Microsoft outlines 10 app store principles in a jab at Apple
Talys and 3 others reacted to tsupersonic for a topic
I disagree - I don't think it's these principles that make the Microsoft Store bad. It's honestly the freedom on a Windows PC to install executables that make the Store not necessary. The Microsoft Store has gotten a lot better. For PC's, I'd compare the Microsoft Store to the App Store on Mac OS.4 points -

Microsoft plans to unify Outlook across platforms using web technologies

Microsoft will let employees work from home permanently
Good Bot, Bad Bot and one other reacted to adrynalyne for a topic
The article on The Verge covers this quite well: "While Microsoft employees will be allowed to move across country for remote work, compensation and benefits will change and vary depending on the company’s own geopay scale. Microsoft will be covering home office expenses for permanent remote workers, but any that decide to move away from Microsoft’s offices will need to cover their own relocation costs." Thats...not reduced salary?2 points -

So it's a $100 price increase for the iPhone 12 vs last year's 11? That's kind of unfortunate. At least give it 128GB minimum to try to justify it better.2 points -

Google wants to turn YouTube into a shopping platform in a new test
300z and one other reacted to George P for a topic
Ugghh, Aren't the ads enough? And besides, if this pushes you to their own Google shopping system or w/e isn't that sort of seen as possibly being anti-competative? Right now, streamers show off products and link directly to the product pages, if in the future this just pushes you to a google shop of sorts, so they can take a cut of the sale, I'm not interested in it.2 points -
Google wants to turn YouTube into a shopping platform in a new test
300z and one other reacted to Nick H. for a topic
A Youtuber finds a product that they think will sell to their subscribers and so buys amount of the product. Google takes the product and stores it in their warehouse, and then the Youtuber goes on to their channel and streams their advert. Subscribers place an order and it gets shipped to them, with Google taking a percentage of the sale? I don't know, I don't like the idea of YouTube turning towards shopping any more than it already does.2 points -

As a former IT guy, even though I like Home Office, if you have a lot of interaction with your teamates working in the same location space gets the job faster . Typing is nowhere as fast as calling the guy 2 spaces beside you. Say for example ticket solving to clients If your proyect doesn't need interaction with teammates, then home office is enough.2 points -

Microsoft releases a patch to force enable HP Battery Health Manager on some HP PCs

"The Battery Health Manger in the BIOS helps the laptop manage battery charging patterns to avoid overcharging that could result in the swelling of the battery or overall degradation." That is some next level shockingly ###### hardware design from HP right here, why does software need to do the job your hardware should do? No surprise it's from the same company that introduced charging for BIOS updates... Rot in hell2 points -

Microsoft plans to unify Outlook across platforms using web technologies
mip and one other reacted to PWazzle for a topic
There's a lot misinformation in these comments, and I wouldn't worry about that, I don't think this is referencing the desktop apps becoming web wrappers or electron apps or anything. The Outlook clients are being rebuilt with 'React'. However, 'React' itself, at its core, is not actually bound to the web. It's a library / framework based around JSX (its own language that is basically a combination of javascript, and xml), and what React does is provide a quick way of declaring components and then updates them when their props change. While React is commonly used in web apps to handle updating the components of a web app, it doesn't necessarily have to be. React Native is a project that lets you declare and code your UI in jsx, and then when you build it, it will compile your javascript / xml components into native C++ components for whatever platform you want to build for. In that way React Native is like an abstract UI language that lets you code once but produce native applications for multiple platforms. React Native for a long time has predominantly only support Android and iOS, however, over the last year or two Microsoft has picked up development of React Native for Windows & MacOS. That's what the new Xbox Apps are coded in, and have seen massive performance improvements. I think it's safe to assume that Outlook will similarly be going down this React Native path.2 points -

Microsoft will be covering home office expenses for permanent remote workers, but any that decide to move away from Microsoft’s offices will need to cover their own relocation costs." Thats...not reduced salary? I never said it was? I was quoting from the source article which suggests compensation would stay the same if you remote work from the same place you'd historically commuted to work from, however could change if you move to a different city. That's how I understood it anyway, like if you live in London you'd get paid a lot more than someone living up north to do the same job, due to the cost of living been significantly higher in London. So you didn't answer my question at all, and pointed me to something I wasn't asking about? Look at what I commented on. Did you just misunderstand what I was asking about?1 point -

domboy reacted to Paul1979UK for a topic
Yeah I have to admit, Youtube is getting worse now with its ads, on average now we are seeing two ads for the price of one, back to back and we are seeing more of them. I won't shift away from Youtube yet but if it continues to get worse, I'll look at other alternatives which ironically will be an opening for rivals to take advantage if the service of Youtube gets worse.1 point -

New "business" notebook; Ryzen 7 & 8 GB RAM okay?
adrynalyne reacted to kiddingguy for a topic
A "machine" for business. Basically... just some Office (Mail, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), maybe some 'easy' photo editing with PS Elements, and cloud storage. Most of the online tools I use (for online marketing purposes) are cloud-based, so I only further need a decent browser And a "decent" brand, like Asus, MSI, HP (Dell?!) or alike. I'm note really fond of Acer though....1 point -

Son_Of_Dad reacted to Figure 8 Dash for a topic
Cool video but... there's not enough next gen in this next gen video. In fact, it barely acknowledges there's a new Xbox until the very end. I like the concept of the video but it would have been more effective had the guy jumped between several well known Xbox franchises. Or even seeing the guy pop into Cyberpunk 2077 or Assassin's Creed Valhalla would have worked. As it stands now, the video fails to differentiate itself from the current generation of consoles. It could just as easily be a video for a One X.1 point -

I wonder if this deal lays the groundwork for a future disc to digital program for those who want to transfer their disc games into digital versions. Take the disc to GS, get a digital code etc. It would help with those looking to get a Series S and have a chunk of current Xbox One games, or older BC 360 games they want to play on it.1 point -
