  Windows 10 Creators Update Build 15019 arrives on the Fast ring, adds new features, kills Edge extensions

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 9:20pm CET par Wayne Williams

  After a couple of days’ delay, Microsoft finally releases a new build for Windows 10 Insiders on the Fast ring. We already knew some of what to expect of this build, as Microsoft previously announced the new gaming features, but naturally there’s more to Build 15019 than just that. As well as the new Game Mode, Beam video game streaming, and a dedicated Gaming section in Settings, the new PC-only release offers improved full-screen support with Windows Game Bar for a variety of additional games.

  Read classic computer and video game magazines in your browser

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 8:43pm CET par Wayne Williams

  The Internet Archive offers a wealth of fantastic ways to revisit the past, whether you’re trawling through classic animated GIFs from the nineties, running Windows 3.1 programs in your browser, or playing DOS, classic arcade, or vintage console games online. The latest trip down memory lane comes in the form of classic computer and video gaming magazines, something that really resonates with me as there are titles there that I not only read in my youth, but that I wrote for, or which were put together in the same building I worked in. There are currently 18,662 titles to browse… [Continue Reading]

  Satechi USB-C Power Meter protects MacBook Pro and other devices from charging damage

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 6:13pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  USB-C is one of the best innovations in the technology world. This single connection type can transmit both data and power, leading to convenient docking and charging solutions. The problem, however, is that not all manufacturers adhere to power delivery guidelines, meaning a third-party charger or dock could fry your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Today, Satechi releases a new product aimed at protecting your devices from damage. No, the USB-C Power Meter does not serve as a surge protector or fuse. Instead, the little dongle shows you the amps and voltage of the USB-C power source when you plug it into your device. In… [Continue Reading]

  Apple introduces Night Shift in macOS Sierra 10.12.4 to help Mac users sleep better

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 3:49pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The latest official macOS Sierra update that Apple recently introduced did not bring any new features to the table, as it focused on improving performance and fixing bugs, but that is about to change as Night Shift will finally arrive in the upcoming macOS Sierra 10.12.4. Night Shift should sound familiar to iPhone users, as Apple debuted this feature nearly a year ago in iOS 9.3. What is it? Night Shift is a mode that, when activated, reduces blue light to help you sleep better. In macOS Sierra 10.12.4, Night Shift is implemented like in iOS. It can be configured to turn on automatically, based… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 3:48pm CET par Mike Williams

  Freeware developer SterJo Software has unveiled SterJo Password Generator, a free tool for creating strong and random passwords. A simple interface enables choosing the length of each password and the type of characters it should include: upper or lower case letters, numbers and/ or special characters. Clicking "Generate Password" creates a single matching password. The Copy button sends it to the clipboard. Alternatively, clicking Generate List creates up to 1,000 passwords. The full list can also be copied to the clipboard, or saved as a text report. So far, so much like many similar tools, but what’s different here is… [Continue Reading]

  Warning: most Android VPN apps are insecure

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 2:32pm CET par Mark Wilson

  VPN software can be used to not only circumvent geoblocking, censorship and ISP blocks, but also to remain anonymous online. At least that's the idea. If you're an Android user who has a VPN app installed on your phone or tablet, the chances are that it is not safe. Research shows that the majority of VPN apps to be found in Google Play contain spyware or malware, leak data, or include tracking components. This is in stark contrast to what most people would expect from such apps, and users are warned to double-check the choice they have made. TorrentFreak shares… [Continue Reading]

  temps is a gorgeous weather app for the desktop

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 2:27pm CET par Mike Williams

  temps is an open-source Electron-based weather app for just about every desktop: Windows, Linux and Mac. There’s no installation required, just unzip and run, and in a few seconds you’re looking at temps’ stylish, app-like interface. An icon represented our current weather; there are background rain, snow and thunder animations; a temperature, four-day weather forecast, and status information including location, date and time. temps opens with the default location of Berlin, but tapping the top-right menu button enables changing this to whatever you need. Clicking in the forecast area displays a chart representing temperature for the next day. Clicking and… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter relegates Moments to a subset of the new Explore tab

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 1:52pm CET par Mark Wilson

  If there's one thing that irks Twitter users (actually, there are many things, but stick with us...) it's the disorganized way in which information is scattered hither and thither. Keen to get users to break out of their timelines and see what else it out there, the Twitter app is undergoing a makeover. The change means that the existing search, Moments, and trends are now combined into a single, more manageable Explore tab. It's a simple change, but one that will make life easier for Twitter explorers. As is often the case, it's iOS users who will get the first… [Continue Reading]

  Two-hundred-and-sixteen in a series. Welcome to this week's overview of the best apps, games and extensions released for Windows 10 on Windows Store in the past seven days.

  40 percent of British children use the internet unsupervised

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 12:55pm CET par Ian Barker

  Connected devices are a big part of all our lives and that goes for younger members of the family too, but of course connecting to the internet means risk. A new survey from Intel Security shows 40 percent of British parents do not keep track of their children's online activity, so they don't know when their children are online or what websites and content they're accessing. According to the survey of 13,000 people, 79 percent are concerned about their children interacting with a social predator or cyber criminal online, and 23 percent of parents say they've found their children visiting… [Continue Reading]

  Demand for security pros in UK rises by 46 percent

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 12:30pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  To say that IT security professionals in the UK are in demand would be a severe understatement. A new report by Experis says there has been an increase of 46 percent in the demand for both permanent and contract IT security professionals. The report, entitled Tech Cities Job Watch, says companies are putting more emphasis on long-term investments. There has been a 52.9 percent surge in demand for permanent staff, year-over-year. From Q4 2015, to Q4 2016, the demand had risen "just" 15.3 percent.  The increase in demand has also affected IT security pros’ salaries. Annual IT security permanent salaries… [Continue Reading]

  Swype keyboard for Android analyzes your texts and suggests emoji

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 10:41am CET par Mark Wilson

  An update to version x.0.1 of an app, you might believe, is unlikely to bring much in the way of major changes. But far from being just a bug fixing release, Android keyboard app Swype 3.0.1 takes predictive text to the next level. We've all become used to the idea of smartphone keyboards predicting not only which word you are currently typing, but also which word you might want to type next. Taking on board millennials and pre-millennials' apparent dislike of actual words and heavy reliance on emoji, Swype will now suggest emoji you might like to use based on… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook fights fake news with a trio of tweaks to trending topics

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 10:36am CET par Mark Wilson

  The problem of fake news has been around for a little while -- particularly on Facebook -- but it's something that has been thrown into the spotlight thanks to President Trump and his continuing complaints about the media, in particular about the size of his inauguration crowds. Facebook is one of many technology companies to announce plans to tackle fake news, and now the social network has unveiled its latest round of fakery fighting. Three major changes are coming to Trending topics: firstly, Facebook will no longer personalize news for individual users; secondly headlines and sources will be listed alongside… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft admits sales of 'expensive' HoloLens are 'not huge' but more versions are planned

  Publié: janvier 27, 2017, 10:23am CET par Mark Wilson

  Microsoft is not giving away too much about the sales figures for HoloLens but goes as far as saying it is "in thousands, not hundreds of thousands". With the augmented reality headset costing $3000, this is perhaps not surprising, and the company is quite happy to take the seemingly low sales figures in its stride. Speaking at educational technology event the Bett Show in London on Thursday, Roger Walkden, Senior Director and Commercial Lead of HoloLens, acknowledged that the price tag was partly responsible for the small number of sales. Interestingly, though, Microsoft is not bothered by what could be… [Continue Reading]
