yes, but the app has to use it

does the OS use it? when I enter my WiFi password on a device, are all of my other devices automatically able to use that network when they see it? are my notifications sent to all of them? is there even a windows cloud notification backend? can I locate my devices and wipe them remotely?

all of this without any third party apps

I kinda wish normal iPhone app notifications (e.g. Snapchat) were forwarded to my Mac.

yes to all. notifications may be limited to 1st party apps (not sure) and im also not sure how are notifications resolved if your device ecosystem is larger than a win10 computer and a win10 phone

lmao, i paused onedrive sync at 60 of 80 gb, resumed it and now it says 4 of 55 while the real remaining size is not even 55-4

e: alright, the size does in fact checks out, but still, why was it underestimating by 31gb in the previous cycle

maybe if they'd worked out the crash-to-desktop issues over the past year or if i had an xbone i'd consider it

this is what they started with, it's now a year later and as far as i can tell they're still getting the hang of uwp apps

Allegedly some sort of folding phone -- like the Samsung folding phone. Except Microsoft's phone probably won't be running Android, so it'll be much better.
