[ad_1] The company stressed that it had seen “no exploitation” ahead of the patch, but though it was “highly likely” that malware writers would use the security hole. Some systems that have Network Level Authentication have a partial defense, since they require credentials before the flaw is usable. There’s no doubt as to why Microsoft […]

The new Android Q beta is a mostly cosmetic update
[ad_1] Dark Mode The most obvious new feature, which got a loud, welcoming response during the keynote, is Dark Mode. It’s not just a night-friendly mode that saves your eyes; it saves your phone’s energy, too. Go into Settings and search for “Dark” and select the Dark theme (as opposed to the Light alternative). This […]
With Android Q, Google is pushing for more elegant, standardized gestures
[ad_1] To Google’s credit, though, it’s offering users a choice. When new Android Q devices start going on sale later this year, they’ll all have the classic three-button navigation system and the new swipe-centric system we’ve been talking about. And to be clear, I do mean all new Android Q devices will have these options. […]
Alexa takes hands-free voice commands on Windows 10 PCs
[ad_1] Simultaneously, the app has also introduced voice control for Pandora’s online radio. You could see this coming. Microsoft has become increasingly comfortable with Alexa on Windows as Cortana becomes less of a direct competitor. Amazon’s addition of hands-free voice to its Alexa app is really just a logical extension of that warming relationship between […]
Chrome OS unifies Google Assistant and device searches
[ad_1] You don’t have to be quite so picky when you start a search on your Chromebook. Google has released Chrome OS 74, whose cornerstone is a reworked search experience that unifies Google Assistant, on-device and web search. Tap the search box and you just have to enter whatever you’re looking for, whether it’s an […]
Apple Aperture won’t run in macOS after Mojave
[ad_1] While albums, labels and the images themselves will make the cut, they won’t always have one-for-one equivalents. Color labels may pop up as keywords or tags, for example. Aperture’s non-destructive editing also won’t carry over properly — the Photos app will preserve the changes, but you can’t tweak them short of reverting to the […]
Windows preview brings Android notifications to your PC
[ad_1] The feature is gradually rolling out to Windows Insiders using at least the 1803 (RS4) build. You’ll also need a phone running Android 7.0 Nougat or newer and a minimum of 1GB of RAM. You can’t respond to notifications (at least not yet), but this could be particularly vital for Snapchat and other apps […]
Tobii uses eye tracking to keep people from peeking at your screen
[ad_1] Some additions are focused solely on making your life easier. The eye tracking can send your mouse cursor or whole windows to different monitors. It’ll also provide data on your screen time, your distance from the screen and the last time you took a break. You’ll know when it’s time to give your eyes […]
Microsoft quietly axes Windows 10’s long-promised Sets feature
[ad_1] The decision to re-do Edge using Chromium helped Microsoft make the decision, the tipsters said. The amount of work needed to integrate the revamped browser into Sets would have either required that Microsoft delay Edge’s release or else left it without Sets support for months. We’ve asked Microsoft for comment. Over the weekend, though, […]
Boeing explains its 737 Max software update
[ad_1] The aircraft maker has also produced a new PC-based training program to help pilots better understand MCAS and how to react when the technology is in use. It’s further promising to deliver a previously optional safety feature available for free. The FAA still has to approve the fix, and it’ll take time after that […]
