  3. I didn't mind ads for a while in YouTube. It is a free service after all. However the ads have became more aggressive and more frequent lately. Especially in last 12 months.

  4. This sounds nice on paper but it's another cleaver marketing stunt to fend off the wolves, so to speak. It also calls out Apples own BS line about "everyone paying the same rate is fair". Or the "same rules apply to everyone". All just went out the window here, and just shows it was all fluff. This is also cleaver in that it's basically splitting the base in two, you give out some concessions to the little guys, so it makes you look good, while labeling the big devs as greedy.

  5. Apple is halving App Store commissions to 15% for some developers

    "...to qualify for the program, developers need to be making less than $1 million from those sales or be big enough that Apple can't say no to them, like Amazon." FTFY

  9. What is Logitech's problem to USB-C? Their 'universal' adapter STILL has no USB-C version and all their latest hardware (this mouse and the thin keyboard) are micro-USB. Come on Logitech get out of the dark ages. The more USB-C devices I get the more I love it. Can use my laptop power brick to charge my laptop, mouse, headphones, power bank. Now if only Apple... least my power bank has Qi for both the phone and watch. As for BT and Windows. Never had issues here. Though most of my experience is using mice. Though a month I was in rehab after an operation I was using BT ear buds and had zero issues then as well. EDIT: Oh wait. Derp. The MX Anywhere 3 I just bought is USB-C. The dongle however is USB-A. But both my desktop and laptop have BT so I just use that.

    Why should we have to apply for this, why can't Apple auto apply us in to this program?

  12. It's not flaky at all. Bluetooth Low Energy stack especially is rock solid and gives no issues. Logitech for some reason love their proprietary USB receivers. All their nice designer collection mice are also reserved for USB, while Bluetooth models are boring black. It depends on many factors, the version of Bluetooth, the chip used, the codecs, the drivers, and the interference of the ambiance Like every other device out there? True. That is not limited to Windows. Not really, if you use the dongle then it is plug and play and everything works OOBE. False. Everything you said applies to any BT enabled device, be it phones or computers. A dongle doesn’t work using magic.

Also at 150 dollars it shoud charge over USB-C At $150 for a mouse, I should be able to use mind control over it and never even have to touch it! LOL

  19. Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X and Xbox Series X gameplay showcased

    Until the next gen updates hit you won't see much of a difference, other than faster loading and some smoother gameplay. Since I like CDPR's work I think I'll just get the game directly from them on GoG so they can get all the money and play it on my PC, even though I'm still on a older GTX 1070 at 1080p.

  24. Microsoft Pluton is a new security chip for Windows PCs

    Seems unlikely if they're working with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm, and using it for their own cloud hardware. While we haven't seen enough details for me to say, this is likely going to replace Trustzone, TPM, and possibly some of Intels security tech I'm less familiar with. If Pluton is going to be part of an x86 CPU, collaboration with Intel and AMD alone isn't enough. They need to collaborate with Gigabyte, Asus, ASRock, HP, Dell, and other motherboard makers too because that's how they can make sure firmware updates would come exclusively from Windows Update. If, on the other hand, Microsoft puts Pluton chips only on motherboards of its own making, collaboration with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm alone is enough. The chips are on the CPU, not the motherboard. https://www.microsoft.com/secu...-the-future-of-windows-pcs/ If indeed it does require anything from the motherboard makers, it'll be part of the platform delivered to them by Intel and AMD.

  29. Apple is halving App Store commissions to 15% for some developers

    Just doing it to dodge anti-trust here. Considering it only applies to developers earning less than $1M yearly, this won't be more than a peanut loss from Apple while they can brag about how *most* developers only have to pay 15% fee and may be in their next presentation, they will tout how developer friendly Apple Store is versus others

  30. NordVPN launches new feature to scan the dark web for compromised credentials

    There's no way it does that lol. It's just searching a DB like haveibeenpwnd like every other password manager. Nord are shady. Go BitWarden. I do use Bitwarden but that is a password manager. What does that have to do with using a VPN or being notified about password breaches? LOL

    Some good news for SN8, if I understand this right this is more about the pad then the engine itself. Sounds like they may have to dig it up a bit to do some work but that's a much better scenario in my opinion.

    I agree with you. Frankly, 30% is kind of ridiculous. FYI, there is no 'a' in clever. 'Cleaver' is a kind of knife. The cleaver splits the “base the in two”. I’ll allow it.

  35. It's not flaky at all. Bluetooth Low Energy stack especially is rock solid and gives no issues. Logitech for some reason love their proprietary USB receivers. All their nice designer collection mice are also reserved for USB, while Bluetooth models are boring black. Outside of gaming, their highest end mice are dual mode (but yeah, no fancy colors). I still use the dongle though because it provides more use than BT does for me. For example, if I plug in my laptop to my monitor, it switches audio, keyboard and mouse control to the laptop. If I unplug it, it all goes back to my desktop. I can also switch all of them to a third machine if I need to with a couple button presses. Can’t do that with BT unless I were to switch each individual device.

  36. I actually find this all pretty sad, this guy is obviously lonely and desperately wants to feel loved. Yes, any one outside of this can see he's being catfished but the brain will do stupid things when it thinks there's hope of getting that one thing you want. It see's things that just aren't there. However, stupid or naive you may think he is, have some sympathy that this heartless person is taking advantage of that.

Kinda funny people think MS is copying Apple when Apple has a wee tiny piece of market share. The average consumer doesn’t even know the version of their OS, just the name and it hasn't been called OS X for a while now.

  40. Microsoft Pluton is a new security chip for Windows PCs

    I thought there was a version of TPM in cpus, the Bios in my Ryzon 7 1700 machine says there it has TPM, supported by AMD. There is no module on the board. I doubt this thing will bother me, if i update the machine it will be in the next 12 months or so, and i doubt this Pluton will be available by then. i do not like the idea of MS updating the firmware, they make enough mess of Windows. i prefer to update my own bios.

    I wish they'd just hire a team to just redo ALL graphics in the OS all at one time and be done with it... been asking for that since windows 3.1 , even windows 95 didnt refresh all the icons for just a major UI jump

  47. Microsoft Pluton is a new security chip for Windows PCs

    I don't see why they wouldn't share this with their OEM partners, and as with most things MS will probably use this in a new Surface device first. The other makers will sit back and see how it goes before asked to use it. Working with the big 3 CPU makers I figure this will end up replacing TPM at some point, you'll just be a future CPU that'll have this built in.
