I don't think the performance claiming is really the important part here; it's doing something that lacks any real reason but which hurts Edge. And while I agree that video overlays are common, I also think it's…
On the other hand, pretty easy how such a div might trigger a less efficient path; if the video is top in the z-order then it can probably bypass being composited by the browser (and who knows, maybe even bypass being…
Right. My take is "hey, good engineering to not need a power brick. But to what end? What's the practical purpose of this engineering? Why not just make the system bigger?"

Uh, I don't complain it has no power brick. I say that it's impressive it has no power brick.
I wish you'd posted this as a comment on the article so I could have promoted it so that everyone would see it.
One of the (many) reasons I've heard they had to abandon Longhorn was that apparently it was essentially unbuildable. The build was broken so much of the time that they gave up and started over.
Even with the CPU, you also need the right chipset and the right firmware to actually light this stuff up. While especially in the laptop sector there are consumer devices that include this, it's far from universal.
Good luck with that. It's working for Raytheon with a clearance. > (C) discrimination because of citizenship status which is otherwise required in order to comply with law, regulation, or executive order, or required by…
The advisory says it doesn't affect consumer firmwares.
It isn't on all hardware. Intel has two ME firmwares, a small one for consumer systems, and a big one for corporate/enterprise systems. The small one does not (or at least, should not; is not supposed to) include the…
I did ask them, and the post contains everything they had to say in response.
Sure, if you install a GNU stack (glibc, for example, being an important part) you can run typical Linux software on Android. It's not the default, however. While the Linux kernel has proliferated, the userlands are…
Modern graphics hardware isn't optimized for drawing bitmapped lines. It's optimized for drawing textured triangles. This means that it's not actually a good fit for GDI any more. Given that Windows Phone was, as far as…

I wear pretty strong corrective lenses (about -8 in each eye) and HoloLens was fine; a lot more comfortable than the Vive with glasses on.
It is not native advertising.
HoloLens is a derivative of Kinect. Kinect 1 (with the Xbox 360) was structured light. Kinect 2 (with the Xbox One) is time-of-flight. I'm not sure which tech the HoloLens uses (I don't think Microsoft has specified one…
Conker can handle complex objects, but they have to have been present when scanning the scene; my cameraperson was moving around so she didn't get scanned. The depth maps can get dynamically updated, so it's not…
How anonymous can the reviews be if the subject of the talk betrays the identity of the presenter?

I haven't been anything other than civil. It seems quite uncivil to me to claim that I'm unethical and the not even bother to support that claim, but curiously enough, I don't see you complaining about that.
