On Thursday, July 25, Netflix released its updated app for Windows on the Microsoft Store, but the reception has been far from positive. The new version has left many users disappointed.

It only takes a few minutes on Reddit’s PC gaming hardware forums to see just how many gamers are worried their low-spec PCs can’t run the latest games. I’m in the same boat, with an aging PC that I’ve hesitated to upgrade for years, often spending my extra cash on vacations or the occasional Funko Pop for my car’s dashboard instead. From my own experience, I’ve learned that waiting for forum answers to questions like “Can my PC run this game?” is a waste of time. Forums are great, but PC specs are so specific that finding someone with a…

Secure Boot is a critical component of modern computer security, integrated into millions of PCs to prevent unverified software from loading via UEFI. It relies on cryptographic signatures in hardware components to ensure only trusted code runs on your PC. When these cryptographic keys are leaked, the consequences can be devastating.
