I don't know if it's worth changing phones over, but Overcast is a really nice podcast player (smart speed works very, very well). Apollo is nice for reddit.

Calendaring in Outlook is worlds better than anything else I've used, there's a ton of niceties (pick a time, type a name and it automatically tells you that person is unavailable. same with rooms.). Exchange's sync is very g

Probably covering their butts in case whatever benchmark they used works differently on ARM vs x86, or if there are weird macOS differences. If there were a bunch of performance patches made to the Mac version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider t

What do you do if your laptop gets wet or lost? Or if someone runs it over? There’s not a ton of instances where the system won’t boot but somehow the SSD has survived. Besides, the recent storage Apple has used is all encrypted with the ke

That’s not really their strategy anymore, it’s not “bundle a bunch of mediocre stuff” but more “Bundle it with Exchange and Outlook”, which is an excellent product. People will buy Exchange, and then the Teams button just magically pops up

You can buy it as a gift and choose not to send it to anyone, which puts it in your inventory until you choose to send it.

<textarea> and <input> are also affected by the extension, so if they saved the page and went back to it later, the instances of cloud inside the box would've been replaced with butt.

It’s probably because Actions is a fork of Azure Pipelines, which was originally designed to coordinate runners on Windows (where containers aren’t nearly as flexible or compatible as they are on Linux). Microsoft came up with some fancy in

I wonder if they’ll ever add support for Vulkan to macOS/iOS then. If Valve can move the Steam Deck, then there could be a gigantic boost in the available library of games (since all of the big games on Steam will want to target Proton

Not all US credit card companies are like this. I specifically remember a few years ago that my Mom got a call from AMEX about some fraud on her card, to which she responded “I never get calls from you, how do I know this is real?”. They sa

That's not enough. You also need to buy a enterprise developer certificate from Apple (a few hundred dollars?). App Store apps can be deployed via MDM for free, but not ones you write.

What's the value-add here over a traditional VPS? Codespaces (or Coder/code-server, or gitpod) have the benefit of launching in your browser and being really easy to destroy/spin up if needed. This seems like you're payi

It's because of two things: OEMs wanted Microsoft to help them sell some new devices (minimum requirements for Windows haven't been raised for the most part for 13 years. If your machine could run Windows 7, Windows 10 worked fine

How is there a rumored release date for a emergency driver update? Isn't it just "release after it passes the tests", or at the very least, "release after we run it for 24 hours and it doesn't light the machine on f

Teams for Business (from the creators of Skype for Business) will be coming next year with WebView2 (I can't find a source for it, but it was in one of the blog posts explaining why there are now two Teams clients).

I was on a team this summer that used Teams, and although many people there lamented their loss of Slack, I didn't think there was a big deal. In fact, I was surprised how well Teams was performing, considering the last time I used it

No, it’s because it’s free with Exchange, and also because this can’t happen (even if you screw up and lose access to all of your global administrator accounts somehow, you can contact Microsoft and prove you own the domain name to get back

Scoop was designed to be able to work without admin rights, keeping everything in the user's directory. Which is good for users, but not really for system administrators who don't want six versions of Teams or whatever out of sync

It sounds like something Microsoft would come up with. Well, it's missing a "NT Azure Client Access License". Why didn't they just keep AdoptOpenJDK? That was a good name IMO.

Of course, that's against the Microsoft licensing agreement. The VS Extension marketplace is only licensed for use with Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (as are all of the good Microsoft extensions: Pylance, the Remote Pack, Codesp

Except for the remote extensions, Pylance, and Live Share, IIRC. Which are pretty important to a lot of people's use of VSCode.

I think that the illegal (ish) part comes from Apple making macOS free if you're installing it on Apple hardware. They don't publicly license it for use on non-Apple hardware, although, I would guess that VMWare if not others has

I mean, I’m using it on stable Windows 11. The README says it shipped in build 21xxx which is 1000 builds behind Windows 11’s number. I can check though. And for the other parts, the interop bits are new, but the deck from when the WSL2 dev

VAIL and WSLg are available now in stable builds of Windows 11. I think VAIL was originally designed to be able to connect to containers that ran Win32 apps so that they looked natural, but since containerizing Win32 apps and their 30 years
