Samsung Galaxy Note 20’s chipset might not be that bad after all

With the Galaxy Note 20 launch just a week away, all eyes will be on what upgrades Samsung brings to the table. While the chipset might remain unchanged, there might be a silver lining. While Samsung flagship like the Note series and the S series are powered by Snapdragon chipsets in the US and European markets, they come with Exynos chipset in Asian markets such as India. It often tends to lose out on the performance front against Qualcomm Snapdragon counterparts. However, a new leak suggests some good news in this regard.

How to Play a Custom Voice Message on Windows 10 Startup

To make your Windows 10 system play a custom voice message at startup, you need to create a Visual Basic Script in Notepad. It’s not as difficult as it may seem. We’ll guide you through the steps to help you accomplish this in the easiest way possible:
Note: I tried this method on Windows 10 PC but it should work on older Windows versions like 8.1, 8, and 7 as well.
1. Firstly, open up Notepad. You can do this by either searching for Notepad in the Start menu or by typing “notepad” in the Run Command line without the quotation marks.
2. Now, simply copy and paste the following lines in the blank Notepad file:
dim speech
welcome=”Welcome, Abhinav”
set speech=CreateObject(“sapi.spvoice”)
speech.speak welcome
You can change the “Welcome, Abhinav” message with a message of your choice. Just don’t forget to include the quotation marks.
3. You can now save the file. Save it with any name, but make sure you save it with the extension .vbs. If you try opening this file now, you should hear your custom message.
4. In order to play this message at startup, you need to move this file to the Windows Startup folder. You can do that by opening the Run command (or pressing Windows+R) and type “shell:startup” without the quotation marks.
This should open the Startup folder. Now you can move your file to this folder.
5. That’s it! Now, the next time you log on to Windows, you should hear your custom welcome message. Cool, right?
