r/HoloLens•

Is the original HoloLens viable for office/productivity work in 2023?

I’d like to use it for Teams, Outlook and Microsoft Word, as an alternative to using an Oculus Quest 2. I don’t like being separated from my environment in VR.

I am aware of the FOV limitations, and am prepared to try and work within them. However, it is unclear from browsing the web if the apps I mention will run on a HoloLens 1.

r/Nokia•

Hi All,

Just acquired an N9 from eBay, which looks like it has come from the Chinese market. I'd like to reflash it with all English firmware to get rid of the Chinese apps, but all of the online sources for the old firmware I can Google seem to be down now.

Anyone know whereI can get it from?

r/evercade•

Got this email from Amazon UK cancelling my preorder.

“We regret to report that the release of the following item has been cancelled: Evercade Atari Arcade Cartridge 1 (Electronic Games)"

Argos are still showing it as coming Dec 17th. Has anyone else heard that the release has been cancelled?

r/GalaxyFold•

I ordered a Galaxy Fold 2 at the beginning of the month direct from Samsung, as they had a discount off RRP. I presumed they were clearing stock in advance of the Fold 3.

However, my delivery date is not until 28th July. Is there history of Samsung sending a newer model for late orders instead of the previous model? I know the announcement is not expected until August 11th.

I am not bothered if I receive the Fold 2, that is what I ordered after all. Just wondering if Samsung has ever sent out an unexpected surprise?

r/Windows10•

When I saw this CPU support article earlier this year from Microsoft, I presumed that my original Windows on ARM device (the Asus Novago laptop running on the Snapdragon 835 ARM platform) would remain on an older version of Windows 10 and eventually drop out of support. No biggie, the price of early adoption, I thought.

Got the computer out today after a few weeks away with my Surface Laptop, and I though I'd run through a Windows Update cycle. I snickered cynically at the warning from Microsoft in Windows Update that my version of Windows 10 was going out of support soon, and that I should up

r/symbian•

Anyone know where I can download the most recent version of the Nokia E72 firmware (91.004)? Google links me to either malware or dead links, and the few versions I have managed to find are the wrong language. Obviously Nokia's servers are long gone, and the Nokia Software Recovery Tool from Microsoft does not have firmware images for this device.

I know it is an ancient phone by modern standards, but I'd like to keep using it as a basic messenger phone if I could.

r/Surface•

I got around to testing my Go with the HP EliteDisplay S140U USB monitor. Plugged it in to the USB-C port of the Go (used a USB-A to C adapter), and saw it flash up the HP Logo straight away. A couple of minutes later, Windows 10 had self-installed the driver and it was available as a second screen from the Project button in the Notification Centre.

So that’s the Go sending power and video over a single USB cable to an external 14” 1920x1080 monitor. The HP is nowhere near as good as the internal Surface display, but it is fine for notes or reference stuff on the side screen.
