i dunno

i replaced windows 10 with opensuse on that lenovo i originally used on win 10 launch day, and now it doesn't feel like its going to melt into a puddle and the touchpad is back to somewhat usable rather than mostly unusable

windows 10 is literally worse than a linux

god imagine having to use a thinkpad. which is already torture. and then installing loving opensuse on it

Try using a thinkpad in a dock where every other reboot the keyboard and mouse do not work.

adblock plus has had "acceptable ads" for several years now. they've been taking money from advertisers for just slightly less time than that

i don't know why people are only noticing this now, or why anyone cares

there is a highly visible checkbox that says "gently caress your acceptable ads block everything" and it does what it says

quote:

Microsoft's Xbox chief Phil Spencer acknowledged a major annoyance that's plagued the Xbox One game console since launch. Responding to The Verge's Tom Warren today on Twitter, Spencer said the Xbox One needs to be able to separate the Xbox Live online gaming network from the rest of the device's media features.

Because the Xbox One's online feature set is tied to the Xbox Live network, the not-so-uncommon Xbox Live outage brings the entire console offline. That means that while you may be able to stream Netflix on your phone or laptop, your Xbox One has to wait for Microsoft to bring the Live system — mostly designed to let you play online multiplayer games — back online before the console can be used to stream video or surf YouTube. It's not an ideal situation for owners of the Xbox One who use the console as the entertainment hub of their living room.

quote:

@tomwarren I think you are right. The dependencies between the services needs to be minimized.
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) October 1, 2015
While Spencer didn't elaborate on any concrete fixes, his transparent response shows Microsoft is aware of the problem and may address it down the line.
I guess the verge's advertorial contract with microsoft specifies use of terms like "transparent"
