Apple's case was by judge, Google's case was by jury. I guess judges and juries can have wildly different views on cases.

Looks Microsoft removed GetPhpinfo.php yesterday https://github.com/microsoftgr...

My mother still loves her Windows Phone 950XL, I've given her new Android phones and an iPhone, she's tried those for up to a week then panics and needs her Windows Phone back. It's a constant technical task of mine keeping the hardware going.

Windows NT is not one version

Windows NT 3.1 - Very promising, but a bit rough
Windows NT 3.51 - Excellent, best version ever
Windows NT 4.0 - they killed it, never recovered, moved the User Interface layer into the kernel so they could beat Mac in Bytes magazine benchmarks after Billg complained about it. Also added the look and feel of Windows 95.

I don't really care that it has a DVD drive, I've been buying games online for my Xbox 360 for a long time now. I can't give up my Xbox 360 for a new console though because the new console doesn't have a Kinect, and just about every game my family plays on the 360 requires the Kinect. Up to 4 people can jump around or whatever in front of it and play a game together. It's great for fitness and family bonding. There isn't anything else that that fills this hole.

Friend of mine of mine has a Samsung A20s, he's only ever had Android phones. He rang me up in a panic the other day saying his phone had been hacked. Turned out it was just doing an update. Something he had never seen before. My iPhone seems to get updates continuously.

I'm not catching your drift. The Meta Quest Pro is running Android on a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ with 12GB DDR5 RAM. Could you please expand a bit on your comment to clarify your point.

This makes sense, the OS on the Quest is Android based, and 4 years is a very long period of support for Android OS. Something to keep in mind if you are thinking about splashing out on a Quest Pro.

Hahaha, suck it up all you Java bitches who a few years ago said that C++ would die and be replaced by Java.

Nobody in a Ponzi scheme wants the fund to go bankrupt before they cash out. B Riley want the fund to "trade out", a laughable term in this instance. That normally means you keep on manufacturing widgets and selling them at a profit so as you can pay off your debt. In this instance they just want other suckers to pay more for their magic unicorn coin than what they paid for it. Everyone holding is going to lose big money, that's the only future I see for this.

In my experience, C# has memory leaks.

It's a design fault of the language, events hold strong references to the listeners. I use the weak event managers for hooking up all my events to the handlers so as to avoid this issue. I prefer message buses to events anyway. These days there are .NET message buses like MediatR with weak subscribers, and the C# Rx framework has supported weak subscribers since its inception over a decade ago.

Yeah you got me, I'm making shit up without actually looking into how these things really work. But wouldn't the operating system have a low power mode for running things like Fortnite, which sets the fan to be low speed and then clocks down the CPU when it gets too hot, and a high power mode for running Chrome or Microsoft Office which ramps up the fan control and clocks up the CPU? So in that way the fan speed would depend on load.

The CPU fan speed is software controlled, you can adjust it using a desktop utility, same with the CPU clock speed. This control software monitors the required compute load, and the CPU temperature, and adjusts the fan speed and clock speed to maintain 95C. The driver for this takes into account the exact CPU model, and the motherboard controller which ideally is 4 pin PWM. What's happening in your reality?

listen to your CPU fan screaming because CPU is rapidly boosting to 95 degrees

You make some good points, but I'm wondering if you could point me to something that measures the fan noise of the latest generation vs earlier generations. I haven't found anything with a quick search. From reading about the 95C temperature of the CPU it seems this is by design, and the fan only spins up when the power use pushes the temperature above this. The temperature is meant to be the new limiting factor for performance, the clock speed can go very high with the latest chips, approaching 8GHz, and the power draw is low enough that it isn't an issue, the heat is the limiting factor here, and the CPU was designed with a very high normal running temperature of 95C. In theory there shouldn't be more fan noise with this latest generation.

Microsoft can't drop DirectX9 anytime soon, not at least without rewriting their main C# GUI component library first (C# Windows Presentation Foundation). WPF is based in DirectX9 which you can confirm by looking at the WPF source code here. Microsoft have recently introduced a new component library call WinUI3, but it's going to be a long journey before WinUI3 knocks WPF off the throne.
