  • They literally couldn’t pay the devs. Netflix for instance flat out refused to have blackberry pay for 2 full time devs to maintain an app.

    Netflix looked at the market share and determined that there was 0 benefit. The people that were on blackberry devices already had a Netflix account.

    Additionally Blackberry store apps were compelling for devs. Dev feedback included ease of development and more importantly they made a lot more money on the blackberry store than on iOS/android, both because the cut was better and they could jack the prices up because the customers were not nearly as frugal.

    To get into mobile would require a massive overhaul of windows apps to get them mobile-friendly

    Oh look, that’s exactly what they did and now we have PWAs for lots of apps. Maybe MS is getting ready to take a stab at mobile again.













  • Have you ran the vendors update utility? I see new Lenovos fairly often and their updates address various things that affect fan and cooling.

    Have you adjusted the power plan at all? Use a default “balanced” power plan.

    Is there an app that seems to have regular cpu usage?

    Did you remove the ads-on antivirus software yet? It’s usually garbage. The built-in windows defender isn’t the best, but it’s good enough and usually doesn’t cause issues.
