eDameXxX··on First look at the upcoming Starlink Mini

eDameXxX··on Microsoft to Add Bing Search to OpenAI’s ChatGPT in Battle with Google
I'm not sure if that's the case. I know at least a few people who just learned that Bing exists and switched to it in the last few weeks. This, of course, is just a random observation.

Anyway, Microsoft claimed in this March that they have now 100 million active Bing users [1]. It's a little compared to Google, but it's probably a huge success for them.

eDameXxX··on Bicycle
I see new post from Bartosz, I upvote. Simple as that.
eDameXxX··on Apple Music Classical
Actually, I think it's a good thing they've built a separate app for that. We used to think that one app that rules all of them is a good idea. Not always.

Classical music has a lot of nuances (some of which are listed on the announcement page) and from UI/UX perspective it would be quite difficult to mixed all these details in the standard Apple Music app.

I'm now wondering what Spotify thinks about this matter. Do they plan to highlight classical music like Apple did. I don't know.

eDameXxX··on Microsoft's new Designer app uses DALL-E 2 image generator for graphic design
That's the main page: https://designer.microsoft.com/

Apparently there is a waitlist.

eDameXxX··on GPS
I'm so much impressed by the fact that all these graphics are in fact interactive animations created/written by Bartosz himself. Well done.
eDameXxX··on Translation from VC-Backed PR Jargon to English of Magic Leap CEO Statement
As for the Hololens, it's used by Trimble[1], Volvo[2], Mattel[3].

There are also cases where hospitals use it [4],[5].

eDameXxX··on Microsoft Clarity – a product to visualize user interactions
You need to put "www" at the beginning. On the video they showed the full URL: www.clarity.ms
eDameXxX··on Ask HN: What are some good technology blogs to follow?
The tittle should be:

"How can I become a master procrastinator"

OR

"Websites that can steal all my free time"

eDameXxX··on Developer Hiring Trends in 2017
I'm little surprised the high demand of Windows (desktop) developers vs low (even negative growth) in case of OSX Developers.

eDameXxX··on Mobile App Launch Checklist
>Use the Lastest iOS/Android Features

>Apple and Google want to show off the latest features in iOS and Android, so incorporating these into your app will make sure you have the best chance of getting featured.

I think it's not fair not included Windows here. Windows 10 also have excellent features.

eDameXxX··on C#/XAML for HTML5 new Beta 10.0

eDameXxX··on Windows 10 has an undocumented certificate pinning feature
> I simple don't trust MS anymore

You just "simple" don't trust Microsoft. What about other big companies, for example Google? Do you trust them or not? Why?

Do you trust Apple/Facebook/<put_here_another_big_company_with_users>? Why?

eDameXxX··on Dokany – User mode file system library for windows with FUSE Wrapper
Why and when I need create a new file system on Windows other than FAT or NTFS?

This problem seems interesting.

eDameXxX··on September Update to docs.Microsoft.com
This is nice update.
eDameXxX··on 'Mr. Robot' may be fiction, but its hacking plots are all too real
>The cliché about dysfunctional people in IT is too much for me.

This is probably the main reason why I love so much this series.

FYI: I think I'm kind of a introvert person. I have small problems with myself. And yes, I am programmer.

eDameXxX··on HoloLens secret sauce: A 28nm customized 24-core DSP engine built by TSMC
This kind of comment I call FUD.

Please watch many of available videos on YT and you will see that HoloLens is really impressive device (despite fact that is just 1st version).

------

PS. Microsoft announced couple days ago that HoloLens is "ready for businness" [1]
