  1. Ooh, so edgy! Disabling Windows updates is a moronic thing to do and can only cause your system potential harm. Postponing updates for a short time is reasonable if you're concerned but disabling updates is just silly.

  3. Sony announces PlayStation 5 launch in China, beats Microsoft to it

    They can't sell enough in other key markets so why rush to release in yet another one if you can't keep up with demand to start with? Sure China is a big market but they limit the games that can be sold there and afaik, probably don't have any love for something like game pass which is streaming from outside their digital wall.

  5. Anyone ever question why revenue and profit numbers and so widely publicized and easily available but numbers like yearly employment numbers and average salaries for a company are hidden away? I see these huge income numbers and my first question is did this company hire more people or not? Were there across the board pay raises? I guess it's a just reflection of $ being more important than people in our society.

  10. Hey Microsoft I have an idea. Instead of "rearranging the plants", concentrate on these type of issues first! Stop worrying about icon changes until you have all the bugs fixed first.

  12. No. Just MS's obsession with "change for the sake of change." MS just can't leave well enough alone. Their decade long history of mucking around with what used to be a good solid reliable OS is a great illustration. So, because you don't know their thinking behind the change, you've automatically assumed there can't possibly be a good reason for changing it? That's a pretty illogical way of thinking, frankly. What obsession? After 14 years they're changing the default font and that's an obsession, somehow? Times New Roman was a piece of junk font - like Arial - and it horribly needed to be replaced. The best font I've seen in a long time is Roboto. That's a great font.

  13. No. Just MS's obsession with "change for the sake of change." MS just can't leave well enough alone. Their decade long history of mucking around with what used to be a good solid reliable OS is a great illustration. If you take this stupid argument to its logical conclusion, then Microsoft should've never released anything after Windows 1.0. After all, why keep "mucking around"? After all, we all make perfect choices the first time around, and should never EVER revise our thinking based on changing circumstances or new information......... right?

  15. Display technology, and studies on eye care change. Fonts should change to take those into account. In 2007 No one was taking into account displays with 1440P, 4K+ resolution and technologies like OLED and mini LED.

  17. Sony announces PlayStation 5 launch in China, beats Microsoft to it

    Given China's regulatory nightmare, why does it matter if Sony beat them? Who knows, maybe Sony was willing to pay some bribes and MS isn't. We all know how utterly corrupt China is.

  18. Google now lets you know when you need to quarantine in your destination area

    Yes, we rather not have that information at all. No you don't need it. Use what you already have and keep it moving. Google does not need to be in the middle if everything. Some people do need that kind of information and that is what Google does provides information. Weird huh? You don't need to use that feature? Simple, don't use it or opt out of Google search and maps altogether. No need to be triggered over it.

  20. Why did you put that way? Just say Microsoft is taking 12% instead of 30%. That's the typical way app store cuts have been described in the media.

    $5 million? What a joke. They probably are spending more money organizing and marketing it.

  36. OH. MY. GOD. This bug is absolutely ancient, and people have been screaming for a fix for MANY YEARS, and nobody at Microsoft cared, since they were busy with Paint 3D and other important things. I almost don't even believe it. I'll celebrate once I actually see the fix, I don't think I'd be able to handle the disappointment if it turns out to be nothing.

    Yeah, I don't get... Why bother with the extra overhead of severing another market when you can't meet the demand in your current markets.

  39. Why did you put it that way? The two sentences mean the same thing. Spy Beef already explained that is normally how media posts on the subject present the information. What the % the store takes on the sales. He is right and he is almost never right.

  49. Yup. We are all get chipped. Where do you get this crap? Already in place in Israel. It's called Green Pass. I don't discard it may turn into a microchip eventually though that's kinda beside the point. Watch goalposts move from "that's crazy talk, ain't gonna happen" to "it's for your own good".
