This week, Orange Pi revealed the pricing for the Neo handheld and it’s shockingly affordable. We’ll talk about it. Plus, we’ve got yet more hard evidence that Linux is better for PC gamers than Wi...
Yeah man, have code in Win8, WinPhone, and Win10. Bet you didn’t know Intel had a WinPhone device. Of course, Intel cancelled it. I definitely avoid mega corporations now. Won’t even take their interviews. The small company I work for now, they said, “Can you make this integration in 8 months”, I said yes. Two months later, all done and deployed to production. Everything is much easier when you can actually talk to other teams and submit PR’s you need.
I’m with you. I’ll never work for another big corporation. The have no interests in making good products. All Intel did was use their money to artificially keep AMD from selling chips. Which is crazy, Intel pretty much did everything first. Now they do nothing.
That might have been true. There were actually two phone teams at Intel working with the same hardware. WinPhone and Android. Our budget came from the Android budget, as they had already been funded and working on the Android version for 6 months already. It came time to demo the phones and our WinPhone could make calls, get internet, and connect to wifi. The android phone could only boot. So the Android team took back what remained of the budget, because it was felt that more Android phones would sell. The WinPhone was put on pause. Then, the android team ran out of budget and the whole thing was scuttled, including WinPhone. I bet MSFT was doing Intel a solid by not trashing Intel because it’s Android team dropped the ball. Props to MSFT for that.
Anyway, yep, I am fully linux and fully team red now.

Entirely seriously, and… also ironically:
I think I actually do remember hearing about that from a decade + ago… when I was at MSFT.
… and what I heard was we cancelled it.
Jesus fucking christ, lol.
I like to think of this as ‘we both chose the former corpo preamble to cyberpunk 2077’.
Anyway, yep, I am fully linux and fully team red now.
What a fucking world.

Same. And I’m never looking back.
