If Microsoft actually comes through and makes a PC that can also run the full Xbox library of games (which I honestly doubt, sorry) it'll be one of the coolest platforms to mess with in a long time. Let's see if dreams come true.

I love how 99% of the things Microsoft shows you these days gets rolled out a year after announcement but something unusual like this got rolled out a week before the announcement dropped. Peak communication skills.

I really hope that the PMs at Microsoft take notes when they see posts like this & the general sentiment in the replies because the absolute QA shit show they enabled in the past couple updates is inexcusable.

I'm so sad. 8 months ago, Monster Biscuit was adopted. Today, he was returned for no fault of his own. He lived in a home for 8 months and now he's in a kennel, terrified, confused. I'm devastated. He needs a new home ASAP. Can you help? 💔 📍 SF Bay Area

I can’t believe Apple is withholding iOS 18.7.1 IPSWs for devices that also support iOS 26. Let me downgrade from this travesty you cowards.

Just like with the task bar, we're going back to pre-11 design concepts and pretending that it's something miraculous and innovative. Give me a break and just own up to redesigning it badly 4 years ago.

Does anyone know a decent mail client for Android that's not Gmail (don't want to add more Google accounts to Android's system account manager) nor Outlook (the ads are pathetic)?

Any chance some MSFTies who worked on early Windows 8 follow me? Me & my friend are looking into acronyms(?) used for hiding the very first WinRT/Store apps and I'd love if someone could shed a bit of light on them. Some survive as event log namespaces to this day! (PDF reader)

The "fun" part of having a big boy business metal unibody laptop and a milanese loop watchband is that I inadvertently magnetize myself to the laptop at least once an hour while typing into the IDE. Truly the peak of UX.

I'm wishing peeps that are moving on from Insider Program related positions all the best but I can't help but wonder if the program isn't being sunset or at least majorly reduced in some fashion. No Brandon, no Amanda, and now Jason's gone too. 🫡

Really in touch with your user base there, Pavan. The replies are incredible. The shareholders are putting monetary wool over your eyes, demanding MS product slopification, all while calling you from Zoom on an iPad for all you know. They don't use the travesty, they don't care.

Bait used to be believable Anyway, go watch the PS4 talk from 33c3 and learn that it has no standard PIT, PIC, or serial console youtu.be/QMiubC6LdTA?t=…

I feel like the new Start menu began rolling out like 4 times in the past month. Will this update finally stop people from complaining about lacking features that others have been enjoying for weeks?

That's a lot of words just to say that one method of MAS, one that isn't even all that commonly used, was patched. This doesn't affect most MAS users at all. I really wish articles like these would be written by someone with a deeper understanding of the topic.
