The color picker in particular is a massive step backwards. I've always thought the normal Windows color picker could stand some improvement and additional features. But this is moving in the wrong direction by taking away features.

In the Round 18 Plaintext results that the OP linked to [1], you can see a pretty clear convergence at ~7 million requests per second, which I've screen captured in [2]. [1] https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#

Awesome work! FWIW: Hyper is among several that are bandwidth-limited by the 10-gigabit Ethernet in our (TechEmpower) Plaintext test. We hope to increase the available network bandwidth in the future to allow these to higher-performance pl

I'm not in the Apple ecosystem so I've not previously heard of this product, nor Sidecar or the amusing verb "sherlocked." I don't have a lot to add except to say that the blog entry was substantially more insightfu

I had the same reaction. I was wondering, "Since when are Word, Excel, and Photoshop enterprise software?" I've been using these as consumer desktop software for decades. That said, I do agree with GP that enterprise softwa

True, but I think GP is arguing that in America, if there was a state that wanted to secede, there would be a pretty lively debate about the idea; it would not be a matter with a 90% opposition consensus as has been conjectured for the Chin

Correction: The bigger device is Surface Neo (running Windows 10 X), the smaller device is Surface Duo (running Android).

Which is why I'd like an Android subsystem. I want the basic UI experience and default apps to be Windows 10 X. For 90% of my phone usage, I'm using the stock apps (launcher, email, browser, calendar, etc.), and I'd prefer

The Surface Laptop 3 looks very compelling though, especially with the Ryzen option.

Indeed they did, but this is a device still in development, to be released late 2020. I would not be surprised if the Windows 10 X team is working to make it at least possible to run 10 X on the smaller device. I'd much prefer 10 X w

I'm going to pick one up regardless, but if they can bring Windows 10 X to this device, and provide a docking experience that expands to approximate a full PC, the result would be fantastic.

I've met some who are very quiet about it, presumably precisely for that reason. It's no surprise that you don't really hear about the ones who are highly-prepared but don't say much.
