Microsoft’s Settings menu within Windows 11 has taken a quiet, significant step forward with the addition of subscription information, though it’s still incomplete. Nevertheless, it provides a handy starting point to understand and manage your Microsoft subscriptions.
Within the Windows 11 Settings menu > Accounts > Your Microsoft account, there’s a new section at the top of the page: “Your subscriptions.” There, you’ll find the status of both your Micros
Throughout Windows 10’s life, Microsoft offered major feature updates in the spring and fall. With Windows 11, we expected those to move back to one update per year. But all bets are off after Tuesday’s release of a handful of new “experiences.” Microsoft will release new Windows 11 features when and if it wants.
Officially, Microsoft’s first Windows 11 feature update of 2022 is just a collection of “experiences,” according to chief product officer
If you’re into streaming your gameplay, we’ve found a great deal for you. Best Buy is selling EVGA’s new XR1 Pro external capture card for just $105, which is down from the MSRP of $220. Amazon was selling it for $150 back in January and it has been dropping ever since. Regardless, this is the best price yet for a new streaming accessory that was just announced during CES 2022.
A capture card is essential for passing a video stream from a source device to the PC that handl
Are graphics card prices getting you down? Don’t worry. If your GPU is powerful enough to handle 1440p, you can upgrade your gaming experience with a solid monitor. Right now, Buy Dig is selling the 34-inch Acer Nitro XV340CK 3440-by-1440 gaming monitor for $349. That’s about $100 off the MSRP and a solid price for a display of this size.
While 4K is all the rage, 1440p is an excellent resolution that hits the sweet spot between 1080p and 4K. This monitor will require a little
Not long ago, I tackled the long-overdue tech project of cleaning out my computer’s “Pictures” folder. It had grown ever more unwieldy after years of backing up my phone’s photos and dumping the contents of my DSLR’s memory cards, so I decided it was finally time to eliminate duplicate photos, blurry shots, useless screengrabs, and other assorted detritus. That allowed me to sort the remaining contents into albums without much hassle.
Why did my Pictures folder
The laptops hitting store shelves in 2022 will have a lot of cores. Intel’s 12th-gen Core processors for mobile, revealed at CES 2022 and starting to hit the streets now, pack up to 14 cores, and the desktop variants pack up to 16. This isn’t a record (AMD’s Threadripper desktop chip has up to 64 cores), but the new Intel Core line takes many-core processors mainstream.
Intel’s 12th-gen Core also pairs two different types of cores in one processor: an efficiency and
Almost anyone can make a website using free software. But if you want yours to look like it was developed by a professional, then you’ll need something with a bit more muscle — such as The Complete Blocs Website Builder Bundle, currently discounted by 70 percent.
The Complete Blocs Website Builder Bundle lets you create fully responsive websites on your Mac computer. And best of all, you don’t need to have any coding knowledge in order to use it. You just st
The second we saw Valve’s Steam Deck, we said it’s essentially a Nintendo Switch built for PC nerds, and today the company drove that home with a commitment that should speak straight to the heart of any PC building enthusiast. While most mobile devices (and far too many laptops) are glued-down, screwed-tight black boxes with no hope of at-home repairs, Valve is partnering with iFixit to offer replacement parts for the Steam Deck (and more).
“Today, we’re announcing
Google has released Chrome OS Flex, a way to take older Windows and Mac hardware and replace the operating system, turning them into Chromebooks.
Although Google is calling Chrome OS Flex an “early access” and “unstable” project, the concept is intriguing: Instead of disposing an old PC that’s nearing the end of its life, you can turn it into a Chromebook instead. Google has launched the new operating system on its dedicated Chrome OS Flex site, though you&rsqu
Microsoft’s spring update to Windows 11 is now officially live. New features include the first Amazon apps, a revamped taskbar, and more.
Microsoft will push the new features to your PC via Windows Update, the Microsoft Store, and new “experience packs” that will download quietly in the background and facilitate changes to the Windows 11 operating system. Updates to the Store will push new versions of Notepad and Windows Media Player, which will replace the older Groove M
