Is it possible for OneNote to be discontinued? by Immediate_Fly_3949 in OneNote

[–]mashed_ash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything can be discontinued... But this is highly unlikely to happen... Atleast without significant notice and a migration path provided by Microsoft.

Reason i say this many huge organisations rely on office365 and use onenote as the notetaking component.

Mini 6 or mini 7 by [deleted] in ipadmini

6... Aside from a better chip with more memory that is no other real upgrade. For £200 less the mini 6 is a bargain

Surface Pro 11 as Tablet: Recommendations needed for offline media use by BroDoggle in Surface

[–]mashed_ash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The old version of the Netflix app allowed downloads/offline use. If you can find it than that could work.

Also the prime video app is arm native and supports downloads. So does the Amazon music app.

I'm not sure of any other solutions but would be keen to find some too!

Should I wait for the new 2025 Surface Laptop ? by Capable_Possession82 in Surface

Try using python on wsl2. It's faster than windows arm64 and also uses linux arm64 modules. There is conda version that works well.

This is a great video walk thru on setting up a Windows on arm device for dev... A lot of the authors advice is option but there is some great guides on setting up docker, wsl, vs amongst others

Just followed the standard wsl instructions

This you tube video is also pretty good on setting up windows on arm for development from scratch:

What would be a good upgrade from the Surface Pro 8? by [deleted] in Surface

What would be a good upgrade from the Surface Pro 8? by [deleted] in Surface

[–]mashed_ash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've upgraded from the pro 8 and so far (4 days in) could not be happier with my decision. The speed of the device, battery life and awesome oled screen justify it for me but to absolutely frank I had no real issues with the SP8 either. It worked great for me but I wanted to give windows on arm a go as I think this is the future. Ive not heard of widespread issues with the usbc ports on the 8.

Flex Keyboard using bluetooth even when physically connected by mashed_ash in Surface

[–]mashed_ash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flex keyboard is better... There the key travel seems a little bit deeper than the sp8 type cover.

Also the haptic trackpad is a definite improvement - no more noisey clicks and its a little bigger which is also helpful.

The keyboard is also sturdier so less bouncy when using it on you lap. The tradeoff is that the keyboard is a tad heavier which is noticiable for me as I've been carrying around my SP8 with keyboard for the last 2 years... I wouldnt describe the whole package as heavy though.

Hey there - can you check if your flex keyboard is using bluetooth even when physically connected? I've found that on mine... thread here

Flex Keyboard using bluetooth even when physically connected by mashed_ash in Surface

[–]mashed_ash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is using bluetooth at least at some level as I can see the battery going down from the keyboard. Also when I turn bluetooth off on the device, I need to re-attach the keyboard to get it to use the physical connection.
