U.S. Robotics Pops Top on New MAXg Products

U.S. Robotics is looking to rev up the lives of its customers along the information highway as today they announced a slew of new products which will be debuting at SuperComm 2005 this week. Among the additions is their brand spanking new MAXg product line, as well as the expansion of their existing wireless, ADSL and Ethernet product families.

The new MAXg product family, U.S. Robotics said, will provide wireless connectivity performance comparable to pre-N products at half the price of MIMO-based products. It will provide up to 50 percent greater range from a single MAXg router or access point. In this new family will be a four-port router with an integrated USB print server, access point, PC Card and PCI and USB adapters.

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams
Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
