I use it mostly as a tablet as I bought it to replace a Surface RT that was lagging way too much. For the first week I even kept it on S Mode to give it a shot and see if I could keep it that way. Well, needless to say after a week, S Mode had to go and that's mainly because Microsoft Edge is...

Yes. When I was a teenager ( I was going to write "kid" and then I was painfully reminded that when I was a kid the most advanced game I could play was Prince of Persia in MS-DOS...) I really enjoyed multiplayer games, we had LAN parties (back then there was non of this paid-subscription for...

I really like fluent design when it's done right. Things like the new settings menu for example look great. Pure black or white background and then translucent elements. In other places, it's vomit inducing like the Store or the Xbox app where it's a grey mess with barely distinguishable glass...

I have also had this problem with the Surface Pro 5 (or 2017, whatever) when drawing. Which is even more annoying. At first I thought it was a problem with me using a Surface Pro 3 pen with the tablet. With the SP3 pen, the problems were beyond awful with sudden enormous lines showing up...

What you mean to say is: Sony hides the ads away from you, Microsoft spams you with them whether you like it or not.

Xbox: - 2 ads to the left of the "recently used", right in front of you. - 2 ads on top of it which tell you useless stuff like "Get assistance here" or "Join Club X" or "Person Y is Z points ahead of you". - Then another ad right next to those two. - 1 ad at the bottom of the Guide - A ton of...

I've used PlayStation all my life. When this gen came out, I decided to give Xbox a shot because it was more media-centred. Last year I went back to PlayStation. The Xbox not only lost most of its media functionalities but the UI got worse and worse with more and more ads spamming me left and...

I buy it the same way I've always done. I get the physical CD. Then I rip it on a computer and put the music in my NAS. Then if I know I'll listen to that music often, I also place it on the microSD card of my dedicated music player. Otherwise I'll stream it from the NAS.

Back when phones were exciting, once a year or even more than once a year. But since 2016 I haven't upgraded my daily driver. Still using the S7 because no phone was launched since that that's as good as that one. I have got and bought a bunch of phones since then, but none of them was worthy...

The Nokia 8 only has Zeiss lenses. It does NOT have any Nokia imaging patents in it nor any Zeiss optimisations. The camera is actually utter crap. Or not. He clearly stated it didn't want a point and shoot. Which is exactly what the iPixels are. No manual controls on them at all. It can be...

The answer to this is actually really simple: you want the LG V30. It's the best camera currently on the market for anyone who knows anything about photography. Galaxy cameras also give you good options but the manual controls on the V30 are much better.

I use them to play the Xbox games on WP. Except for the Nokia 1020 which I continue to use as a camera because it's still way better than any other smartphone (and I shoot RAW so it's not like I care about HDR etc).

Just like every other update, it's a downgrade. The idea behind it is good and it *could* be salvaged but... Let's start with the most annoying: ADS. And in case someone doesn't know what "Ads" stands for, it's a short form of "advertisements". That includes anything from advertisements of...
