    Apple, welcome to the 2012 smartphone business. Now dribble out other features from WP and Android at a slow rate for another 10 years of 'innovation'. FFS

  11. If it's done right, the battery usage of AOD is negligible if the screen can turn pixels off. I always found it quite useful for checking notifications at a glance without waking the phone. I'm surprised it took them this long to even consider it - the Lumia 1520 had AOD back in 2013. Interestingly, Nokia even had AOD working on LCD screens (they called it Glance) with the 920 from 2012, and with negligible impact on battery. That was some good engineering. Yeah Nokia were good until Microsoft destroyed them.

    How will CarPlay work in cars without wireless CarPlay? They shouldn't remove the Lightning port until all the carmakers support wireless CarPlay.

    My Pixels had always on displays, it was nice to have on the bed stand at night when I needed to see what time it was, but it also was bright enough that it was distracting when trying to sleep. I could go either way on always on displays. I do like it when I'm wearing my watch.

  18. Do cables make a difference? I.E - CAT5E to CAT 7 or CAT 8

    Yeah I would be all over that myself But for like $80 for 1000/50 here - no thanks I will save the money, since 500 down is plenty... But yeah for gig/gig I would jump on that for sure! Even at higher price.. But I don't have any options in the area for anything more up.. forget the down.. And they are way cheaper than comcast.. So just hoping for some sort of fiber option, etc. The other good thing about wow is no data caps.. So yeah FU comcast

  19. Console wars round two is here - Time to choose the finalists

    360 games were so much better than PS2. Show me a PS2 game that even came close. Heck, comparing a PS2 version of game against the OG Xbox version, the OG Xbox won 80% of the time. The PS2 was technologically behind the OG Xbox.

  25. Considering that the phone is running the same chip as that of the Note10 series, I will not be surprised to see wired DeX (or USB-C video out) making it to this device. Of course, they could choose to differentiate between the flagships and this device by omitting it, but technically, it does seem possible.

    Not out of the box, no. You will need a third party program. https://preyproject.com/download/ You could simply encrypt it, and that will be just as effective in preventing data access.

  29. Do cables make a difference? I.E - CAT5E to CAT 7 or CAT 8

    It’s a limitation of their network. I don’t know any cable provider who can currently provide decent upload speeds with gigabit.

  30. Do cables make a difference? I.E - CAT5E to CAT 7 or CAT 8

    I was having issues with upload for a bit, pay for 500/50.. And was getting that - then out of the blue dropped into the dirt like 2 or 3 tops, etc.. Download was ok.. But upload was just utter useless.. When they came out - they tried to blame my modem at first (byod)... So I said sure - put it one of your yours and lets see Same crappy upload.. Took them 3 days to figure it out.. But they finally got it fixed.. 2 different truck rolls.. I have WOW, and have been pretty happy with their service and support.. You should of pressed them for gig if that is what you wanted. But to be honest - 500/50 is screaming fast enough.. I would love to have more up.. And would pay the extra for gig down if the up went up with it... But their current top plan is 1000/50 (at least in my area) - I don't need more down, I want more UP.. Serving up plex to friends and family need up bandwidth.. I don't see how anyone really could actually need gig down in the home to be honest.. That is a freaking lot of concurrent 4k streams

  33. Console wars round two is here - Time to choose the finalists

    Yeah, I tend to think the XBox consoles in general are ahead of Playstation consoles overall. because unless someone really gets into the Playstation exclusives, which I never really did (although I liked Gran Turismo(Playstation exclusive) at one point but once Forza Motorsport series came along in 2005(XBox exclusive), there was no reason for me to bother with Playstation anymore in terms of exclusives) they are better off with a XBox overall. plus, I think in terms of moding... the original XBox was the peak as just getting programs on it like XBMC (XBox Media Center) made it quite nice for video playback alone and not to mention you could run your games from it's hard drive along with emulators etc. I think the original XBox was the console I got the most all-around use/enjoyment from in the more modern era consoles (i.e. call it 2000-2001 (i.e. PS2/XBox) to date). but then again after the XBox360 era I never got into any newer consoles (basically there was simply not enough games I liked high enough for me to justify the hardware costs etc) since as I generally preferred PC gaming, especially in terms of shooter types of games as a mouse is just far easier/quicker to accurately track stuff on screen than a analog stick which cripples me. but then again there is very little games I bother playing anymore as very little is worth playing/replaying here and there as the years pass. because while I would say I used to play games more heavily from around my mid-20's and younger, I would say by the time I was around the age of 30 (which was about 10 years ago now), video games as a whole started to take a solid hit as less and less were worth playing and that continues to this day as even when I do play a game once in a while it's almost always something that started in the past, or ill simply replay a game I liked years ago etc. but at this point in time... looking back over the years I tend to think when looking at about the mid-1990's to date (call it 3D-era on forward) the N64/XBox stood out to me the most overall. but I think to this day, I would probably favor N64 over original XBox since I think those games (at least a small amount) got a bit more staying power for me at this point in time.

  39. Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon part five: Software

    The behavior was opt-out, not opt-in. Apple asked developers if they did not want to be included. For any developer that didn’t respond by unchecking a checkbox, their iOS app was included as installable on macOS. So yeah, they did what I said.

    In pain? Why not join a tech news site! If you are in pain sufficiently to ask strangers online who have no displayed or suggested knowledge in the area, surely it's sufficient to ask a medical professional?

  45. Facebook saw a drop in hate speech prevalence during Q4 2020

    If either "side" can't converse without resorting to racist, sexist and religious abuse, then I wouldn't want them on my platform either. Agreed. Also, abusing the report function should automatically suspend the use of the report function or at least put it on some sort of cooldown. Can't expect big companies to moderate millions of posts if the tools they use to regulate are actively being abused. The toxicity of social media extends well beyond "hate speech".

  46. LG's new super-light gram laptops are now available

    "I'd rather accept a bit heavier thicker notebook with access to RAM, cooling, and storage upgrades. " Like looking at a Porsche 911 and asking for higher suspension and mud-tires so you can go off-road. What you are asking for is out there, its just not this laptop. I get your point, but you should Google Prosche 911 Rally Car some time.

  47. Found a $12 (converted to $US) USB-VGA at a local shop. It's on backorder so I should receive it next week. It's those types of things in life that once you have them (having 2 displays) you just can't go back to just 1 display

  49. What are you playing?

    That would be cool! I need to see if anyone else around here has the game or would get it. I just remembered that Neowin has a Discord channel, so I've signed in and I'll ask around, maybe create a thread in the gamer's hangout as well. EDIT: I've also done a test, and it is cross-platform (PC, mobile). The mobile version is free although ad-based, but if people weren't sure if they wanted to pay for it they could try the mobile version. Since it's mostly a touch-based game it would be a level playing field.
