Microsoft is making significant changes to its older apps, and users should take note if they rely on Windows Mail, Calendar, or People for their day-to-day tasks. As the company confirmed in a recent support document, these apps will be officially unsupported after December 31, 2024. After that date, users will still be able to open the apps, but they won’t be able to send or receive emails or create appointments, making the apps essentially unusable for most. In addition to these apps, the classic Outlook app is also being phased out, though on a slower timeline. For months now,…

Liquid metal thermal paste, often used by overclockers and PC enthusiasts seeking optimal performance, offers significant benefits when it comes to thermal conductivity. This metallic alloy replaces the standard thermal compound to facilitate heat transfer between a CPU and its cooler. While the increased thermal performance is attractive, it also introduces several risks—risks that Intel, in particular, is unwilling to overlook. An investigation by HKEPC (with a translation by Tom’s Hardware) uncovered an instance in which Intel denied warranty service for an Intel Core i9-14900K processor due to the use of liquid metal thermal paste. The user, who sought a…

However, some burglars are becoming more technologically savvy and are using tools to bypass these security systems. According to a tweet from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire division, a group of criminals has been using Wi-Fi jammers to disable wireless cameras before committing their break-ins.

Over the past decade, standing desks have gained popularity for their supposed health benefits, but a recent study in the International Journal of Epidemiology suggests that they might not provide the expected improvements. Researchers analyzed data from over 83,000 participants in the UK, examining the impact of both sitting and standing on circulatory health. The findings indicate that extended “stationary time” — regardless of whether participants were sitting or standing — increased the risk of cardiovascular and circulatory system diseases. Sitting for more than 10 hours a day correlated with a 13% higher risk of heart problems and a 26%…

Intel’s release of its Arrow Lake processors has stumbled out of the gate, as the anticipated performance gains have been hampered by unforeseen technical issues. Intel’s Robert Hallock, vice president and general manager, spoke on a Hot Hardware podcast about the disappointing launch, pledging that Intel would explain the underlying causes by the end of November or early December, while rolling out updates to address these issues.

Some systems, for instance, experienced memory latencies as…
