Google Chrome’s position as the leading browser has been unshaken, and Microsoft’s attempts to boost Edge’s popularity haven’t gone unnoticed. Since shifting Edge to the Chromium engine, Microsoft has employed tactics like making Edge the default for certain links and, as of this year, even “accidentally” pulling tabs from Chrome due to a data import bug. Now, a recent Edge update is raising eyebrows yet again, with changes that some users may find invasive. As reported by The Verge, this new update triggers Edge to start up automatically with Windows and prompts a pop-up asking users to import data from…

If you’ve been holding out for an OLED gaming monitor that won’t break the bank, this might be your moment. Amazon is currently offering a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor with a 2560×1440 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a USB-C input from the brand Innocn for just $430. While OLED gaming monitors rarely dip into this price range, you’ll need to keep in mind that Innocn is a lesser-known, white-label brand—meaning it’s more affordable but may come with a few compromises. Innocn’s 27A1S monitor has a lot going for it in terms of specs. With a 2560×1440 QHD resolution, it’s…

These games, now tagged as “Good Old Games” on GOG’s platform, have been adjusted to work seamlessly on current operating systems, ensuring they won’t fade away with time. The Preservation Program…

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…

Wi-Fi-connected security cameras have become a standard feature in many homes, providing peace of mind by allowing homeowners to monitor their property remotely.

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. These burglars aren’t your typical opportunistic criminals. They’ve become highly organized, employing lookout teams and gaining entry to homes through…

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%…
