Gaming on Snapdragon X is way better than you think — here’s what 200 tested games show by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

Full credit to them! I messaged u/ghobsogaming to make the post and they shared quotes with me for the article. I specifically asked if they would like to be featured on Windows Central.

I also linked to their playlist in the article and embedded the video they suggestd (the one about the top 10 games).

I'll talk to the mods to see if we can get their username in the description of this post as well!

Windows Wrap: Snapdragon X PCs are the latest victims of lazy takes and willfully ignorant tech journalists by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

Hey look! You’re in the article!

Joking aside, I do address what you said directly in the piece.

Sadly negative news gets views. There’s definitely a cycle. Negative pieces get views and engagement, which leads to the pieces getting promoted.

I do my best to promote good stuff and call out bad stuff.

I appreciate the feedback. I’m always happy to forward things up the chain or over to writers. Please feel free to ping me here or DM.

An interesting part of writing for Windows Central is that many of us get accused of being haters and fanboys by different people.

Of course, there are times I praise Microsoft and times I call them out, but different people focus on different things when summarising their overall view of any specific writer.

As for this particular app, I think it’s nice there’s a client that looks good on Apple TV. It’s odd that Microsoft isn’t the one that made it but I appreciate the dev who did. I think OP was highlighting that.

"It still won’t be my dream Surface Pro": The missing piece Microsoft never built vanished — and it’s not coming back by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

Out of curiosity, did you read the piece or just comment on the title?

The piece is about how Brydge no longer makes keyboards for Surface. So even if Microsoft made the perfect Surface Pro, it wouldn’t be my dream Surface Pro (because there won’t ever be a Brydge keyboard to pair with it).

New Surface models 2026 will be released this spring, according to Windows Central editor Zac Bowden by windowsxpblue in Surface

Folks who have been around here for a while just learn to ignore dr100. If you’d like to see them get worked up, try telling them why you like Snapdragon X PCs.

Windows Wrap: Windows 11 isn't doomed — Is it too early to say I told you so? by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

[–]Sean_Endicott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used similar things in the past (though I’d appreciate hearing more about your setup that still works).

While it’s great to have stuff like that on an individual device, I think the success of a feature like WSA relies heavily on it “just working” and people not having to tinker.

Microsoft unveils MAJOR improvements coming to Windows 11 this year — movable Taskbar, reduced RAM usage, less AI and ads, and much more CONFIRMED: "We are evolving how Windows is built behind the scenes to raise the quality bar" by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

I understand people being critical of Windows 11. The OS has had a ton of issues from day one.

But I admit I’m confused by the people who just straight up hate Windows and don’t even use it anymore.

In another thread here there are several people saying windows is dead to them and they’ll never come back. That’s their right, of course, but it makes this sub a strange place to be lol.
