LG gram Book 15U50T: Is this lightweight laptop the right upgrade for you? by Paul Hill If you’re in the UK looking for a new mid-range laptop that won’t feel underpowered, check out the LG gram Book 15U50T now because it’s at its all-time lowest price on Amazon UK thanks to a 14% discount from its £699.99 RRP. You can get it now for just £599.99 (Buying link at the end). At this price, the laptop definitely makes this mid-range option much more appealing, it’s also pretty new having only come out in January 2025, so you’re definitely getting more value for your money. The delivery is free and will take a few days to arrive unless you take advantage of a Prime member trial and get it next-day in time for Father’s Day. LG gram Book 15U50T: Key features and who it's for The LG gram Book 15U50T features a 15.6-inch Full-HD (1920x1080) anti-glare IPS display, making it ideal for use in well-lit areas as you won’t see yourself staring back. It’s powered by an Intel Core i5 processor (1334U), 16GB of RAM, and has a very fast 512GB NVMe Gen4 SSD. In my opinion, the storage might be a bit tight for some users; however, the device comes with two M.2 slots if you want to upgrade the storage. The LG gram Book 15U50T is ideal for students or professionals who need a device to carry with them out and about. It has an ultra-lightweight design and weighs just 1.65kg - that’s not too far off a similarly sized MacBook Air, but for a fraction of the cost. In terms of ports, there is an HDMI port, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. There's also a 3.5mm headphone jack if you need to plug in headphones. Other noteworthy details about this laptop include that it's running Windows 11 Home with Copilot integration, it has a HD webcam with a privacy shutter, it uses Dolby Atmos audio for immersive sound, and it has a unique feature called gram Link for multi-device (including Android and iOS) connectivity. Should you buy it? If you are a student or a professional that won’t be doing heavy gaming, or using other super intensive applications, this laptop is a solid pick. It’s lightweight - so easy to carry around, it has an anti-reflective screen - so good in well-lit environments; and it features upgradeable storage slots if 512GB is not enough space. On the downside, this laptop has a mid-range processor that could limit your ability to use high-end professional tools. Another thing I’m not really a fan of here is how opaque LG has been with the battery life. As a portable laptop, you’re obviously going to want to take it on the go where you don’t have a charger handy, but all LG says about the battery is that it has a capacity of 51Wh. According to some online sources, variants of this laptop manage about 7 to 10 hours, so if you need a super long battery life, you might be better off with something like a MacBook Air. So should you buy it? If you’re not going to be doing anything super intensive, but can’t stand underpowered and slow budget laptops then this could be the ideal laptop for you. The £100 discount makes it even more appealing! LG gram Book 15U50T: £599.99 (Amazon UK) / RRP £699.99 This Amazon deal is U.K. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

Totally different vehicles. Uber has partnered with Waymo for level 5 autonomous vehicles. Waymo has completed 10 million trips and to date, there have been 696 accidents in 4 years and of those 16 of them appear to have been due to an error by the car. In total airbags have only been deployed 38 times. The technology should always be under review and continued to be improved on, but this is a totally different animal to Tesla FSD PS. no I don't work for them etc. I am an analyst for a market intelligence firm and we have a lot of interest from clients looking at the connected car space for advertising etc. so I have studied them -

But it's not full self driving it's level 2 autonomy. Audi, BMW and Mercedes all have level 3 and make far less noise about it -

Edge for Business gets secure password deployment for organizations by Paul Hill Microsoft Edge for Business now offers organizations secure password deployments as a generally available feature, the Redmond giant said. Instead of users sharing passwords on sticky notes or via email to access certain websites or tools, admins can deploy encrypted shared passwords to specific users within their organization. When a user receives a password, it is stored in their Edge password manager and can be used to log into websites seamlessly using autofill. Microsoft has made this enterprise-grade solution available to customers at no additional cost. How it works and the user experience Administrators have to manage the feature via the Microsoft Edge management service within the Microsoft 365 admin center. From there, they can add, update, and revoke credentials for specific user groups through configuration policies. Once an admin has set it up and shared passwords with users, the users will see the passwords in their Edge password manager and can be used with autofill on corresponding websites. The passwords are tied to work profiles in Edge on managed Windows devices to limit their misuse. Further boosting security, the shared passwords cannot actually be viewed, edited, or deleted (unless the website allows), or exported from the password manager. This is a good addition for security because if an unauthorized user gains physical access to the computer, they cannot learn what the password is. Administrators reading this do need to be aware of an important caveat related to developer tools. A motivated user who wants to reveal the passwords can do so by digging into the developer tools, for this reason, you should consider restricting access to the developer tools by configuring the DeveloperToolsAvailability policy. The underlying security and encryption Microsoft’s new secure passwords feature has been built using the Information Protection SDK. The passwords are encrypted and the encryption is tied to Entra identities which lets organizations enforce them without manual key management. The decryption of the passwords takes place at runtime using the same SDK, validating the user’s identity. Availability and getting started Secure password deployment is available through the Edge management service in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Once in the admin center, you should choose an existing configuration policy or create a new one. Inside the policy, go to the Customization Settings tab and then to the Secure password deployment page. To use this feature you must have a Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, or E5 subscription. The feature also requires the Edge admin or Global admin role. Source: Microsoft -

Is it though? I built a new rig a few months ago and it was literally impossible to get one without RGB, but within 10 minutes of setting it up, I turned all that crap off. It was REALLY distracting, and who needs additional heat INSIDE a PC? It's popular on YouTube for sure, it's neat looking and whatnot, but it's about as practical as a coffee cup with a hole in it. As for the price, a non-enthusiast would just see something priced way above what they can get from a retailer brand new...
