    They can pry 7 from my cold dead hands
    Or, hopefully, WINE might be good enough to play all the game by then.

    Ouch. Then this is a bad deal then.
    That is my main issue with that app.
    And its a big damn issue.

  5. Re:Is One Note really useful? on Microsoft Drops OneNote From Office, Pushes Users To Windows 10 Version (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    I use it a bit.
    I keep recipes and troubleshooting notes I like just in case the site or page is lost for whatever reason.

    I know I havent played with it in a bit, but doesn't the UWP app and site have WAY less features that the desktop version.
    If that is still true, this idea can go fuck itself.

  7. Re:Pff! Sounds like an unfounded rumor! on Microsoft Delays Windows 10 Spring Creators Update Because of 'Higher Percentage of BSODs' (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Just what?
    Don't leave us in suspense.

  8. They aren't delaying it for BSODs. Why do they care. They release updates like that all the time.
    What broke is the user tracking software. That is why they are delaying it.

  9. Re:What the fuck. No! on 'A Fresh, Clean Look.' Gmail Is About To Get a Makeover (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    OK. I would like some examples of these.
    I don't see 3d beyond the floating button and those terrible cards. I always have issues on what is selectable or not.
    It might be clean looking, but it is not elegant. Everything is way to large.

  10. Re:User control on 'A Fresh, Clean Look.' Gmail Is About To Get a Makeover (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    In all honesty, not very hard.
    I tend to only read and delete messages with the phone apps. So this was more of annoying feature than one getting in my way.
    Do the composing on the web version.

    OH SHIT. Thank you for that. I was looking for that options.

    To cover up the fact they haven't made a decent product in years if not decades.
    Its the same with Apple and M$ at the least. Lets shiny up are stuff without fixing it. The users won't know and we will get paid.

    Nope. You cannot switch it off.

    Don't touch GMail. It is your only product still worth half a damn. Your Material Design system sucks. No one but you wants this refresh
    Anyone have a different/better free email service.

  16. Re:How many attempts are this now? on Intel Reportedly Designing Arctic Sound Discrete GPU For Gaming, Pro Graphics (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Game being very loosely applied.
    I mean, it will work for most Flash and Facebook games. Also most of the lower end Indie stiff. But, most games I own will not work with just the Intel video
    Hell, emulators are a lot better when a discrete GPU in most cases.

  17. Do they have all the content on Spotify Is Planning a New Version of Its Free Music Service (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless they have a complete library of music and TV, its still a bad deal.
    And they wonder why people keep pirating things.

  18. Re:Dangerous to use open source on AV1 Beats x264 and Libvpx-Vp9 in Practical Use Case (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    It is no worse than Windows or MacOS. Better in most cases.

  19. You can get around this. I have seen people demonstrating it.
    Also, IIRC, its M$ that blocks those and not the CPU manufactures.

  20. Because 7 was the last decent version of Windows
    10 is a bloated messy spyware program and not an OS.

  21. I don't see how on Biometric and App Logins Will Soon Be Pushed Across the Web (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    This is really doesn't seem to fix anything.
    Just changes the password to a piece of hardware that you must always have on you or you must carry 5 around with you
    Also, fingerprint scanning sucks IMO. My phone will not read it unless the sensor is completely clean, and then only works 3 out 10 times. YMMV thou.

    Not like they are picking any up in Washington anyways.

  23. Would need to be able to get on Skype first....

  24. Lolz. Its not going to happen. Windows is way too entrench for Apple or Linux to really get in there.

  25. And who pays $100+ for Office when there are free alternatives?>

    Pay for? No. Use. Yes.
