I wonder if Microsoft is paying attention: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3293440/microsoft-windows/an-open-letter-to-microsoft-management-re-windows-updating.html

I spotted an article somewhere today saying that they're going to offer it as a service. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

The last few months were horrible.

Windows 10 won't try to reboot while you are getting coffee... supposedly.

I have a Google Pixel 2XL. A good phone, definitely top notch. I only have it because work provides me with a phone and they are with Verizon so that is how I got it. If they didn't I would still be with probably an LG phone. I honestly am thinking about going to the smallest Andriod phone I can get that still has a decent processor. Andriod Auto needs a good phone to work properly.

I have the same phone and I love it.

I love it too. No problems with it. I am just to the point that I am almost never without my tablet. So my phone just needs to be for communicating and only doing work when absolutely necessary. So I just don't like the bulk of the bigger phone anymore.

Oddly, I have gone the other way.... I have the Pixel XL (the first one), and I haven't touched my tablet for anything other than the occasional "does this still work" use.

Let his daughter and baby momma live in poverty while he was a multimillionaire.

@momurda this is old news, essentially as soon as he started to make any money he dumped his wife and kid.

He was a massive PoS.

momurda

The article is from his daughter. I think she meant it to say something else other than that. I agree with you though, what an ass. He even denied the child was his for years.
