  2. A new logo for Gmail is reportedly in the works

    Fantastic change. /s Their Gmail mobile app still doesn't have mark as read on notifications and also we can't select all emails from the app.

  3. Emoji 13.1 introduces 217 new emoji characters, coming to devices in 2021

    I can't tell you how many times I've tried to find a bearded lady emoji and came up short.

  4. Well said. Though you missed another key deceptive practice: Sony's consistent, intentional obfuscation over which third party titles are actual PlayStation exclusives or whether they are merely timed or are also coming to PC. Sony is the market leader. They should have nothing to fear from being honest. The sad part is that most of these practices seem intentionally designed to feed negative perceptions about Sony's competitors rather than to build positive momentum for its own brand.

  16. Yes, but these are not changes, and going after their competitor and fanning flames in the gaming community while they were doing the same thing IS DECEPTIVE. Just as they have done in previous generations, with making an issue about Xbox a public backlash, while planning and doing the same thing with PS. This is even more egregious with regard to PS4/PS5 launches, as the PS gaming framework is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE HINDERED in cross generational target than the Xbox technologies which are built around making games that run and look the best on several generations of hardware - which can be witnesses in the PC space, with Windows Games using DirectX running on an integrated Intel GPU or running at 4K with DLSS 2.0 and Ray Tracing on the fastest and most capable GPUs available - without a quality sacrifice on the newer/faster GPU technologies. Sony is continuing to be hypocritical, and pointing out flaws with Xbox and PC things they are doing and doing poorly in comparison. Sony pushed forward pre-rendered gameplay with the PS3 - while accusing Microsoft of doing this with the XB360, they also said MS's CPU/GPU in the XB360 was weak/laughable - all while knowing it was technically able to provide more visual quality with higher framerates and resolution than the PS3. Springing from the Cell hype, they were successful in this marketing. This happened again with the PS4 - again with pre-rendered gameplay that was not possible on the PS4, and again talking about their performance advantage, which was tiny at best, and in things like thermal consistency and FPS consistency, something the PS4 did more poorly with than the Xbox One. They also went after Xbox for being a 'media' device and not a 'true' gaming console, and this was so successful with the fans/community - they literally pulled 'media' Apps and features and cancelled them, even though they were fully in development. So they didn't look like they were a 'media' device. This includes things for their motion controllers and camera. These are the problems I have had with Sony as well, and this generation I have been hoping, and still do, that Sony stops this ###### and just makes a good product with good games. We don't need manipulation or hypocrisy - that is old marketing crap that needs to go away.

  18. Their whole thing is based on lies. Advertising peak numbers as normal number is a lie. The PS4 is for all intents and purposes a 9 TFLOPs machine but they keep pushing peak numbers which they know are peak. They say peak but their fans keep using them as normal numbers.

  19. No. The version is actually 20H2. And it will be marketed as "Windows 10 October 2020 Update". Per the article. Ah okay thanks Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2 Installed on ‎9/18/‎2020 OS build 19042.508 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0 All that crazy stupid info is why users get confused! And it's not consistent either. The app store calls the version number the build number. It's this sort of inconsistency that's making me frustrated with MS. 🔴"What version of windows are you running?" 🟢"..uuh Windows 10.." 🔴"Ok, and what VERSION of Windows 10 are you running?" 🟢"..uum, one twenty point two two one two point three one point zero.." 🔴"F**K IT, JUST BUY A MAC" Settings > System > About ... has shown "Version" and "Build", pretty consistently, since Windows 10 was introduced. And those are the things you need, to know exact versioning, for troubleshooting. Good luck.

  20. NVIDIA'S RTX 30xx Series (rumors, teases, etc)

    Yea, seen some videos with regards to the scalper bots. Some guy also created a bot which artificially rose eBay prices (which is why you were seeing cards going for $50k+) ... haha. NewEgg put out a tweet a few days ago saying that they experienced more traffic than black Friday during the 3080 release. _______________ Other cards (not official of course) A 3060 w/ 8GB A 3070 w/ 16GB and of course the 3080 w/ 20GB (Super? Ti?)

  21. I was researching a bit more and apparently, there are lots of Unicode (non-emoji) around here since version 13.0, however, Unicode 13 is not really supported. For example these fonts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_for_Legacy_Computing" rel="external nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_for_Legacy_Computing So apparently Unicode 13 is not yet fully supported as a default font. Also, according to unicode 13, I can write "black cat" as: 🐈⬛ but it doesn't work on my machine. Yeah, most fonts didn't even move to Unicode 12 yet. And blocks like the Legacy Computing are very specific and only need one version to be pixel-perfect with the old charsets, so they'll probably only appear in specific fonts for those use and not in normal text fonts. Fortunately most apps support fonts fallback to support those. I'm really looking forward to the Commodore 64 characters. Support for combining characters is even worse, Windows 10 still doesn't have combinations to render country flags... On the other hand, I'm pretty sure those 13.1 emojis will quickly get added to Segoe UI Emoji. The OS support is there, but we need fonts with hundreds of individual symbols and ligatures.

  22. Poll: Which next-generation console are you interested in buying?

    That is where a games console beats most P.Cs in that you can put it in the living room and it doesn't look out of place, well not until the PS5, because that looks strange. I know you can get smaller cases for computers and build them to look like a TV box, but they are a bit of a pain to build and keep cool. Agreed. I've been studying ITX cases for a while. Yeah they are pain to build as I have no experience in ITX boards myself and getting the right parts is also going to be a problem. Even the boards themselves are not cheap. Luckily I had spare fans, rams, and GFX card laying around from old build.

  24. According to the article, it's a woman with beard. But women don't have beards... Is this sarcasm? Women can and do have beards. It's uncommon but it happens. Not that it's a particularly relevant emoji but it's factual. There's also lots of other abnormalities. Have an emoji for each one then.

  25. Sony confirms PlayStation 5 will not support PS1, PS2, or PS3 titles

    At a rrp price no doubt, it's the Sony way lol. You aware of what PS Now is, right? Yes but the point I am getting at is that Sony wants you to buy the game that you already own again because of that 30% cut, they don't want gamers playing games they already own when they could be buying new ones. That's what I think this is really all about because Sony have always been a bit cold on backwards compatibility and are giving a few crumbs only because Microsoft is putting the pressure on them. Honestly, if I was a console gamer, the Xbox Series X looks the better console, it's the same price, better cpu and gpu and full on backwards compatibility, the only thing Sony has going for it is some exclusive games and the SSD speeds but that last one isn't likely to be that important because developers always target the weakest link in the chain, in this case, the Xbox Series X SSD. But you know what PS Now is, right?

  26. Are these things needed at all? I use three, the smily, sad face and the thumbs up and that is it and I only use thumbs up in SMS or maybe Facebook Messenger. I could not be bothered to look around for a picture to point out something I want to say, are we back in Ancient Egypt? By all accounts there is a key combination on Windows 10 to bring up emojis, I see about it a few times, but then I forget about it as I have no interest in them At work around 4 years back, we had a change of contract and other things happened, but to get the message across we had leaflets in the canteen, the company thought they would cool or hip or what ever you call it these days and stuffed a load of Emojis on it to get the message across of what is happening. I had to ask someone to translate most of it for me.

  27. External drive error

    So to finish this saga, the other HDD on the dock did the same exact thing. I used GetDataBack to recover the data off of both the drives, and formatted both of the external drives. I have no idea why all of the sudden these drives decided to quit working like this, but at least I got the data off of them.

  29. Poll: Which next-generation console are you interested in buying?

    Far few years? 7 years is not long enough for you? That's like life of a computer... Certainly not a gaming one. A 270X won't play many games these days But a computer can be updated, like if I want a better video card I can do that, then maybe down the line as long as they don't change the way a video card is connected, I could get a faster CPU, even with the motherboard I have I can get something slightly faster. I can also past on my old parts to someone who don't need the latest machine, with a games console once support is gone that is it, unless you just play single player games. Also with a games console you are stuck with what that company brings out in games and now you even have to pay a subscription, something you never did with a PS3, but sony seemed to have got on that bandwagon with the PS4. Yes, that is definitely the case and since we don't have to pay for online we can use that cash we save on new hardware. I mean, a 3770K is still holding pretty nicely, but you would not fit that into a 500 dollar PC in 2013. On the other hand 8th gen started severely underpowered because Bulldozzer was a POS architecture

  37. Is there even a feedback post about that online? Right now it doesn't seem like any of the "UWP" apps will run multiple instances which covers settings. Maybe adding tabs in Settings would work as well, dunno. This isn't true - UWP apps are able to have multiple instances and have been for a while now. Calc.exe (UWP) has had it the longest. It was added to 3rd party apps a while back too. But windowing is being reworked fully with Project Reunion and they'll likely rely on the new solution.

  38. Microsoft's next Surface event might be on September 30

    Does Intel or AMD even have a chip/soc that would be able to go in the Pro X's form factor? Or are you just referring to the aesthetics vs it being thinner and fan-less? I am ok with it keeping the same dimensions and the fan because of intel chips heat. But the bezels need to be smaller, maybe not as thin, but I'd be happy with a reduction.

  40. 19042.538 is available from uupdump in x64 (amd64) edition only. not available for arm64 & x86 editions. can only do "clean installs" with .538 as in-place upgrades don't work with .538 but do work with .508. edit - personally I stay away from the .538 build as it seems I recently found out the .538 build is specifically for PPiPro / Teams surface hub devices

  42. The one feature they SHOULD have added in the all the way back in the release 1607 or whatever the first update was, which allows you to have more than one windows 10 settings box open at a time. It's the one single thing that pisses me off about Windows 10. I'm in the Windows update window and want to go to all apps, and it uses the same window. GAH! It's just as dumb as the 7th version of Watch OS STILL not being able to sync to messages on the iPhone so when you delete an SMS message on the iPhone it deletes from the watch.

  43. we've all been waiting for much improve native apps - file explorer, notepad, wordpad. file explorer is one of the most used Windows apps, and it's still a confused mess of an UI design - a team struggling to put a coat of Modern/Metro paint over an archaic win32 app. there are so many fantastic 'concepts' out there - explorer with a edge(chrome) theme, multiple tabs, a better 'preview' feature.

  46. Microsoft's next Surface event might be on September 30

    I'm wondering when they're going to do a new Studio. It'd be the right time to come out with a Ryzen model with 16 cores or even a model with more, and new RTX nVidia GPU to push ahead in performance. A entry level laptop is a nice idea but 4GB RAM, eh? We really need to drop that as a entry level configuration already. 8GB should be the starting minimum by now.
