I use windows 10 all the time and I can't remember the last time I used a UWP app. I even installed the old calc.exe so I could avoid the lovely uwp one (which has a god drat splash screen)

UWP appears to be a total failure.

carry on then

I use Alarms & Clock to set timers all the time.

Also, does something like Pocket Casts count? Basically a web view in an UWP container?

Edit: Oh, and Photos, of course. Way better than the old image viewer.

so sony revealed their PS5 will use Zen 2 and Navi and Microsoft responded by saying the next Xbox will be more powerful. pretty bold claim, since clock speeds and CU counts have not been officially disclosed yet. however, if the next Xbox is a cloud streaming service, they basically have license to say whatever they want about how powerful it is. just more circumstantial evidence.

also, the Xbox One All Digital still has a SATA port and eject button inside. I wonder if they are trying to move unsold hardware by tearing out parts and lowering the price. they obviously didn’t spend any R&D to make this a sleeker device.

they probably have a surplus of S hardware and just want to get rid of it all before the next hardware revision

presumably they can keep using their stockpile of drives in the new consoles

good point. also recently referenced in another thread

Sagebrush posted:

One of the key experiments in the Berkeley wealth studies was having people play a rigged game of Monopoly where one player got to roll three dice and pick two, and received $400 every time around the board instead of 200

They would inevitably win, and then in post-game surveys they'd say that they felt they just played better than the rest
