And he has admitted it was a mistake to cancel Windows Phone. But Nadella wasn't a hardware guy. He was a cloud guy. And he quickly dumped what he thought was money losing which was hardware. And the market rewarded him with dumping Windows Phone which was an albatross at the time. But now...

Trustworthy? You mean the Apple that made Guizhou-Cloud Big Data, or GCBD, a company owned by the Guizhou provincial government, the legal owner of its Chinese customers’ iCloud data. Apple and GCBD also inserted new language into the Chinese iCloud terms and conditions that granted them...

The changes should make people happy: 1) opt-in instead of opt-out, 2) Windows Hello must be used to use Recall, 3) screenshots and database are encrypted and need Windows Hello authentication in order to open. All that means that it should address the situation that another user on that...

you have to look at the contrived situation that is being posited. The security expert is talking about a hacker that is already logged into the user account and thus has access to Recall data. If the hacker already has access to the system, the system is completely compromised so Recall is...

I just placed the preorder. The Flex keyboards in color are apparently "sold out." They do have black available which I'm not interested. So final price was $1349 + sales tax for the Snapdragon X Elite with OLED display, Sapphire, WiFi, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. I can slum it with my current...

I refuse to believe there won't be a consumer Intel version available. I'm all for more performance and less battery performance. But there's no way I would sacrifice the ability to do anything I want with my PC. That means not worrying about whether my printer works. Whether my accessories...

The Asus is lighter and smaller than the Steam Deck. I already think the Asus is bordering on being too big but next to the Steam Deck, it's svelte. You still have big picture mode for Steam if you don't like Asus's software. And not only do you have Steam, you also have all the other gaming...

the ultimate issue with the Hololens was Microsoft didn't have a processor that was available that was powerful enough and battery efficient enough to drive the Hololens. V1 ran on an Atom because Intel didn't have anything that didn't suck batteries dry in 5 minutes. V2 was on an...

I think it's very premature to dismiss the Xbox/PC Game Pass version. IGN had good insight and extensive playtime with both the Steam version and the Xbox/PC Game Pass version and it's not that big of a discrepancy. The Xbox/PCGP version was clearly started at a later time but it's on the...

it's a fine list but it's not comprehensive. the sad part is Microsoft or anyone else doesn't have a truly comprehensive list of all the differences. they list the main headliner differences. for example, in Windows 11, let's say you have created multiple user accounts for your entire family...

thank you! this would've made the comparison with the Asus more complete. you did a great job comparing all of them. I wish I had the Lenovo in hand. But I do own the Switch, the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally which is why I realized size matters.

I'm surprised the article skipped over the fact that these are supposed to be handhelds. The Lenovo Legion is not a great handheld. It's over half a pound heavier than the Asus ROG Ally which itself is bordering on being too heavy (my opinion is the Steam Deck is also way too big). That...

I agree that they should innovate. Remember how Paul Thurrott and others lambasted the Surface Pro line, saying things like people want real laptops and that the Surface laptop would be Microsoft's bestseller. later to walk it back when the Surface Pro line continues to do very well compared...

Unity undercharged which is one of the reasons why it became so popular. Developing a platform for bottom feeders is not a good business model. That said, Unity getting John Riccitiello as the CEO was a major mistake. This was the guy that wanted to charge real money for virtual bullets in...

out of all my portables, the Asus is my favorite. The new Lenovo looks great but too big for me. good times for everyone!
