Google teases I/O 2022 w/ ‘SVD’ interactive puzzle - 9to5Google Posted: 16 Mar 2022 11:01 AM PDT Historically, Google teases its annual developer conference at the end of January, but last year waited until April. The company this morning released the Google I/O 2022 puzzle that should reveal when the event takes place.
Google Developers on Twitter revealed the "SVD" puzzle this morning, asking "Can you untangle this string?" in what could be a reference to string or music theory. This alternate reality game (ARG) looks to be an individual puzzle after 2020's was collaborative. It remains to be seen what format I/O 2022 will take. Last year's conference was primarily virtual save for a small audience of Googlers at the live keynote. Pre-recorded sessions were then made available on YouTube after the main and developer livestreams ended. Otherwise, it's normally held at Shoreline Amphitheatre next to the Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California. The conference usually takes place over three days in early May. The puzzle is comprised of four strings in each of the Google colors, while there's a control panel at the left. There is clearly an audio component, and the goal is to untangle the strings into circles. Dylan Roussel and Kyle Bradshaw contributed to this article Puzzle AAfter opening a particular string, you can add/subtract circles from the the top-left corner. Puzzle "A" is accompanied by an equal sign at the opposite corner that reveals "31" and a grid of 16 numbers, as well as a "The truth is primarily odd" hint.

Start11 brings back Windows 11 taskbar ungrouping - The Verge Posted: 16 Mar 2022 08:00 AM PDT If you're like me and you're disappointed by the taskbar in Windows 11, there are plenty of apps to bring back missing functionality. One of the most fully featured is Stardock's Start11, and it's being updated today (version 1.2 beta) to include support for ungrouping apps on the taskbar in Windows 11. Microsoft doesn't currently support ungrouping app icons on the taskbar in Windows 11, nor small icons or even the ability to resize the taskbar. These key missing features are all supported in Start11, with multi-monitor support to independently define window grouping on secondary monitors. There's even a new option so you can left-align the Start button but keep app icons centered in the taskbar. And while drag and drop is returning to the taskbar in a future Windows 11 update, Start11 already supports it right now. It's strange to have to install a third-party app to get basic Windows taskbar functionality back, but until Microsoft fully addresses all of the missing parts of the Windows 11 taskbar, Start11 is a good alternative that also has bonus customization options. Start11 isn't free, though. There's a 30-day trial, and pricing starts at $5.99 for a single device. |
Epson's latest laser projector promises 4K 120Hz output for $3,999 - Engadget Posted: 16 Mar 2022 09:58 AM PDT Only a month after revealing the Pro Cinema LS12000 laser projector, Epson is bringing much of the same tech to a cheaper model. The Home Cinema LS11000 4K PRO-UHD also uses multi-array laser diodes as the light source (which Epson says will last for up to 20,000 hours), as well as pixel-shifting technology and a three-chip LCD system. The company claims its precision shift glass plate can refract light accurately to deliver an "exceptionally sharp and clear picture" with a 3,840 x 2,160, 8.29 million-pixel image at a display size of up to 300 inches. It says the Epson Picture Processor can handle resolution enhancement, frame interpolation, color, contrast and HDR imagery in real time. The projector supports HDR10, HLG and HDR10+, though there's no mention of Dolby Vision. The LS11000 can output 4K images at 120 fps with input lag times below 20 milliseconds, according to Epson. That could make it a solid choice for large-display gaming, though the lag might not quite cut it for high-performance players who need to minimize input latency. There are two HDMI 2.1 ports on the rear, one of which has eARC/ARC and Dolby Atmos support. At 2,500 lumens, the LS11000 isn't quite as bright as the 2,700-lumen LS12000. It has a lower contrast ratio of 1,200,000:1 compared with the LS12000's 2,500,000:1. For those key tradeoffs, you'll save $1,000 by opting for the LS11000. Epson's latest laser projector costs $3,999 and it will ship later this month. All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.
