It didn’t matter. Whether it was the erroneous claim that “every device is now ‘always on,’” the overlooking of the problems always-on could (an has in the past) impose on many gamers, the sentiment that anywhere outside of a big city was an undesirable place to live, or the punctuation of a tweet with the always-tactful hashtag “#dealwithit”, gamers took enough umbrage with Orth’s remarks to see him become an overnight Internet pariah – and to send Microsoft scrambling for a meliorative response:...

What Is Microsoft Legacy Edge? It’s worth noting that Microsoft isn’t stopping support for Chromium Edge. You’ll know if you’re using the Chromium version of Edge if it uses a swirly logo that transitions from green to blue. It should look a little like a lower-case E. Legacy Edge, however, looks like a solid-blue lower-case E with a cut through it. That’s the version that’s being sunsetted, so if you’re using the Chromium version, you’re totally safe for the foreseeable future....

In further efforts to make their console more affordable, Microsoft introduced a temporary price-cut in North America over the holidays, selling the Xbox One bundle for as little as $350. The promotion performed so well that the Xbox One successfully sold more units than the PlayStation 4, so Microsoft relaunched the promotion. The Xbox One’s time at the top was short-lived, though, and the PS4 is leading the pack once again....

Can You Use Xbox One Accessories on the Xbox Series X? Microsoft wrote about the topic on Xbox Wire. In the post, Microsoft explains that Xbox fans are rightfully concerned about if they can bring their favorite controllers and steering wheels over to the new console. Microsoft sought to put your worries to rest, stating: Microsoft’s Plans for Easier Xbox Compatibility Identification Products will now feature a “Designed for Xbox” label....

It has been around for years on Windows, but now looks to be a much more useful tool for parents whose kids have access to multiple devices. Because of limitations imposed by Apple, it’s far less useful on an iPhone or iPad because it can’t (yet) control screen time but for Android phones and tablets, Windows devices and Xbox the app lets you control how long individual apps can be used....

What’s Included in the Surface Duo January 2021 Update? All of the juicy details appeared on the Surface Duo update page on the official Microsoft Support website. These details are as follows (emphasis ours): The stability updates may seem small-time, but it’s actually a huge step forward for the Surface Duo. If you cast your mind back to when the Surface Duo received mediocre release reviews, people thought the hardware was fine, but the software was a little buggy....

While 343 Industries’ upcoming Halo Infinite received a lengthy trailer and a release window, very little is currently known about what the new spiritual reboot will become. That’s because with Microsoft increasing the number of first-party studios and console exclusives, the company is giving its studios more time to develop their games in hopes that they’ll have more of an impact. In an interview with Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo, Phil Spencer explained that of the companies 14 first-party games, 12 of those games including Ninja Theory’s 4v4 multiplayer game Bleeding Edge would be releasing in the next year....

According to a report by Business Insider, Microsoft killed the project in the middle of 2021 and shifted its VR focus on a new venture with Samsung. This leaves HoloLens with an uncertain future as Microsoft struggles to figure out just what to do with the technology. HoloLens first launched in 2016 as a pair of mixed reality smartglasses that displays information about the world around you, just like Google Glass....

All four apps it integrates are available separately with added features but for most people’s needs this new Office app makes a lot more sense. The app is still in beta for iOS, though the track was full at the time of writing. Office for Android is designed to help you get to your documents faster for editing on the go with other functions like PDF editing and signing, converting images into text or tables and quick transfer to your computer or to other phones....

To recap, Judge Jackson had ordered Microsoft to offer computer makers the option of licensing a version of its Windows 95 operating system without Microsoft’s Explorer Internet browser. Microsoft insisted that because the latest versions of the two were so thoroughly integrated, the best it could offer was either a creaky old variation of Windows or a new one that didn’t work. The response was widely seen as violating the spirit of the judge’s order–as Jackson himself indicated when he performed his own quickie deinstallation of Explorer from a new version of Windows....

When Microsoft and Portals Collide for Cloud Gaming As revealed in an interview on Polygon, Microsoft has teamed up with Kim Swift, a developer who worked on Portal and Left 4 Dead, to help plan out the development. Swift got a lot of experience with cloud gaming in their previous work place, Google Stadia. With their powers combined, the duo aims to make a “cloud-native” game. This wouldn’t be a game originally designed for a console or computer then put on cloud-based hardware; this is a game that’s designed to use the cloud and only the cloud....

One of the main complaints fans have had about the Xbox One controller is the lack support for a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. This prevents people from listening to the game through their headset (without purchasing an adapter), which is something that greatly helps with game immersion. It appears as though Microsoft has listened to these complaints and are planning to rectify the situation by releasing a redesigned Xbox One controller, featuring a standard 3....

Facts about Anotia/Microtia One baby out of every 2,000-10,000 births in the U.S. has microtia. It affects males more than females and is more common in Asians and Hispanics than Caucasians and African-Americans. The highest occurrence is actually among the Navajo tribe of Native Americans. Facial plastic surgeons, however, can surgically correct these ear deformities. Causes No one knows the exact reason microtia occurs. In some cases, genetics are responsible, either because of changes in genes or because of an abnormality in a single gene that causes a genetic syndrome....

Governor Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday that although Michigan has been able to flatten the curve with mitigation and social distancing protocols, the virus had not left the state....

The Wolverines are “optimistic” they can extend struggling coach Jim Harbaugh through 2026, according to The Athletic. The report of a contract renewal drew mockery from people who believe him incapable of ever making his program a real threat to the Buckeyes. Harbaugh is coming off his worst season in Ann Arbor — Michigan went 2-4 despite entering the year ranked No. 16. He has never beaten Ohio State....
