this is v. stupid, as the total net result for microsoft has to be that they are rather insulting the fairly competent onenote team

i can't imagine they are onboarding a single user worth having, or anything of the sort

Adding TODO items to your .org files is called capturing.

You can capture from everywhere, both within Emacs and from other applications like your web browser, pdf viewer, etc.

"so I just read my email / jira / slack / whatever, select an item, hit a key combination, and it gets turned automatically into a todo?"

"totally, yeah! might require some minimal configuration and tweaking though..."

the big question is how much will third parties actually want to invest in making their stuff look good on a system that will be a tiny fraction of the 1/4 or less that the ms currently has in the console market when they still have to optimize it for the normal xbone of which there are 20x the number of systems in the wild?

even if there's no optimization whatsoever, "scorpio" will still be a big upgrade

lots of xbone games get like 20 fps

they could just upsample too, isnt that what the quadruple pro does

edit: or just run it at the native resolution, a bunch of games run at 540p or whatever. maybe that debacle was 360 only though

On PS4 Pro, and it seems likely on the next Xbox as well, a game has to be explicitly patched to benefit significantly. For games without this benefit it's possible to run them in "boost mode", which doesn't actually override any of the game's programming or hard limits, but for situations where things like dynamic resolution are employed or frame rate drops are a thing, these are dealt with, so a game on PS4 which would shift its resolution between 900p and 1080p depending on the on-screen activity will basically stay at 1080p fully now, and games which would run between 20 and 30 fps would basically stay at 30fps. But a game which was hard-coded to run at 900p all the time would still only run at 900p.

afaik, Microsoft has claimed that Xbox One games require zero modification to look and run better on a Project Scorpio

but I have paid zero attention to this and they're probably lying anyway

it is theoretically possible though, assuming they designed the API correctly and wrote and enforced the TCRs for it

Apparently they may be able to force 16x AF but that's as far as it'll likely go other than what I said, no magical 4K-ness without a game getting a patch.

The problem with console games is that they're essentially programmed explicitly to work on only one type of hardware (or close to that, at least) and really weird things happen if you go outside of those restrictions, and this goes back to the NES, like some games relied on laggy sections to load upcoming content and if you bypass the lag you can cross a point before assets are loaded and cause a softlock if the game doesn't have a fallback programmed in, and you have games where physics are explicitly tied to the framerate cap (a lot of games with 30fps caps on PC are because of this and like Dark Souls 1 gets hosed-up collision detection if you go past 30fps so you can fall through ladders and poo poo like that), and a few PC games with 60fps framerate caps don't like running at the 144 Hz G-Sync.

I would guess that lots of games that are designed to be cross platform would probably have no problem having their configs altered to adjust resolution, refresh rate, post processing, etc... like the goal of engines like unity or unreal is to make cross platform deployment easy. The problem would be for console first games like dork souls where the developers never considered other platforms.

Something like Arkham Knight you could just alter some ini files and blammo now you have better quality effects, shadows, post processing, higher display resolution, etc... The biggest problem would be texture quality since new textures would require a content patch.
