Microsoft sees the world has moved on, cranks OneDrive file size upload limit from 15GB to more useful 100GB

Anyone want to bet it comes back down to 15Gb before year is over or just after the new year?

Mayday! Mayday! The next Windows 10 update is finally on approach to a PC near you

I wonder how long it's gonna take for MS to run out of ideas for W10 looks and they license Hello Kitty for one.

Microsoft is cute.

In case you need more proof the world's gone mad: Behold, Apple's $699 Mac Pro wheels

Now that the idea is out...

There'll probably be something like them, just as well made and last longer for sale on ebay soon now. LOL

Linux fans thrown a bone in one Windows 10 build while Peppa Pig may fly if another is ready in time for this year

...

It looks to me like a Microsoft is putting Linux paint-job on their RAM-hog slowfiletransfer namelenthissued Windows Bloatosaurus OS.

If Microsoft still isn't making it work better I'm not interested.

It would be interesting to find out how it ran if MS released Windows10 using a Unixy type kernal. I don't think Redmond would ever go that far. They can't do it.

Forget about those pesky closures, Windows 10 has an important message for you

Bloatosaurus OS

I was just sitting here remembering how Microsoft Windows Bloatosaurus OS got when it was Vista.

The toilet paper and ramen Apocalypse...

Well isn't this just dandy. We know the score though. Politicians will do what we know politicians do. Meanwhile we will just have to deal with this situation the best we know how. When the brown smelly stuff hits the the speedy circular rotating thing it always comes down to us being on our own. Gov doesn't ever really save us.

That said, if nothing else, we can go watch our, now panicked, neighbors wiping out toilet paper and ramen stock from the super market shelves.

I hope no one here has run out of toilet paper (I truly and sincerely mean that)

Maybe I should just shorten the title to Toilet Paper Apocalypse.

May Christ and God be with you all.

Microsoft's Cortana turns its back on consumers as skills are stripped from Windows 10

Moving options/software, one at a time, over to the other side of the Microsoft paywall to become part of their subscription pay-to-use options/software is a known and has been so for some time now.

Famed Apple analyst chances his Arm-based Macs that Apple kit will land next year

I've said the same for some time now sooo....IMHO...

I believe the Desktop style interface to iOS with full monitor resolution support is already in development past the halfway point for release now.

All Apple's Macs for home end users will be shipping with iOS & Arm.

$10,000 Mac Pro work stations will continue to exist for enterprise only customers. (I believe it's already established that this gear is intended only for commercial use now by it's pricing)

The Apple/Mac OS for x86 systems will be continue on but reduced to maintenance level support with security updates and occasional CG commercial industry needed changes only once the Arm systems start shipping.

Also. Considering China is imploding and supply chains to everything are in question right now. An early switch to Arm might be needed sooner than planned. Not sure how all the rest of logic board components will be acquired though...considering China's current issues...

Whoa, France. Take it easy. Wow. You're out of control. Fining Apple 55 minutes of revenue for secretly slowing down iPhones? Maniaques!

Actually batteries are user replaceable. It's just that it comes with a whole new phone wrapped around it....It's called a Samsung phone....

It's the end of the 20-teens, and your Windows PC can still be pwned by nothing more than a simple bad font

More lipstick on the old OS

That font vulnerability is a bit last decade but Ok.

To bad they are not giving us a new OS for the 21st century.

If Microsoft can't then they can't. It's OK. I understand.

Samsung Galaxy S11 tipped to escalate the phone cam arms race with 108MP sensor

Finally

When pro gear for football games got to 20mp I got all hot and bothered over 15yrs ago. Since chip tech loves Moore's law I figured image chips would get to, not just film resolution, but film surface size to get enough color and resolution density to surpass film shortly thereafter. I sold a huge load of Nikon and Canon gear so I wouldn't get caught with all my money tied up in old tech. Then image chip tech stagnated. It never got fully beyond film level resolution to print. The only saving grace was I still didn't need film anymore and film got to be to expensive to use.

So fast forward 15+ yrs to today. FINALLY a fscking image sensor that is a bit larger and one that hits triple digits in megapixels for consumer level use. Sheeeeeiiiiiit that took it's time.

Oh chute. Two out of three ain't bad, right? asks Boeing after soft-ish crew module landing

Re: Quality Control

Time to watch a few repair videos on iPhones. Seriously. What is inside is not what you would have been lead to believe. It's got rather pedestrian components in there. Sometimes not even up to the grade of other manufactures. I guess it's one of those things that, until you've seen it yourself, you can't believe it.

Since Microsoft now has to resort to using someone else's software for a browser because they can't make their own, they should do the same with the Windows OS.

'Evolution of the PC ecosystem'? Microsoft's 'modern' OS reminds us of the Windows RT days

Why Qualcomm won – and why Tim Cook had to eat humble Apple pie

Blue Bloods and 5G

Why 5G? Same reason you can't concentrate when there's a jackhammer outside being used to break up concrete. Your brain/mind is also electric by nature. Create enough electronic noise in the world around you and your spirit and mental connection with God gets weakened and drowned out more. If you've ever felt that connection you will feel it and know it less immersed in a 5G environment. Blue Bloods that run things in this world actually believe 5G does that and so goes their race to promote it when when many tech people can't see a strong enough reason why we needed it.

iOS 13 leaks suggest Apple is finally about to unleash the iPad as a computer for grownups

Stick a fork in mac...

This just sounds like the re-emergence of the iPad as a computer substitute again. Apple seems intent on sticking to going in that direction. With this, putting any $ or personal time investment in anything further of the mac line is a waste at this point. Even moving to a hackentosh is a waste now because that OS is on the outs. Even if Apple says otherwise this reveal about iOS says otherwise. (just my two cents)

It's alive! Hands on with Microsoft's Chromium Edge browser
