Photo Credit: Samsung Now Bar and Now Brief were introduced with the Galaxy S25 series running on One UI 7 Highlights Users may see suggestions, sports scores, and media controls in Now Bar Now Brief on Galaxy Watch may include health and weather categories The features are reported to be part of the leaked One UI 8 Watch build Advertisement The One UI 8 Watch build was leaked earlier this week and it keeps on delivering details about the features that Samsung is developing but are currently kept under wraps. According to a report, the company might be planning to bring two new features to the Galaxy Watch that are powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Now Bar and Now Brief, which were introduced with One UI 7 on the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, could make their way to the South Korean tech giant's smartwatches, enabling users to a personalised briefing containing a wide range of information and insights.AI Features on Samsung Galaxy WatchTeaming up with AssembleDebug, Android Authority reports that evidence of the Now Bar feature was discovered following the APK teardown of the SecClockWorkSysUI system app version 4.0.57, part of the One UI 8 Watch app suite. Multiple code strings and references are said to have been uncovered which suggest that the feature might be tailored to work on the Samsung Galaxy Watch's interface along with several customisation options.Notably, Now Bar is a lock screen quick view of insights powered by the Galaxy AI suite. It is a rectangular bar featuring multiple cards which appear near the bottom of the phone's lock screen that can be vertically scrolled with a card deck-like animation.It is reported to function via gesture actions. A double pinch may open the Now Bar feature on the watch face while users may also be able to set up a secondary action to move through notifications or tiles when the Now Bar is empty. It is speculated to essentially function as a widget, displaying information without having to move away from the watch face.The publication adds that Now Bar on the Samsung Galaxy Watch might be able to show information such as contextual suggestions, navigation via maps, media controls, live sports scores, and tips on how to use the feature. Additionally, it is also reported to bring the Now Brief feature, which is also powered by Galaxy AI. It provides a comprehensive view of the user's device usage and daily activities. Some of the insights users can see in Now Brief include weather forecasts, energy scores, recommendations for music and navigation, and more.However, it isn't just limited to the aforementioned options. As per the report, Samsung could add several other categories, such as health metrics and exercise updates, to One UI 8 Watch's Now Bar too. This leak builds upon previous reports which revealed that the Galaxy Watch, in addition to other WearOS-powered smartwatches, could benefit from Gemini actions. Meanwhile, the South Korean tech giant may also bring an Antioxidant feature to the Galaxy Watch 8 and even previous models.

11 bit studios revisits the first game with Frostpunk: 1886, a remake out in 2027, but in the meantime, it has a major new update for Frostpunk 2. Available now on PC, it adds a new map, The Pit, to the Utopia Builder, which fans will know from Frostpunk 1. Of course, that’s not all – check out the trailer for more details. Other new content includes Tales from the Frostland, optional challenges with unique quests and stories for Utopia Builder. Completing them unlocks a new Monument Hub, but failing will immediately end the run. You can enable as many as you’d like for added challenge. Other changes include overhauled heating, with district-specific temperature settings (and consequences). The new Heatmap view will showcase how each district is faring and how well they’re heated. You can also look forward to a new law, five reworked laws, two new buildings, nine new research topics, and three revamped technologies. And for those who seek a less stressful experience, Serenity Mode returns from the first game, removing the Fervor system, granting extensive resources, and making the weather less harsh. Check out the full patch notes below for more details. Frostpunk 2 is available exclusively on PC, with Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions coming later this Summer.

Ratjim Member Nov 22, 2021 406 Maybe it was a dumb decision on my behalf, but I had a friend build a beefy gaming PC last summer with the hopes of using it in my living room for a console-esque experience. But after a few months of it, I just couldn't find a way to make it "clean." That is, I can't rightly set up a desk in my living room. I've had it next to my entertainment center and connected to a monitor that rests on a TV dinner tray. I know, I know. Not proud of it myself. But I don't want to tie up the main TV either, and there are games I want to play that the Steam Deck can't run. What's the secret? How can I get this set up more "adult?" Hate seeing the chords and all over the place, hate having my set up feel this janky. Any tips or tricks for making this work? I just want to be able to use this machine as a console while I lounge on my couch.  Mike Rambo Member Oct 27, 2017 1,030 Philadelphia I have all wireless accessories on a rolling desk with the pc hooked up to my big tv   OrangeNova Member Oct 30, 2017 14,753 Canada Honestly, Steam Deck. and anything the steam deck can't run I stream from my PC.

As far as cables, I use a wireless mouse and keyboard. The computer itself is under the TV. So, I don't really care about trying to hide the HDMI, power, and ethernet cable.  Gavalanche Prophet of Regret Member Oct 21, 2021 25,593 I just have a small wireless keyboard and mouse on the coffee table for when I need to turn the PC on, and maybe the occasional game I want to play that is better on those. Thats about it. My PC isn't that much bigger than the PS5 was.   thetrin Member Oct 26, 2017 10,510 Grand Junction, CO When i had my PC hooked up to my TV, I kept my wireless keyboard and mouse on the coffee table with a little cushion to sit on.

USB hub and a wireless mini kb/m with controllers. Then I just use DisplayFusion profiles to go between "Desktop Mode" and "TV Mode". (Before that, I used Moonlight)  03-AALIYAH Member Jul 21, 2023 1,328 I use some table cloth to disguise mine and make all my guests eat on it. Said to them I imported a real kotatsu from Japan. They love it, especially in the winter. The tricky part was explaining the leds.   sionydus Member Jan 2, 2021 2,803 West Coast, USA Long HDMI cable, wireless lapboard keyboard, wireless mouse, dedicated controller. Since you're using a desktop, steaming to a smaller device for comfort as needed could be handy. Personally this is why I'm opting for a powerful laptop as an experiment to see if the raw hardware power loss is worth the greater ease with couch and bed-based gaming (supplemented by GeForce Now)  Xils Member Feb 4, 2020 5,074 Wireless split keyboards like glove80 is super nice for couch setup. Kinda like this but you can put each half on the couch (or arm rests) to the left and right of you seating position so you don't have to put the keyboard on your lap or coffee table. Trackball is also nice since you don't need extra space to move you mouse. I do have my PC right next to my couch though since I also use stuff like Stream Deck and those don't have wireless option so it's more convinient this way and I only need to hide a single HDMI to my TV (my couch is pretty close to the wall so the power cable doesn't really need much management). I also have a side cabinet to put other stuff on. I also recently setup my controller to be used as mouse and keyboard (mostly hotkeys, shortcuts, auto-fill credentials) with reWASD so now I can do general navigation without even having to use my actual mouse and keyboard. I set it up so that it automatically switches to this mode when a game is not the active window.  canderous Prophet of Truth Member Jun 12, 2020 10,169 Canada On the software side of things, here is a guide that shows you how to setup a PC so it can be controlled totally from a game pad (including waking and sleeping). Should be ideal for anyone who wants to have a true living room gaming PC. Though you said you don't want to hook it up to the TV? So I'm kinda confused. I don't think there's a way to avoid awkwardness of having to put a monitor on a TV table instead lol.

I use wireless Xbox controllers but have a wireless keyboard and mouse if I ever need it, but do most gaming with the controller.

Do you not have multiple HDMI inputs that you can switch between on your TV with a remote? You could put your PC on one of those inputs and just switch it when you're not using it   themanfromearth Member Aug 4, 2024 76 The main things I use are: Wireless controller + Controller Companion (for most games/tasks) Lap desk + Wireless 40% keyboard + Wireless mouse (for games requiring a KB/M setup) Mini wireless keyboard (for typing something in a pinch) Full wireless keyboard stored out of the way (for more involved typing) Of the above, I consider the Controller Companion software to be the most important piece for my living room PC gaming. It's a game changer for me (no pun intended), and the best $3 I ever spent from what I got out of it.   TheMadTitan Member Oct 27, 2017 29,695 Outside of games that explicitly require a keyboard, this is a non-issue these days. Throw Steam Big Picture on the big screen or use Launchbox Big Box or Playnite's full screen mode for a console UI. If your gaming PC isn't your only PC, you can easily set it up so that it bypasses the desktop entirely and jumps straight into the controller UI modes for either of the three programs. If you don't mind the cut back game support or have an AMD GPU, throwing on Linux with Bazzite or other Linux OS's that emulate SteamOS is possible too. Unless you're trying to do power user stuff, you're not going to need to touch anything outside of the game stuff.  NookNinja Member Jan 15, 2025 410 tokyo You don't.

I can easily move between a desk setup and a TV setup depending on the game, it's one of the reasons I upgraded to another laptop instead of a desktop. If I got a gaming PC, I'd use the laptop as a high end streaming client.  jotun? Member Oct 28, 2017 5,143 Hooked up to the TV, wireless keyboard+trackpad, only play controller games on it I don't really understand wanting a living room console experience but then not wanting to use the TV  Bonfires Down Member Nov 2, 2017 3,285 I don't get it. Wouldn't a console 'tie up' the main TV just as much as your PC? What I do is to set up a good Steam Input controller setup for the desktop and turn off UAC (though I don't know if that's a good idea). Unless all your games are on Steam I found it's just a pain in the ass to try to get some console type interface going.  Happy Puppy Member Oct 29, 2017 1,934 out_of_touch said: Permanent flaw of PC gaming unfortunately.

Wireless small keyboard like a Logitech Media Keyboard for everyday stuff and getting into games, etc that you'll use a controller on. For playing games that require a M+K that's when you get a wireless M+K but make sure to use USB extension cords for the receivers. To go alongside that you'll want a lapboard or some sort of tray.  Firefly Member Jul 10, 2018 9,657 Set up Playnite. Boot windows into Playnite Full screen mode. Enjoy!  Jtrizzy Member Nov 13, 2017 665 I almost never play games that require kb/m, so just a wireless keyboard with a trackpad, and a wireless Xbox controller are all I need. I have the steel series arctis pro with the swappable battery for when I need to use headphones. When using speakers, I have a Sonos arc, sub mini, and my surround speakers are the Ikea/Sonos lamps. PC is tucked away behind the TV, so the setup is super clean...only exposed wires would be the sub and surrounds, but they are just power cables as opposed to speaker cables.   Mezoly Jimbo Replacement Member Oct 25, 2017 5,234 AviAvi said: So steam opens up on your PC start up?

Yeah Steam opens up and auto switches to Big Picture mode. It's just turning on couple of options in steam settings. 1. To have steam starts with windows. 2. steams starts in big picture mode. I'm on Windows 11. The hardest step is figuring out how to remove windows log in/pin prompt. There are guides online that show how that can be done but Windows updates sometimes break those guides. This is the article I used to remove the login: Redirecting This video shows how the whole setup works without mouse and keyboard.

For software, I have controller companion, which makes navigating Windows with a controller easy. Then 2 macro combinations on there. Holding Back and RT triggers Display Fusion to turn off the office monitors and turn on the TV in Windows, and Back and LT cycles through sound devices, so I can output to the AVR or headset. Works pretty smooth now it's all setup.

A surprise that caught us off-guard comes in the form of a custom chipset seemingly being used in a Lenovo product called the Yoga Pad Pro 14.5, featuring the name ‘SS1101.’ Out of a multitude of companies, the multinational firm would probably be the last one on our tongue, so this is an interesting development. According to the specifications, this SoC features a 10-core CPU cluster, but it is said to be taped-out using an older manufacturing process, likely to save on costs. New rumor from a tipster claims that Lenovo will stick with the older 5nm manufacturing process for its custom ‘SS1101’ On X, our acquaintance @faridofanani96 shared an image below allegedly showing the Lenovo Yoga Pad Pro 14.5, with the chipset sporting the same name as the one mentioned above. It is unconfirmed if the device is a retail unit or an engineering one, but we can spot some partial specifications of the SS1101. The CPU cluster is ‘2 + 2 + 3 + 3,’ with the highest core operating at 3.29GHz. So far, there is no information on which cores are being used in the SS1101, so we will have to update our readers in the coming days. As for the GPU, the image reveals that the silicon sports an ARM Mali-G720 Immortalis graphics processor, but the number of cores are undisclosed. On Weibo, tipster Digital Chat Station also mentions these specifications, while also stating that Lenovo’s in-house solution is suggested to be taped-out on the older 5nm node, hinting that the tablet in the image is a prototype. The foundry’s name was not mentioned either, but Samsung has a habit of acquiring customers who place orders for the older manufacturing process, so there is a sliver of a possibility that the SS1101 was not fabricated by TSMC. At this stage, there are too many variables at play, and tons of details that have yet to be revealed, but one thing is clear; Chinese firms are aggressively making moves to ensure that they become independent in making their own hardware. As for how the U.S. will respond to this, that is a waiting game, and there is no telling if the Yoga Pad Pro 14.5 will witness a commercial launch. News Source: Digital Chat Station Deal of the Day

Have you heard the news? There’s a new Pope. Pope Leo XIV to be precise, aka Robert Francis Prevost. He was born in Chicago. Graduated a Villanova wildcat. Now he’s the first American Pope, which was such an honor to realize. Catholics make up less than 20 percent of the global population, but everyone’s got an opinion about the newest guy wearing the holiest robes.

For example, Pope Francis was not a known poster at the time, unlike Pope Leo XIV who has tweets going back years. Here’s one about how the death penalty is bad. Here’s him retweeting priest memes. He’s from the south of Chicago but is reportedly a Cubs fan. He might be the first Pope ever to have eaten a Chicago hot dog. When the white smoke was first spotted rising from the Vatican on Thursday, many hoped it meant their boy Pizzaballa had won the Conclave royale. Maybe next time.Screenshot: Bluesky / KotakuScreenshot: Bluesky / KotakuScreenshot: Bluesky / KotakuScreenshot: Bluesky / KotakuScreenshot: Bluesky / KotakuHopefully, he’s a good pope, for whatever that amounts to. In the meantime, the Giant Bomb (rip) wiki remains online and has a decent list of all pope sightings in video games. While his holiness’ depiction in the Assassin’s Creed games is well established, I had no idea the pope is also featured in Electronic Super Joy. The 2013 indie action platformer also features a level in which you need to fight the pope. Doing so restores peace to Groove City and the new pope helps you on your adventure. While it remains unknown at this time if Pope Leo XIV has ever played a video game—perhaps a few rounds of Pac-Man or Space Invaders in the back of a pizza shop in the ‘80s—the Catholic Church did recently make young Pokémon and Halo fan Carlo, who died of leukemia, into the first gamer saint. Maybe Leo XIV can become the first gamer pope. .
