Updated Microsoft loves Linux. Unless you are a Linux user who happens to want to use Teams. In that case, you probably aren’t feeling the love quite so much. Users of that other collaboration platform, Slack, have enjoyed a Linux client for some time. Teams users, on the other hand, have had to make do with a browser experience that is often less than ideal. Hence the fifth most requested Teams feature in Microsoft’s UserVoice ...

Ubuntu 18.10 is about to make its scheduled appearance: Cosmic Cuttlefish will take centre stage from previous incumbent, Bionic Beaver. Looking back, version 18.04 of Ubuntu Linux was a shock to some and featured a desktop not to everyone’s taste, being the first Long Term Support (LTS) release of the distribution without the Unity desktop. The GNOME shell was swapped in, and the Wayland display system swapped out in favour of X.org. Wayland fans will ...

Xiaomi’s device releases have been rather interesting lately. The company has launched a phone in one country and then rebranded into a completely different series with a different name in another country. They released the Redmi Note 6 Pro without lower-end counterparts (like they have in the past), and to continue supporting the Android One program they released two devices at very close price points but with different designs and hardware choices. That last example ...

As an NVIDIA SHIELD TV owner, one of the frustrating things about the device is how it doesn’t work great with Google Home/Google Assistant. Chromecast devices work really well with Google Home, but the SHIELD does not, despite the fact that it has “Chromecast built-in.” For the longest time, it was not possible to start a Netflix video on the SHIELD with Google Home. Finally, that is changing along with some other welcomed features. There ...

It’s no mystery that success for smartphones in the U.S. is greatly reliant on carriers. Gadget enthusiasts are more than willing to buy devices direct from the OEM, but a majority of sales in the U.S. come from carriers. OnePlus is working on part of that equation by partnering with T-Mobile, and the OnePlus 6T will be compatible with AT&T’s network as well. But that still leaves out Verizon and a massive user base. According ...

Last week, Google finally put an end to the stream of leaks of the Pixel 3 by announcing the two devices. Despite the many leaks, there were a few details that were waiting to be discovered. Our initial review of the device was positive: Google continues to excel in computational photography, and the Pixel 3 is proof of their success. While the average consumer focuses on the Pixel 3’s camera performance, many Android enthusiasts love ...
