Google Chrome is getting tab groups, now available in beta
stadii and 4 others reacted to Brandon H for a topic
This is not a great implementation. Chrome doesn't have scrolling tabs, they just continue shrinking once space is used up. The tags take up space on the tab bar so that's all the less space for the tabs themselves. Vivaldi's implementation makes a lot more sense from an organization standpoint to me5 points -

Microsoft is beginning to phase out 32-bit support for Windows 10
suni08 and 3 others reacted to Mike Loney for a topic
Good for the consumer. Less crappy Streambook like computers that die in a few years or cannot be upgraded will be produced. Now for full blown 64 bit programs, and no more 32 bit default applications (think Steam Client, and assorted other apps). My last i386 machine was upgraded over ten years ago. I think some legacy corporate installs may be hurt by this if they need 16 bit application support. Most industrial computers probably are still on XP. Other than that one drawback (legacy corporate support) there is no reason to not kill 32 bit Windows when most Linux distros and Mac have dropped it. Imagine Windows 10 with only 4GB RAM. Doesn't run too well, especially with other likely entry level or ancient components.4 points -

Google could soon roll out iMessage-like reactions for RCS chats in Messages app

What is the difference with it going through Google servers than imessage going though apple servers? When/if RCS really takes off, then is should be going through your network provider servers. Google have stepped in because network providers was not that interetsed in RCS.3 points -

Epic Games shows off Unreal Engine 5 on the PlayStation 5
AmazingRando and one other reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Ya, interesting Sony got them to demo it on the PS5 - especially considering the technology Unreal is demonstrating was created by Microsoft. (Both Nanite's and Lumen's core technologies come directly from Microsoft and DirectX.) It is encouraging to see the PS5 and Sony supporting these technologies, as things like this could have meant a massive difference in visual quality. I'm very much an Xbox first gamer, but like the idea that everyone gets access to the latest technologies. However, for anyone curious, yes the Xbox Series X also fully supports these technologies, and a bit more.2 points -

Neonix1 and one other reacted to George P for a topic
The two new tech pieces added to v5 have the huge advantage of speeding up development time, specially what Lumen can do, huge time is taken up by devs baking lighting into a scene. Luman is a nice middle ground between the current/old school baked lighting and full real time ray tracing. I can see it helping devs support current gen consoles and older PCs that can't do RT while they have a version with RT for newer consoles and higher end PCs. The key to these two things is how they scale, EPIC says they support a wide range of hardware, which is smart for them of course, so we'll see in time. Still, mid-2021, being able to transfer your UE 4.25 project over to it without issue helps but I don't see games being fully UE5 until 2022 probably.2 points -

W10 runs well on low end hardware, so it was very understandable they wanted to keep support for older devices. Get those with old machines used to W10, and when they upgrade, the change is not so jarring.2 points -

I actually agree with this. They've been talking about phasing out 32 bit since at least windows 8, if not windows 7... I honestly don't remember when it was "news" exactly... It's past time for 32 bit to go the way of the dodo.2 points -

Dell's XPS 15 gets its first redesign in five years, and the all-new XPS 17 has RTX graphics
Zlain and one other reacted to warrenrumak for a topic
I'm unhappy with the removal of the HDMI port. When my work-issued XPS 15 was replaced with an MBP a couple years ago, that was one of the biggest frustrations I had with the Mac. I was always bouncing around between meeting rooms that were only equipped with HDMI cables, so I had to bring a dongle. Other than that, though, man, these look great.2 points -

All new Nintendo Switch Micro?
Mateus and one other reacted to Brandon H for a topic
slightly off topic but the PS Vita and PS TV where such great products that ended up being missed opportunities due to how Sony handled the expandable memory; making it over priced proprietary instead of standard MicroSD. I really do think they would have been much more popular on all fronts if not for that aspect.2 points -

Antivirus only helps so much using an OS and software (especially a web browser) that no longer gets security updates leaves you extremely vulnerable. You may not be downloading anything bad but sites/ads get hacked all the time so you could be infected without even knowing. You could easily become part of a bot net for example which WOULD affect others. ----- And with that I'm closing this thread because nothing of value can come out of it at this point; it's an old abandoned project that's not relevant to modern OSs Thread Locked2 points -
The OnePlus 8 Pro's color filter camera can see through plastic objects
cleverclogs and one other reacted to +Dick Montage for a topic
Sony released a video camera in the early 2000s that had a "super IR" feature for better visibility in low light. I bought said video camera for my nephew to use at my wedding. Turns out, if you used the feature in daylight, it could see through certain layers of fabrics. So, this yielded unusable video because: 1) It was all green-tinted akin to a light nightvision effect 2) You could see which ladies opted to not have a visible panty-line2 points -

Why do people hate the fact that Apple and Google refuse to get together and agree on a common standard so that we don't have to fall back to the ancient SMS as the lowest common denominator? I'm so tired of seeing "Liked an image" or "Loved an image". Apple is just as evil as Google, just in different ways.2 points -

It's clearly not a simple "color filter" camera. To achieve such thing the sensor has to be able to poke very specific light range and not something you can just do via software filter or something.2 points -
possible to disable password based login in Windows 10 ?
waysidesc and one other reacted to +BudMan for a topic
A pin is a "password" its something you use to auth to the device. So it is a PASSWORD.. its just tied to the device, and not say your MS account!!! Its a local "password" I don't what kind of nonsense wording MS want's to put a around it.. There is no difference between a PIN and a local account password.. Only restriction is that PIN/Password can not be used to auth remotely.. You have to be local to the device. Where a password even if a local account, could be used to auth to the device remotely. The pin is used to unlock a local key, that is used to auth.. The tech behind how it auths you doesn't make it any different than a password - it is something you enter to auth you to the device/system. You understand that a fingerprint is just a "password" as well right.. Its just something you have vs something know. Still a "password" how ever you want to slice it up.2 points -

matthiew and one other reacted to RejZoR for a topic
Why am I the only one who hates the fact that RCS is routed through Google servers and conveniently isn't end-to-end encrypted like iMessages? Not to mention Apple makes most money off selling devices and services like iTunes where Google literally exists by selling user data they hoard so relentlessly. Which automatically makes it a bad idea and probably reason why everyone is hesitating on it. Along with other adoption requirements.2 points -

Not really, it would be nice if they offered a numpad option for the people that want it, but there are plenty of people (myself included) that don't want it due to the awkward off-center position a numpad pushes the keyboard into. I'll probably buy an XPS 17 now, but I wouldn't have done if it had a numpad.1 point -

Reintroducing myself after a decade
Brandon H reacted to roxics for a topic
Thanks everyone. Actually yeah. Same girlfriend. Over twelve years together. She decided to go back to college at the time and bought the macbook for that, but discovered she wasn't using it much, since her school was mostly PC based. I was completely upgrading my tower to an almost entirely new system running an Athlon II back then. She wanted to game and I was starting a new website project with a friend where we were meeting in a coffee shop every week, and I really needed a laptop not a new tower. So we traded. I've been on a mac ever since. Also buying a mac mini and macbook pro in the following years. She's been upgrading that PC ever since. But now I'm looking to do something different. I'm not really looking for hardware advice. I've kept up with what's going on over the years, somewhat. I think I've settled on a mid level Ryzen 5 system running a nVidia 1650 super. It's really more about deciding whether I want to pull the trigger and spend the money to build it or if I'm fine with what I have. It's a bit of a luxury buy/build for me. My Macbook Pro is my daily driver for most things, but my Mac Mini is doing double duty as my editing machine and Plex server. Which can slow each other down. So really I'm just trying to decide if I want to take some of the strain off the Mac Mini by adding a PC, to either do editing or act as the Plex server. I can't decided which I would task with which, if I did build a new PC. I don't even want to think about how I would share my external hard drives between both OSs. Right now all the big ones are formated for mac and the smaller are exFAT.1 point -
