Windows 11 is finally here, and like Windows 10, it will be a free upgrade for Windows 10 users. However, the rollout will be slow and staggered despite Windows 11 releasing on October 5, 2021.
This means for many Windows 10 users. It could take months and upwards of mid-2022 before you get the upgrade popup (if your machine is compatible).
If you are like me and live on the edge, you are most likely looking to upgrade now. The good news, you don’t have to wait for Microsoft to tell you that you can get Windows 11. There is a trick that currently allows you to upgrade without having to wait.
In what has been the worst kept secret in the world, Microsoft finally lifted the lid on the soon to be released Windows 11 after leaks and teasers before the official announcement.
Funnily enough, the leaked build (which I did download) revealed most of what Microsoft had in store for Windows 11, and they still had some tricks up their sleeves.
Admittedly, this is the nicest Windows I have seen. From the corners to the newly centred start button, redesigned and simplified logo and use of translucency: Windows 11 looks beautiful. It’s very much inspired by macOS and ChromeOS and I am all for it.
I recently bought a wireless Eufycam 2 setup for our house for piece of mind for my family and our property. The setup process was a breeze, mounting the cameras and getting things up and running also equally as easy.
Everything seemed to be going well, until I noticed quite an annoying bug. The Eufycam 2 software seems to overexpose the first couple of seconds before correcting itself.
The issue results in the first second and a half being lost of the trigger event.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. It looks like after being dropped by Amazon Web Services and other providers, Parler is back online (sort of) with a message.
I guess step one of the revival process for Parler was finding a web host who would take them and handle the scale Parler was running at. I have no idea who is hosting Parler (maybe they are hosting themselves), but the site does not appear to be fully operational just yet.
At first I thought this was a joke. But the dirty bird (KFC) has teamed up with CoolerMaster to create the aptly titled KFConsole. It’s a high end PC that can keep your chicken warm with an inbuilt chicken warmer that uses the system heat, but also has some beefy specs for what would seem to many as a gimmick and thought was never real after KFC teased it in early 2020 after the ps5 reveal.
I have been absolutely enjoying Cyberpunk 2077, despite only finding the time to clock a few hours in the game. As an owner of an AMD Ryzen 3900x, like many Ryzen owners, there are known issues with core utilisation on Ryzen CPU’s.
I’ll be honest, on my 3900x I had not noticed really many issues. I have experienced frame rate dips in the game but assumed it was optimisation related to the game itself and not core utilisation. So, naturally, I was curious about this fix that someone on Reddit discovered.
I’ve had my eyes on an RTX 3070 card since they were announced, so too, have the scalpers. I was notified recently this card was in stock with my favourite retailer and I jumped on the opportunity.
There isn’t a lot of information out there about this card, so I thought I would share my experience. I didn’t seek this card out, and it was first come, first serve more than anything else. I just wanted a card and bought the only card my retailer had in stock.
My wife and I just sold our house, and for the next seven or so months, while we build a new home, we are renting. The rental property has NBN installed, and annoyingly the NBN box is located inside of the garage.
Googling seems to suggest that this is quite common, especially for NBN fibre connections. The problem with the NBN box being located in the garage is obvious: the reception sucks, and in larger homes, you get blackspots.
If you are not familiar with Marak on GitHub, you might be familiar with some of their work, most notably Faker.js which is a Node.js package for generating fake data.
Well, Marak is taking a stand and honestly, it’s commendable and I 100% support it. In a Github issue on the Faker repository titled No more free work from Marak – Pay Me or Fork This, while it might appear that this was prompted by a Fortune 500 company asking for things, the following Tweet might provide some insight.
Chances are, you and everyone you know or love has heard about the new iPhone 12 that Apple just announced at one of its cult-like keynote events. Now, Apple releasing a new iPhone is not surprising, it’s about as expected as the sun rising tomorrow.
While Apple has run out of ways to surprise and delight their customers as competitors and Apple find themselves on equal footing in terms of features and power, sometimes Apple finding themselves behind, they have managed to shock consumers once again and it’s not a new feature that has everyone talking.
