Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier this month it was reported that Facebook was testing out a new chat platform called Workplace Chat that from what we can tell, wants to be a competitor to the likes of Slack. For those who are interested in exploring new options and platforms, you’ll be pleased to learn that Workplace Chat has since been launched and is no longer in beta.

In case you’re learning about this for the first time, Workplace Chat is basically an extension of sorts to Workplace which was launched last year. With the launch of the chat feature, users will be able to chat with users on Workplace over multiple platforms such as their PC, Mac, or mobile device.

Granted this sounds like it could basically be Facebook Messenger, but there will be productivity features such as screen and file sharing, and there are also plans to eventually include group video calling. This will also allow users to create virtual rooms of up to 50 people at once for interactive video conferences.

Given that Facebook can’t just concentrate on regular users, catering to professionals with Workplace and Workplace Chat just seems like a natural evolution. So far the company has managed to successfully get Walmart as a customer, and it remains to be seen if they’ll be able to attract other big companies to its platform in the future.

For a while now we have been hearing that Samsung could have a foldable phone in the works dubbed the Galaxy X. This isn’t so much a phone that can flip open and close, but rather a phone with a full screen display that can be folded into half, which is a rather interesting albeit novel concept.

So how exactly will this phone look like? We have seen patents filed in the past that have given us a clue, although in recent times the folks at LetsGoDigital have stumbled across another patent that seems to be a bit more “modern”. In this particular patent, it shows how the middle of the phone will come with a hinge-like mechanism that would facilitate the folding aspect of it.

Unfortunately the patent only shows the back of the phone so we have no idea what the front looks like, but presumably it will sport a full screen display, otherwise we’re just looking at a glorified flip phone, something that Samsung is no stranger to as the company has launched foldable phones in markets like China in the past.

So far there is still no set date on when the phone will be launched. Last we heard it might only see a release in 2018, and even then it could be a limited-run handset limited to 100,000 units and also exclusive to South Korea, but hopefully we’ll have more details soon.

The debate surrounding PC versus console gaming will probably never end given how different both platforms are from each other. PC gamers could argue that PCs can do more than just play games, and they can be customized according to a gamer’s preference and budget. Console gamers on the other hand can argue that they’ll never have to worry about not being able to run a game.

That being said, there is one distinct advantage PC gamers have over console gamers and that is the choice of hardware such as GPUs, where PC gamers with a bigger budget can afford better hardware that allows them to push their games to higher limits. In fact just recently the folks at Digital Foundry have put together a video comparing the graphics of Destiny 2 on the PC versus that of the PS4.

For those unfamiliar, Destiny 2 was launched on the PC just the other day, making it the first Destiny 2 game to find its way onto the PC. In the video above, Digital Foundry does an excellent job of comparing what the game looks like on either platform, comparing features like shadow quality, frame rate, textures, LOD, and more.

It is clear that the PC has the advantage here, but we should note that graphics is just one aspect of gaming, and that there are other factors to consider too, but if you’re going purely for graphics and you have the hardware to support it, it looks like PCs have the win here.
