Cortana's real value was that early on it let you connect assistants like Alexa to it so you could use Cortana while at your PC to control other assistants. That was what MS envisioned for it, a sort of assistant hub that let you manage the others. Then Amazon killed the ability in Alexa which ended that. MS just never brought out any new ideas to make up for it. It was then just "yet another" assistant, which who is going to use an assistant while at their PC then Alexa in the kitchen then also Google Nest when in another room?
You joke, but BSOD is an important feature of Windows, one that Linux doesn't exactly have, which can lead to some wasted time troubleshooting issues.
What I mean by that is that when Linux does a kernel panic, it is far from guaranteed that the normal kernel panic text actually gets shown on the screen, depending on what mode you are in. Sometimes a kernel panic will just result in your desktop manager seeming to go unresponsive, which may lead you down the wrong troubleshooting path.
Great write up.
Microsoft had much from developers when it comes to new features and frameworks.
That fortune seems only Apple appears to have. The day they announce new visuals or API’s, almost all developers jump immediately on implementing it when the first beta is out, so it can be released asap.
And when a developer is slacking, Apple users actively call them out.
Tiles on 10 was great for touch devices, just few people use WIndwos devices in an actual Tablet way.
Groove as GREAT it seamlessly pulled my music to stream from my OneDrive even on the mobile app.
Legacy Edge was also great it was only failed because Google kept screwing with their sites to break them for non-Chromium browsers.
Cortana also had great possibilities and was just never fully realized. Kind of like Siri. IMO they should have just revamped it to be what Copilot is.
Question
Original_
So I created my webservice (auth.asmx) for use in an authentication process.
The service gets passed 3 variables (user, pass, siteID) and checks the database to see if the user is valid.
How do I use it in an app now?
I have no idea - total noob when it comes to leveraging web services.
