Some folks, myself included, reel at the conventional wisdom that a small screen necessarily means reduced functionality. While I agree that it can be difficult to design information-dense UIs for small displays or provide navigability to a

Virtually all of the complaints Microsoft receives about telemetry could be addressed by simply allowing people a global way to turn all telemetry for Microsoft apps off. If you want to support the improvement of apps by allowing this form

Agreed, it's quite good. Most complaints seem to be focused on mobile. Eh, on mobile I only consume content, so I don't really care if it's hard to post a comment or vote on mobile. Desktop computing is my jam. And any comp

My opinion is that the overall demeanor of desktop user interfaces have steadily become overrun with that of mobile UIs. The "mobile first" mantra has taken a toll on desktop computing, and it's difficult to measure because

To be fair, at least with the Intel Atom C2000-series problem, I find it difficult to blame them. We had a network edge device from another vendor die due to the C2000 defect. I figure the best the vendor can do in that case is offer to r
