The ISS will pass over the UK twice on the morning of Christmas Day. If you’re elsewhere in the world, you can use the Explore and Find Sighting Opportunities tool on Nasa’s website to find out when you can see it. You’ll have to get your timing just right though, as it’ll only be visible for a few minutes at a time. According to the NASA website, the station will pass over the UK at 5....

Bumble, like Tinder, is a dating app that matches couples based on physical attraction. Upon opening the app you’re met with a series of photos of potential suitors, and you simply swipe to the left if you’re not interested, and to the right if you are. Tap the speech bubble in the top right corner and, if you’ve liked someone who also likes you, you have 24 hours to start up a conversation before the connection expires....

Improvements to the browsing experience aren’t stopping there, though. We’re entering a new generation of web browsers that can make people’s lives easier in other ways, whether it’s via dedicated privacy features or tools to save time and money....
Several users have complained in Microsoft’s Feedback Hub of unexpectedly high CPU loads, resulting in a noticeable performance slowdown. The company has moved quickly to test a patch with members of the Windows Insider Program, meaning anyone with a Windows 11 device can install it. All signs point to the problem being triggered by a process known as “sihost.exe”, or Shell Infrastructure Host. It’s used in the Start menu, taskbar and to power some graphical elements, including Windows 11’s transparency effect....
There’s also much more of an incentive for software makers to produce apps specifically for the Microsoft Store. Developers will be able to provide applications in the Win32 format (still the most popular) and keep the majority of the money made for themselves. As a result, plenty of new apps continue to be announced for the Microsoft Store. The Edge browser is among the latest, joining the likes of Zoom, OBS and Adobe Acrobat Reader....
All these changes are geared towards getting more people using the Microsoft Store on a regular basis. It’s your only option for downloading apps with Windows 10 in S mode, but those on Home or Pro usually turn to the web. It’s hardly surprising – many of the most popular apps simply aren’t available via the Microsoft Store. However, that’s not to say there’s nothing of value on there. Indeed, there are some apps worth installing on almost every laptop or PC....

Also see: Best Black Friday Phone Deals The Xiaomi Mi 4C looks on paper (and in the flesh) to be a fantastic device, half the price of the similarly specced Nexus 5X with performance that can be just as fast. But ‘can be’ is the key point here, as overheating issues plagued our review sample during our benchmarks. We’ll talk more about this in the Hardware & performance section of this review....

It’s increased the capacity from 25,600mAh to 26,800mAh (which is nearly as high as you can go for taking on a plane), and it has replaced one of the four Zen+ outputs with a QC3 output. This partially deals with both of our criticisms originally levelled at the Pro: that it doesn’t support Quick Charge technology, and that its maximum 3....
On Thursday, Zynga rolled out changes to its homepage allowing users to create an account on the site just for playing games without having to log in first through Facebook, as has been the custom previously. The moves are part of a larger company plan to further distance itself from Facebook in an effort to expand and solidify its own user base. Ending the contract with Facebook that has bound Zynga more tightly with that social network than others was about doing what’s best for the players, Zynga chief operations officer David Ko said Thursday afternoon....

She’s useful for many things, such as setting reminders and doing unit conversions, but enough of the serious stuff: she’s also got a good sense of humour. Microsoft has given Cortana lots of amusing replies when you ask strange or unusual questions. We’ve given just one response for each question, but Cortana actually has several responses for each so try asking the same question multiple times to hear the different answers....
We’re still far off seeing robots of the like depicted in films such as Ex Machina (or even I, Robot), but the field of robotics and AI is constantly evolving, with new milestones being reached all the time.

We’ve come a long way since then, though some gaming products are still expensive, specifically monitors. But you can still get a gaming screen that is highly affordable, if you are prepared to lower your expectations, both in screen size and the refresh rates available. A prime example is the Acer KG221Q, a 21.5-inch 1080p panel that supports a high refresh, and yet only costs £99.99. Surely, there is a catch lurking inside it?...
