Which USB Port Is This? Microsoft Vows To End The Lottery
Consumers are currently left confused by USB-C ports Is that a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 port on your PC or a USB 40Gbps? Nobody without a degree in computer science knows, which is why Microsoft is vowing to end the 'which USB port is this?' confusion. The USB-C connector was meant to make computing life simpler, with one reversible connection that could handle charging, displays, peripherals and data transfer. Instead, it's turned into a horror show, with various standards leaving consumers confused as to what the ports on their computer are actually capable of. Microsoft claims that its Windows diagnostics data shows that just over a quarter of users have been shown a Windows error message when plugging in a USB-C device, only to find the port doesn't support the feature they wanted. For example, plugging a monitor into a USB-C port that doesn't support display output. 'Not all USB-C ports are created equal," the company writes in a blog. 'You can't tell which ones deliver the full experience just by looking at them.' Finally, Microsoft plans to do something about this. The company plans to 'establish a minimum bar for USB-C port capabilities on PCs." This will be part of the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program, 'turning optional features into mandatory ones, and ensure a consistent level of performance you can count on,' Microsoft claims. That means when a USB-C port appears on a PC in future, it will guarantee that: There's still potential for some confusion, with different USB-C ports operating at different speeds. Currently, for example, USB-4 is available in both 40Gbps and 80Gbps speed variants via a USB-C connector, although only those seeking the highest performance from external storage would ever really notice the difference in the real world. Perhaps the biggest downside of Microsoft's plan is that it's taken so long to get here and the benefits are unlikely to be felt for many years yet. Obviously, the standard only applies to new PCs, not devices that are already in homes and businesses, or in supply chains around the world. That means it's likely to be several years before you can plug a device into a Windows laptop and be confident that it will meet the above criteria – by which time the PC industry might have moved on to another, different type of connector altogether. (Hopefully not. The industry does appear to have coalesced around USB-C and it's in nobody's interests to create another standard. But it's not out of the question, either.) So, brace yourself for a few more years of the 'which USB port is this?' confusion, until Microsoft's new certification scheme has become the industry standard.

Now Playing could get this feature that it should have had from the start (APK teardown)
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has revealed that Google is working on an easy way to manually enable Now Playing functionality. Now Playing runs in the background and uses on-device machine learning to automatically identify music. However, the company is working on a Now Playing Quick Settings tile that would let users manually identify a track. Google has offered Now Playing functionality on Pixel phones for years now, using on-device machine learning to passively identify music playing around you. However, it looks like Google could soon let you manually activate the feature. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. Google currently offers Now Playing as a passive feature on Pixel phones, automatically displaying the currently playing track on your lock screen and in the Now Playing history page in the settings menu. There's no proper way to manually identify a track, though. One workaround is to use the song search functionality in the Google app, which can be accessed in several ways (e.g. a quick settings tile or after tapping the microphone icon in the app). Unlike Now Playing, though, this solution requires an internet connection. Furthermore, tracks identified by the Google app aren't added to your device's Now Playing history, although they are stored in your Google account. Fortunately, an Android Authority teardown of the Android System Intelligence suite ( has revealed that Google is working on a Now Playing tile in the Quick Settings panel. We partially enabled this feature, and you can view it in the screenshots below. As the screenshots show, tapping the Now Playing tile allows you to manually identify a track while also producing a 'searching for song…' notification. We weren't able to get this feature working properly, but we're guessing the track info will eventually be displayed in a notification too. In any event, this would be a long-overdue addition to Now Playing on Pixel phones. We previously reported that many Pixel owners were having trouble getting Now Playing to work, so manually invoking the feature would be a welcome alternative to automatic detection. Our fingers are crossed that this Now Playing Quick Settings tile is implemented sooner rather than later. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

So You Took Ayahuasca. The Therapist Will See You Now.
SAN FRANCISCO—Denise Renye had just started a group coaching session in the boardroom of a two-year-old tech startup when a tardy employee slipped into the room. 'I know now that time is just a construct, but I'm still sorry for being a few minutes late,' the employee quipped. Everyone laughed.
