I still can’t get windows 10 to stop turning down the brightness on my screen or keep my ssh sessions open if I undock with a closed lid though, and this is on two different laptops.
As for use outside of an enterprise setup, I really dislike how it auto installs installers for free2play Facebook styled games. I don’t want my operation system to do anything remotely like that.
All you have to do to get it to stop automatically installing random games without your permission is set a DWORD to 0 in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager\SilentInstalledAppsEnabled.
And people say that Linux is the OS that requires bizarre incantations to do basic things.
Well lucky you. It clearly happens to a lot of people's Windows 10 Pro copies as evidenced by all the people complaining about it. It certainly happened to mine, on multiple computers, until I made the registry edit. Did you disable the Windows Store entirely or something? I've gotten my copy of W10 Pro to behaving in a semi-sane way but it took an obnoxious number of group policy edits, registry edits, and random obscure powershell commands to get that way.
Do your W10 Pro copies also include a way to disable Bing in the start menu search bar without multiple registry edits? I would love that. It was by far the most obnoxious change in the 1803 update.
Do you mean, I essentially, that Apple refusing to make a touch enabled notebook style computer shows how out of touch Apple is? Or something else, like not developing a better keyboard?
As Apple tells it, they do not foresee merging MacOS and iOS, as the user interface is to different.
Microsoft is more willing to ship products with bad UX, and power through based on their market position, and willingness to stick with it until they get it right.
I cannot see Apple, as it is, releasing something like Windows 8.
The other thing is that iOS is the money maker. Even if iPad doesn’t sell as much as it might, it supports the critical mass of the iOS ecosystem, which is a vulnerability for Apple, due to much smaller market share.
>>>.The iPad pro keyboard cover is a great example of how out of touch apple is.
FTFY. The first time a colleague requested an iPad pro with a keyboard and got it, I was blown away by how much origami apple expects you to do to properly use it.
I haven't used the keyboard cover but just the basic Smart Cover, I constantly feel like I must be using it wrong. A lot of times, I am using it wrong unknowingly and after a minute or two the whole thing collapses.
Not to mention it's impossible to use the Smart Cover in portrait mode so holding recipes while I'm cooking means propping it up against the toaster.
that link shows what one might call intuitive origami, apple's "smart cover" falls in a category all its own. a good 60% of time you fold it incorrectly when opening or closing it and it can take up to a minute of finagling before you figure out how to fold it so it stays shut/open.
If they don’t do it, expect Microsoft to perfect a future version of the Surface.
