This stupidity is about the only thing in American politics that is truly bipartisan. You shouldn't hate democrats for it. You should hate the entire fucking political system.
We have a Surface Pro 3 and a Surface Pro 4 in our house. Both of them have been replaced. Admittedly they were replaced very quickly without fuss but both for stupid issues (one refused to recognise the keyboard, the other refused to turn on).
wonder how many people will run off the road because some high pitch sound startled them while driving.
I hope 100% of them. Any idiot startled by a sound while driving should hand in their license, or at least not drive a car newer than about the late 80s given that most cars have some high pitched alert tone.
Microsoft tossed out the idea of coming up with reasonable versions
I was about to write some snarky comment about MS having reasonable version numbers behind the marketing of their OS, reflecting the code updates to the kernel.... however...
Windows NT 3.1 = 3.1 Windows NT 3.5 = 3.5 Windows NT 4.0 = 4.0 Windows 2000 = 5.0 Windows XP = 5.1 Windows Vista = 6.0 Windows 7 = 6.1 Windows 8 = 6.2 Windows 8.1 = 6.3
Singapore is right in the tropics, sweltering year round, and is extremely successful.
In what area? This same line of thinking turned the USA into an intellectual property and legal powerhouse, which didn't play well for their long term manufacturing prospects.
Singapore may be successful, they aren't very good in farming, but damn are they successful at something. We can't all be successful at the same thing.
It seems kinda redundant since my google drive already has all my photos and files
Leaving aside the fact that not everyone clouds things, access to the file system is the first stage of integration. Access to key apps is the second. MS is already working on mirroring any Android app. Right now the software looks a bit useless. It may get less so going forward.
Rey is overpowered, definitely, but I didn't really have a huge problem with that.
No one has a problem with someone being overpowered. People have a problem with the character development which makes them magically solve problems without effort. It creates a story with zero intrigue and a character which is incredibly hollow.
But their performances were ill-served by the writing and directing.
This is the new Starwars in a nutshell. Characters driven by a plot that makes zero sense. Not just developmentally (Mary Sue Rei, or the Leia stupidity) but also who make decisions that make no sense (a small resistance leader withholding critical plan details from one of their most senior soldiers leading to a pointless mutany).
"But.... Russians!!" is the last refuge of the compleat idiot.
I have no reason to believe that Russian nerds liked the movie anymore than anyone else. Chances are that rather than make shitty youtube videos about how bad the movie is, they just activated their twitterbots.
Rei's biggest problem is her name. A more fitting name would be Mary. Mary Sue. Her character isn't terrible, but the plot of her character development is created by someone who must have missed the Writing 101 class titled "Don't Do This!"
Good to hear something is working. However I don't trust any opinion regarding snafus. Unfortunately someone in your company has a history of systematically ignoring problems raised by insiders, even on their own premium hardware.
Windows 10 has had Targetted Branch disabled on all my devices ever since stories about Windows 10 bugs affecting Surface devices, and more importantly being reported by insiders.
At this point it's like playing russian roulette if you have a Surface. It's more like playing reverse russian roulette where most of the chambers are filled if you have something else too.
Eagerly awaiting the Semi-Annual release for broad deployment in a few months:-)
Since Windows 1.0, there has been a system-wide color theme.
Since Windows 95 that was over. Remember Winamp? It didn't give two s***s about your system-wide settings, and neither did an entire world of applications afterwards. Real Player, ICQ, probably the most widely used currently: Chrome, or Steam.
As someone who ditched a Dell 4 years ago for a Surface Pro 3, I have been far more productive carrying around a device with this form factor and connection options than I ever was with an old chunky heavy laptop that spent a lot of time at home rather than on the road with me.
If you're buying a Surface Pro as a small workstation you're an idiot. If you're comparing it to a full feature laptop then you likewise significantly missed the point. I suggest you scroll down further in the anouncment since there's a product more suitable to your needs.
Equating the environmental concerns of the manual, which few people read, is not necessary at all for the function of the device, and can be obtained in alternative formats, with the actual device itself is just utterly stupid.
Instead look at the environmental cost benefit analysis of the printed manual vs the device itself. You'll find there's no good reason to send paper at all with any product.
Also technical writing. No manual, paper or PDF these days even remotely comes close to the resources at hand on the internet or a dedicated book on the topic. Why settle for second best? Before the days of the internet paper manuals made sense. These days most people don't even read the manual online but rather look for other ways to solve their problems.
Ironically the last Apple guide I saw was titled something like "Apple iPhone Simplified" kind of like an idiots guide. It weighed in at 380 pages and cost €25
What kind of a 3rd world do you live in where you don't have access to an internet connection to debug another internet connetion?
No I would have asked this in a Dibert style way maybe 10 years ago, but now... seriously. Can't figure out how to go online, just download the damn manual. If you can't figure out how maybe you shouldn't be using electronics.

they goal here is to get the two classes of workers (hourly and salaried) fighting among themselves and prevent them from Unionizing.
As a salaried employee represented by the same union at my work that also represents the hourly employees can I send you a "Huh?"
So, what's Microsoft's endgame here?
Complete buy-in to the Windows ecosystem with all of MS's services at the core.
There's only one other E. The correct saying now is "Embrace, Extend, Watch-idiots-misquote-this-because-they-don't-understand-how-EEE-works".
This is why I fucking hate the Democrats.

You mean that bastardized OS known as Windows 8 is just a "minor change" from the smooth-running Windows 7? Nonsense!
Not nonsense at all. The Windows 8 kernel didn't go through any major changes. They only horrendously screwed the UI.

It's turning into a real MS fanboi site.
Because an article has been posted? Have you read the comments? It's not an MS fanboi site. It's a troll site.
Don't all of these devices run Windows?
They do. What does the OS matter? Users don't care.
Give them 5 more years in the hardware industry
Another 5? Shit how much longer?
Microsoft isn't selling any of the Surface stuff. They are shipping it, but it isn't selling.
This gets funnier the more you post it because every time you do MS is rolling in more silly amounts of money.

Thanks for your input. To help us in the future please provide an itemised list of all the other things you don't want.

or go home.
That's a great idea. I'll need to go home and get the Thinkbrick because it's so heavy I didn't bother carrying it with me in the first place.
All I see is small, sleek, nicely finished, and incredibly light allowing me to carry it anywhere without thought.
So rather than fuck the company, fuck me instead. I as the end user promote this model.
