  2. Microsoft reveals some new text editing features that have been put in the Edge web browser by John Callaham Last week, Microsoft released the latest version of its Edge web browser, 124, for all users in the Stable channel. The latest version has quite a few new features, including some new ways for users to edit text inside the browser. In a post on the Microsoft Edge blog, the company says that while modern web browsers like Edge can support things like editing documents, writing code and emails, and more, there have been some limitations to what they can do. However, Microsoft has been working on new text editing features that have found their way to recent Microsoft Edge stable editions. Some of those features have also been made available for Chromium-based browsers as well. Two of the features are exclusive to Edge. One is adding Edge's Compose feature to help rewrite editable text in a document inside the browser with the use of Microsoft's Copilot. Microsoft says: Select a section of text that’s displayed in an editable field and click the Copilot icon to start rewriting that section, by iterating through different AI-generated proposals.You can change the tone, format, or length settings to your needs. Another new feature that's exclusive to Edge is support for Windows Ink for digital writing in places like the browser's address bar, text area and input elements, and areas with the "contenteditable" attribute. Users can do things like delete digital writing by scribbling over words, add or remove spaces between words by drawing vertical lines, and more, Some other text editing features have been recently introduced in both Edge and other Chromium-based browsers. One is the EditContext API, which lets users create their own text editors inside supported browsers. Another recently introduced API now lets users who want to copy and paste HTML formatted text to web apps "to choose when they want to receive the full HTML content, rather than a browser-sanitized version of the HTML." Microsoft says this new API has already solved some issues when cutting and pasting text into the Excel web app. Finally, with the release of Edge 124, there's also the new HTML attribute called "writingsuggestions". It turns off text prediction for any editable part of a web page. While this is an Edge exclusive at the moment, it may appear on other Chromium-based browsers.
  3. Nothing surprising, the 1% have gotten theirs for their collection/review. No average Joe in their right mind is paying $3500 for a device they're only going to be using once in a while, especially with how odd it'll make them look in public...
  4. Kaspersky isn't the source... What are you using to backup and where are they located? You say you did fresh install, but then you have a backup... I assume you mean the data, but if you put infected data back onto a clean machine... You need to actually purchase some good antimalware software and not use trial software. EDR is ideal. Crowdstrike is the standard, but there are others. Did you reformat them all at the same time or one by one?

    Will this system run Windows?

    TV's are a lot better at that nowadays. If they can't read it, lower the desktop resolution..

    Will this system run Windows?

    I understands how it works LOL but browsing the Internet on TV is a horrible experience. Older people have enough of a problem picking out elements on a web page on a computer display right in front of them so good luck on a TV unless it's a 100" model.

    Will this system run Windows?

    You could just connect it to the TV, give her a wireless mouse and keyboard, she can sit in her LayZboy and enjoy watching youtube vids..
  8. yep it is and that's why I made the pun cuz when you say it like that "Insyde H2O" you are inside h2o when you take a bath
  9. I prefer Dash-to-Panel myself. I prefer a Windows-style taskbar to a macOS-style dock.
  10. Yes, the price is an issue. Also - regardless what fanbois say - some people find them uncomfortable after just a short time, some people have vertigo or headache problems with them and some people are just plain underwhelmed by the whole thing.
  11. Today
  12. The laptops mentioned never go off sale until discontinuation. Very few people have a wifi 7 modem, and both have upgradable wifi cards No model needs more than 100gb in my testing of ai models. The GPU is far more important than anything. CPU is 14cores@3ghz vs DGPU thousands of cores at 2ghz.... You can sometimes find the 4050 laptop variants for 694 as well. You also get 11% cashback using rakuten at both lenovo and HP, as well as additional lenovo rewards etc. There's also free 3months xbox ultimate..
  13. This is not surprise at all... If they sold 5000 of those is already a lot.... who is willing to pay $3500 dollars for a VR Headset is beyond belief.
  14. Slower cpu, half the storage and 1/4 the ram. I wouldn’t call that better. That’s not mentioning the extra storage slot, WiFi 7, of 2.5 GHz Ethernet. This laptop in its max configuration supports only 16GB of RAM. I wouldn't try gaming on either of these machines, and the AI performance is going to take a back seat to the anemic ram and storage. Side note: this SFF is on sale, so it is objectively a good deal right now for what it is. That is is you trust the company. Off sale price of 1099, eh....no way. I have had both these laptops, you can put in up to 64gb ddr5 sodimm per slot The HP may not have an extra m.2 but the lenovo does.
  15. Proving what? Lol, you just have an irrational hate of cloud storage and you think everyone thinks like you, actual statistics show that a majority of people like cloud storage. And very bold of you to say I don't understand the meaning of words when you clearly don't understand what an actual dark pattern is, nobody is getting tricked into buying OneDrive instead of signing out. Dark patterns are literally just misleading UI elements like a too small cancel button, that has nothing to do with haversting user data as you keep saying. Misleading? Like showing Low Storage scare notifications for cloud storage that you didn't know you were using so you'll buy more? Or notifying a user instead of an IT department of something that the user doesn't need to be involved in? Totally different and doesn't match the descriptor to a tee. Again, I'm sorry you don't understand what a Dark Pattern is.
  16. Noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims Vision Pro unit shipments have been heavily cut by John Callaham It's been less than three months since Apple officially put its Vision Pro mixed reality headset on sale in early February 2024. So far, it has sold in just one market, the United States, and with a huge price tag of $3,499. Today, there's an unconfirmed report that Apple has already cut its shipment unit plans for the Vision Pro, even before it starts selling the headset outside the US. Noted and usually reliable Apple third-party analyst Ming-Chi Kuo posted on his Medium page today that, according to his sources, Apple has reduced the shipment numbers for the Vision Pro down to between 400,000 and 450,000 units for the year. Kuo said the previous expectation was that Apple would ship between 750,000 and 800.000 units of the headset. Kuo points out that these reduced shipment numbers come even before Apple expands where the Vision Pro is being sold. In late March, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the headset would go on sale in China sometime in 2024. In his report, Kuo says that Apple faces several challenges with the Vision Pro. Besides the high price, there's also the comfort level of actually wearing the headset. Finally, he feels that there is currently a lack of major mixed reality applications that will work with the Vision Pro. Kuo claims that Apple is reviewing its plans for releasing future mixed-reality headsets due to the cuts in shipment numbers. Some earlier rumors claimed Apple might launch the Vision Pro 2 in late 2025 or early 2026. Now, Kuo says that timeframe may not happen. Apple will announce its regular quarterly financial numbers and discuss those numbers with financial analysts on Thursday, April 25. We will have to see if the company offers any info on sales and shipment numbers for the Vision Pro.

  18. You will get Dash to Dock only by installing a crap-ton of extras? You will get Dash to Dock by installing a single extension - Dash to Dock. Be happy that they give you a choice of which launcher to use, whether Dash to Dock, Dash to Panel, or Dock from Dash, or some other extension that users may prefer.
  19. Oh i'm definitely gonna be, and be extremely careful with all the externals when i put them away after use
  20. So, when the AI system crashes or unintended consequences begin, who is going to fix the mess?
  21. Even Linux distros have their own CPU requirements, specially as you get newer kernels. Very valid, you would have to do your homework to try and get linux on something that old, and it may still be unsupported.
  22. Good Bot, Bad Bot

    Will this system run Windows?

    Fire stick to use as your desktop device? I suppose if you hate your MIL.
  23. NOPE! NO RGB is present on the Vipers anymore... that's how they got the weight to be lighter is by eliminating it altogether. Though however, if you REALLY GOTTA have and want RGB, just get the Cobra Pro as its got plenty of it! FYI: Razer Viper V2 Pro did not have any RGB either so you won't find it there on the previous generation. It should be pretty damn clear by now that Razer does not plan on bringing back RGB into the Vipers by now/anytime soon, if ever.
