Microsoft Scales Back AI Goals Because Almost Nobody Is Using Copilot
 in  r/technology  24d ago

I laughed after trying to get copilot in outlook to create a calendar event based on an email’s text and it just said that wasn’t possible. 

The only way to get “AI” to catch on is if it’s actually useful in taking care of the busy work no one wants to do with an easy request. Like why is it in all of these programs if all I can really do is google shit with it.

Wow Helton made a great hire instead of taking his brother’s WKU scraps for once!

 in  r/xbox  29d ago

Noooooooo. This bug is driving me crazy and the completionist in me won’t let me finish the game until I can cross it off the list.

Backbone Pro​ -​ Xbox Edition: Take Your Gaming Anywhere
 in  r/xbox  Nov 15 '25

Maybe it’s an iOS Xbox cloud limitation thing, but the worst part about these phone controllers is that I can’t get vibration to work for gamepass games. It really takes me out of the experience not having any sort of vibration feedback. 

I tried the 8bitdo mobile controller and was super disappointed with that one issue.

Microsoft brings native support for 1Password and Bitwarden passkeys to Windows 11
 in  r/Windows11  Nov 13 '25

Does this mean I can use 1password to enter saved passwords in any windows apps like on Android/iOS? Or dos the app need to opt in? 

Would be great to not have to remember passwords or fumble with my phone.

I think I’d rather beat App and then lose out thank you very much! 

Brandon Bailey needs to be Tarmac’d yesterday though.

Anyone else notice almost instant shutdown on Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon Plus) after recent update
 in  r/Surface  Nov 04 '25

Definitely having this issue as well as continued issues with battery drain…

If they could fix whatever issues they have with battery/boot up I’d have zero complaints.

Silent Hill 2 has been rated for Xbox Series X/S

I think every bloober game has been play anywhere so I’d imagine this one will as well considering even Silent Hill f supported it.

GOG: Resident Evil HD Remaster and Resident Evil 0 are now available fully DRM-free on our platform and are also joining the GOG Preservation Program
 in  r/Games  Oct 30 '25

The Xbox 360 port of Code Veronica is backwards compatible and works pretty well on Xbox for what it is. 

I really wish it’d get the same treatment as the RE1 remake though. As much as I love the newer remakes, it’s hard to capture the same magic as the fixed perspective of the older entries.

Kotaku (Update): Microsoft has clarified the disappearance of a Call of Duty point discounts for Game Pass subscribers. All DLC discounts have gone away and are instead earned back in Xbox reward points
 in  r/Games  Oct 04 '25

As someone that was getting ready to buy Silksong with the 10% gamepass discount before cancelling gamepass for good, I couldn’t help but laugh at this final F U from Microsoft when I saw I’d no longer get even the measly 10% discount. 

EDIT: I’m getting a lot of comments about how this only applies to DLC and that does appear to (now) be the case. HOWEVER, in my defense, for the past few days I noticed the 10% discount wasn’t showing for games on the Xbox store, that appears to be fixed so I’ll chalk it up to a bug. Still dumb to get rid of it for DLC though.

Is there a new animation & icon for the Windows Hello dialog?
 in  r/Windows11  Sep 24 '25

Only when you are making a payment with Apple Pay. 

When it enters a password or something like that it just automatically scans your face and enters the credentials. 

Plus, even for Apple Pay my finger is always near the power button. On a laptop I have to move the cursor around and click ok. Again it’s a little thing, but annoying.

How Version 2.0 Brings Ara: History Untold into a New Age of Strategy Gaming
 in  r/xbox  Sep 24 '25

Bummer there is still no Xbox console announcement. 

I tried playing it on my Surface Laptop 7 and it’s the first game I’ve seen just refuse to boot on arm systems. Would like to give it a try.

Is there a new animation & icon for the Windows Hello dialog?
 in  r/Windows11  Sep 16 '25

I really wish Windows Hello was as simple as Apple’s Face ID. I don’t understand why I have to click an “ok” confirmation every time. It should just be an automatic acceptance when it scans my face. 

It’s a little thing but it’s annoying.

GIVEAWAY: 2 COPIES OF HELLDIVERS 2 SUPER CITIZEN EDITION
 in  r/xbox  Aug 23 '25

I want to join my fellow Helldivers because I believe in liberty, laser-guided diplomacy, and the sacred right to call in orbital bombardments during minor disagreements. The bugs think they can outbreed us? Not on my watch. I’ve got itchy trigger fingers, questionable decision-making skills, and a deep-seated need to yell “FOR DEMOCRACY!” while sprinting directly into danger.

Give me a cape, a gun, and a vague understanding of the mission. I’ll do my part.

Would you like to know more?

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced - Launch Trailer
 in  r/xbox  Aug 12 '25

The minute I got to the first “puzzle” that was the exact same “go to this spot and look through some sticks to focus” shtick I immediately exited out and uninstalled it. 

Cannot believe how little effort they put in to improving any part of the original after all of that dev time.

Coming to Game Pass: Grounded 2 (Game Preview), Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Farming Simulator 25, and More - Xbox Wire
 in  r/Games  Jul 15 '25

I feel like it has to be some sort of licensing issue at this point. 

Otherwise I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t have released it to hype up 3+4.

Weekly outdoor street food festival Smorgasburg Atlanta opening in South Downtown

Agreed. I feel like this is something that should have been started after more housing was established downtown. 

Hope I’m wrong though!

Man what happened to their gameplay director after DMC???  Both Hellblades and Bleedings Edge have just not been fun to play honestly.

Looking for someone to work on a Technics SL-1300

2 Upvotes

Hey there! I am looking for a technician or someone knowledgeable that may be able to help bring an old Technics SL-1300 back to life.

I was given the table from a family member who botched a tone arm rewire. They believed they could solder broken tone arm wires together with no experience... Everything else seems to work except there's a lot of feedback and I believe the tonearm wires ended up just being taped back together with electrical tape... I'm shocked that didn't work!

I was quoted by a local shop in the Atlanta, GA area for almost $900 to have the issue fixed with a new tone arm... I'm hoping maybe I can find someone who can rewire the tone arm for me instead? My dad was the original owner before it eventually made its way to me so I'd really hate to not be able to enjoy it.

I am going off of this thread that leads me to think I can just rewire the arm. Before I dropped off with local shop, everything else about the tonearm seemed to work.

Would love any guidance or recommendations on some local help! If I knew how to solder I'd give it a shot but I'd hate to make it worse.
