Part of the problem here is that Powershell Windows Toolbox may seem like a real Microsoft app to some users. After all, it has both Windows and Powershell in its name, two Microsoft services. It seems that is part of the trick as the app is infecting systems. It was available on GitHub to put the Google Play Store on Windows 11, taking advantage of the platform’s Windows Subsystem for Android feature....
However, a report from WinFuture suggests Qualcomm is already looking to the future. With that in mind, an upcoming chipset is in development that is codenamed the SDM1000. As that name suggests, the processor will be called the Snapdragon 1000. The report points to this being a new category of processor for Qualcomm, specifically for ultrabooks. That would explain the jump from the upcoming Snapdragon 950 to the Snapdragon 1000....
TikTok is the latest social media craze and has become the go-to posting platform during 2020. It’s something we have seen before.

The most obvious reason why Microsoft wants to purchase the company is to get a slice of that action....
Last year, Teams introduced the ability to blur backgrounds while in a chat. The idea was to keep the focus on the user while removing worries about untidy surroundings. Custom backgrounds will improve that privacy screen while adding a fun flair. However, it’s worth noting that the background blur feature launched in Skype just like week. It took several weeks to port the feature over, but it stands to reason that custom backgrounds will launch on the platform, too....
In doing so, Samsung is following industry trends from the likes of Google and Apple. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL proved very popular with consumers as did the base iPhone 11 and XR. The S10 Lite will include a ‘Pro-grade camera’, with a 48MP f2.0 wide-angle, 123-degree 12 MP f2.2 ultra-wide, and a 5 MP f2.4 Macro lens.

The South Korean smartphone market leader is dropping its latest phablet flagship at an event in New York on August 9. This date represents the earliest Samsung has ever launched a Galaxy Note device. We have seen the company announce its productivity-minded handset early each year.

Of course, the main highlight of Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is the S Pen which allows great inking experience.

Spotify intentionally built restrictions into its mobile app, forcing users to shuffle play songs and only allowing a limited amount of skips. Some users felt this was unfair, considering they listen to ads either way, and began to deliver cracked apps. The Android apps deliver some of the premium features, including ad-free listening, unlimited track skipping, and high-quality audio. They don’t let users download songs for offline use or use Spotify Connect....
Called “Puppets”, the SwiftKey is available from today on select devices. It will be a staged roll out that will happen over the coming weeks. With Puppets, users can record themselves and be transformed into an emoji such as a dog, dinosaur, and other characters.

SwiftKey says Puppets was created by accessing thousands of images and videos from volunteers....
Similar complaints have been made about Wacom’s Cintiq line of tablets, which are around $2,400. Dell is looking to capitalize on a more affordable market, but there are some adjustments. For a start, the 27-inch Dell Canvas isn’t its own device but lies at a 10-degree angle in front of an existing display. You can optionally go up to 80-degrees, but that will cost you an extra $500. Dell Canvas Specs and Features However, the Canvas does have some very redeemable features....
The new update will essentially enable the use of a PC, laptop, or tablet from across the room. A stationary or docked laptop could work as an Echo Dot replacement, though consistency is likely to depend heavily on the microphone attached. Even so, with Windows 10 19H2 being a very understated update, this could be one of its major feature additions. For Alexa users, its another notch in their ecosystem, with the other changes being primarily performance and enterprise improvements....

One source believes up to 20 states could be involved in the investigation, which may focus on the competitive practices of the companies. It bears similarities to a 1998 state investigation of Microsoft, after which it agreed to make Windows more accessible to third-party developers. This time, however, it’s not clear if Microsoft will be a target of the investigation. Neither WSJ or The New York Times have mentioned the company specifically, though it does seem the action wants to take a wider look at the role of tech giants....
