Microsoft is effectively giving their cloud for free. Every customer gets 100-200K free credits. Is that legal? not sure. Is it working? sadly yes. Perhaps Amazon could be more liberal with its credits? or reduce prices a bit?

just phishing email. All those requirements like encyption-in-transit/rest, rotating passwords, anti-virus on servers... all mean jack. just email...

Drivers work perfectly. No need to install anything (unlike Windows..). Even Nvidia drivers are downloaded automatically. Last time I had driver problems was in kernel 2.6 .

Screenrant, not sure this marketing investment will pay off for you..

Cheaper than the one that wanted to open a museum...

Microsoft not willing to spend on innocent-looking polls on slash anymore?

The new lense design could be huge. The existing Farnell lenses have distortions lines and light rays. These might have none. The headstrap is along the lines of Quest 2 aftermarket straps - with forehead support. nice touch. Last but not least - looks like they added 2 cameras in the straps looking down at your arms. This will really help hand tracking as Quest 2 constantly looses your hand if you drop them too low/to your sides.

Look at the portfolio of these VCs - note-taking apps, crypto ponzi schemes, NFT douchbeggery... Once a decade they strike gold betting on a Unicorn like Stripe, but they are called unicorns for a reason... These are just money-bros talking out of their arse

From thhe statement "the 2023 showcase will bring the community ... together in an all-new format and interactive experience", I'm guessing they are developing said format/experience for 2023, but it could be they wanted to use it this year as well and simply did not get it ready in time.

Such amazing contributors. First they invent the USB flash drive that saves billions of trees, Then they invent the solar panel to cut coal emissions, Now they will commit code to Bitcoin!!!

it shall be known..

Maybe this would help.

If you search for "Microsoft Wave Loop" all results are articles titled "Microsoft launches Google wave" or "Microsoft brings back Google Wave". Is that a coincidence? un-inspired writers? Or is Microsoft pulling a PR stunt that is being propogated through their network of lackeys (i.e Slashdot)

Why spend so much time developing a lobotomized device?

It has problems. tons of them. But whenever you google for a solution, where in Linux you'd get deep technical how-tos, With the Mac community you get low-quality, mom-n-pop shallow suggestions ("try turning it on and off")
