I don't find it 2 be intuitive on any level.

Microsoft sucks. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

So what OS are YOU using? | |

I don’t blame people switching Windows today unless you need Final Cut Pro. The desktop market on the consumer side is in a state of flux and getting a less expensive system with more bang for your buck is definitely on Windows. But It looks like the end of Intel is near and a switch to ARM processors in the consumers side is all but a certainty. And then the equation for consumers computers will swing back to Macs. | |

As far as FCP is concerned, here, take a look at this (click "Video Editors" on the left hand side), you should find SOMETHING there that satisfies your needs! https://docs.google.com/d...0KJ7E/edit | |

And Intel is pretty much dead. It’s just a fact. Hard to survive and expand as a niche player as they are quickly becoming. | |

Not at all, but it’s definitely going to be something mostly geared towards work and enterprise. | |

You can do all of that on a PlayStation or Xbox. Even Microsoft know that PCs are not the "go to" place to do these things. That's why they're developing the XCloud, where you can play games on any device via streaming. Google are launching their "Stadia" service this year too which again, allows you to use any device to play top of the range games. You can even use the most basic smartphone and your experience will be no different to someone who's spent upwards of 5 grand on a gaming PC. | |

Microsoft doing great by the way especially with cloud services. Yesterday they reported a record quarter and are now the most valuable company in the world. So windows is not going anywhere, but they have hedged wisely and making sure all their products can run seamlessly on the web on any device. | |

www.liquidsky.com I wasn't talking about Intel or AMD. I was referring to the limited need for a desktop PC in the home. Neither Microsoft nor Google have announced pricing for their game streaming services but I doubt either of them will be that expensive. And Internet speeds shouldn't be a factor for most people. At most, you'll need around 10 - 15mb broadband for streaming in HD, possibly slightly more for streaming in 4k. I currently have a 150mb broadband connection so I should be OK as far as Internet requirements go. The main issue people will face will be usage limits. Several ISPs still enforce download allowances, which will obviously impact game streaming. But there's an easy fix for that. Just change to a provider that has no limit. Those aren't the only 2 streaming services but they are the only 2 capable of attracting top quality games to their service. Microsoft in particular have been buying game companies like there's no tomorrow to ensure that if you want to play those company's games, then you'll need an Xbox or XCloud subscription to do so. | |

10 sucks donkey balls, worst part is all the updates they force on you that always cause problems. "Never let nasty stalkers disrespect you. They start shit, you finish it. Go down to their level, that's the only way they'll understand. You have to handle things yourself." | |

Windows 10 is no longer your computer. Plus it will be a work in progress until the sun burns out.
I don't know what to tell, most folks in the US pretty much learn enough about computers to do whatever they need to do. To speak of alternatives (switching to Apple or Android) is their option. Switch to Linux most folks aren't going their because the really don't want to relearn, so they continue to complain or suffer.
I read in the Wall Street general, non-techie, Senior citizens are swithing to Apple tablets in record numbers. I'm convinced in the long run Apple wants to get rid of Apple laptops and have everyong use their tablets. We shall see.

Desktop computers aren't the be all and end all devices they used to be. I'm not saying they're going the way of the dinosaur, dodo bird, or Commodore 64, but they will probably be relegated back to the workstations they were intended to be. People can already surf the web, go on Facebook, watch YouTube, check email, and post Instagram photos on their smart phones, and you can watch movies on a tablet and even cast it from your tablet to your TV. I currently have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to my TV to watch movies and play retro video games, and it cost me a total of $50 to assemble between the computer board, the protective casing, the power cord/supply, and the micro SD card to load the OS on. If you have a wireless keyboard, it works as a fully functional Linux computer. I can see people who still have desktops actually using them for work whether it's for actual home office work or for serious editing of videos and/or music. As for Windows 10, Microsoft tried to force it on me when it first came out, but I had it downgraded back to 8.1, which was working just fine for me. With all of the issues with stuff crashing every time they do an update, it will convince people to buy a Chromebook first, and if they have the money, then a Mac. Only those somewhat familiar with Linux will go all in, but even then it most likely would be either Ubuntu and it's derivatives or Mint.  | |

I'm looking to buy a new laptop soon. I do not want a Mac. What are the Chromebooks like? I detest 10 and the updates also...probably why nothing is working right with my current laptop. | |

Food for thought as computers of all types become smaller and thinner, they'll be unable to repaired. In most instances 3rd party repair will cease to exit and you'll be depended on the company for repairs.
I still say in the long run desktop computers make sense economically and environmentally.
Raspberry Pi, I love them but ARM technology has its limitations. They work with very well for specific task but using an OS forget about it. I'd recommend Odroid-C2 2gb lots more power and can run Ubuntu Mate just fine. | |

That's the problem for me. I want to only use my cell phone for what it was intended to be. Conversation. I don't want to watch no damn game or a movie on my cell phone. Too many folks live their damn lives in a cell phone as it is. Personal interactions can suffer because folks are thumbing away at their damn cell phone. I had a motherfucker at work a couple of nights ago have the nerve to stop working so he can sit on his ass on the work floor and watch tv on his phone. WTF? Hell no! Fucking youngsters think the use of a cell phone at work is a privilege. If I want to watch a game or a movie I want to see it on my 50" screen. I own an Ipad and it's convenient for on the go traveleling but when I'm at home (call me old fashioned) I want to use a desktop for computing. The good old desktop is still my favorite.

Any reason you're not considering Linux? | |

Anything you're allowed to buy in the stores has been manufactured with your tax dollars to surveil you. The tech companies are ALL in bed with State Mafia using YOUR tax dollars to monitor, censor and enslave you. Right down to the hardware levels (BIOS, hard drive firmware, flash memory, cpu).
Choosing 'sides' is pointless. Deconstructing the surveillance hardware and software is the only real worthwhile effort. That and creating your own stuff or insisting on using far older hardware and software. Forced Updates are just another way to feed the masses fresh exploits and make older hardware run slower, disguised as 'security' but primarily designed to sell more hardware and software while the masses have what privacy is left continually stolen http://www.youtube.com/wa...tQ7LNeC8Cs [Edited 6/1/19 16:24pm] | |
