Once you want to use an interface that’s only connected to one GPU (such as HDMI) you’re left messing with switching utilities like...
So back when I wasn’t as privacy conscious as I am now, I started using Huawei Health as it came with a device. Now i’ve done that for about 6 years. Started with just counting my steps to eventually buying a Huawei fitness band for the integration and to have even more data in the app. It’s a good band but… it’s still...
