Thanks Ants posted:its ms so it would be a surface speaker that only worked with the surface despite being bluetooth, have a 6 hour battery life, sound like poo poo and cost $300. and come with one unique feature that nobody asked for or used like being able to act as a microphone only for the surface. do you even synergize?

Mr Dog posted:at this point i'm surprised that they haven't just thrown in the towel and shipped a WebKit based browser with Windows 10, deprecating IE they already have people on staff who can (demonstrably) do it well ie 10 doesn't suck Mr Dog posted:but on balance it's kind of a good thing. WebKit running on 90% of all browsers isn't a significantly better situation than Trident running on 90% of browsers. it's still a situation where the de-facto specification is 400,000 lines of C++ as opposed to an actual spec (see also that one time where some people tried to make SQLite part of HTML 5) there are dozens of flavors of webkit/khtml now. all subtly different. this is probably not a win. at least in the crap-tastic ie6 days you could count on literally everyone having the exact same build of ie6. if you catered very carefully to ie6, you got a consistent experience for 90%+ of users now, if you cater too carefully to your preferred webkit implementations (google chrome, android, safari/ios, safari/osx ?) you end up with something that doesn't work on an older version, or has unexpected visual bugs on an alternative webkit implementation ( kde, chrome/ios, an old version of safari, chrome/osx)

MS bluetooth speaker would actually be a proprietary wifi direct implementation (to prevent 3rd parties from making filthy lucre off the speaker with out paying a separate royalty) that required a separate bluetooth adapter that would risk bricking the firmware of both the speaker and the adapter. It would support half the dlna spec and only be able to make content available on your network, and not actually play back any networked audio on the speaker itself but it would have face plates, which nobody would want these are variations on actual ms hardware dept decisions for anyone not obsessively following the xbox

there would also be an olive drab green camo version of the speaker called the 'military honor and pride' version that does not even pay the slightest sliver of the proceeds back to a 'support are troops' foundation because, well nobody knows why but war sure is cool

microsoft has created a somewhat impressive series of options to test sites in IE without Windows you can take a screenshot, use a free Azure instance of Windows or download and run a free VM trouble is you will probably go through all these options before arriving at the one that actually works, the last one. the screenshot sounds OK as long as you don't need to test hovers, javascript or literally anything after the page just loads. but it doesn't work with local stuff. so you have to put the stuff into production before testing in IE (haha that's what most of us do anyways right). there's a link to actually install the screenshot app on your local machine, though. it links to a github and after installing with npm, though, it turns out it just does a disgnotics test and there's no screenshots at all. the next one, the windows instance on azure is somewhat neat. you just download Microsoft Remote Desktop (AKA Windows Technical Preview via Remote IE, powered by Azure RemoteApp, literally they call it that) and sign in with a free MS account. then you get access to just one app, and it opens any other window on your Mac. except it's just IE 11 and again you can only access live websites, not your local development environment. the only solution to actually test IE8, 9 and 10 (~1, 2 and , 2.5% market share respectively) like your stupid company requires is to download the enormous virtual machine images, one each for each version of IE, and install and boot them up in whatever VM software you hate least. also there is some obscure compression software they use to package the downloads for some reason and you can only open them via command line iirc. it's amazing they put so much effort into providing all these options while not understanding how and what people want to test. internet explorer has irrevocably damaged MS's reputation for every web developer and even more so once they spend 2 hours trying all these dumb testing options kill desktop IE now and just make Xbox and Win Phone IE. put bing in the MS version of Firefox and ship that. bye.

Thanks Ants posted:has anyone ever done the right click > play to xbox 360 thing that was definitely touted as a feature when it launched? that and the xbox being a media center extender. The Play To thing was introduced with Windows 8 (that's the second Xbox Video-based DLNA MediaRenderer). It's had a DLNA MediaServer client for much longer than that, designed to play files shared from your Windows Media Player library on your PC. It actually works fine.

Wired posted:Microsoft May Soon Replace Internet Explorer gasp called it quote:With a New Web Browser gently caress. OK, it will look and feel like both Firefox and Chrome at the same time? and be lightweight instead of reserving all RAM for itself? they're just name-dropping and muttering buzzwords. quote:There was a time when it handled about over 90 percent of all web traffic on desktop and laptop machines, but according to research outfit Net Applications, its share has now dropped to 58 percent. On mobile, its share is about 2 percent. 58% is a really optimistic number and the 3 other research groups say it's between 15-20%, and have arguably better methods. the traffic on the last major site (200 million+ sessions) was about 8% IE, and it was targeting mostly PC users since it was a gaming site lol. 58% is a fantasy. quote:Windows 10 is designed to run across a wide range of devices, and according to Foley, the new browser will be available on phones and tablets as well as laptops and desktops. It’s unclear whether Spartan will run on Android, Apple’s iOS, and other operating systems that compete with Windows, but Foley says there’s a chance it will. Under new CEO Satya Nadella, the company realizes that, in the modern world, its software must run on more than just Windows. wow a browser for both laptops and desktops finally. and tablets and phones, oh golly. i wonder if this is a way of saying it'll be on iPhone in the way chrome is, and maybe mac too. but before i get excited that maybe i can test on IE stuff on Mac, no, you can't. cause this doesn't undo IE 6 through 10 which will always be there loving things up. if they build automatic updates into this then in 5 years when IE is completely dead, it will be a job well done. their whole policy of "let the user decide if they should update or not" held back internet innovation (and really fancy designs) for everyone. but even without MS blessing, IE is being scrubbed from the net. but this is going to flop so hard.
