    Xbox President Confirms Microsoft’s Commitment to Continue Developing Gaming Hardware and Sets the Record Straight Regarding ASUS ROG Ally Pricing

    I think that's a great idea. I don't think that would help Microsoft out. Microsoft's issues are much deeper than just hardware.

    Head units and UI experience.

    Pretty sure it exists and it's called CarPlay (or Android Auto if you live on the other side of the fence). Just no auto maker wants to give it their UI entirely.

    Windows 11 Continues to Get More Bugs Following the Decomissioning of Windows 10

    Explains how they churn out so much crap. I logged into the 365 Online portal for the first time in a long time the other day and the amount of random crapware that exists there is astonishing. And then, just now, I think -- oh a screen shot of that would be perfect for this post! I go there...

    Windows 11 Continues to Get More Bugs Following the Decomissioning of Windows 10

    Par for the course. Wasn't really any different when it was just called Win10 though. Or Win8. Don't recall Win7 being this bad, but it's been a while since they actively did anything for that and I may have had a few beers since then.

    Edifier Huazai Cyber Is a Bluetooth Speaker That Looks like a Mini PC

    I dunno about the speakers in the article - other than they look interesting. But I have a set of Edifier desktop monitor speakers - and they sound pretty pretty good for the size and the cost.

    Intel Is Expected to Share Details About Panther Lake This Week, as Rumored Specs About the First 18A Node SKUs Grow

    Seems like if we learned anything from Prescott to Core it was — focus on efficiency, then scale that up for speed/power.

    New 12V-2×6 Device Featuring Load Balancing Technology Could Be the Cure-All for 16-Pin Connector Meltdowns

    The answer there isn’t to boycott the Aquacool device. If anything we should all be supporting them for finding a need and providing that with a well designed product To achieve what you are after - you need to boycott the root of the problem: nVidia. And no one is talking about doing that...

    Intel Arc News Roundup: New Driver, Legacy Driver Branching Has Begun, Multiframe Generation Technology Could Be on the Horizon for XeSS, and More

    You aren’t wrong. But every time I get around to thinking “Hmm maybe it’s time I got the kid a new card and Intel is right in the strike zone” something pops up that makes me think Arc is probably walking the line. I guess the fact that it still exists with Intel in the state it’s in does speak...

    EA Confirms $55 Billion Buyout Deal, and According to a Report, the New Owners Are Banking on AI to Reduce Operating Costs

    Should, but it's not. I lost around 8 weeks when our company did this a couple of years ago. I didn't complain too loudly though - they compensate me well enough via other means.

    NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Series Might Debut at CES 26, Launch Between March-May, and Has Been Spotted on the Seasonic Website

    I do not disagree with you, I think we are talking about the same thing - but I think that statement right there is exactly what I'm trying to describe. Why upgrade unless it serves a purpose?
