The good news is that we’ve scoured the internet and found all the retailers likely stocking the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT in the UK at launch and listed them right here, making it easy to check multiple sites at once at launch later today.

As confirmed by AMD at the announcement of the Radeon RX 6700 XT at the beginning of March, the GPU is set to go on sale today, 18 March 2021, at 1pm GMT, and given the state of previous AMD and Nvidia GPU launches, it’s likely that it’ll be sold out within seconds despite AMD’s best efforts to get stock out to retailers ahead of release....

This problem applies to both monthly security updates and Windows Insider Program builds from April, with ‘0xc1900101’ the most common error message. Frustratingly, Windows 11 doesn’t provide any reason why it can’t be uninstalled. On affected devices, the most common outcome is rolling back to the previous version just before it looks like the download will be completed. But as Windows Latest reports, users running virtual machines may see their software crash entirely....

A staggering 95% of ransomware files analysed for a VirusTotal report were designed to infect Windows. Android, the next most popular platform, accounts for just over 2%. Ransomware refers to malicious software which allows cybercriminals to remotely restrict access to certain areas of your computer. The only way to get around this encryption is to pay a significant sum of money, usually by a specific deadline. As you might expect, ransomware poses as harmless software, tricking the unsuspecting user into downloading it....

The Mi 5 sits at the top of Xiaomi’s line-up, and is a worthy competitor to the iPhone 6s, LG G5 and Samsung Galaxy S7, but at half the price. It lacks some features of those phones, such as an always-on display, modular design, removable battery, microSD support and waterproofing, but in all other respects this is a true next-generation smartphone with performance to match. Three versions of the Mi 5 exist....

Xiaomi is well-known for undercutting its western rivals with high-quality goods, so we were naturally excited about its announcement that it was entering the smart speaker product category with Mi AI. However, we were also concerned by how well the Mi AI would fit in with an English-speaking UK audience. Our contact informed us that the Xiaomi smart speaker would support English and should work just fine. Unfortunately, in our experience that is not the case....

Many of those flagships will get cheaper as they get discounted once they’re not brand new. Other changes include a new white version, and a promised update to Android Lollipop....

There’s no set timeframe we, or anyone else, can give for the lifespan of a particular PC component. However, most – motherboards, processors, hard drives, graphics cards, memory etc – should last a good few years. Pre-built systems typically come with a two or three year warranty and most components will come with a two year warranty. They will, of course, be out of date after a while and you may want to replace them with newer and better technology long before they need to be retired....

That’s according to data from Mercury Research, which suggests the growth was driven by strong sales of x86 chips. You’ll find these in consoles such as the Xbox Series X, which may have prioritised due to ongoing chip shortages. That may explain the slight fall in desktop and mobile market share – AMD previously admitted it has had to divert resources away from more affordable CPUs. AMD’s market share should be bolstered by the arrival of Ryzen 6000 Series mobile CPUs, which the company revealed at CES 2022....

The Asus N550JV tries to be a little different though, adding metal to the casework, the usual MacBook design element tributes like an expanded trackpad, and a dash of European style overall. Specifically, it has more than an air of B&O styling, helped along in no small way by a bold badge under the screen that reads ‘Audio by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower’. This refers to the on-board sound system which is based on commonplace Class D switching modules....
