I always just folded the screen back before opening the camera app on the first Duo.

Don't have WSJ (I've debated for years whether or not I should pay up, as they tend to be one of the "fairer" news companies), but judging by the headline and the first few lines, they were more concerned about how the software acted than the hardware. Can't say that'd be too much different...

I haven't found anything of the like on reddit, but now that we're half a year out, were there any major recurring hardware issues with the Duo2? While my original Duo seems fine for now, it gave me the green screen for a night, and given that I've been on two replacements for touchscreen death...

Well, at least I'm not alone here. I really like what they've done for the second iteration, that notification bar on the spine is amazing....but I tend to make my phones last and I'm also not the type to trade in my phone and unless there was some freakishly awesome deal to do that. I also like...

Yes, I'm up to date. I updated to prepare in case I got an 11 build. I'm going to be honest....I can't even find a setting for the clock. The taskbar is there! It's on both monitors. There's just no clock on one of them.

Yeah, I've got the clock on only one monitor. The taskbar is indeed on both monitors. I submitted feedback as a suggestion to re-add the option, but maybe it's a bug?

Is there a way to get the system clock to show on both monitors? I feel like this is the one thing I haven't figured out how to do in 11 yet. o_O

A battery should definitely last longer than 5 minutes. Does it show 0% when it dies or something else?

Got curious on Amazon.... Looks like somebody's made a "man purse" for this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Bovine-leather-Microsoft-Surface-brown/dp/B08KJQ8GJ7/?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3823548

The way I see it, the UEFI leaves an opening for fans who want to do this themselves. Keep an eye on people who make ROMs for phones.

Re: For Verizon users... Usually if you make a change with a recognized device (in his case, activating a fresh sim) it'll auto-slap on any missing features.

This skin on Amazon got a good laugh out of me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HW1ZLQ9/?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3821449 Manufacturer's website: https://mightyskins.com/collections/microsoft-surface-duo

No, but I keep the bumper on. And this may be why it was included.

I have been using CloudBeats. It syncs with Onedrive so that allows me to stream when I need. As for why they didn't include something.... I can't put my finger on it but I feel like Microsoft has been on a spotify kick for...well...forever.
