Word has the same if you save your documents in a folder backed up by OneDrive and you turn on auto save in word.

I think there’s a future where phones are all-in-one devices. When in my pocket, it’s a screen-first mobile device. When plugged into a dock, it’s a full-blown MacOS machine. I could then have “profiles” for personal and work environments.

This is exactly what Microsoft attempted with Windows Phone. It worked but didn't work. It worked just fine for application that had an adaptive UI that works just a good on the desktop as on a small touch screen. starting a desktop app on the phone was not a good experience.

Yes, Apple could have a better shot at getting this to work if the phone and laptop had the exactly same hardware and because of their appstore. But having the same hardware in both devices is not enough. They would also for need to turn the MacOS into a gigantic iPhone with a touch Screen.

They would have to recreate their own version of Windows (8) 11's vision and implement an UI that works both with mouse/keyboard and touch.

I bet they are working on this, but I suspect we are many years away before we see a MacBook with a touch screen.

yeah, endless hours spend waiting for Windows Update. It is not so bad anymore.

The only thing I can think about comparing your setup to mine is that I rarely turns off my computer. If you only use your very infrequent and turn it off when not used. I wonder if Windows is doing all kinds of maintenance jobs every time you start your computer since it is off most of the time, and then when you manually hit windows update, it gets a bit busy working out the correct state of your computer

Those jobs are on my computer distributed over days / weeks but wit you they run every time you turn on windows since it couldn't run them at their scheduled frequency since the computer was off.

I am just speculating, but maybe try to turn on windows once in a while and leave it over night, to test if this improves things.

Your installation of Windows is that by any chance the installation that came with computer? Or is it a Windows that you have upgraded from a previous version (and perhaps that was upgraded from yet another previous version)?

I never have these slow downs that I read others have. I always do a clean install from a USB stick (including deleting recovery partitions). I do this like once a year or 1 1/2 years when something is being released that is either a new version or what is we used to call a service packs.

Windows sucks at upgrading. There is always something strange going on after upgrading. Things that not happens after a clean install.

If it is looong time since you have performed a clean install, I recommend you to consider doing that.

Do you have a spinning rust disk?

Go watch the movie "Ready player one". The book has been given to all facebook employees. They want something like that.

And they will fail. I read long ago that the book "Ready Player One" was given to all FB employees and it is therefore fair to say that the metaverse is inspired by that book. Looking at Facebook today and trying to map that into a VR world will be a universe carpet bombed with advertisement and sponsored content. The universe you as a user would roam in would be like living on the canvas of a instance in Internet Explorer that has all available toolbars installed.

The Ford F-150 aims to solve that problem (and I guess other EVs will have / has similar capabilities).

With an electric motor mounted on each of its axles, the vehicle will offer more torque — in effect, faster acceleration — than any previous F-150 and will be capable of towing up to 10,000 pounds. Its battery pack can power a home for about three days during an outage, according to Ford. For contractors and other commercial truck users, the Lightning will be able to power electric saws, tools and lighting, potentially replacing or reducing the need for generators at work sites. It has up to 11 power outlets.

Yes, this tool is very confusing to use. It is hard to tell if the slider has to be red or green to disable something. I have a mix of green and red and with most of them it say recommended "yes". So is my current setting the recommended setting because it say yes or does the yes mean the recommended setting is to disable it? Is disable it then the green or the red knop? This app needs a complete UI redesign to be useful

If you get caught exceeding the speed limit with more than 100% the car you drive will be confiscated and sold on auction. The money goes to the government. This is regardless if it is your own car or not. It makes no difference if it is yours, a company owned car, borrowed, leased or rented. You loose the car.

The same goes if you drive very drunk or drive so reckless that your driving is being classified as "insane driving"

I Denmark phone books had postal address. Think this goes for many contries i think. You could even call directory inquiry and ask for someone's address and they would give it to you.

You would have loved Windows phone (and a tablet running Windows 8.1). Everything was optimized so it was close to where your fingers naturally would be. You could easily use the phone using one hand (on the devices that has similar size as an iPhone 8).

For comparison of a price of a big mac between different countries, try to look at the "Big Mac Index". The Big Mac Index basically says "How many minutes do you have to work in country X in order to be able to buy a Big Mac compared to Country Y."

Any info regarding if Safari Web Extension will work with other browsers installed on IOS? I have edge and Chrome installed and wonder if the extensions will come to those browsers also. The articles I have read does not address this aspect.

The trick to Bing is (on bing.com) to change your regional settings to the US. (Bing.com > burger menu > settings > Country/Region > United States (English))

This small change will greatly improve the quality of the search results.

The app just got updated and the groceries link has been removed and the news has returned. Thank you :)

I tried to watch the first part of the video, but have still no idea what this is about. Something with sharing files.

You mean the same people that changed the start page on the ios "news" app. Instead of showing the latest news when you launch the app, it displays a link to "Groceries" allowing you to do something related to "Groceries", and then after a ~10 second delay, it will eventually start to display some news stories [1]

It is a act of genius to change a "news" app to have "groceries" button displayed left, right and center instead of showing some "news".

I think they should add an "laundry" button. Maybe even a "garbage sorting" button so we have to a place to put this Groceries app, sorry news app.

PS: I have been using this news app on a daily basic since it was called "MSN News Beta" some many years (> 10?) ago. When I first saw the redesign with the Grocery link, my first thought was "they got a new product manager that wants to fix something that wasn't broken". Because of the grocery link I have now stopped using it, at that "feature" really really annoys me.

Just display some freaking news for crying out loud and leave the grocery shopping to another apps.

[1] What the IOS news app look like the first 10 seconds after launch. It has always displayed news at start up. Now you can do your groceries instead. https://imgur.com/a/XYvYq88

How cheap can one be? The amount of hours one must put in to get a 100K and then they can't send you a coffee mug as a simple thank you. Not impressive

That is pretty much what Windows 10 does. Okay, maybe not quickly switch to the new version as we all know that it can take 10 - 20 minutes sometimes, but here is the thing. By default it reboots and install the updates when I sleep so I don't notice this. It always puzzles me when I hear that Windows suddenly starts to install updated while you are doing something, because that is not the default. The default is to install and reboot outside of your normal working hours. Best guess is that many people turn off their computer when they don't use it. In that case it is only possible to install the updates while you use that machine.
