If I wanted to use YT Music I’d already be using it. Podcasts and music are not the same thing. Anyway

There are some good alternatives out there, like Antennapod.

Would have loved to see this for my 4A but glad they’re looking to extend the support window moving forward. Many phones now are powerful enough to go years past their obsolescence date and chucking them away is just e-waste.

Maybe I woke up more cynical this morning, but…

Hoping to save her job, much?

Sony is also encountering similar issues in terms of the cost of games being unsustainable and Moore’s Law kicking in. The difference is that they’re making games that move consoles and Microsoft just aren’t.

At this point, I don’t know what strategy Microsoft has at this point. If you say “Xbox everywhere”, what does Xbox even mean any more for the enthusiast? I don’t think Xbox is done, but if they were looking to be HBO before, they are now going for the Netflix approach - high quantity content, mediocre product - and possibly alienate the existing audience they have.

I say this as an Xbox Series S owner, I’m happy with my purchase, but as a consumer I don’t think I’ll be upgrading my console to anything Microsoft ship any time soon.

This is a brain dead decision and nothing short of a complete 180 will perhaps save them, but even then the reputational damage is severe.

Curious to know what they intend to do with the Bully XLs currently owned legally.

It’s a great base for general desktop use as well as server. Been using it on my PC for years now, and aside from a few 3rd party repositories it has everything I need. It just works and continues to work.

Ah, I see, cut income tax just before a general election despite having literally years to do so prior, just so Labour will be forced to find extra income elsewhere or revert the tax cut in some form when they get in power. Cynical as usual.

Nationalise the lot of them. They had their chance.

I think if you read through this and take it at face value, there is a pretty clear picture of what happened: https://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2024/03/30/a-microcosm-of-the-interactions-in-open-source-projects/
