HP's Bill Veghte bumped to COO, holds on to CSO role

Four months ago, HP's Executive Vice President of Software took on a new role at the Silicon Valley giant:

. That man was Bill Veghte, and today he's taking another step up the corporate ladder. Veghte is shedding the EVP title and moving into the newly-created Chief Operating Officer position at HP, reporting directly to . Taking over Veghte's old HP Software job will be HP newcomer George Kadifa. He comes from multi-billion-dollar technology investment firm Silver Lake, previously having held executive positions at IBM and Cisco.

The COO role is a new one for HP, providing further evidence of Whtiman's consolidation and reorganization of the company. According to HP's press release on the matter, COO Veghte "will help further accelerate the execution of the company’s strategy by working across HP to drive innovation and customer satisfaction" and will "work closely with Whitman as well as his peers on HP’s executive council to support key projects affecting the company’s operational success." In essence, it's going to be his job to make sure things happen, much like it was 's job to make things happen in Cupertino when he was Apple's COO.

What does this mean for webOS? We're not certain. Back when Veghte was announced as the Chief Strategy Officer, HP moved webOS under his domain. The webOS group had previously been under , with the CSO position kind-of-sort-of replacing that role. Veghte will still be the CSO in addition to the new COO, giving him a lot of responsibility at HP, but presumably also a lot of pull. Though , we can't imagine he'll have a lot of time to devote to guiding .

Update: We've confirmed with HP that Veghte will continue to directly oversee the webOS group even with his new position. So breath a sigh of relief, we don't have to learn a new name this week. So far.

      I  have just bought an LG TV (model LG 43UQ7500). I have tuned it via antenna, but the TV has a problem playing everything (it says "invalid service") except for 7 channels, which are public broadcast (but that shouldn't make difference - they are all DTV). The only thing that does help is turning off the TV, waiting for a few minutes and then turning it back on. Once I turn it off and then on, it stops working - except for the 7 channels. So it's a neverending process of turning it off and on to actually be able to watch the TV. 
      Does anybody know what could be causing this? The TV has been updated, I have set it up for my location (Czech Republic), I've tried factory reset....
      Thank you for your suggestions!

      Semiconductors can be found in an extraordinarily wide range of devices such as smartphones, smart home appliances and consumer electronics products. In the automotive industry, in-vehicle semiconductors are playing a necessary part in shaping the future of mobility.
      Especially, in the approaching era of autonomous vehicles, software will be essential for driving, managing and updating our cars. Self-driving systems, for example, employ object recognition software integrated with front-facing cameras and sensors, direction sensing software and speed recognition software – all of which require semiconductors to function.
      The Capabilities of Vehicle Semiconductors

      Global players in the chipset industry, such as Qualcomm or Intel, recognize the importance of the automotive semiconductor and are actively vying to lead in this rapidly growing market. Semiconductor designs tailored for automotive applications must possess the capability to operate at high speeds to ensure quick, reliable connection and data transfer between software-defined vehicles, as well as with traffic management systems, cloud networks and services, and multiple functionalities.
      In 2017, with an eye towards the future, LG and Qualcomm announced that they would be cooperating to develop an Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) and autonomous driving technology. Along with collaborating on these next-gen solutions, the two companies have been working together on the webOS Auto vehicle infotainment platform and a 5G connected car platform.
      Semiconductor Chips for Future Mobility

      Automotive semiconductors have a significant impact on various applications, including the diverse areas of vehicle communication, particularly in telematics and Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems. Telematics, a combination of telecommunications and informatics, centers on the Telematics Control Unit (TCU), which manages a variety of vehicle software solutions, from in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems to the connected car. Utilizing advanced semiconductor chips, telematics can deliver a range of performance benefits, such as enhanced 5G connectivity, better communication data management and security, and greater overall stability.
      V2X systems rely on the rapid exchange of large amounts of data between car-to-car, car-to-infrastructure, car-to-grid and car-to-object in the external driving environment. Automotive semiconductors help enable this ultra-fast data exchange, facilitating seamless communication and interaction between vehicles and their surroundings.

      Semiconductors also play an important role in enhancing vehicle safety functions. As the use of electronic components and software in cars steadily increases, so too does the risk of hacking and other cybersecurity threats. In response to this, automakers and suppliers are prioritizing the development of secure semiconductors that can protect vehicles and their owners from cyberattacks.
      Advanced semiconductor chips not only provide convenience for a vehicle’s occupants, but for automotive software developers as well; affording them the ability to apply a wide range of services and features, and making the whole development process smoother through a comprehensive suite of cloud-based tools.
      As a company committed to constant innovation, LG is planning to release a range of safety and convenience-enhancing products, along with related customer experience services. These offerings will facilitate exciting, new collaborations between car manufacturers and vehicle component solutions providers and help bring the era of future mobility significantly closer.

      It is easy to add a new item to the quick settings side menu on an lg c2, as long as the item you want is shown on the list presented when you choose  the + add item.  If you want to add a "shortcut" to an item that is not on the list then how can that be done.  Is it possible to edit the list presented?
      Specifically I want to add a shortcut to "subtitles on" which is buried deep in accessibility settings,  there nothing on the list of options presented to allow this.
