Microsoft proves you shouldn't buy their devices

[@TheFridayCheckout]

Had to reupload this to fix some small issues. Sign up and download Grammarly for FREE: grammarly.com/fridaycheckout Tesla thoughts - Tesla showed off: - Cybercab: a completley autonomous Robotaxi without a steering wheel they claim will cost under $30 000 and will be in production before 2027. - Robovan: basically a small autonomous bus. - A lot ot talk about the Optimus humanoid robot. These are big announcements! Only 3 problems: 1. Timelines were very vague, even for Tesla. Meanwhile price estimates are very hard to trust too, given their history. 2. Four of Tesla's direct reports to Elon Musk, including the Chief Information Officer and the global vehicle automation and safety policy lead, resigned before Tesla's robotaxi event. Several of these people worked for a decade or more at Tesla. 3. Tesla stock fell ~8% immediately after the event (though before the market opened, so we’ll see). Seems like the promises are a little too vague for investors. 4. Elon clearly pitched autonomy as the killer of public transport, even saying for example that a bus costs a city $1/km to operate, while a Cybercab would cost $0.2. This should sound some alarm bells. He has now admitted publicly that Hyperloop was a fake he announced specifically to undercut support for public high speed rail development in the US, even though he had no intention of ever building it. Any claims against public projects should be seen as a having exceptionally high likelihoods of distortion. For example he hasn’t explained where his numbers came from and he specifically chose buses when they are by far the most costly public transport type vs. trams, subways, etc. 401

Alright, so I bought the Lumia 925, which was the flagship back then with WP8, and it couldn't be updated to WP10. An average life cycle of less than two years is wild to me.

[@riopato2009]

I would be cautious to even buy a Surface PC also. None of their devices have any advantage over other OEMs and in a lot of cases have caused more Windows issues than most pc makers. This is based on a Surface Pro buyer myself since the original Surface, who's bought every other iteration up to the Surface Pro 9. I'm hesitant to buy their next Snapdragon Elite 2 Surface Pro if they even make a Surface pro 12 since their WOA still feels lacking. It would be best they move over to these new Lunar Lake intel chips in their devices because WOA seems like a secondary operating system that will never gain any traction.

MSFT corporate culture always viewed hardware as a sideshow. MSFT always outsourced its h/ware manufacturing because anything logistical is too complicated, and costs too much of a time.

personally i believed the surface duo had a lot of potential and a lot of reviewers and microsoft didn't give it justice, people were talking too much about it being a phone replacement, in my opinion the surface duo is meant to be more of a note taking focused tablet, almost an ipad mini killer, the camera quality doesn't matter, it's not the point of the device, it doesn't need a camera bump, and the initial launch price never helped, they were discounted heavily later on, usually halved in price but man im so upset that i will never get to see the surface neo or anything similar because panos left the company (finally i can comment early lol)

The one and only time I bought directly from Microsoft was a Surface Pro 6, as an artist I wanted to replace my conventional laptop with something that already included a pressure-sensitive pen input rather than having to lug around two devices, y'know. Worst device of my life, I tell you. First time I get it delivered I have dead pixels all over the screen, and I'm talking, like, hundreds, not just a hand full. Sent it back, no problem, yadda yadda. Got a new(?) one, and within one month I get white pressure points on the center bottom of the screen, as if some component (assumedly the CPU cooler) is pressing from the inside. Damage is permanent, i.e. whenever the thing is turned on, I have two white dots the size of fingerprints right in my working area. Tried to get another refund, and this time I guess I fell below the "yeah just keep it going" bar and got absolutely stonewalled: out of warranty, user induced damage, shipping damage that the delivery company had to get involved with, etc. Basically, they threw everything they had at the wall and hoped something'd stick. turns out it did, I'm easily overwhelmed and intimidated by this kind of pressure so I just said "yeah no I can deal with the defect." Now I've got a $1000 convertible laptop gathering dust in one of my drawers because I can't draw on it, and for a headless home lab server it underdelivers and overconsumes (electricity). TL;DR: The one time in over 30 years I wanted to feel what it's like to buy brand product instead of the cheapest I could find, I get my worst retail experience xD PS: I don't mean to generalize, this is absolutely just my personal anecdote, it just still bugs me so I jump on any chance to vent xD

Why does Microsoft keep doing this with their hardware? That Duo device was actually quite good and something different. Also far better than a foldable where you are worried about the hinge, crease and other limitations which Duo didn't have. If only Microsoft promoted that product more and if only they came up with more regular update/upgrade of that device it would have done very well. If this is what they did to the Duo then I am pretty sure their Surface laptops will also be killed off very soon. And I don't think they were ever flying off the shelves either. Customers simply do not trust Microsoft and its sloppy hardware strategy. It really is a nasty company.

Microsoft is currently proving that we should all buy Macs, as windows is basically now nagware with adverts, with the relentless push to use MS browsers, search engines, and now their AI spyware. Oh and you have around 12 months to upgrade your PC even if it's running a $1000 Threadripper CPU, or the system is vulnerable. I've come up with a novel solution - Remove windows 11 from it, install windows 10, turn it into a render node and then get Mac hardware as I need Adobe. I'll also need to buy elderly family another computer as the all in one I bought them a couple of years back has no TPM, so they will be getting a mac from me as well. MS really have blown it, they have taken users for granted and think they can put out garbage half finished OS's time after time, and now turning computers into paperweights. I won't ever make the mistake of building a powerful Windows workstation ever again, it's no longer the case that you can use it until you want to upgrade it, now Microsoft in cahoots with hardware manufacturers think they decide when I upgrade.
