No. You can't game on it meaning that the games do not even launch.

I don't think your experience is representative of a generic user. This video from Level1Techs paints a completely different picture. Gaming for example, is pretty much out of the picture in the ARM version of Windows.

Does it? All of the "windows on arm" video I've seen say that tons of things are broken.

You do realize that the ifixit solderimg iron also has firmware and that you need to connect it to a computer or their very expensive battery pack to adjust its settings, right?

I did (and do) have the families beta on. Maybe that's the way it worked for some people? I don't know, but it certainly is what happened in my case.

It actually is how it worked in the beta at least. I've been using it for several months with my friends and the invite wouldn't work unless I had logged into steam on their pc previously.

The dude hires people for programming positions and a lot of people use their GitHub as a portfolio, basically. He was saying that if you don't have that, you're basically not even considered for the job.

In summary, this specific case was about it being basically a requirement to program 24/7. Which is pretty toxic.

Then you're lacking context and have been arguing without understanding what I was referring to.

Luke at LTT works in the development side of the company (floatplane for example) and the "side projects" are public repos in github/gitlab/etc.

"easily"? Please, name one device that has UWB and doesn't include bluetooth.

Besides, if this is included in 6.0 and assuming it does cost much more per chip, where's the harm in having a better feature set? This seems like an incredibly pointless discussion.

But it's still sitting in front of a computer programming. I do that but not that often. I'm already programming 8-9 hours a day. My interests go way beyond that.

Well yeah, it hasn't been released yet. Is this your idea of a joke?

Not all phones have UWB. On the other hand, they do have Bluetooth.
