Microsoft Store for Business and Education may be killed off soon

There's other ways to push specific apps to your education or enterprise devices, so having specific store front ends just for those two seems unnecessary. They could just update the main store and make it better overall.5 points -
Is 5ghz wi-fi just as good as a wired internet connection?
Jose_49 and one other reacted to MS Bob 11 for a topic
First, it's 5 GHz wifi, please don't call it 5G wifi. Because 5G is a different thing. Wired is always better, faster, more reliable. But that being said, in wifi, the PHY speed and signal strength are two factors that determine how good or bad it is. Do a speed test on both wired and 5 GHz wireless if your client PHY speed is decent - it may be good enough for your internet speed requirements - may offer the same speed via wired too. Not for LAN/WLAN transfers where wired is miles ahead. Read this long but very interesting page to learn more about Wifi: https://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html2 points -

Funny you bring up GamersNexus... HardwareUnboxed just came out with a video on this and explained what they are talking about, though. Given the SAME CPU across 4 GPUs, the AMD cards performed better on the lower-end CPUs at lower resolutions: (side note, 1080p is still the most prevalent resolution in the Survey.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLEIJhunaW82 points -

Microsoft Store for Business and Education may be killed off soon
derpityderp reacted to Ryster for a topic
Disagree. As an organisation we're not going to allow our users to see or download non-business related apps like Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Asphalt, etc. It's just not sensible and appropriate for a work environment. However as Microsoft has chosen to put things like language packs in the store, as well as some apps that we're perfectly fine with, such as To-do, whiteboard, etc, then we need a way of allowing users and local IT teams to install these apps. Microsoft Store for Business gave us this capability and it works well. We curate the apps that are allowed into categories, and users can choose to install them. If we have to block access to the store entirely, which will be the case if Microsoft shut down Store for Business, then that will also mean that inbox apps such as calculator, mail and calendar, etc will stop being updated, which is also undesirable. Valid points but I think instead of having 3 different store front ends, having one store that shows specific things depending on the account you sign in with (consume, edu, business), would be the better way to do it, no? You could then just limit the ability to login with a consumer account via group policy for example. Not a bad idea. But as is typical with Microsoft the removal of one thing will come well in advance of whatever is destined to replace it. Also to be fair, it's not really an entirely new front end per se right now. It's the same store, the same apps, the same update mechanism, just displayed on a different tab. The group policy then just hides the "public tabs". This works well, and isn't too dissimilar to your suggestion.1 point -

Future Bethesda games will be exclusive to platforms with Xbox Game Pass
kazerrrt reacted to dustojnikhummer for a topic
After the failure of PS Vita? I think Microsoft is happy they missed out on that one. Even Nintendo merged their handheld and console into one unit. As for PC gaming, this now has more priority over at Bethesda. They can focus on releasing on Xbox and PC whereas previously they also had to consider PS before launch. I strongly believe Vita would have been successful if it used SD cards1 point -

Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c performance analysis shows impressive results over competition
Brandon H reacted to zhangm for a topic
I rarely agree with your take but wins over MediaTek/Celeron/Pentium Silver are not much of a news story. Hopefully they place some pressure on the Celeron line and spur Intel into pushing better hardware into budget machines - I'd like to see results of greater competition on the low budget/low performance end. We've already seen the effects of stagnation on the mainstream/high end with Intel's decade-long domination over AMD. While budget machine hardware might be completely boring, changes to these product lines actually matter to a lot of people.1 point -

It's an entry level chip for computers... It does better than Intel's entry level chips, and not just Celeron. Remember Microsoft is actually using Pentium in Surface Go. 7c is much better performance and power for the same cost. Even better than Core M at times.1 point -

Nvidia's Ampere based RTX 30 series cards may be getting choked by less powerful CPUs
ZakO reacted to eddman for a topic
CPU bottlenecking becomes less of an issue as the resolution goes up, not the other way around, because the processing load shifts towards the GPU. It'd still be a bottleneck, but if it achieves acceptable frame rates at lower resolutions, then there's a good chance it could manage at higher res too.1 point -
Future Bethesda games will be exclusive to platforms with Xbox Game Pass
dustojnikhummer reacted to dead.cell for a topic
The Xbox app already allows modding. The developer has to enable the option to open up the game's files though. I'm aware, but how deep does that go? Anyone familiar with Fallout or TES games likely know what "script extender" is which a lot of mods rely on, not to mention the other game overhauls and expansions others in the community have done. Unless they've got answers for those, I'm gonna be skeptical, especially as many other items still need a lot of improvement on the Xbox app. (I do use GamePass)1 point -

Nvidia's Ampere based RTX 30 series cards may be getting choked by less powerful CPUs
MS Bob 11 reacted to Suurin_ for a topic
I mean, yes. This is how one tests CPU's against one another. Throw in a powerful, modern GPU and use anything from high to low end CPU's and measure their speed (obv. ensuring all other system component variables are as similar as possible). Then again, most custom builders should already know they shouldn't be buying a $1000+ high-end GPU paired with a cheaper lower-end CPU. If you want more information on how CPU testing is done, reference GamersNexus.1 point -

Windows 10 build 21332 removes 3D Viewer and Paint 3D on clean installs
matthiew reacted to adrynalyne for a topic
Onedrive next please! OneDrive is integral to assimilating users into the Microsoft ecosystem, it is not going anywhere. It has to be updated anyway, so clearly it doesn’t need to be there since we all know MS doesn’t know what a differential update is. All they are doing is downloading a new version. So again, there is no point in including it. Especially since it’s on the store, can be downloaded from the site, and is included with Microsoft 365.1 point -
Windows 10 build 21332 removes 3D Viewer and Paint 3D on clean installs
matthiew reacted to adrynalyne for a topic
Onedrive next please! OneDrive? Hopefully not lol. Why? Is downloading hard? is uninstalling hard? Nope. But if people are going to whine about little crap like Paint 3D, (and they have in the past), we might as well mention that OneDrive doesn’t need to be there either. But hey, if you like the whole opt-out (which is basically what uninstalling is doing, opting out of bloat) approach, more power to ya. On the other hand, Microsoft actually knows how many people use each app and can make decisions based on that. So seriously, why are we even talking about this? And they would get the same numbers from people DOWNLOADING it. It has to be updated once its used anyway, so why add something bound to become deprecated, if it can merely be downloaded? I imagine the people using Dropbox might have very little use for OneDrive. Or they might not. Either way, its downloadable just like all the store stuff they add. Make a placeholder if needed and people can install it that way. If we are going to debloat, lets do it right. We are talking about it because someone mentioned removing it. I'm sure you can fill out the rest by reading the comments. My point was, they already know this crap. Random internet comments aren't going to make them change directions. Well I’m also not discussing it with “them”.1 point -

Vodafone calls for 5% VAT on cybersecurity products to help SMEs
UMX reacted to jbonello for a topic
No, its saying that cybersecurity software should have the VAT reduced on it so businesses can buy it more cheaply to ensure they don't get hacked. But VAT is not a cost for businesses. If you have a VAT number (which most businesses have), you get back all VAT paid. It doesn't matter if it's 5%, 50% or 90%. The VAT is a tax on the consumer not on businesses.1 point -
IBM study: Gender equity isn't a top priority for business
Lamp Post reacted to Eddo89 for a topic
The issue is, what is "best". You get handed a stack of resume and most people's would be similar, there has been numerous studies on unconscious bias, groups were shown exact application but with photo or name included versus excluded, the ones with non-Anglo names or clearly women are viewed more negatively. Rarely does a resume stand out. There is also another story on the FBI (or CIA) regarding 911. No one understood the symbolism behind Osama Bin Laden making a video in a cave, most thought it was some lunatic. He was lunatic alright, but they didn't take him seriously because he is in a cave, when, and I paraphrase greatly, he was invoking images/metaphors the prophet and that his calls for holy war is for real. Most of the people hired by FBI are highly educated, but they are predominantly white male with certain backgrounds, and they lean towards them because the hirers are often of the same demographic; by hiring more people of same demographic as yourself, you provide positive feedback to yourself. The "best" is merely a perspective on what is the best1 point
