the xbonex has a non-replaceable 1TB drive, and iirc ~20% of it is used out of the box

you can replace the bone x hard drive but it voids your warranty. its not like the 360 where it was physically locked to certain drives running special firmware only.

i think some dudes put 1TB SSDs in theirs but it makes no difference in loading times because the read rate is software limited lmao

oh boy just what explorer needs, another million lines of buggy code to hack in a feature. cant wait to open a tab and have it show "hold on a sec...." in the window while the green bar moves across the screen because apparently getting the directory contents of the Downloads folder takes 5 loving minutes


maybe theyll get the start menu to open within the first 5-6 clicks with this release, also

id argue that this is the best windows innovation since snapping but you just know microsoft is going to gently caress it up which i think they already said they were going to by allowing random programs to occupy a set rather than the obvious thing of just having each program by default spawn all its windows in a single container like a natural human being would want

its bizarre how they simply cannot figure out what a normal would want to do its like poo poo just watch literally anyone in a workplace work for like five minutes and its obvious what ui changes they need

sets make more sense than tabbing up everything for each program. for example lets say I have some instances of visual studio open and then several edge tabs with reference docs. I don't want the visual studio tabs grouped together because theres no point, but I'd love to have each vs instance in a set with its associated reference docs.

No. Reference docs go on monitor A, VS goes on monitor B. This is the only proper way to code.

nah, it is either worse or better (i personally suspect the latter to be true) than that, it is a broad os feature where you can put disparate apps into a single tabbed "app", to gather work that involves all of them into a single thing
