VMWare Player, disable seamless mouse integration

I've got VMware player running on a Windows 8 host with an Ubuntu 12.04 guest. VMware tools is installed, and mouse integration is seamless (which is terrible for FPS games), and I'd like to revert to having to use a hot key to focus the mouse pointer. This would be easy in VirtualBox, but unfortunately VB doesn't have very good 3D support, which would defeat the point of disabling mouse integration to play FPS games in the first place. How do I go about this?

    • 65-inch Samsung Crystal UHD DU8000 series Smart TV is back to its lowest price

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      65-inch Samsung Crystal UHD DU8000 series Smart TV is back to its lowest price by Fiza Ali Amazon is once again offering the 65-inch Samsung DU8000 Series Smart TV at its lowest price. The DU8000 offers a Crystal UHD LED panel that delivers a native 3,840 × 2,160 resolution while the Crystal Processor 4K employs AI‑driven upscaling to optimise lower resolution content to 4K clarity. For picture quality, the DU8000 supports a comprehensive High Dynamic Range (HDR) suite including HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG alongside Film and Filmmaker Modes. Dynamic Crystal Colour enhances colour volume for richer, more accurate hues, and Mega Contrast with UHD Dimming boosts depth and definition in both bright and dark scenes. Furthermore, the Motion Xcelerator engine maintains smooth motion clarity at 60Hz. Gaming on this model should be good with Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, and HGiG customisation, promising minimal input lag and fluid frame rates. HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) customisation ensures that HDR content in games is displayed as the developers intended by applying standardised tone mapping tailored to gaming, rather than general HDR video settings. This helps prevent overly dark shadows or blown-out highlights, maintaining detail and visual consistency across a wide range of game environments. Moreover, a dedicated Gaming Hub offers streamlined access to cloud gaming services and console content. Audio is driven by a 20W (2‑channel) system featuring Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound Lite (OTS Lite) and Q‑Symphony which synchronises TV speakers and compatible soundbars for multidimensional sound without overlap. Adaptive Sound analyses each scene to optimise dialogue and effects, while dual‑device Bluetooth pairing allows wireless connection of headsets or external speakers. Furthermore, the Tizen Smart TV platform offers a built‑in Bixby voice control and compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant. Connectivity options include three HDMI 2.0 ports (with eARC/ARC), two USB‑A ports, Ethernet, optical digital audio out, RF in, and dual‑band Wi‑Fi 5 (802.11ac). Accessibility features include multi‑language Voice Guide, high‑contrast and zoom modes for low‑vision users, closed captions and sign‑language zoom for the hearing impaired, and slow‑repeat buttons and a remote‑control app option for those with motor impairments. 65-inch Samsung Crystal UHD DU8000 Series HDR Smart TV: $399.99 (Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I'm not exactly sure where to post this, so move it if needed. Where can I get a Windows 11 Pro upgrade key cheap? The one I bought through Neowin Deals no longer works, and I just bought a new laptop & want to upgrade from Home to Pro.
