The Radio Shack comparison is apt because ...uh it was possible to hang out at the Microsoft Store and talk to the employees because, er, it was never that busy (unlike Apple Stores). So probably not a money maker for Microsoft. — PolitiTweet.org

I hope it’s true that the internet has filled this gap, but when I was a kid being able to go to the mall and hang out at a store where the employees Knew Their Shit is one of the things that got me interested in tech in the first place. The Microsoft Store felt like that. — PolitiTweet.org

I have shopped and gotten support in the San Francisco Microsoft score at least a dozen times and every single time without fail was impressed by the knowledge and helpfulness of the employees. Not many stores like that left. https://t.co/4VOkmbqWew — PolitiTweet.org

@CaseyNewton @SlackHQ A very obvious and necessary feature. The number one rule of all vBulleting tech forums back in the day was Search First. And we’d just close dupe discussions with a vengeance. — PolitiTweet.org

@fqure I think it was because I’d turned off focus on shutter press and was using back button focus? I eventually got it but honestly IDK what did it, I changed a few settings. Sony Cameras do random things when they’re connected to HDMI or remote apps. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

TFW you're trying to shoot a YouTube thumbnail photo but you can't figure out the arcane Sony a7III menu setting that's keeping it from focusing with the Android remote shooting app and then your cat is like hey what's up dummy I can make this camera work better than you. https://t.co/54gXEnkBXt — PolitiTweet.org

In today’s Processor (newsletter and video!) a deep dive into the home screen changes in iOS 14. Apple waited YEARS to add deep complexity to the iPhone home screen then did at least four major things in one fell swoop. https://t.co/gxsWD2tox3 https://t.co/wA3uZoJF5m — PolitiTweet.org
