It'll be a requirement for OEMs, not for consumers. OEMs already have a list of requirements they have to meet in order to sell Windows devices. For example, for the last several years it's been a requirement that OEMs include a T

Before we all grab our pitchforks, maybe we should take a moment and realize that this is a single review on Amazon that's lacking in important details. The headline here reads "Acer disables BIOS for laptops sold through Amazon&q

Ryzen 1000 chips have TPM. We don't know exactly what feature Microsoft wants that they don't have. They announced this morning that they're going to do more testing of Ryzen 1000 and Intel 7th gen chips during the preview in

I think there's two reasons memory usage is lower. First, WebView2 is essentially just another tab in an already running browser process. If they're not pinning to a specific version of WebView2, they're reusing the host mach

I actually did something a bit similar[1], but with a Raspberry Pi 4, which has native composite out. I have it looping through Plex playlists of media that was originally released towards the end of the SD era (although most of it is high-

I just went through the Exposure Notifications flow on Android, and selected a region where it's not currently available (Arkansas). It displayed a message saying it wasn't supported in my region, and left the setting disabled. Wh

Virtually every non-trivial Android application has these permissions, none of which are even important enough for the system to prompt you for permission. The only interesting one is "pair with Bluetooth devices" which is how the

I think it's far more interesting to think about what went wrong so that the MassNotify app actually displays as installed on these devices. All of the Android COVID exposure apps for US states are simply the Google Play Services COVID

Blergh, was trying to decide between "two decades" and "quarter of a century" and my brain went with both!

I honestly don't envy Microsoft. On one hand, you have the people who don't want Microsoft to break backwards compatibility. They want Microsoft to retain the ability to run programs written a quarter of a century[1] ago. This is

That's a totally fair point, but the argument to that is "don't support this developer" not "sell your Oculus Quest". Getting mad at Oculus for this is basically like getting mad at Apple because developers are

As someone who was initially resistant to hooks, I actually find that they're a more expressive API to how I was already thinking about my applications. There's footguns for sure, just like there are with class components, but I f

I usually give Google shit for copying everything Apple does, but I sincerely hope that they (and Microsoft) copy this feature. I'd love to have extensions like Stylus and Microsoft Editor on my phone. Plus this would open up a massive

Absolutely wild that PCIe 4.0 was saturated just two years after introduction in the consumer market.

OBS has a slight learning curve, but I find that it's able to do everything I need, including screen region recording, single window recording, and overlaying/switching between screen and webcam.

Oh my goodness. It's wonderful. This needs to be part of browsers by default! The only suggestion I have so far is it'd be pretty nice for it to be a tab in the dev tools, potentially with element highlighting as I hover over the

One interesting aspect of WebP support (or lack thereof) is that it doesn't work in Slack or Discord, even when those are running in a supported browser. I think things like this are inhibiting adoption of newer formats.

I love that there's a call for more UX patterns to be built into native elements, but I really wish there was a massive push to develop better a11y tooling for developers. Chromium has the A11y Tree View, but it's so noisy that as
