@RyanLounsbury the Duo 2 is launching with Android 11, no word on when or if MS even plans to update the original to 11 anymore — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

at the end of the day, hardware was never _really_ the first Duo's problem - it was that the software was (and still is) a hot mess. if Microsoft didn't fix the software problem, it doesn't matter how many specs the Duo 2 has — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

the Duo 2 has 8GB RAM, up from the 6 in the first gen. that's a competitive amount for single screen Android phones, but when you're specifically trying to run two apps at once, I worry it might be low. the Fold 3 has 12GB and often feels like it needs every byte. — PolitiTweet.org

@mims @verge i’d ban you from ever having a byline on the site — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

only other @verge employees will truly appreciate this, but i’m a stickler for not using that word unless someone literally pulls a cloak off a product and campaigned for a long time to have it added to our banned word list in our style guide (which it now is) — PolitiTweet.org

microsoft is expected to announce the surface duo 2 today and i think the company should do everyone that bought an original surface duo a solid and give them $1,000 trade in credit towards the new one. it’s the least MS could do for those that bought and put up with that thing. — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinCTofel @gigastacey one addition — it works with SmartThings too! it’s one of the most platform agnostic smart home devices I’ve purchased, right up there with Hue lights. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@KevinCTofel @gigastacey hey, that’s the one i’ve got! you didn’t need it, but their solution to getting to work with MyQ openers that you can’t wire into is wildly clever: they send you a wireless button, like you’d clip to a car’s sun visor that you program to the door and wire to the controller — PolitiTweet.org
