Xbox is in no way a success. it is a huge financial failure and Microsoft spent years of creative accounting trying to hide the losses. the entire Steve Ballmer era at Microsoft has been one gigantic rolling disaster, propped up by windows and office being endless money fountains. the new guy seems to be doing much better in at least not loving up as much as ballmer did. I bet we will never see another real Xbox.

This is said to be due to users going through the set-up process of the phone without first inserting their AT&T SIM card, which sellers are saying should not be done

I wonder what the sell in was.

arse technical reviewed the essential (lol as if) phone and 360° camera: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/essential-phone-review-impressive-for-anew-company-but-not-competitive/quote:Don't let the tiny size of Essential's camera fool you into thinking it's just a pair of lenses and sensors. The device has its own on-board SoC, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625, which is used as a "real-time stitching engine" connecting the two camera feeds. The SoC gets so hot that there is actually a spinning fan in the camera module. The fan emits high-pitched whirring noises that you can hear in a quiet room, and the phone and camera get pretty hot when the 360 action starts.

There are also two accessories that Essential claims will come soon: a "dock" that's a flat pad, which connects to the pogo pins for charging, and (not a joke) a "high end audio accessory" with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
