ads pay for everything you enjoy "for free"

the only difference between this and television/radio/print is that we now have the ability to measure down to the minute whether or not an ad which uses "hoagie" or "sub" sells better across any demographic or geographic area

yeah makes sense since you don't pay for video cards

OH WAIT

idgi I thought that was just PDF stuff, like I see that all the time when printing to a redirected printer on a terminal server or smth. usually it's completely garbage instead of just off here and there tho

Just like anything luxury that you buy, like great handbags or a pair of shoes or even expensive cars, there is a care that’s needed for the device. And so from the materials perspective, we will ask customers — specifically customers who might stain it or drop something on it — to go ahead and wipe that right away. There’s a simple way of doing that with a microfiber with a soap and water solution on it. You don’t need any special chemical and you can wipe it off. Then just care [for it in the same way] that would go into anything that luxurious. That’s more of a periodical thing, not super frequent, something you might look at doing every six months or something. And so if you think of the livelihood of this laptop, somewhere between four and five years, it’s not that often you have to do it in terms of taking care of it.

isn't this aimed at the education market

do kids take care of anything, including things they actually own

only for apps that come pre-installed, like xbox. ones that you install later show up in the start menu but searches can't find them

sounds like your search is hosed up

on this note, i have creators update on my machine at work & it forgot the priority for poo poo so if i search for "calc" and hit enter it opens up a bing search for calc again



your holding it wrong
e. not on creators update so maybe they hosed it up there? idk

I like how they ignore their huge forevermarket of business users and instead aim for the consumer market, but two years ago, and in doing so gently caress up their business products so much their users actually start matching out how much it will cost to move away

the latest office patch breaks attachments in rtf emails if the filename ends in punctuation

which would probably be minimal impact for normal people but our lob app only sends emails in rtf so guess what

the two things I really miss from 10 when I go back to 7 are the improvements to cmd.exe copy and paste and the right click context menu for the start menu. but in some recent update they took the real control panel out of the start right click menu which is bullshit. also if you pin apps to the start menu it creates a live tile and no matter how many you have it creates like a 4 tile wide dead space with one tile in it. lamo
