OnePlus 7 series will launch on May 14th

OnePlus is all set to launch its OnePlus 7 series next month. The company will be launching the phones on May 14^th at 11 a.m. Eastern Time. There will be simultaneous events in four cities: New York, London, Beijing, and Bangalore. The company is using the tagline, “Go Beyond Speed,” which hints at the possibility that we are getting a 5G version of one of the phones. OnePlus CEO Pete Lao previously said there will be a version of the OnePlus 7 Pro with 5G. He also teased the possibility of the phone getting a display, which rumours claim to have a 90Hz refresh rate. There might also be pop-up selfie cameras, too. OnePlus will be selling tickets to the events, but if you can’t make it in person, you can stream it through the company’s official channels.

Before it really rolled out to the public, the Microsoft Sets is no more. This feature is designed to keep your app data, sites, and other info in view through a browser-like tab. But now the feature isn’t coming back. According to reports the feature just “wasn’t well received or understood.” The team still wants to bring tabs into the Windows Console but it won’t use Sets as the groundwork.

The decision to kill it off reportedly came when it was decided that Edge will be using Chromium. The work needed to be done to integrate the feature into the new Edge would’ve meant a delay for Edge’s release or the feature was going to be unsupported for months. If the feedback that was reported is going to be believed, then the company probably decided it wasn’t worth the effort to do so.

The streaming service is trying out a “Random Episode” button on a specific Android app version (v7.6.0 build 19 34157). It shows up where the next episode shortcut is usually located. You can also see a shuffle rail on some of the service’s most popular shows where it’ll let you leap into the show at a random episode. This isn’t the first time Netflix has tried this, though. With Love, Death and Robots, Netflix tried a randomized viewing method, where episodes are streamed in four different patterns.
