It makes loads of sense to combine these two services into a single app. Even so, the actual integration needs some explaining. Google says Meet features will become available in Duo, but then nearer the end of the year, the Duo app will be rebranded as Google Meet. Why not the other way around if it is going to be called Google Meet? That’s unclear, but it is probably because it is easier to migrate Meet features to Duo and rebrand the app than migrate Duo features into Meet....

Google Stadia a subscription that gives players free games in 4K resolution at 60fps. To get this kind of performance, users will need to have an internet connection of 35Mbps of more.

What is CompactOS in Windows 10? CompactOS replaces Windows 8.1’s WIMBoot feature, compressing certain system files to free up space in Windows 10. It can act as an alternative to full NTSF compression on your system drive, only saving space where it impacts performance the least. As a result, you don’t stand to gain much from CompactOS use – between 2GB and 5GB of space – but that can be a lot if you’re working with a 64 or even 32 GB drive....

At first glance, the Reverb seems to solve many complaints users have with current headsets. It’s light, comfortable, machine washable, and extremely high-resolution. It ditches circle lenses for squircle ones, outputting at 2160 x 2160 for each eye. For context, that’s more than the best offerings from both HTC and Occulus. The caveat, though, is Reverb’s field of view. At 114 degrees, it’s a step up from the previous 105, but still not close to the Vive’s 145....

Integrated vs Dedicated Graphics Card Normally there are two different types of GPUs available: Dedicated Graphics Card and Integrated Graphics Card. Integrated Graphics are built into the motherboard where no add-in card is used. Integrated graphics use a portion of a computer’s system RAM instead of their own dedicated memory. Integrated graphics are less powerful than discrete graphics, but conserve energy. You’ll find these built into most ‘standard’ laptops and computers, they are a cost-effective model but cannot be easily upgraded....

However, Meltdown and Spectre are thought to be present in processors up to twenty years old....

Perhaps the announcement is a surprise. Just a few months ago, Israel said it would not renew its contract with Microsoft. At the time, the nation said changes in licensing terms meant the software would double in price. When complaining about the new licensing in August, the government said it was then paying 100 million shekels ($27 million, $1 = 3.6896 shekels) to use Microsoft’s Office productivity suite and Windows server software in its offices....

While attacks on Microsoft’s Windows platform are common, major breaches of Mac devices are more sporadic. At least that’s what we’re told. Apple’s closed shop system means it has complete control over everything, whereas Windows moves to numerous OEMs. It is a similar situation on mobile, with closed iOS perceived to have less security flaws as Android. I will not add an opinion on whether I believe these statements to be true or misconceptions, but the obvious fact is Mac machines are not invulnerable....

Government organizations have been increasingly wary of big tech and how it works to bolster its market position. The FTC has been joined by the House Judiciary Committee and Justice Department in investigation how these companies use their size to shut out competition. However, those concerns have come from major acquisition activity. For example, Facebook’s $1 billion purchase of Instagram, Microsoft’s $26 billion deal to buy LinkedIn, and Apple’s $3 billion acquisition for Beats....
