Microsoft’s implementation of the feature is called Windows Update Delivery Optimization.
Here’s a short optimisation guide: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/windows-delivery-optimization.html
Fundamentally it’s not like the Bittorrent protocol, even though there are similar behaviours and the result is the same. Microsoft retains the ability to stop the network from seeding updates and has ways of only targeting specific supported configurations to receive new updates.
Ah, Russian boot-licking.
Google’s Pixel Fold is pretty much what I’d like to see in a folding phone, whereas Samsung’s extremely tall aspect ratio is a bit too thin for one-handed use.
Other competitors have figured out the formula for something that works well open and closed, so for the Fold type devices I’d like to see Samsung improve on the design and squish it a little, especially because it is so thick when folded.
Flip-style devices on the other hand, those are immediately cool. If the Z Flip had similar cameras to the S23, I would have considered holding out for one. The battery life on the S23 is what won me over.
This is the basis of the ASUS warranty issues recently when they had exploding AM5 motherboards and vague text about EXPO support voiding warranty, painting themselves into a corner when they only had unsupported firmware that would technically void warranty.
It doesn’t matter that the company says “Oh we won’t enforce that rule” but they still keep the rule in place.
macOS? You gotta be kidding. Windows and Office is huge.
Just the entrenchment of Sharepoint and Outlook alone is enough to make switching to anything else a difficult prospect.
The launcher isn’t really the problem, it’s the fact that Overwatch 2 isn’t making them any money!
Spez has almost never had the gift of foresight.
“We need to be fair in our broadcasting!”
Yes, but you don’t have to platform Nazis.
That’s probably why digital displays still have analog speedometer options. At a glance it’s easier to tell what’s happening with your speed, rev count, and other levels like fuel.
But much of that utility is useful for manuals and ICE-powered cars.
FTC really screwed themselves over building their arguments in the courtroom.
Right at the beginning of the announcement, Spencer appeared in an interview talking about it and started listing old ActiBlizz IP that the company owned, but did nothing with, saying that it would be cool to bring some of those franchises back.
There’s no way you can argue against that. Bringing more games to consumers was always Microsoft’s argument for the deal going through.
They probably looked at Facebook’s latest dumpster fire involving hauling data outside of the EU and decided to just not find a workaround.
They don’t want users to be able to wipe their own chats manually or via GDPR requests.
If anyone asks, they will be told that the data is gone, but we all know that’s not the case. They do have backups.
“Off the record” largely implies that an NDA would be involved, considering “confidential information that should not be shared with others.”
Meta’s decision to work towards federation does need to be taken with a lot of salt. Corporations using open platforms or open source to make their money has always resulted in power imbalances that, left unchecked, may become impossible to solve without concessions from said corporation, or else [X] thing just gets hung out to dry.
You have to hope the people running that company understand that these problems exist, and actively work against ruining everything for everyone else that relies on it.
Which is strange because there seems to be support for notifications of a mention? Jerboa even has a section for it, but no one has mentioned me yet so I don’t know if it works.
My money is on Twitter employees and core engineers.
Oh so that’s what the Spider-Man meme was about. Zuck knew this was coming.
Given the… frankly absurd rate at which people are signing up to servers, and subscribing to other servers, and posting and commenting and upvoting and…
I mean it’s getting a bit hairy, and user growth was already following a very steep growth curve. Reddifugees are hugging all instances to death.
Well yes, it’s really difficult to switch when government only just managed to migrate to Windows 10 on most machines, and still uses Microsoft’s document formats for everything aside from PDF.
Up until a few years ago, UNISA was still using public-facing IIS servers and SARS was paying up the wazoo to maintain old Flash applets that people used to file their taxes.
One government department managed to waste R5 million on a WordPress website that used a $15 theme.
