I never did this, as I never had a thunderbolt port (AMD) But it does sound logical to just use an adapter. Might wanna wait for someone else, but thats my 2 cents, and what I know of it.

Google Pixel 8a ads leaked, promises seven years of security updates, IP67 rating and more by Sagar Naresh After multiple rounds of leaks revealing the price and the design of the upcoming Google Pixel 8a, now a fresh set of ads of the alleged Google Pixel 8a have surfaced online showcasing various features of the device. More importantly, they confirm seven years of updates for the Pixel 8a, the same as that of the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. While the Pixel 8a is speculated to launch at the upcoming Google I/O event on May 14, it seems like we won't have to wait for the actual launch event to know about the features Pixel 8a will come with. Android Headlines has leaked a set of Pixel 8a advertisements that showcase some notable secrets of the Pixel 8a. According to the leaked ads, the Pixel 8a will pack an 'AI-mazing' camera on the phone, which will bundle features such as Best Take, Audio Magic Eraser, and Night Sight. Both Best Take and Night Sight aren't new features for the Pixel 8a; however. The Audio Magic Eraser is a feature that was added last fall to the Pixel 8 series and is a great addition to the mid-range Google phone. There are other features that the ads showcase, such as screening calls with Call Assist, getting a summary of emails on the spot, and Circle to Search. Also, the ads have revealed the specifications of the device, and as expected, the Google Pixel 8a is powered by the Tensor G3 chipset, the same processor that powers the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro. Google has also mentioned fast charging but hasn't mentioned how many watts of fast charging is supported. Interestingly, the ads mention support for Google One VPN, which is something that is going away in June. It is possible that these ads were made before the decision to kill Google One was taken, or it's just that Google One will be promoted till its last breath. Furthermore, the leaked ads also mention that the Pixel 8a is IP67 dust and water-resistant. One thing that Google has highlighted is that the Pixel 8a will get seven years of 'security updates', instead of just updates. So, the update policy may not be the same as the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, as we are expecting.

Good for you, but I've worked professionally in the business for over 26 years and I can assure you "the year of Linux Desktop" is not anywhere close to being here more than it was yesterday. The average non-technical person can barely use their microwave, let alone ANY Linux distro. Thanks for the Friday funny!

I miss 3Dfx so much.... loved SLI Voodoo 2s! I knew back then that accelerated graphics were going to be a big big thing! I will never forget patching my install of Qauke for VIS effects in glQuake! Long live Glide!!!

Well partly cause since limited on upgradeability of this one, even if i did manage to get the Bottom cover finally open on this HP Omen I7 7700HQ, i only could upgrade the Ram, Storage, and Battery, Video adapter also getting kinda old in current one. Desktop supports Windows 11, so kinda was wanting to have both of my machines supporting Windows 11 as i actually like Windows 11 myself I'm the type that kinda prefers if i can all systems on Same OS if possible lol

Heya Mindovermaster again Can I use just a USBC to USBC cable to connect the two and then for the signal to pass over that? I would have thought I couldm but I'm wondering if someone else has already tried this already. I also need to try and find someone that's already done it so I need to know what to do to my Intel NUC's BIOS ideally. I need to enable "DDI to mDP" to "DDI to TBT" to try and resolve this.

https://github.com/SarK0Y/TAM_RUSTy/tree/pre-workable v 1.9.83 Now, it's possible to copy/move entire list to some dir.. Example: {cd /photos} {sieve work.*2023.*\.jpg} {term cp %a /usb/pocket}

I'm just running off the initial idea, which seems to be replacing a gaming laptop just so that you can have Windows 11... Why? Don't get me wrong, I got a new laptop 2 weeks ago and it runs Windows 11. But aside from a number "upgrade" I don't see what the OS offers me that 10 didn't. I might even take the time over the weekend to revert back to 10. If you're thinking about buying new hardware that's fine, but don't do it because you want Windows 11. But that's also just my 2 cents.

Turning on/off Widgets in taskbar settings may refresh the taskbar. You can check out the full blog post here.

I remember Mint Mobile. I used them years ago.. And to sphbecker, yeah..

That sounds fun.. Anyway, that laptop should be able to run all those games

Note that the TV show is FAR better and more enjoyable than these games are.

I am not sure I am a fan of this. I think it is important to have a solid B tier of mobile providers. T-Mobile has really pushed itself into the A tier over the last 5 years, and their prices are starting to reflect that. In my opinion, eating up these other players is more about eliminating competition than it is acquiring customers, towers, and frequencies.

Microsoft adds Planner Premium Plan tasks to the new Planner app under the My Tasks view by John Callaham Earlier this month, Microsoft revealed that its upgraded Planner app for Teams had reached the general availability stage. Today, the company announced that the new Planner app is getting an additional feature update that should make it easier for its users to see all of their assigned tasks on one page of the app. In a blog post, Microsoft said the new Planner app, along with the To Do app, can now see tasks made from the Planner Premium Plan (previously named Project for the web) in the apps' My Tasks page under the "Assigned to me" view. Previously, users of the Planner app had to check each plan individually to update them if they were made via the Planner Premium Plan. This improvement means this awkward method should now be much simpler. Microsoft says: You can not only see the premium plan tasks but can also update the progress of the task and mark it as complete right within the Assigned to Me view. Editing remaining fields is just a click away; you can do so by clicking "Go to premium plan" in the task details view, which would then enable full task management capabilities. This new feature has just now started to roll out to users of the Planer and To Do apps and will be available to all users in the coming weeks. Microsoft also announced plans today to add even more features to the Planner app in the near future. They include: Ability to edit more fields from Assigned to Me view Syncing of Labels, Checklist Syncing of tasks from Plans in Named org Microsoft has already announced that it does not have plans to ditch the older Planner app or the To Do app. However, it does have plans to update Planner on the web with the new Planner app at some point.

well, preston adds a lot of features maybe not all of mobile phone, but most of the important ones, and some exclusive to telegram desktop. https://t.me/tdesktopbetatest/

Please don't resort to lying; you are not helping. I love Linux and want to see it succeed, but one huge problem in the community are massively exaugurated comments like yours that demonstrably false. It is in no way true that games install faster or easier on Linux than Windows. It is the exact opposite; you will have to spend time getting your compatibility layers setup correctly. That time may be minimal, but it exists, and to pretend that process is somehow faster than simply running in the installer on Windows is dishonest. It is in no way true that games use half the RAM on Linux vs Windows. You can make an argument that Linux allows for better optimization and lowering the overall memory footprint of the computer, but you are talking about saving 1-2 gigs at most, that is in no way going to overall half the memory usage once you add on a 10+ GB game. The performance claim in Linux is also mostly false. Gaming on Linux is reaching parody with Windows, which is great and worth bragging about, but don't claim it is better when there are very few titles where that is the case. As much as I love the idea of Linux becoming more mainstream, and Linux gaming desktop will not be mainstream until most studios offer official Linux support. Until then, it will always be a novelty for those who enjoy tinkering.

I'm not arguing that point. If you're required to do so there isn't much you can do about it. I'm just saying that if a service requires me to drop my VPN to access it, I'm going to take a moment and think about if that service is necessary when there are other services that provide the same options without the "no VPN" requirement. I've got no problem turning around to a company that I work with and saying, "I cannot access that file." It's up to them to provide the work, if the problem is because they are using a service that blocks VPN connections then the problem is on their side, not mine.

In reality, if they don't come to an agreement, Whatsapp will only have to move or fire Indian-based staff, or maybe not. It was reported there are North Korean employees that work for IT firms (which is surprising to me, because that definitely breaks Sanctions -- but that's another story). As far as the app, Whatsapp could be forced to remove it in any Indian online app store, but they can always offer it for sideloading, especially now that Apple is being forced to allow sideloading in the EU. Basically, tell the gov to screw off, just like every company does w/ Montana and soon the US Federal gov with TikTok. Pretty sad we live in a world where downloading Tiktok is now considered "Viva la Revolucion"

"the machine it is meant to" Lol keep dreaming, you don't even have proper mod support.

Games that would be Played On the Laptop at times Would be SecondLife 64bit (probably would use that more on Laptop at times if a need arised that i wanted to be on the Secondary System) Wreckfest on occasion when not running it on Desktop Need For Speed Payback Police Simulator Patrol Officer Firefighter Simulator: The Squad Lawn Mower Simulator ((Plans is to evenly split the Games between Desktop PC and The Gaming Laptop as whatever new one i decide on should have enough specs to support the games versus current Gaming Laptop that is very hard to get open and upgrade the Ram, storage and battery)

It aint. People wondering when the era of the Linux Desktop will come. IMO it's here already, I can get up and running most distros and running games much quicker than Windows. Performance is better for many now too (the forest with AMD). Memory usage is half.

It has a Thunderbolt port. Of course you can use DP or HDMI. And adapter, thunderbolt (USB-C) to DP: https://www.newegg.com/p/183-00E7-00020
