that's because if your mac can run the latest OS X you'd never go back because it's a good OS


whereas a significant portion of the Windows user base does not want 8/8.1/10 because it is in fact a pos os

Windows 7 was great and basically the best windows. To bad it was only around for like a couple of years while we were stuck with XP for 11

7 -> 8.1 -> 10 is the logical upgrade path and using anything else except for compatibility reasons is stupid.

welp, I'm now getting notifications on Windows 10 of random "people" adding me as a contact. this is despite the fact I have never once configured or used the windows 10 skype app. I had to go into it to tell it to stop notifying me. to get to the the setting to change the notifications in their app you get redirected to a webpage.

thanks MS :thumbsup:

wait did MS update everyone's lock screen to advertise some beatles poo poo on their store?

i just setup a windows 10 shitbox laptop for someone recently and noticed it had some weird online theme thingy in the settings. good grief if they're pushing that poo poo on everyone.

it probably happens if you use that bing of the day image whatever instead of your own image, the beetles promo just happens to be in the queue if you didn't customize

That's a heat pipe, not a blinged-out water pump and fridge unit or something. Even game consoles and convertible laptops have those now.

weird u can't see why it's normal for a laptop or game console to have one and rly dumb that a phone needs one

also bet that heatpipe isn't enough to stop the 810 from violently throttling after 5 minutes under load still

Game consoles are expected to last more than two years and a drop is a roll of the dice for a phone anyway.
