Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsTabletGoogle’s Pixel 8 Could Support External Monitor via USB-C
Google’s Pixel phones already come with a USB-C port and with the Pixel 7 (review) featuring the USB 3.2 interface which has a fair number of advantages such as faster data transfer and connectivity with external devices. However, the Internet search giant has notably omitted external display support via USB-C on its handsets until now, relying on wireless casting instead. It was reported that this could finally be introduced in the Pixel 8.
One of the best productivity-based features unique to Samsung Galaxy phones and some Android OEMs is the ability to connect to an external monitor or TV via a wired USB-C data cable. This is primarily a standalone and an upscale function on the Galaxy phones known as Samsung DeX. It allows desktop mode with an optimized interface for a larger display when you connect your phone to it.
Google Pixel 8 could turn your monitor or TV into a PC
Google is now believed to add display port compatibility to the Pixel 8 lineup, according to the source cited by Android Authority. The most obvious reason for this feature’s existence is to enable a connection between a Pixel 8 to an external display via USB-C. However, coding discovered previously indicated that Google could offer desktop mode, which would also support the pairing of a mouse and keyboard similar to Samsung DeX.
Prior to this discovery, it was found out by 9to5Google in one of the quarterly builds of Android 13 OS that Google has been working on a desktop mode, although it didn’t end up as an actual release yet. Coincidentally, these were further spotted in the Android 14 beta, which could be activated in the said iteration of Google’s operating system.
What do you think of this possible desktop mode on the Pixel 8? Would this be useful in your case? Share your answers in the comments.
