I'd also donate 1 BILLION DOLLAS if that represented only 28% of my net worth... I guess it's a good cause, but just shows how ######ing poor we all are when these people can just shell out that kind of money literally "just like that". And make an amazing publicity stunt while doing it. Basically win-win.3 points -

After inspecting the element, and finding the highest quality version I can find, the image is not all that good. Granted the res of the image is 1080x1350 that I got, but you can see obvious blurring in the image that happened while the photo was being taken. The camera is fair at best, based on this image.

Huh? I was thinking I just saw a report that they ditched UWP for Electron... That was Skype, which I don't know why since Electron is bulky and slow and so on. The Xbox (beta), the one you use for Game Pass on PC etc, used to be Electron but now it's using React Native. It went from around 300MB in size to 60MB from the change alone. And it's gain a good chunk of performance in the process.2 points -

You can now ask Samsung's Bixby to play Netflix movies and series
seeprime and one other reacted to +E.Worm Jimmy for a topic
bah... anyone even uses Bixby? I mean who uses it for real? I allready don't feel the need to use Assistant and Alexa, but if i wanted an assistant, i would certainly use them rather then Bixby. I have to say the marketing push with the dedicated Bixby button back when the assistant was real crap (not sure how it is not) is what made me despise it forever, basically having the opposite effect then they hoped. i did everything in my power to disable that button as it was so easy to press accidentally. What a screw up.2 points -

Google requires all devices launching with Android 11 to support seamless updates
wingliston reacted to Jameswr for a topic
It says Seamless, not Silent or Forced. And seamless=may also occur silently without any interaction or control. No need to thank them. Windows 10 updates are also "seamless" by their standards windows 10 update is anything but seamless. a seamless update wouldnt ask you to reboot and show update screen for hours and then let you login to the desktop after update. this will update silently in the background and when its ready all you do is reboot which takes 10 seconds and you have the new OS.1 point -

yeah, i wonder... i do like it, but (while looking good) i don't like that the color is gone, i know i am in minority, but i looked for color directions sometimes, rather then the shape on the buttons.... this is one thing i like better in xbox is the X Y A B buttons instead of geometrical figures. i guess sony wanted to be different by nintendo and xbox got it right, the letters make more sense i know immediatly where to press the button when prompted. if i don't play for a while - god knows where the square button should be, it is no logic, its just memory One documentary I saw, claimed that Sony used the symbols to be disruptive to Sega and Nintendo that had A B and later added X Y. I would prefer the colors are more dominate for users moving between systems, as it would easier for developers to just show a color than a Letter or a Symbol.1 point -
Netflix rolls out parental control features, including PIN-protected profiles
Skyfrog reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Glad to see this. Considering Netflix cemented the Online streaming industry and made it viable nearly 15 years ago, I have found it crazy that this area along with proper profiles has been so far behind the industry. Prior to this, there were more online controls in the original Netflix Media Server App as it was controlled by Window's minimal (at the time 2005) parental controls.1 point -

Buying an SSD enclosure with eSATA connectivity?
Peresvet reacted to goretsky for a topic
Hello, eSATA (external SATA) is just SATA with a different connector (in most cases, I-shaped keying instead of L-shaped keying). There's no difference in protocol. Like conventional SATA interfaces, eSATA does not provide power, meaning an external drive needs to get power from another source. A variant of eSATA called eSATAp (eSATA Powered) provides an interface with eSATA pins on one side, and USB on the other (think of this like an a USB-C interface which has pins on both sides, or for a legacy interface, the 36-pin Centronics parallel cable interface). In that configuration, the USB side usually provides power for an external 2.5" eSATAp enclosure, just like a external 2.5" USB enclosures draw their power from the USB bus. Most, but not all, eSATA (and eSATAp) connections use SATA-II speeds (i.e., 3.0Gbit/s), and the USB side of the eSATAp is USB 2.0 speed (i.e., 480Mbit/s). However, there may be some motherboards or add-on expansion cards that offer eSATA/eSATAp with SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 speeds (i.e., 6.0Gbit/s and 5.0Gbit/s, respectively). You may also find PC case brackets with an eSATA connector on them and a SATA cable leading back into the PC to plug into one of the motherboard's internal SATA connectors in order to use it as an eSATA port. Motherboard's may have a setting in the BIOS that allows internal ports to be specified for eSATA use, which allows drives attached to them to be ejected like a conventional USB (or FireWire) external drive. The main benefit of using eSATA instead of USB is that it does not require any additional overhead for encoding and decoding the SATA protocol insode the USB protocol, which in theory introduces some delay for the conversion and possibly some CPU overhead as well, especially for tasks involving a large amount of disk I/O. In practice, though, there usually isn't an appreciable difference in speed or performance (maybe 1-3%), and the convenience of using a USB connection. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky1 point -
