I just tested my Google Pixel 8 Pro and sadly it does not (as of November 2nd 2023) support display out over USB-C. ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ‘Ž This is a bummer as I had hoped to use USB-C adapters/docks to output to HDMI for utilizing LCD TV’s for work while traveling.

Use Logitech M215 wireless mouse with Windows 11 [SOLVED]

Recently I setup an old Logitech (now logi) M215 wireless mouse with my Windows 11 laptop.
