Windows 10X, Microsoft‘s Chrome OS competitor that was announced in 2019 alongside the Surface Neo, has apparently been shelved, according to a report from Petri. While it’s not clear if Microsoft has completely abandoned the project, it’s not arriving this year and the “company has shifted resources to Windows 10 and 10X is on the back burner,” according to Petri’s sources. Microsoft has a long and messy history of trying to make ‘light’ versions of Windows that are optimized for mobile devices. First was the awful Windows RT, the Windows 8-era OS optimized for ARM processors, and then Windows 10 S… This story continues at The Next Web Or just read… Read More
Continue ReadingSimple bank shutdown goes awry leaving customers without account access
The online bank Simple shut down on Saturday and was supposed to seamlessly transition customers’ accounts over to its parent company, BBVA. But instead, many users found themselves unable to access their bank account at all, as BBVA’s website returned an assortment of error messages, from “system error” to warnings that their account information was mismatched. The transition has gone so poorly that BBVA’s US website now opens on a large red banner warning users of extended customer service wait times. Anyone who visits the Simple transition page will see a different red banner, apologizing for the issues. “To Simple customers converting to BBVA: This has not been a good… Read More

SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket in February 2021. | Photo: SpaceX SpaceX is now accepting Dogecoin, and it’ll be paid exclusively in the cryptocurrency to launch an upcoming satellite named DOGE-1 to — yes — the Moon. The DOGE-1 is a cubesat meant to acquire “lunar-spatial intelligence” using onboard cameras and sensors.

Summary List Placement The shift away from buying boxed software to subscriptions was one of the biggest innovations of the cloud era to-date, but there’s a new model that’s winning converts and disrupting the status quo. Usage-based pricing, where companies charge customers based on their precise usage — like their per-second compute power consumption or their exact amount of storage — has been gaining steam. It’s a vastly different approach from the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, popularized in Silicon Valley over the past decade and used by software heavyweights like Adobe, Salesforce, Slack, and Zoom, where companies charge customers per user every month or every year. Snowflake, Twilio, and Stripe —… Read More
