Oh, Microsoft! - Weekly Blog Post

Oh, my. It is Windows 11 time and I went in depth in this week's blog post on the "good" and the overwhelming bad that I experienced with my initial impressions. Check out the post at the link below!

Brief News!

- To start off the news segment, Canon released a new budget lens! I want this thing so bad. Quite a few of Canon's STM Lenses are in need of an update, but there was never a Wide-angle STM lens! It is now out and I really want it. It seems like a great lowlight performer and video lens!

- After Windows 10x was scrapped, the idea of a Microsoft Lite OS was thought to be gone. Microsoft has though officially released a secret project OS called Windows 11 SE that will go head-to-head with Chrome OS. I don't think this seems like a great business decision because Chromebooks have been experiencing declining sales as schools just keep the machines they already have.

- Google released a secret Pixel 6 update adding adaptive sound which is a pretty big feature that Google could have hyped and possibly should have.

- Google Pixels that were bought unlocked AND THEN registered under Verizon are being promoted to download Android 12... Again. I have gotten numerous notifications trying to get me to do it and as you know, I have already run Android 12 for a bit now. 

- Nokia is working on a beefy budget 5g phone! It is launching in 7 days at $250!

- Shocking reports now say that the most unlikely of companies may be to blame for mass chip shortages. That company is: Texas Instruments? Yeah, this calculator company manufactures chips for all kinds of devices and screwed up with increasing supply for demand.

- If you want a USB-C iPhone 10, it'll set you back $86,001. You might think I am joking but a USB-C iPhone that was made by a professional sold for that price on eBay and that income is being used to make other similar things.

- Here is info on the fixes coming to Windows 11 in yet another update...

- Finally, here is a deal that you won't want to miss. $4.99 feature packed phone camera app is on sale for FREE. I have it and the deal ends tommorow. Search ProShot into the Apple App Store or Google Play Store where you have just hours to claim this really awesome deal. It is a pretty awesome app and I will be looking further into it in the coming weeks.

And that is it!

Have an awesome week all!
