I don’t think it’s hypocritical if you’re against a foreign nation from using your own nation’s tech in their military, especially if it’s hostile towards yours? That seems like a no brainer. It’s like selling weapons to your enemy, that’s essentially treason (not that it means anything right now with Trump lol). It’s only hypocritical if they are against it simply for using it.
That’s actually hilarious that this outlet thought a animated video was real.
For what it’s worth, Satya shutting it down it wasn’t any better. At least with Balmer, it may still be alive today. It was actually doing pretty well in certain markets in Europe. All of which they threw away very quickly after Satya took over.
I’m not as familiar with Balmer’s time but it sure seems MS under Satya was way more trigger happy when it comes to cancelling and deprecating products.
I mean the physical movement of the trackpad. Traditional non haptic trackpads physically get pushed down when you click on them.
Force Touch is something I am not sure that was ever done outside ~the Mac~ Apple. I still love how the trackpad isn’t really a click, but a haptic tap that can occur at a configurable pressure, and does not occur at all when the device is powered off.
The recent Surface laptop also use haptic trackpads. That said I feel like I’m in the small minority that absolute hates force touch which is a real shame because the pre-force touch trackpads was the best trackpads anyone has ever made. I can definitely feel the lack of movement when I use a force touch trackpad and it feels extremely uncomfortable to me. So much that a Macbook is completely unusable without a mouse for me.
Adblockers apparently
A higher price I can stand but ads in a paid service? If they do that, I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t just use ublock origin with Spotify on the web or a modded APK instead.
I think it’ll work if they just make the screen slightly smaller than the Lite, like maybe just quarter to half an inch. Use an OLED screen for smaller bezels and then put the buttons below the screen and make it foldable like a GBA. It’ll reduce the footprint a lot.
hastily integrating the browser into everything, regardless of it making sense
So software development in general in the last couple of years?
There was a video from LTT not too long ago where they contacted MS about the issue. It’s supposedly due to device manufacturers not implementing the spec properly so they ended up giving up on it.
Hasn’t stopped the banks from doing it either way. It’s frustrating when shops end up using bank-specific protocols that force you to use the bank app to pay rather than the country standardised protocol.
E.g. Having to use DBS’s shitty app to pay because shops use their protocol instead of the nation-wide PayNow standard which works with GPay.
Yea the most they do is bundle it with the phone which you can them easily uninstall.
Still have my Fold 3 which I got 2 years ago, it’s definitely more fragile so if you’re prone to dropping your phone maybe don’t get it but it’s not as fragile as people make it seem. It’s not for everyone for sure but damn is it convenient and useful.
Yea the gameplay is fun but I’m frankly not a fan of the whole sports theme. The announcers are pretty obnoxious to me.
The cost of switching over to Linux might be higher than simply getting newer hardware. Training people is pretty difficult lol
Windows 10s death is going to force a lot of poorer folks to consider alternatives - and let’s be honest, it’s going to be Linux. The majority of hardware out there in the world can’t run 11, let alone a proposed 12.
For the more technically strong people, I can see that happening but I very much doubt the general public would do that. They probably don’t even know what Linux is.
Samsung has let you swap the back and menu keys for years.
They definitely did with Surface. They stumbled for a bit but the Pro 3 - 4 made 2-in-1 laptops actually good.
WP had a far superior 3rd party YouTube app than any other platform’s first party app at the time. The only reason why they didn’t have a first party was because Google was intentionally throwing road blocks to prevent it from happening.
I guess? Although that’s not what I was referring to anyways. Whether your government considers a nation an enemy or not doesn’t mean that other nation isn’t hostile to yours and the people in it.
