Most software has migrated to either Software as a Service (SaaS) or the cloud. The majority of work people do is via a web browser. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari; with few exceptions, SaaS doesn't care
Just wrong. Another dumb ass ignorant article form a twerp who think they have some work experience.
Given we run 30 windows Vm's on a 3 node KVM cluster (Proxmox) I'd say someone had no idea how to configure windows for virtualisation. It runs just fine, windows 7, 2008/R2 and 10, desktop and servers.
On punch cards. We had to post them from our country school to a data center in the nearest town (Invercargill) who would run them and post the output back. Turn around for bug fixes was a week.
Keep in mind, Windows had a super tiny mobile market share even at the time, and still manages to be responsible for 80% of malware on mobile networks.
Bogus clickbait article that is plain wrong. Its counting *Windows PC's* that are connected via mobile data as mobile phones, given the dominance of them in the desktop market and that most virus are targeted at desktop of course they dominate stats.
Given the tiny % of Windows Mobile phones it is obviously quite ridiculous to claim they account for 80% of malware. I'm not aware of any real windows mobile malware.
The vast majority of mobile malware is Android, because of its market dominance, pathetic security model and total lack of security updates.
Sure the app situation sucks - if you want them. But the Tiled UI is far superior to the mess that is Android and it is actively updated. If you just want a secure phone with a great camera and text/mail/web and some basic apps, Windows Mobile is the way to go.
To put that into perspective, it takes roughly 28 days for our Moon to do a single lap around our relatively tiny planet at speeds of 3,683 km(2,288 miles) per hour
Please, spare us the bogus patronising primary school comparisons.
I'm thinking of locking systems that block access when at the border and can only be unlocked when in a civilised country or the USA:) (sorry, couldn't resist)
Not sure if GPS is accurate enough for that though
My sympathies and I feel exactly the same. My Dad died of colon cancer back in 2012.
Side Note: Hope you're getting regular colonoscopies (?spelling). With my family history I get them every 3 years. 4 Polyps removed so far. If caught early, colon cancer is very treatable, even preventable.
For a work phone, Windows 10 Mobile is actually a fantastic platform.
Agree and I think thats where MS's strategy is aimed, phones that can be easily integrated, provisioned and locked down via a Enterprise server would be a winner in large corporate. Might be a place for them in SMB's to.
One thing Windows Phone/Mobile - be it 8 or 10 - has always lacked has been a good VOIP app
Sadly, also agree:( I'd love a sip client that tightly integrated with the dialer and contacts.
the last time I checked, my 640 had: - Security Updates - App updates - Stock App improvements and new features
All on a regular basis. This for a budget phone released several years ago.
The Tile UI works really well on a phone device, plus the UWP platform actually works, I do write apps that run unaltered on phone and desktop.
Admittedly the lack of third party apps is a problem for some. For me, I could care less - the basics, Email, Web, Phone all work very well. And I'm lucky enough that the banks I use have Windows Phone apps.
For some reason there a large section of the low rent IT media that has a big hate on for windows phone and basically run wall to wall "The End is Nigh!" articles based on unsourced random innuendo. I ignore them, the platform is well supported and isn't going away.
Not even close. 1080p video requires upto 3.4Mbps max, depending on compression,sensor overhead is negliable. Double that for stereo, then quadruple it for higher res, call it 30Mbps
"The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a politically conservative non-profit association founded in 1943 to "fight socialized medicine and to fight the government takeover of medicine"
Yeah, we've switched to 16.04/Unity at work - usable, stays out of the way.
One of the few DE's that works well with multiple monitors - vertical launcher/task bars that lets you lock apps to the bar. Perfect for widescreen monitors, vertical realestate is valuable. Mate/LXDE/XFCE are all lacking there. KDE works well but ridiculously flacky eye candy.
but konsole is just so much nicer than the terminal that comes with Xfce.
This - I loath what KDE has become, but for me some kde apps are best of class and I really miss them - konsole, Dolphin, task bars that work in vertical orientation, kmail - when it works.
Having said that, the instability constant rewrites, developer attitude and abandonware have become to much. I run std Ubuntu/Unity now at work, much happier for it. Just gets stuff done.

And for once, not a fault of the editors - that is a truly ridiculous collection of buzzwords and "services", but they seem necessary.
Considering this is a broadcom problem, I don't see what difference it makes in this regard.
However in overall security, I somewhat doubt it:

Developing for it is pretty easy to.

App updates mostly come via the store, if you check the history there you'll probably find regular activity.

Eh? last time I checked my Windows 10 Phone (a 640) it had Outlook plus the other office apps, always has.
It's Steorn all over again.
Apart from the open process and independently verified results
VC 2015 dropped the all caps menus, went back to a sane UI. *Much* better than 2013

Ok, I'll give IntelliJ a go. Does get a lot of good reviews and there's a free edition now I believe.
Caveat: For me anyway :)
Every time I'm forced to use Eclipse (lot of embedded dev environments require it) I end up wanting to poke my eyes out with a stick.
Where's the "-1 Idiotic" mod when you need it?

Whats "SuSefied" about KDE? Not even sure what that means :)

So setup a WSUS server
