Suspend is broken under windows too. My Surface 3 constantly loses the wifi card due to suspend, forcing me to uninstall the card and reboot. Last time i had to buy a usb to ethernet adapter to get it working again.
What im afraid of it will be TOO cheap and companies will embed a connection to it in all devices that will always expect to be connected. Right now i can pull the cable modem out and i go off the grid for everything connected to it. Imagine a future where you dont control the connection at all....
Keep in mind, for all of Microsoft's bullshit about cross compatibility, there are plenty of windows phone apps that wont even show up in windows store on PC. When i look on Windows Store on my PC, Spotify doesnt exist, so for a long time i just assumed Spotify wasnt on Windows Store at all. Turns out there is an app, but you can only see it if you are on Windows Mobile. I couldnt believe MS wouldnt give me an option to look at the whole store.
It looks like MS is giving up on ARM altogether and doubling down on x86. They probably see Intel weakening and figure they can get cheap chips out of them.
As to your last point, the Netflix app absolutely sucks on my Surface 3, but netflix runs perfect in Chrome on the same system.
I dont see a reason why Scorpio cant run Oculus Rift, right out of the box. It has the GPU power, the inputs, and the interface for it (Windows Holographic)
IN the end, all this exposes is that people are stupid and need even thier music to be organized for them, in the process losing all manual control. The ipod was a move forward, but it came with a heavy cost. The only thing wrong with this statement is that it underestimates how stupid and lazy most people are.
VR is pushing the specs up more than anything else. Project Scorpio is pretty much built for VR. The current graphics floor is 1080×1200x2@90FPS. We need 40 TFlops NOW.
You know we split the atom right? You know im essentially transmitting thought to you effortlessly for almost no cost, right? For all our faults, we are still almost gods.
I had a Cyrix '200' and it took me DAYS to figure out why i couldn't get it to run at 200 Mhz. In reality it was a 150 Mhz part and the '200' was its 'Performance rating'
Slight correction, they LEASE that spectrum. In an uncorrupt world they would be forced to meaningfully utilize it for the benefit the American citizenry or lose the license.
Its not the cost, its the control. Blu rays come with unskippable ads, they cant be easily backed up, and the physical disc is larger than the computer i store thousands of movies on. Its an anachronism at this point.
To be technical, its not the downloading that gets you in trouble, its the 'making available' that fucks you. You can download movies from direct technologies like http or ftp and the copyright cartels cant touch you. Its torrents that fuck you over by insisting you upload too.

OneDrive is tightly integrated into windows, with no easy way to remove it, so no its not just things off your computer
You gonna faraday cage your wall sized TV?

I expect XP and XP SP3 to execute the same code, yes.This is windows 10, with restrictions added, not a 'new' version of windows.

In 30 years i have never seen a CPU die, outside of overclocking. Never, not one. The idea that mining will wear out the cpu is a joke.
My PHONE has 4 GB of RAM..it uses 2 GB+ regularly.

SO much this. I read Stranger in a Strange Land decades after it was written and it kept leaping out at me how 'quaint' it was.

Thank you for this. Its clear, concise and exposes how we straight up give away huge swaths of ip land for a pittance in return.

You do realize the women antagonists have provocative names, right? Its inappropriate for corporate culture.
