ValleyCats manager says phone has stopped ringing - Times Union

Image
TROY — Tri-City ValleyCats manager Pete Incaviglia said he has several players on his independent-league roster that could or should be in affiliated baseball. But he hasn't been getting any calls from Major League Baseball teams since the draft happened two weeks ago. "I'm a little surprised that the phone's gone dead," Incaviglia said. "Where that thing was ringing every other day, and then after the draft, it just seems like things have kind of stopped." While that's good news on the field for the first-place ValleyCats (27-27), who swept the New York Boulders 8-7 and 6-5 in a doubleheader on Wednesday at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium, it's a disappointing silence for players who want to get another crack at the big leagues. The ValleyCats have sold eight contracts to MLB teams, most recently pitchers Troy Cruz and Eddy Tavarez to the Marlins on July 12, the second day of the

Another company fails to come remotely close to Samsung’s software update game - SamMobile

Update:  The Edge 20 series will receive at least two Android OS updates and at least two years of bi-monthly security patches — Motorola representative clarified in a follow-up statement to Android Authority. Original story follows: Samsung's been crushing it with firmware updates lately, and it doesn't seem to plan on slowing its pace down in the foreseeable future. Unfortunately — for non-Samsung customers — some Android smartphone manufacturers don't feel the same way Samsung does. And while the latter company is now offering three major Android OS updates for many of its phones, Motorola's firmware policy has just folded and crumbled, much like the new Razr (2019) did when faced with the Galaxy Z Flip. Motorola just took three new phones out of the oven. They run Android 11 and none of them will benefit from more than a single Android OS update — presumably to Android 12. It comes as a bit of a surprise yet feels like deja vu to many Motorola customers. Th

How to download Dragon City - Tom's Guide

Dragon City is a free social network game where players can spend time breeding and raising dragons as well as pairing them up for battle against one another. These fledgling dragons make gold to help purchase farms, habitats, and other aspects of a hustling, bustling city. The goal is to raise a colorful, magical city while collecting more than 600 dragons and battling against others in the Dragon Leagues.  This social-focused dragon-centric game has a large following among Facebook users and has a lot in common with games like FarmVille in that players can help other players succeed. It can be connected to Facebook accounts or simply played on the social media network, as players can earn additional Gems, or the game's premium currency, to purchase dragons and other items.  Ready to build your own city of dragons? You'll need to download the free app to your smartphone first, or head over to Facebook to play in a browser. It's simple to download Dragon C

Walmart Onn Android TV 4K Review: A compelling streaming box for $30 - XDA Developers

Image
For years, one of the main problems with Android TV was the limited selection of affordable streaming boxes. Google didn't have an answer to the rising popularity of the Fire TV Stick and Roku streaming sticks, and the few sub-$100 Android TV streamers that did exist (like the Mi Box S) suffered from poor performance and limited software support. That started to finally change last year, with the introduction of the Chromecast with Google TV and a few other devices. Walmart has also now entered the game with two Android TV-powered streaming devices, a cheaper 1080p stick and a 4K box. The latter has a super-low retail price of $29.88 (as of when this review was published), making it the most affordable 4K Android TV device currently available. The unhelpfully named 'Walmart Onn Android TV 4K' is a great device, but there are still unanswered questions about its long-term support.

How to Open ZIP Files in Android - MUO - MakeUseOf

Thanks to the advantages the ZIP format provides, file compression is common, especially where large file sizes are involved. From time to time, you might download a ZIP file on your Android phone. To read its contents, you must unzip the file first. Here's how to open zip files on Android. What Is a ZIP File? A ZIP file is an archive of one or more files compressed together using a compression algorithm. .ZIP is one of the many types of compressed file formats and one of the most common forms of compressed files you'll see around.

Hands-on with the Microsoft Teams "2.0” desktop app for consumers - OnMSFT.com

Image
Microsoft recently announced at its Windows 11 event on June 24 that it was working on a revamped Teams app that will bring big performance improvements by ditching the Electron framework in favor of Edge Webview 2. The company said at the time that its new "Teams 2.0" architecture would power the consumer experience in Microsoft Teams as well as the new build-in Teams consumer experience on Windows 11, with support for work accounts coming later. Well, we managed to get our hands on this new Teams 2.0 app today, which is currently in preview but already looks very promising. The well-known leaker WalkingCat shared a link for the installer back in May, but to our knowledge, the app didn't allow anyone to log in with their personal Microsoft account until very recently. Windows Insider MVP Florian B tipped us about the app earlier today and we've since been able to get it running on multiple Windows PCs without any trouble. https://twitter.com/flobo09/status/141524

Samsung debuts July 2021 security update, starts with the Galaxy S10 - SamMobile

Image
As expected, Samsung is once again rolling out the next month's security patch ahead of schedule. The July 2021 security update has been released for the Galaxy S10 series today, and if Samsung's recent track record is anything to go by, more Galaxy devices will join the fray later today and over the next few days, all before the competition even realizes what is happening. Identified by PDA version G973FXXSBFUF3 , Samsung's newest software release has made its way to Czech Republic, where it started reaching Galaxy S10 owners earlier today. Expect the rollout to expand to more regions in the coming days, but don't expect anything much out of the update itself, as it has nothing but security enhancements to offer. Expect the July 2021 security update to hit more Galaxy devices soon If the July 2021 security update still hasn't hit your Galaxy S10, there are a couple of options for you to consider. You can, of course, wait for the update to reach you naturally. Alter
