I think if Xbox Play Anywhere is going to gain traction it is going to have to pursue it on a mobile front. Most of the assumed use-cases I hear of is "I play on my xbox, then I go play on my gaming PC". But that doesn't make any sense, because those two are very similar experiences. Play...

I found myself going back to the classics. I started FFXV, but I don't have the time (or attention span) to really sink dozens of hours into it. It took me over a year to do that with Fallout 4 and I just don't have the heart for that kind of commitment anymore. I also find myself watching...

Walmart data center(s) used to dwarf nearly everything this side of the Pentagon. Their data operations is on a massive scale and for MS to step up and partner with them is a testament to the confidence of MS and their operations. A small example of how Walmart uses the data available to them...

Some things I always carry (OG SB but still applies to SB2) 1. Casecrown Campus Messenger Bag 2. 8Bitdo SF30 Pro Controller 3. Retractable USB cable with type-c and lightning adapters (saves space in the bag) 4. V-Moda Crossfade Wireless 2 headphones (they collapse into a case that clips onto...

If you already have it, run it for cheap as free. Just remember that Skype on Xbox was meant to be a consumer level platform. QoS, features, and O365 integrations are completely out of the question. If I were in your position, I'd get a cheap compute stick and load Win10 on it. You can still...

+1 for O365 subscription. If your work or school uses O365, you can use that account or see if they offer an employee/student discount. There is a free one month trial, that cuts a few bucks off the first year.

The 13.5” SB2 looks to be identical in dimensions, but as someone else said it looks like the locking mechanisms aren’t compatible.

My OG SB i1/8GB/dGPU works well enough for me, but I'd LOVE the performance bump of a 1050 as opposed to the hamstrung ~940 or so. Has it been confirmed or denied that the new base would work with OG SBs? If that's the case I might be able to talk my dad into getting one then switching the...

You're telling me that a software developer/service provider acquisition from Microsoft is leading to a horrible and fragmented experience across other Microsoft products and services? Say. It. Ain't. So. I think MS does a great job in selecting other companies for acquisitions and mergers...

I wouldn't mind running 10s on an ipad mini type replacement. Something that is just a small knockaround tablet used for ebooks and Netflix.

I've been saying it up and down, every way I can for the last couple of weeks: The Skype team needs to start using MDL 2.0 for the design framework. No more bubbles as the message windows. Use the same send arrow as the rest of MS products. Use wireframe icons and color scheme and buttons. I'm...

Adblock loaded and it works great now. Please please please please please consider advertising partners that don't compromise the quality of the site.

Maybe I'm just lucky. 3 hours of podcast and youtube cruising and I went from 100% to 67%. On a two year old battery getting 10 hours isn't awful. Not desirable though, so I'm thinking a new battery off of ebay is coming up.

I've been having good luck with .1004 as well. Seeing as how .1003 set the bar kinda low though, I'll wait a few more days before giving a final verdict. Dat Messaging Everywhere tho :)

James, is there a specific log file or event in event viewer that would be most helpful? There are a lot of threads now with individuals expressing less than satisfactory browsing experiences and I find it hard to believe that there aren't targeted logs you want to see or that you can't recreate...

Browser is edge 37.14332 and Chrome v.50 on an i7 dGPU surface book running windows 10 on the slow ring. Navigating to windowscentral.com initially loads ok, then just crawls to a stop after scrolling down the articles list. If I open news stories in new tabs the entire browser just hangs for...

Any update on a decision by the powers that be? I'm just about ready to throw in the towel :/

You mean the clicking of the muscle wire? No you cannot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs2aHC3L4Ik Can't watch the video, there's a wire holding the two pieces together. An electrical charge changes the tension so you can attach or detach the tablet with the keyboard base.

Just bought one of these, very excited for when it gets delivered. Do you find the free drive space a limit at all? Do you notice any lag or ghosting on the display?
