  Registry Finder adds concurrent search support

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 10:05pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Sergey Filippov’s excellent Registry editor and search tool Registry Finder has hit version 2.18 with some major additions. The big news is that searches now run independently of everything else. There’s no need to sit and wait for a search to complete: you can browse other parts of the Registry, carry out edits or other tasks while the search continues. This includes the ability to work with search results. You can examine and take action on the first results immediately, even as the search carries on in the background. You can even have multiple searches running simultaneously, each in their… [Continue Reading]

  Accountants are embracing artificial intelligence

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 10:03pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Despite the popular belief that artificial intelligence is coming to take your jobs away, accountants would love some robotic help to get them through the day. This is according to a new report by Sage, which says 96 percent of accountants are confident about the future of accountancy as well as their role in it. Despite welcoming change, more than two thirds of respondents (68 percent) expect their roles to change through automation, in the future. Here’s what accountants are expecting from automation: almost four in ten (38 percent) see number-crunching as their number one frustration. Thirty-two percent still use… [Continue Reading]

  Are bot-on-bot battles holding the IoT back?

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 9:45pm CEST par David Moss

  We know by now that smart home devices have the ability to make our lives more convenient. Moving beyond devices, some IoT providers are deploying bots, which use artificial intelligence to create hyper-personalized services that will take consumer convenience to a whole new level. Bots are a relatively new term for most, but this past year consumers have become more familiar with bots thanks mostly to conversations around chatbots. Recently, Wikipedia’s content-editing bots made the news too when Oxford researchers found that they were contradicting edits they were making to articles on the website. The bot-on-bot fights went unnoticed because… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft Spring Sale offers amazing deals on Windows PCs, Xbox games, apps, videos, music, and more

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 9:09pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Spring is officially here, and for many people, that signals the start of cleaning their homes. "Spring Cleaning," as it is typically called, sees people throwing out unused items, donating old clothes, and rearranging clutter. If you aren't in the mood for cleaning, Microsoft is offering a less responsible alternative -- shopping. The company's "Spring Sale" starts tomorrow and offers amazing deals on video games, apps, music, TV shows, movies, and hardware. There is great content to be had for Windows, Xbox One, and even Xbox 360. If you need a Windows PC, Microsoft will be offering 33 percent off… [Continue Reading]

  Merchants need to make payments a core part of their commerce strategy

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 9:06pm CEST par David Nunn

  Transactions are the foundation of business, but too often in our line of work we see payments treated as an afterthought. As a consumer, we’ve all gone through an online checkout only to find they don’t take our card or our preferred mobile wallet, spotted a product online and struggled to find a place we can buy it, had to leave an app, or, worse still, download one to buy something, or landed on a confusing looking checkout page that looks completely different to the rest of the website. As a merchant, we’ve spent time refining our websites to look… [Continue Reading]

  MicFlip 2.0 reversible microUSB cable [Review]

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 6:55pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  USB Type-C has a number of benefits over older connectors, but the one that might appeal the most to the average Joe is its reversible design. This makes it easy to plug a cable in, as you no longer have to guess which way is up -- unlike, for instance, with microUSB. It's not a game-changing feature -- considering Apple's Lightning offered it years ago first -- but I think it's pretty damn close to it. The problem is that, in order to enjoy that reversible design, you need devices that support USB Type-C. And, right now, not many of them do. However, there is a… [Continue Reading]

  London's Square Mile gets free Wi-Fi

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 6:37pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  The heart of London’s financial district -- The Square Mile -- is getting free public access WiFi, a new press release from O2 states. The telecoms operator also says this is a multimillion-pound project, one of the largest investments in wireless infrastructure in London, so far. O2 will be working with Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure, which was awarded a 15-year contract to build and maintain City of London’s wireless network. The network itself will be fully operational by autumn 2017, and will allegedly be "more technically advanced" than those found in other global financial centers like New York. That means users will be able to… [Continue Reading]

  How to disable all of Microsoft's ads in Windows 10 Creators Update

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 5:45pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Pretty much since the launch of Windows 10 there have been complaints about ads and usage tracking in various forms. You might think that Microsoft would listen to complaints and consider removing ads from its operating system, but in fact more and more have been added. We've looked at the various ads (or app suggestions, app tips and so on to use Microsoft's phraseology) that have cropped up over the last couple of years, but the release of Windows 10 Creators Update seems like a good time to revisit the topic. So here, once and for all, is how to… [Continue Reading]

  How to use Windows 10 Creators Update's new Fresh Start feature to fix all your Windows problems

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 5:30pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  If you run into major problems in Windows 10, sometimes the easiest solution is reset the system. You can do this by going to Settings > 'Update & security' and clicking on Recovery. From here, click the 'Get started' button under Reset this PC and pick an option -- you can choose to 'Keep my files', or 'Remove everything' and the tool will reinstall Windows for you, hopefully fixing your problems. However, there’s a new, even better solution to be found in Windows Defender, called Fresh Start. To use the new feature, go to Settings > 'Update & security' and… [Continue Reading]

  Vault 7: Symantec says CIA hacking tools revealed by WikiLeaks were used in 40 'Longhorn' cyberattacks

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 4:23pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  The CIA's range of hacking tools revealed as part of WikiLeaks' Vault 7 series of leaks have been used to conduct 40 cyberattacks in 16 countries, says Symantec. The security firm alleges that a group known as Longhorn has been using tools that appear to be the very same ones used by the CIA. While it would be obvious to jump to the conclusion that the CIA was itself responsible for the attacks -- and that Longhorn is just a branch of the CIA -- Symantec opts for a rather more conservative evaluation of things: "there can be little doubt… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft's own figures show Windows 10 losing market share, while Windows 7 is on the rise

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 1:51pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  According to NetMarketShare, Windows 10's usage share growth has stalled recently. It lost some share in February, and made only very minor gains in March. The analyst firm’s numbers seem to suggest that Windows 10 has run out of steam. But that’s usage numbers -- people using Windows regularly on a monthly basis -- which isn’t quite the same as market share. If you want to know just how well Windows 10 is doing in that respect, Microsoft’s Windows Trends page has the figures you want, and they’re currently showing the new OS losing share to Windows 7.

  Inspect and optimize your Windows startup programs with StartEd Lite

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 1:46pm CEST par Mike Williams

  StartEd Lite is a free-for-personal-use Windows application for viewing, editing and optimizing your startup programs. It’s a familiar idea -- we’ve probably used hundreds of programs which claim to do exactly the same thing -- but StartEd does manage to include some interesting and unusual ideas. The program doesn’t get off to a good start. It has to be installed, as there’s no portable option, and the list of startup programs is taken from your startup folder and Registry Run keys only. StartEd will only ever display a fraction of the programs you’ll see in AutoRuns. What you do get… [Continue Reading]

  OLE 0day affects nearly all versions of Microsoft Word

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 11:46am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Security issues with Word documents are nothing new, but they have a tendency to rely on macros -- something which users have learned to become very wary of. But now security firms FireEye and McAfee have discovered a new attack strategy that takes advantage of Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). The attack can be used to infect even a fully patched computer with malware, and it is believed to be effective in most -- if not all -- versions of Microsoft Word, and Windows 10 offers no protection. The 0day works by using code embedded in a document to… [Continue Reading]

  Snapchat reminds Scottish voters to register to vote

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 11:05am CEST par Mark Wilson

  With council elections due to be held throughout Scotland next month, steps are being taken to ensure that as many people as possible are registered to vote. The Electoral Commission has turned to Snapchat to remind people to register ahead of the cut-off deadline next week. Using social media tools as election reminders is not a new tactic -- Facebook has been used for some time -- but in using Snapchat, an entirely different section of voters is being targeted. This is the first time 16- and 17-year olds will be eligible to vote in Scottish council elections, and Snapchat… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 11:04am CEST par Mike Williams

Both builds offer recording of full-screen, application window and rectangular areas, in windowed or borderless forms and with audio support.

You’re able to configure the video encoder, quality, frame rate, audio source ("what you hear" or your microphone), audio codec and more. Most of this is controlled via a simple toolbar, but there are also customizable hotkeys for capture type, "start"… [Continue Reading]

  Hackers release password to encrypted cache of NSA tools

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 10:24am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Last year, hacking group TheShadowBrokers released a number of NSA exploits into the wild, showing how the agency was able to exploit big-name firewalls. At the same time it also released a second cache of documents, encrypted and password protected. Now, in protest against Donald Trump, the group has released the password for the encrypted data. TheShadowBrokers used a Medium post over the weekend to express their disgust at Trump's presidency. The documents and tools released allegedly demonstrate that the US government, through the NSA, has been actively hacking foreign government networks, and reveal an exploit for the Unix-based Solaris… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 3:47am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When you want to play media in your living room, there are countless options nowadays. You can buy an Apple TV, Xbox One, Roku, or something else. Of course, for some people, a self-built home theater computer is a more rewarding experience. Thanks to Linux and solutions like Kodi, it can be easy to build a very capable media center machine. Today, popular Linux distro OpenELEC reaches version 8.0 stable. This operating system leverages Kodi to provide a well-rounded media center experience. Not only are there images for PC, but for Raspberry Pi and WeTek boxes too. "OpenELEC 8.0 (internal… [Continue Reading]

  Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth insults free software community, compares Mir to gun control debate

  Publié: avril 10, 2017, 12:38am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When it comes to Linux on the desktop, I am primarily a Fedora user. Sure, I like trying out other distributions for fun, but I always return to the wonderful Fedora. Heck, I even mess around with Ubuntu on occasion, although I am not a huge fan of Unity -- I love GNOME. With that said, when Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu founder, recently announced that he was killing the Unity desktop environment and embracing GNOME, I was quite happy. It signaled less fragmentation and division in the Linux community. My happiness was short lived, however, as Mark Shuttleworth has been insulting the free software… [Continue Reading]
