It's official: x64 emulation is coming to Windows on ARM
quikmantx and 4 others reacted to George P for a topic
They're also making a native ARM64 version of Teams to, so there's that. These are nice and they're really just stop gaps until you get more native ARM64 versions of apps. If you don't get one, then you hope each new version of the SoC can boost performance to where even the emulated apps run good so that people don't notice much, if any, difference. Makes me wonder if the future SQ2 could aid with speeding up emulation with some custom hardware bits?5 points -

wolftail and 2 others reacted to George P for a topic
But video streaming apps on iOS don't force developers to submit each show individually. It's kind of silly how they have one policy for streaming music/tv/movies and another one for games. I mean they're in both markets but I'm guessing they have/make more off of Arcade growing than Apple TV. So they're giving game streaming the middle finger, basically.3 points -

It's official: x64 emulation is coming to Windows on ARM
suni08 and one other reacted to MateerL for a topic
what they really need is native ARM64 version of Visual Studio & VS code, with all first party apps ported to ARM64 asap. Apple pledged native ARM64 variants of all their first party apps at (arm macOS) launch, so that's an impressive progress and instills confidence among everyone on how much they're ready to invest into it. MS has just ported Windows to ARM64, but the only first party apps are the UWP ones or the electron based ones. A native Visual Studio would've helped encourage a lot of developers on board. Additionally Window's selling point was always a lot of hardware options and an open platform. WinARM has always stuck to high end machines, which prevents adoption by fans/devs who are scared to invest in this(esp since their disasters with WinRT and WinPhone). A raspberry pi 4 image, or an affordable ARM mini-PC(like Asus chrome box) could help adoption.2 points -

But video streaming apps on iOS don't force developers to submit each show individually. And that is the point. I don't quite understand. So Apple lets other developers publish video streaming services as they please, and Microsoft has usually done the same. If Microsoft wanted to start a video streaming service and put it on iOS, they could do that without a problem. Why should they stop Apple from making their service available in the same way? But Microsoft at least gets 30% of the TV+ subscription fee, right?1 point -

Microsoft releases Windows 10 build 20226 to the Dev channel with storage health monitoring
warrenrumak reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
I would be surprised if it was only HDD/SDD Smart monitoring, as Windows identifies and monitors several metrics for identifying HDD/SDD errors and corruption. This is also a good change, as it was insane that Windows could notice problems, and try to fix and work around them in impressive ways - so much that users and even admins often don't notice anything, even on huge hardware or Windows software arrays, let alone day to day stuff. And yet, Windows wouldn't say anything to end users beyond entries in the Event Viewer, even as a drive was slipping into death.1 point -

An Apple TV app is coming to Xbox consoles
dustojnikhummer reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Well, this might be a good thing for consumers. Instead of spending $150-200 on a ###### media box, consumers could consider spending $299 for a new Xbox Series S capable of better upscaling and audio along with next generation gaming, and 512GB of storage. Or even grab an Xbox One S for $199 as available. However, it would be funny to see Microsoft do something crazy to Apple with this, but knowing Microsoft, they will do the right thing for consumers and not bitchslap Apple like they deserve. Oh, I had heard that this was a tangential deal between Apple and Microsoft, and there was going to be an xCloud App for Apple TV. Which apparently won't be happening anytime soon, unless Apple makes a 'special' deal for Microsoft. Ha1 point -

The best SwiftKey for Android features you must know about
Usama Jawad96 reacted to ad47uk for a topic
To each their own. I've uses swiftkey long before MS bought it. I like it, and it works for me. I used it before MS grabbed it years ago on my Nexus 4, but could not get on with it. When I got my P10 lite, it was default, so I thought i would try again and i used it for a couple of weeks, but I just could not get on with it, I found it lagged and the layout is strange for me, I do not know why, just something about it. but as you said each to their own, it would be a strange world if we all liked the same thing. To be honest, I really do not use many features on keyboards, I do like the swipe function and that is all I use. I admit the new feature on swiftkey to allow easier positioning of the cursor sounds good. i find it difficult to put the cursor where I want it, ending up deleting the whole line of text just to go back. But other features I would not use, but I am sure some people would find them useful. i expect Gboard will come with some way of navigating around the text at some point, unless they already have and I have not seen it. Cursor control, if I'm understanding the Swiftkey feature correctly, is there for me on Gboard by default on the English (US) keyboard. Just swipe across the spacebar key (no long-press, just swipe). Let me know if it work for you and if it's what you expect Ah, I never knew that, learn something every day, thanks for that and yes it works in U.K English or what ever it is Cheers.1 point -
Nokia becomes BT's largest infrastructure partner
zikalify reacted to ad47uk for a topic
Why not? I'm not particularly bothered about using it on a phone myself and will therefore wait until my phone breaks before upgrading but not opposed to using 5G. I think all the FUD surrounding 5G for some people is a bit like when people opposed have mobile masts installed in their area to provide 3G. I think my old neighbour got a petition going to stop one being put up lol, could only get 2G around there for years after and it's still not very good today. Ok, lets put it another way, I am not planning on using 5G for the foreseeable future. For a couple of reason, one is that we have no 5G here and there is no information about when it will ever come here, the other thing is that my phone is not 5G compatible and i hope to keep hold of it for as long as I can. When I do eventually buy another phone, unless 5G phones are cheap by then, I doubt very much if I will bother with one. I don't see any advantage of 5G on a phone, I am not that bothered with 4G to be honest, 3G done and does what I need it to do. Just for a test, i disabled 4G on my phone and used it for a week on 3G and it made no difference to how I use my phone at all.1 point -

I'm sorry, what? The Windows kernel is one of the most advanced pieces of software ever written, based on much more modern ideas than Linux.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
