you're supposed to be using Windows 10 applications from the Windows Store by Microsoft, they can handle random restarts

also, regular applications that people actually use have been able to register to be restarted when the system reboots since Vista, naturally nobody does this because it requires additional effort and everybody already hates and blames Microsoft

incidentally, thurrott is going through an amusing saga rn because he bought adobe photoshop elements from the windows store for a win10s device and it crashes on boot, and because it's win10s there's basically nothing he can do to try and fix it

he even did a full reinstall of the laptop and it still crashes on launch

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
Speaking of Ms breaking updates, I tell my Mac to update overnight and when I get on next it says update failed and 100% of thr time it's due to some poo poo Microsoft application that refused to quit

the keyboard is low profile trash, but atleast it has a proper layout. the mouse is probably ok but way overpriced.

I prefer low profile keys like on laptops. the modern keyboard looks good to me but it doesn't need wireless or fingerprint bullshit.
$50 for the wired Apple keyboard was already overpriced and the Microsoft thing is $130.

Microsoft seems to think if they copy the Apple thing where the stuff is more expensive and worse than everyone else's thing it will sell better.
