  • For Apple and other phone manufacturers battery replacements is a point where they can pressure people to upgrade. China has developed a new battery tech with about twice the capacity of standard lithium batteries. When that becomes standard in phones they want people ro be used to the idea of buying half the phone for the same price. Personally, I would prefer 2 day battery life on a full charge if there is a new technology that doubles battery capacity. At best Apple is likely to to keep that in the ‘Pro’ phones until there are $300 android phones with the technology.















  • It’s basically just Microsoft being shit heads on their development of the Windows Mixed reality drivers that creates that specific edge case. Hopefully the open source monado drivers will be a good replacement eventually. Most everything else should work fine.

    I only know because I had windows 10 LTSC when I bought my headset and tried to get it working and found reddit threads with the same issue. I tested the windows 11 IoT when it came out because I hoped it would support my headset then I found out they are dropping support next year.

    There needs to be a class action lawsuit about this to either open-source the drivers or to refund all those who purchased WMR devices.


  • Maybe it’s all in my head, but I tried it a while back and it felt less snappy than clean windows 10 but more snappy than stock windows 11. It also retains a lot of the annoyances of stock windows 11.

    Unfortunately I can’t use it because I have a WMR VR headset and it’s unsupported on the IoT and LTSC.

    There’s a YouTube channel called memories tech tips and he’s developing a script that you can add to your ISO that will have a similar effect to the LTSC. That in combination with Chris Titus techs ultimate windows utility after first boot makes setting things up much easier.
