Bullshit. I'm a few months into switching from a Nokia 950 Windows Phone to a Galaxy S9+ and I still wish for things WP had.
- The ability to choose a snooze delay time when the alarm goes off. (!!!!) - The ability to record 4K video with STEREO AUDIO. Fucking S9+ does 4K video, but only mono audio. WTF? - Replacable battery - Continuum smokes DEX as far as working full screen. (Weirdly, my Windows Phone Continuum device will work with that Galaxy, never expected that.) - So many little things I grew to love about WP that don't exist in android.
Yes, earlier Windows Phones/earlier Windows Mobile were kind of shitty. But they finally nailed it with Windows Mobile 10 and the Nokia 950 line, just to give up on it. Satya sucks, he's only concerned about building the Azure cloud while cannibalizing the rest of the company.
And as I said: About done with Chrome all the way. Currently posting with Firefox, it's gotten a lot better again.
Strangely, I trust Microsoft more than I do Google.
I remember thinking the Internet was going to be this great thing that freed everyone's minds, but now it's just become a nasty surveillance trap. I has a sad. Especially for my grandchildren having to grow up in this world, never knowing the pre 9/11 mindset.
Trust your passwords to data miners? Even after their "we didn't mean to do it" escapade of scanning everyone's wifi while driving by with the google maps car.

Dunno about that being a bad thing. Three months after finally having to switch over from my Nokia 950 (windows phone) to Galaxy S9+, I am still daily wishing for the windows phone to be back. They finally nailed it with that last phone/os.
I woke up in a Soho doorway The policeman knew my name He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away" I staggered back to the underground The breeze blew back my hair I remembered throwing punches around And preachin' from my chair

Absolutely the same thing I was thinking. Or worse, even the outsourced code development can be stolen. Just as bad as China, what they cannot invent, they will steal.
America needs to start embracing long-term planning, rather that "current quarter" thinking. Can't maintain any strategy with that short-term thinking and it will soon be our undoing if we don't figure out how to combat it. China plans long-term, we are planning pretty much nothing. It's like playing chess against a high-level player using a random number generator to pick your next move, other than Shakespeare's monkeys, that's no way to survive.

Why? I've worked with both AWS and Azure, and I'd personally pick Azure as the better service.
Is this just some archaic "MS Bad" shit from the 1990s, or do you have actual facts?
Maybe if they just had a bunch of cellphones fall from space... ;)

OMG! On Visual Studio I just have to hit CTRL-SHIFT-B (For Build) and it builds the code, and I don't even have to type anything obscure like
gcc my_program.c -o my_program
Is that better for you?
Pathetic junk for insecure people. Can't wait til that idiot company goes out of business.

Nice! I did not know that. Thanks!
Best for security if everyone backs off from multi-tenant cloud servers for now. It was a nice try, but too insecure.
Please elucidate

>I expect you just hate Apple because they are Apple.
I seriously detest Apple. But I've got to say they did the right thing here.
"Phones would be windows phones"...
Dunno about that being a bad thing. Three months after finally having to switch over from my Nokia 950 (windows phone) to Galaxy S9+, I am still daily wishing for the windows phone to be back. They finally nailed it with that last phone/os.
Dammit, they finally do something right and ...

> The country that used nuclear weapons against POC is suddenly the good guys?
The country that sneak-bombed our troops that we are still digging out 70+ years later? Fuck you asshole. That was not racism, that was retaliation.
Go fuck your POC-marked face.
Right up there with "I promise not to cum in your mouth"
How to know which VPNs are trustable and not just a honey pot for some unscrupulous operator that sells your info anyway?

I take it you haven't used it in a LONG time.
It used to be slow, but the recent versions are way fast.
Don't know what bugs you are talking about, so can't comment on that. I don't run into any.
The UI used to be kind of plain, but now there's several to choose from, even one that emulates that horrid MS Office Ribbon.
Libre only sounds gay when combined with Nacho.
