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.

yeah this, they're in literally every laptop and are incredibly reliable. it is pretty funny that a drat phone needs one though.

can they legally call that liquid cooling? i mean no one else ever calls that liquid cooling.

regardless of the legality it's just one more way microsoft strives to insult the intelligence of it's last remaining users. like no one can be a microsoft fan for too long or past a certain age in my opinion, before you get fatigued by the bullshit and quit.

that is of course unless you're already a stuck-up contrarian who admires microsoft for telling Platonian "noble lies" to maintain the status quo, cough cough

what kind of rear end in a top hat approved this stupid poo poo?

wait, let me guess, there is a mandate that all first party apps in the store have a certain rating level and nobody is going to rate the calculator unless it is bad, so a middle manager on the calculator team made the call to boost his app stats. the fact that they let it ship like this means at the very least nobody at the top is paying attention, and more likely they actually approve of this idiotic idea.

could it be that it's the 'alternatives' that made microsoft this way today?

like if they didn't have any pressure from the mobile/tablet market then they'd probably just stuck with the w7 ui forever without going down the road w8 lead them

ive had literally no problems with w10. the autists of YOSPOS seek out pain and inflict it upon themselves. as a low IQ normie who started reading at the old age of first grade (not pre-kinder, devouring novels at age 3) i have experienced none of the "fail" of win10. and instead bask in its epic features, UI, and software library.
