“Smart” lights belong to the future in many places, as the test of the Hue wall switch module showed. Windows X, on the other hand, has none. The introduction of ever more and ever larger displays in cars was again extremely controversial. During the games, the zombies stabbed the mutants.
Smart lights are often quite annoying
Hand on & apos; s heart that the test of the Philips Hue wall switch module would go to number 1 in the article charts from the week, no one in the editorial team would have thought. The topic of smart alias lighting controlled by app or voice command has meanwhile become an important topic for the majority of ComputerBase readers – and this also includes how to make the smart light sources as “fool-proof” as classic, fixed-location light switches.
In the comments, the test on the Hue wall switch module also provided very interesting insights into the solutions in the community, which often also includes its own approaches, a lot of tinkering or even programming. But the fundamental question of the meaning and purpose of the new lights was also lively discussed.

How much “IT” can, must or may be in the car?
It was a bit more controversial in the test of MBUX 2, the second generation from Mercedes-Benz & apos; new infotainment suite for cars. Faster hardware based on the latest GPUs from Nvidia, more larger displays and fewer buttons – many readers are very skeptical of this auto trend according to their own statements.
Mutants vs. Zombies
The editorial team also dealt in detail this week with the two new games Resident Evil VII.I.AGE and Metro Exodus Enhance Edition (test), the zombie-occupied village was at the end just before the post-apocalypse. Possibly also because it offers ray tracing, but that is only optional and therefore, as well as the fact that it has been very well optimized, runs very well on most reasonably modern PCs. The situation is different with Metro Exodus: The enhanced version needs a graphics card with raytracing support, because the rasterizer tricks that are otherwise offered as alternatives have been deleted without replacement wherever raytracing is used.

In the news, Windows 10 once again attracted the most attention, specifically Windows 10 X. Windows 10X, shown for the first time in October 2019 on the Surface Neo with two displays, should be Microsoft's answer to this as a simple but more modern Windows 10 variant Cloud operating system Chrome OS from Google and after several shifts it will first be used on single-screen devices and later also on dual-screen devices such as the Neo.
Most recently it was said that Microsoft is planning two variants for 2021/2022. But nothing will come of it, it is now said. And if a project previously presented as a showcase project fails at Microsoft, many onlookers are set.
