I thought you were suggesting we as people who hate it are the minority. That's why I asked if you read the latter part of my post where I theorize how can the subscription model be successful while everybody hates it. That does not require people to love it, most of MS's revenue comes from...

I'm talking about the fact that choosing save as doesn't bring up an actual save dialog, but a crappy modern ui page with onedrive integrated. They made it easier to reach the actual browse dialog in a recent update, but it is still just bloat that I wish would go away. I was replying to a...

I use the web client on desktop because the interface is more streamlined and it is faster than the actual outlook application. On phone I use the dedicated client, unfortunately that isn't perfect either. For some reason it doesn't always notifies about new messages, sometimes I'd get a...

Looks like a lazily re-skinned assassin's creed. I haven't seen anyone particularly excited about this game. Not surprising given the state of SW on the big and small screen. We might be looking at another suicide squad Kill the justice league level event.

I can't even begin to explain how annoying it is in office 365 that it constantly pushes onedrive. If I just want to save a document locally I have to jump through many hoops to finally get a normal save file dialog window. Even when I only want to attach something to an email it wants to upload...

The issue is that frames per second doesn't tell the whole story. Frame time consistency is the real issue. Even 30 fps can appear smooth if there are no spikes in frametime. And yes I think 60fps is enough, if it is smooth 60fps and not just an average where the actual frame times are all...

It seems to me that it is the exact opposite. There is nothing to manage with a perpetual license given to an employee.. But maintaining MS accounts for every user and keeping track of subscriptions and monthly payments gives additional work not just for IT but for accounting as well. How do...

Did you even read beyond the first sentence?

Geez, people prefer playable framerates what a revelation. You can't make up for an unplayable experience with great visuals. That's like having a car that is undriveable but at least looks good.

No, people hate it, but corporations are all for that jizz. A monthly payment of a few hundred looks much better on the cash flow chart than a single multiple thousand invoice up-front. Even if in the long run it is a really bad deal. I'm also using office 365, but not because I love it, but...

You can tell that to Ubisoft who insist this is historically accurate. I care. Not about the historical accuracy, but about not getting gaslit. I don't give a flying duck about the historical accuracy of games as long as they are being honest about it being made up. But I really don't like when...

Ubisoft and their lapdogs are the ones insisting this is historically accurate. The most insane part is that as soon as the game was revealed activists started editing the wikipedia page of Yasuke to be in line with the game. They are falsifying history in real time. It is also an insult to...

No, it didn't because it got cheaper :D OK, that's only a half truth, my mobile provider decided to scrap the plan I was on entirely. Which forced me to switch to another carrier that by coincidence happened to be my internet provider and I ended up paying much less for everything due to the...

I didn't mean interest as in what is best for you, but interests as in which types of products might interest you. There were quite a few occasions where I only learned that a product or brand even existed through ads. If I'm aware of more products I'm better equipped to make the right decision...

These types of petitions are not binding, they are just an outlet for the voices of criticism, since all other avenues are industry controlled. The official forums directly by the publishers, and the media by their lackeys, who will do anything to remain in their good graces and be invited for...

This reminds me that I still have an NH-D15 tucked away that I haven't used in 5 years. Been saving it for a rainy day I guess. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

You can't put a price on individual data points. By themselves they are worthless. But collated and cataloged usage data from millions of users with internet history or even media consumption history, that is worth a fortune, and it can be sold to multiple data brokers. The vast majority of the...

Companies tend to forget that they need to satisfy the customer before their investors. If the customers go away the investors will be equally unhappy. And the reluctance to upgrade to win 11 despite of it being "free" is clear indication of their clientele evaporating. Just because they want...

I've had a BD burner for roughly 15 years and didn't burn a single disc with it. 25GB or even DL 50GB was not much even by 2010 standards, especially considering that a blank disc was what €15-20? Writeable CDs on the other hand bottomed out at 30 cents if I recall correctly. But even at that...

That's the gaslighting the companies would use. Nobody wants to individually opt in to copy every single file during installation, that's a strawman. Opt in was the normal up to Windows 7, instead of jumping through hoops to opt out if you even can opt out. Yet Windows 7 didn't cost $1000.
