Weare The Mast Head

This has been a hack of a journey for the PC industry in the last two years. The industry saw record-breaking quarter-on-quarter sales as everyone was stuck at home during the epidemic. One person who writes an article about it can’t even count how many times I’ve written about it. However, as we relax in 2022, the tide may begin to turn. According to IDC’s industry analysts, Q1 2022 sales were still quite good, but they fell 5.1 percent from January to March. The sharp reversal of a trend of double-digit growth in this sector every quarter for the last two years.

The downturn comes through IDC’s quarterly report on the PC industry. The company’s Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker said that while shipments have declined, “this does not mean that the industry is in a downward spiral.” For example, sellers still shipped 80.5 million PCs in the first quarter. It surpassed 80 million in the seventh quarter in a row. The last time this happened was in 2012. It was mounted on an LGA1155 socket with DDR3 memory. The GPU de jour was an AMD HD 7970 “Tahiti” card built in 28nm process. If you were really bald you would get two of them for crossfire. Another classic upgrade is using an OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD for your boot drive. But we turned away … (Before spreading any more rumors about the joy of owning an OCZ product – Ed)

The report highlights the fact that the industry has removed a ton of PCs despite the supply chain still being in turmoil. “Even though some parts of the market have slowed down due to demand saturation and rising costs, we still see some silver lining in a market that has reached a starting point towards a slowdown in growth,” said Jay Chow, research manager at IDC’s quarterly PC Monitor. Chow noted that despite the chip shortage and supply chain situation, “high consumer demand has also stalled.” Overall, the report says, notebooks have declined year after year while desktop sales have increased somewhat.

Top PC vendors have remained unchanged since the last quarter of 2021. Lenovo is still the leader with 22.7 percent market share. HP is quietly on its heels with 19.7 percent market share. These are followed by Dell and Apple, Asus and Acer in fifth place overall. It is interesting to note that only Dell, Apple and Asus Q1 have increased year after year compared to 2021.

Despite some surprising changes in PC sales, IDC’s year-end analysis of 2021 predicts with alarming accuracy. We describe it at that time with the following caption: “IDC predicts that the PC market will slow down considerably in 2022.” This slowdown is coming as the GPU continues to decline, so maybe we’re just starting to see it with our own eyes. GPUs are usually in-stock, which is also a recent development.

MacOS users have long enjoyed a simple but useful feature: Quick look. This allows you to select a file and press the spacebar to preview it. It can be used in almost anything including videos, PDFs, Word Docs and pictures. Better yet, when the file appears you press the arrow keys to cycle the remaining files in the folder. This makes it easy to quickly find a specific file when lost in the sea of ​​icons. This feature was first introduced on Mac in 2007, and now 15 years later Microsoft can add it to Windows 10 and 11. Probably a factor as to why they’re doing so poorly

According to Windows Latest, the PowerToys feature has already been added to Microsoft’s internal builds. It’s called Peak and it works just like the MacOS version. Press Shift + Spacebar to preview it with a selected file in Explorer. Once the preview pops up, you have the option of what to do next For photos you will be able to zoom in and out and edit them in the Photos app The site says the feature was created during a “hack week” of the company. It was originally designed as a prototype, but was appreciated enough to make its way into PowerToys. For the uninitiated, PowerToys is a repository of system utilities created by Microsoft. Companies seem to be too hardcore for their noobs, so they’re tucked away for those who know what they’re doing.

As you can see above, Windows Pic looks exactly like the MacOS Quick Look. It doesn’t give you a full-screen image, just a small preview. Although it is enough to understand what is in the file you are looking for. Unlike Quick Look, which is baked in the OS, you need to run PowerToy in the background to make it work. Windows Latest indicates that it integrates with the Windows Photos app, but it’s not clear if it works with other types of media, such as Pick Video, Documents, and Mac. It should be noted that you can now preview the files on a panel next to Explorer, but the images are usually the size of a stamp.

The preview pane of Windows Explorer is working but not very useful.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of Microsoft’s cribing from Apple lately. It was reported last week that Microsoft would also bring tabbed browsing to Windows 11. It has been a mainstay of the Mac platform since 2007, with the same timeline as Quick Look. Microsoft is generally overhauling Explorer to make it easier to work with files and folders, and we can’t be happy about that. As the years go by it always seems a bit old, because it has received very little attention from Microsoft. That is, in addition to making it more difficult to use. Case in point: In Windows 11, when you right-click on a file, you often have to scroll “to show more options” to get the shortcut you’re looking for. Personal beef aside, we really hope Microsoft will add this feature to Windows. This will make file management significantly easier with tabbed browsing.

We’ve been away from Google for almost a year now and we’ve taken away all the unlimited storage we’ve enjoyed in Google Photos and still remember that day. Fortunately, I have good news for some of you who want to get back to the privilege of Google Photos. All you need to do is stay on T-Mobile and sign up for their new and exclusive Google One plan.

T-Mobile today announced a new Google One layer that is exclusive to T-Mobile customers. It’s coming soon and will include 2TB of Google One cloud storage for 15 / month, but above 2TB, customers will get unlimited storage for photos and videos in Google Photos.

Oh, I should mention that this Full resolution Level backups, too, are low-resolution things, not slim-down. T-Mobile specifically states that you can “save unlimited photos and videos in full resolution.” That’s a heck of a wild and an added bonus.

T-Mobile has just listed this new plan as “Coming Soon”, so we’ll have to update you as soon as it’s live. Although $ 15 / month is not cheap, if you have already paid close to the Google One plan and use T-Mobile, I think you have found a great reason to opt for this exclusive option.

Menopause begins when someone’s ovaries produce much less estrogen and progesterone than before. This slows down the secretion of ovarian follicles which affects one’s fertility. Although everyone hits menopause at a slightly different pace, Beim believes he and his firm can offset the onset of this stage between 10 and 15 years, pushing the average onset age to 70 years. This will both increase the patient’s fertility and prevent health problems associated with the onset of menopause, such as heart disease, bone disease and Alzheimer’s.

“If we can buy women an additional 10 to 15 years of natural endocrine function, we are talking about a huge increase in their vitality and their well-being at a critical stage in their lives,” Beim said. To say Luckily when Selmatics ’mission came to light last year. Selmatics plans to begin clinical trials of its menopausal drug in 2023. Trials will begin with women’s chemotherapy, a common cause of premature menopause.

The drug Selmatics works primarily by mimicking the anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), which produces ovarian follicles to normally regulate the body’s reproductive function. Patients will be able to stop taking the drug if they want to have children, just as they already have birth control. Selmatics is also working to experiment with new non-hormonal contraceptives under a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as hormone alternatives bring with them many side effects that make most contraceptives attractive.

Healthcare options that primarily affect women have not been studied for a long time and have been under-funded for reasons we won’t go here, but beam is seeing big changes on the horizon. Selmatics has been working with Bayer, a multinational pharmaceutical and life science company, since 2020, which has poured millions of dollars into women’s healthcare research in recent years. Increase Awareness With the rise of women’s health issues, the rise of “femtech” (a medical technology focused on women delivered at birth) is helping medical professionals take their patients’ experiences more seriously.

We heard rumors last week that Apple is planning to launch a new dual-port USB-C charger, and now that charger seems to have popped up in a leaked photo.

The first report comes when 9to5Mac saw a document on Apple’s website that mentioned an unpublished two-port charger, which allows users to charge two devices at the same time.

It will be rated for 35W, according to the report, possibly allowing an Apple Watch as well as an iPhone 13 to charge faster. A single port can charge an M1-powered MacBook Air faster than a charger with a ship.

Now, the unannounced charger appears in the image shared by ChargerLAB. The small white charger looks like you might expect it, though a foldable addition that some haven’t expected. Apple has sold chargers with similar Prongs before.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Alternatively, some have suggested that Apple may sell a new iPhone 14 lineup as well as a new charger this fall.

# Apple পরিকল্পনা plans to release its first 35W dual USB-C charger# ChargerLab I got the leaked picture. It accepts foldable prongs and unlike other chargers, has two USB-C ports side by side.

We will bring more information about this charger.# Applecharger #Technology # iPhone14 pic.twitter.com/wzyR7bdHdi

Apple no longer sends chargers with iPhones, of course. However it often reveals new iPhones as well as new accessories that could be good here.
