However, on 26 August 2020, it announced that some of these periods would be extended due to the coronavirus pandemic. This was primarily targeted towards business customers, who rely on Windows 10 for effective remote working. Despite this, many older versions of Windows 10 are now reaching end of support: Version 1903 (May 2019 update) – will no longer be updated after 8 December across all editionsVersion 1809 (November 2018 update) – will no longer be updated after 10 November for Home and Pro customers....

Sin embargo, a los dos estándares que ya existían, se les ha unido una tercera opción denominada wifi 6E, a la que la industria ha dado en renombrar como “la mayor actualización del sistema wifi de las últimas dos décadas”. Según esto, la mayoría de los usuarios que deciden adquirir un nuevo router para sus hogares, se ven en la tesitura de tener que decidir qué modalidad es mejor para cada caso, con marcas como TP-Link, Netgear, Asus, AVM, D-Link y un largo etcétera....

The most common bug affects Event Viewer, Windows 10’s tool for monitoring application and system information. It’s a great way to detect any issues early, but many people on version KB5013942 can’t open the app at all. Even if you’re one of the lucky few, Event Viewer seems prone to crashing once you start using it. Most people can live without Event Viewer until the next update, but other reported problems are more concerning....

The initial late 2020 release date seemed a long way away at the time, but the ensuing coronavirus pandemic set development of the operating system back further. It also led Microsoft to consider other form factors, with the company announcing last May that it would come to single screens first. While the first Windows 10X-powered laptops are set to be released this Spring, one developer has explored how the software might run on a smartphone....

Folders are designed to help organise the list of ‘Pinned’ apps on the Start menu. Instead of being limited to only a handful, lots of apps can now be grouped by category. Creating a folder is as simple as dragging one app on top of another, although there’s not yet an option to name them. That’s expected to be added at a later date. Microsoft is also taking steps to make Windows 11 more intuitive for touch input....

The Xiaomi 12, 12 Pro, and 12X are all making it to the global market, with prices starting from $649. Chris has reviewed the Xiaomi 12, while Dom tested the 12 Pro, so the pair of them are ready to share their thoughts on Xiaomi’s latest and decide if they can compete in an already competitive 2022 market.

Electric bikes such as the QiCycle are perfectly legal for use on roads and cycle paths in the UK, provided the rider is over 14. With a 250W motor and top speed of 20km/hour the Xiaomi is treated under UK law as a normal bicycle, so you don’t need to have a driving licence, pay road tax or register the bike. We do advise taking safety precautions such as wearing a helmet, of course....

Take a look at our Oculus Go Review here. This is an interesting move for YouTube and Google as the ability to access a YouTube app was a key selling point for its Daydream VR Platform. There will now be an official YouTube VR app for all Oculus mobile headsets across their entire range, which comes after Google’s announcement to expand it’s VR app to support Samsung’s Gear VR device earlier in the summer....

“Worst” can mean a lot of things, of course – there is no objective worst, and one player’s poison might well be another’s nectar. But if we accept “worst” as encompassing games which are technical failures, games which are enormous disappointments after crazy degrees of hype and games which are just plain obnoxious, there’s no shortage of wonders/horrors to talk about. Here are just a few of our favourite terrible things....

It takes an equally basic Intel Celeron processor and low-grade 15in display, although a one-terabyte hard disk, DVD drive and 8GB of memory may help distract from other shortcomings. As with all laptops running Windows 8.1 Home or Pro, you’ll be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free.

Like Cozmo, Vector is an orange-sized robot that moves around on tracks, has fork-lift-like arms on the front and a large head between them that’s almost entirely screen. On the outside, little is different except for the colour palette and some other minor visual changes – but what’s inside is completely new both in capability and purpose. In short, whereas Cozmo wants to help your children learn programming, Vector wants to be somewhere between a friend and pet....

In this case, Nintendo has turned its attention towards fighting games, tweaking the formula just enough to end up with a primary colour-drenched boxing game starring an Egyptian mummy, a robot dog, and a green blob, who all fight with mechanised extendable arms. So, Arms is weird. But is it any good? Find out in our review. Where can I buy Arms? Arms is a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and came out on June 16 2017....

If your budget is closer to £65, the Asus GeForce GT 740 OC pushes the hardware ceiling that bit higher than the likes of the Radeon R7 240 and GeForce GT 730. One quick perusal of the specs, and it’ll probably be the memory sub-system that impresses the most. For a start, the GDDR3 RAM has been jettisoned in favour of ultra-fast GDDR5. These memory chips allow for faster speeds, giving the manufacturers the chance to wring far more performance from the cards....

There’s a fair selection of ports around the black plastic casework. Three USB ports, all USB 3.0, is a useful number to have ranged on the left side, when many budget designs are limited to a mixture of older USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0. Alongside these an olde VGA video port plus HDMI port for modern TVs and monitors. Also here you’ll find a gigabit ethernet port and headphone jack; further up is a large exhaust vent from which you can feel a steady draught of warm air flowing....
