This part is concerning though.
- voidfunc 2mo agoSomewhat, but not totally unexpected: 1. Xbox is a known mess right now. Probably 2 or 3 years before it is sorted out or spun off as its own venture. 2. Windows devices are bread and butter of enterprises and I suspect most companies are holding off on hardware refreshes due to costs. 3. No idea about the search thing.

- vrighter 2mo agomy workplace just gave me a new laptop. It has a slightly faster cpu, the same 16gb of ram I always had, no fingerprint reader, no card reader. One less usb-c port as well as one less normal usb port. Apart from the CPU, everything else is unchanged or a downgrade. But it has a copilot key!
