i just bought my new lcd screen it's a 23 inch Samsung with 1920*1080 resolution, i hooked it up through the vga cable (that's the only connection that this monitor has but it's ok because i connect it to a notebook with vga) and i can't get the max resolution, i can only get 1680*1050 and the image kinda sucks like this, i tried installing the latest driver, same thing, i even used powerstrip, an utility that claims to fix the problem and nothing works, the notebook has an intel x3100 video adapter. I also have a netbook with the gma950 that runs windows 7 and there everything runs perfect at the max resolution, but on the notebook it just doesn't work...

If this is Intel graphics (and I think that's what you meant by "x3100") your BIOS is probably forbidding the 1920x1080 resolution because your laptop vendor shut it down (potentially for the exact reason walford pointed out, but it's hard to speculate on laptop vendors' motivations).

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
