Soooo on 10162 I have zero options to change rings for slow or fast and cannot get the new build. I'm signed in with my registered account too.

 

 

Appears for me. Though there was a slight 500ms-1.2s delay for the "Get insider builds" section to appear/render.

All of these are still here in build 10166, with the exception of the fourth bullet.

In fact, bullet no. 2? seems to have gotten worse, with even more apps having messed up sizes.

Here is what I get.

Apple sells more than just 6 and 6S. They are also selling 4S, 5C and 5S in India.

Fun fact: iPhone 4S is giving tough competition to low end Android brands here. :laugh:

...

They're still selling them here too :laugh:

They're not the main platforms though, Apple only ever push the main 2 hardware designs the the older ones get relegated to the background, and are only supported by virtue of users still owning them (That is, Apple doesn't go out of their way to support them, only because a lot of people still own them do they get updates)

They've talked about key areas where Lumia has been held back in my view, one of those was the speed at which they released newer phones, not so much more with slightly different specs but actual new devices, look at the long gap between the 930 and any possible 940 etc.   They talk about releasing faster, which is good, 8-12 months between flagship devices should be just right I'd say.

 

The other thing is any carrier exclusive deals, just kill those and release everything unlocked directly.

Also experiencing this, in addition to it being slow to open when it DOES work (along with the XAML based jumplists).

I don't understand why MS office has the damn upload center for one drive files, when you have one drive either as a separate service or built in on newer versions... the damn upload center seems to f up constantly and end up in some way or another unable to upload or update files. Why can't office just use the regular one drive folder like every other application.

Anyone have iTunes appearing twice when pinned to taskbar? I've tried uninstalling and removed all the Apple directories and looked in the AppData shortcuts and found no duplicates.

Also have a weird bug with the taskbar, spotify icons appears 10seconds after my chrome and file explorer icon :s

Got rid of the whole onedrive integration :D

 

The documents and pictures folder to onedrive redirect drove me nuts...

There's still a problem with the tiles. Each time we click start and move fast over a tile, the select box does not highlight the current tile, but the upper one. Clicking very fast will open the upper tile, and not the current one.

Did you tried pinning the new instance and unpinning the old one? That generally fixes the issue.

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
