Microsoft unveils pride Surface Type Cover and skin


Microsoft is creating a special pride Surface Type Cover and skin for gay pride this year. The Surface Pro Pride Type Cover is available for preorder on Friday, priced at $159.99 and it includes a rainbow logo set to the usual gray Surface Type Cover. This Type Cover will go on sale on June 27th in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
Microsoft is also creating a skin that you can stick to the back of a Surface Pro that includes strips of color to really change the appearance of the device. These strips represent the 16 flags of all the different identities within the pride community. This Pride Skin will go on sale on Friday for $14.99 in the US, Canada, and Australia, but not the UK.
These new accessories are part of a broader effort by the company to push for inclusion for the LGBTQ community, and that effort also includes a pride theme for Windows 10 and Office, stickers for Mixer, and even an Xbox pride pin. Microsoft chose this year to push these efforts forward as the company looks to commemorate 50 years since the Stonewall uprising where the LGBTQ community and their allies stood up and demonstrated for equality.
“All the efforts of Microsoft are what we want to carry into our devices, so wouldn’t it be awesome to do something for the pride activities,” says Ralf Groene, head of Microsoft’s hardware design, in a video unveiling the new Surface pride accessories. Microsoft also has more than 4,000 employees marching in pride parades around the world next month as part of these efforts.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose.

We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
