Lilbits: Google breathes (a little) more life into the Pixel Tablet

The Google Pixel Tablet launched in mid-2023 as an Android tablet that you could also use as a smart display when paired with a speaker dock. With an 11 inch, 2.5K display, stylus support, and the same Google Tensor G2 processor used in the Pixel 7 smartphone lineup, it could have paved the way for things to come.

But Google hasn’t released a new model in more than two and a half years. And […]

A new version of the Tuxedo InfinityBook Max 15 Linux Laptop has an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series graphics, a 99 Wh battery, a 2.5K 300 Hz display, and up to 128GB RAM. https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-InfinityBook-Max-15-Gen10-INTEL.tuxedo #IntelArrowLake #TuxedoComputers #TuxedoInfinityBookMax15 #LinuxLaptop

Is it just me, or is Hyprland’s "auto" scaling a bit much?
On my 16" (2560x1600) laptop, Fedora defaults to 1.25, but Hyprland jumps straight to 1.60. It makes my screen feel like a giant tablet.
