth, is simply the villain. anyone who can see through the lens of Christianity knows the left are the villains with abortion being a very basic test of ones morality (falls inline with that Isaiah 5 : 20 bible verse about where they sugar-coat a immoral act under the guise of a "choice" in a attempt to make a intrinsically evil act look good) as if someone fails to get that one right they tend to be backwards in many other moral areas and that's what's happening on the left as the years/decades pass. you know the left is heading towards insanity when they question basic male/female nature. it's like they question everything and believe in nothing and end up accepting everything besides the truth of Jesus Christ. but it's not surprising as it's obvious many on the left in positions of power hate Jesus Christ and use their power to advance what's bad and oppose the good. also, the godless left limits how many can attend church services, which are essential for anyone who can see beyond the here and now (i.e. a persons soul is more important than ones body in the big picture), but have no problems with the "protesters" (i.e. rioters) gathering in groups and other stuff that's not nearly as important in the big picture etc. I am not saying the average democrat is that that bad but it's obvious the radicals have pretty much taken over the democrat party and that's bad for society in the long term as they are headed towards socialism/communism (which many Popes condemned through the ages) and the like which is anti-USA. but many are blind nowadays and can't see what's really going on as it's no longer about petty political differences of the past but it's becoming more of a battle of good vs evil and many just go with the flow of a immoral word thinking whatever is popular is good and whatever opposes that is automatically bad and must be censored/destroyed etc. “But at least us republicans don't oppose the truth (i.e. Christianity)” Oh boy.

  10. same here, i hate fact that in the new start menu, you can't even right click to get to stuff like properties, or delete (a folder) or open folder. Uhm... You can. nope, properties nowhere to be find. right clicking on folder, does nothing, can't delete left over folders in start menu correction: only one there is open file location, under more. Here's how to delete stuff from the Start menu. Open File Explorer. Make sure hidden and system files are visible. Go to Program Data; Microsoft; Windows; Start Menu; Programs. Delete what you don't want to see in the Start Menu. Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and suggest your missing his point.

  13. It's not overpriced for a machine that makes no noise. All Windows AIO PCs are hideous looking + noisy AF. And where have you come up with this BS? iMacs are quite because they have inadequate cooling and they turn off their fan way too late, which just causes more CPU throttling than necessary. It's called an opinion and everyone has them. I agree with Alan, Im writing this on a new replacement 27 inch iMac I picked up last week. To me its worth every cent. I am shocked that you came to that conclusion.

  19. The case for biannual Windows 10 feature updates

    I think that the argument that we have to get two feature updates per year in order to guarantee one "good" one is sort of off. Sure, the system works, if they continued the current pattern then you could hold off and only upgrade to the fall releases and be on a pretty stable track. However, switching to one update per year will do wonders by giving them a fewer active versions to worry about supporting, and allowing more time for each yearly update to be fully baked and tested. And Microsoft isn't forcing major version updates anymore. If you're worried about stability, just wait 6 months for all of the kinks to be worked out before upgrading. (That's basically what you would be doing by deferring to the fall release under the current system anyway.)

    Let me get this straight... It is *not* Google's fault that Google adds a Meet-link to an invitation for a Zoom call?

  21. It's very clean, I like it. I have run into an issue with the KB update though. When I go to Settings\System\About, it shows a blank for the "Version" tag (should be 2004). I noticed this because Taskbar Tweaker throws an error when loading - everything was fine before installing the update. Can anyone else confirm that the "Version" tag is showing blank in settings?

  26. Google Play Music shutdown will commence in September

    I meant if the app is going away too, I'd need a new player for my files. Anyone knows a good local (edit:)music-only player? I've always been able to uninstall the play music app, at least on my phone. I use CloudPlayer, made by Doubletwist. Good for offline music... Good for onedrive music, too!

  33. The case for biannual Windows 10 feature updates

    Article fails to factor in cumulative updates. Broken feature updates can be fixed with a cumulative update, sometimes within weeks. There's no reason to wait until the end of the year to fix a build. The (supposed) purpose of a feature update is to add new features, not fix old builds. If Microsoft is dry on ideas, then I'm fine with one feature update a year. There's plenty of inbox apps that are way overdue for a refresh. Plus the Windows UI still has some inconsistency that needs to be ironed out. So Microsoft has plenty to work on besides adding new "stuff" to Windows.

  39. Beware, the $15 watch cases also DON'T come with a CHARGER which all the articles I have seen on this are missing. I have read you can get the chargers on eBay for $5. I would assume Misfit is getting out of the Wear smartwatch business so would expect no more Wear OS updates on this models.
