It’s really already to that point, it’s just not fully baked the way I describe above. But I think it’s highly likely to be exactly this eventually.
As a person in IT, I see an obvious change where hardware is still separated for people from person and work. people say they don’t want work on their personal devices, but then they’re the first to break that rule. Convenience is key.
So I think the solve is the same we’ve done elsewhere: 1 hardware device, multiple virtual spaces on top, all tied to the me that is the ID.
This is exactly what Microsoft attempted with Windows Phone. It worked but didn't work. It worked just fine for application that had an adaptive UI that works just a good on the desktop as on a small touch screen. starting a desktop app on the phone was not a good experience.
Yes, Apple could have a better shot at getting this to work if the phone and laptop had the exactly same hardware and because of their appstore. But having the same hardware in both devices is not enough. They would also for need to turn the MacOS into a gigantic iPhone with a touch Screen.
They would have to recreate their own version of Windows (8) 11's vision and implement an UI that works both with mouse/keyboard and touch.
I bet they are working on this, but I suspect we are many years away before we see a MacBook with a touch screen.

- web2 devs can truly plug a passwordless or social login form into their app.
- web2 nocoders get no-code auth that can be easily added to no-code site builders.
- Both ^ have the option to tap into the potential of the rapidly expanding blockchain industry.
- Web3 devs get a familiar and seamless web2 login flow + key mgmt cause Magic has native compatibility w/ blockchain.
I made a quick tutorial on how to start using it on a Webflow site: https://instagram.com/tv/CViWhSLpWPh.
I hope this helps. ^
But this has always been my experience. I remember reinstalling Windows 7 and waiting hours for Windows Update to finish. Even checking for updates could take 20 minutes.
The only thing I can think about comparing your setup to mine is that I rarely turns off my computer. If you only use your very infrequent and turn it off when not used. I wonder if Windows is doing all kinds of maintenance jobs every time you start your computer since it is off most of the time, and then when you manually hit windows update, it gets a bit busy working out the correct state of your computer
Those jobs are on my computer distributed over days / weeks but wit you they run every time you turn on windows since it couldn't run them at their scheduled frequency since the computer was off.
I am just speculating, but maybe try to turn on windows once in a while and leave it over night, to test if this improves things.
I never have these slow downs that I read others have. I always do a clean install from a USB stick (including deleting recovery partitions). I do this like once a year or 1 1/2 years when something is being released that is either a new version or what is we used to call a service packs.
Windows sucks at upgrading. There is always something strange going on after upgrading. Things that not happens after a clean install.
If it is looong time since you have performed a clean install, I recommend you to consider doing that.
We’ve had skins and avatars since the dawn of the internet. What exactly requires $10b in spending?
I’m imagining that black mirror episode where peasants ride bikes to earn points to spend on accessories for their little avatars.
Oculus will surely be a closed ecosystem. Just build a god damn database and web api so oculus games can integrate these silly pixels.
