TEAMGROUP launches hardcore T-FORCE CARDEA Z44Q NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD
If you have a cutting-edge PC with PCIe 4.0, you will probably want to get a compatible solid state drive to maximize your performance. True, PCIe 4.0 SSDs are largely for bragging rights and benchmarks -- you probably won't notice a difference in actual use -- but still, you might as well go for the best if the difference in price isn't totally obscene.
Today, TEAMGROUP unveils a new M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. Called "T-FORCE CARDEA A440," this speedy gaming-focused SSD comes with interchangeable heatsinks -- a very unique cooling option. Essentially, you can opt for the giant aluminum heatsink if it fits in your computer, or the graphene heatsink if space is tight
Everything you need to know about Windows 11 in under 3 minutes
If you didn’t watch today's full Windows 11 reveal -- because you didn’t have the time, opportunity or inclination -- then you can catch up on what’s new here.
Of course, as they say, a picture paints a thousand words, and a video is even better when it comes to conveying information.
How to get the first Windows 11 Preview builds
Microsoft took the wraps off Windows 11 officially today, and as well as revealing the new OS will be a free upgrade from Windows 10, it also announced that it will be issuing the first test builds to Windows Insiders shortly.
If you’re already a Windows Insider that’s great news (if you’re not you can sign up here), but Windows 11 has updated hardware requirements and there may be other roadblocks that prevent you from testing out the new OS.
These are the Windows 10 features Microsoft will be deprecating and removing from Windows 11
Although some people will view the newly announced Windows 11 as Windows 10.5, the truth is it’s a big change for Microsoft’s operating system.
Although Windows 11 will debut lots of new features, including widgets, Teams Chat and Android app support, some of the features and functionality you’re used to in Windows 10 may well be coming to an end. These are the key features that will be impacted.
These are the updated hardware requirements for Windows 11
During its grand reveal of Windows 11 earlier today, Microsoft stressed that the new OS will run faster, and upgrades will be smaller and happen in the background.
If you’ve found Windows 10 to be a little sluggish at times, that might sound like great news to you, but Microsoft has updated the base hardware requirements for the new OS, so if your system is getting on a bit it may not be able to run it.
Windows 11 will support Android apps through the Amazon Appstore
Although the Windows 11 announcement introduced lots of new and exciting features coming to the new OS later in the year, perhaps the most jaw dropping was native support for Android apps.
Users will be able to find and download Android apps directly through the new and improved Microsoft Store, but you won’t be able to grab your favorites through Google Play as it isn’t supported.
Windows 11 will be a free upgrade for Windows 10 users
Today Microsoft took the wraps off what we can expect from its new operating system and it’s a lot. You can see what’s coming here.
The first builds of the new Windows 11 will begin making their way to Windows Insiders from next week, although it will be a while until we see the makings of a finished OS as general availability isn't expected until the end of the year. What we also learned from the announcement is the cost of the OS and the upgrade options.
Microsoft officially confirms Windows 11 with integrated Teams and support for Android apps
We’ve had teases and leaks already, but today at a special 'What's Next for Windows' event Microsoft officially confirmed the successor to Windows 10, and as expected it’s Windows 11.
The new operating system is based on the now cancelled Windows 10x design, but it’s much more than that. As you’ve have seen from the leaked screenshots, it has a centered taskbar and Start menu, rounded corners across the design, no live tiles, and web widgets for creators.
Google launches unified initiative to boost open source security reporting
One of the problems with open source vulnerability databases is that each uses its own format to describe vulnerabilities and this makes tracking and sharing of vulnerabilities between databases difficult.
To address this and boost security, the Google Open Source Security team, Go team, and the broader open-source community have been developing a simple vulnerability interchange schema for describing vulnerabilities.
Tubi now boasts 55+ live news channels
There are far too many TV services online these days for me to even begin to name them. What started with novelties like Netflix and Hulu soon became no novelty at all, but a billion-dollar industry and live TV soon followed with things like Sling and YouTube TV.
But don’t discount the lesser-known ones. Just because they’re free doesn’t mean they have less to offer. Sure, you may not get a first-run movie or original content, but what you do get is very much still worth it.
Multi-cloud strategies set to dominate enterprise IT
Multi-cloud strategies are emerging as a dominant part of the long-term IT roadmap and Microsoft Azure is the most-often commonly cited public cloud vendor among respondents to a new survey.
Hybrid IT services provider Ensono surveyed 500 cloud procurement decision makers across the US and UK and finds that Azure ranks as the most popular public cloud provider among respondents (58 percent), followed by Google Cloud (41 percent), IBM (40 percent) and AWS (38 percent).
Millions of Dell devices at risk due to SupportAssist security vulnerabilities
Security researchers from Eclypsium have discovered a total of four vulnerabilities in Dell's SupportAssist software. As the software is pre-installed on the majority of Dell machines running Windows, millions of systems are at risk of remote attack.
Eclypsium says that a total of 129 Dell models are affected by the security issues. The chain of vulnerabilities that leaves systems open to attack has a cumulative CVSS score of 8.3 (High) and there is a warning that they "pose significant risks to the integrity of Dell devices".
New UK lab set to boost 5G network security and resilience
A new high-tech lab to speed up the development of 5G communication kit and help the UK diversify its supply chains is being launched today.
The SmartRAN Open Network Interoperability Centre (SONIC Labs) is backed by £1 million of government funding and aims to build a more secure and innovative supply chain which is fit for the future, less reliant on a small number of multinational suppliers and more accessible for new market entrants.
Legacy systems harder to maintain due to skills shortage
A new study from IT services provider Advanced shows 89 percent of large enterprises worldwide are worried they won't have access to the right IT talent to maintain and manage their legacy systems.
But the skill to modernize these systems are also scarce. Almost two-fifths (37 percent) of senior professionals -- including CIOs and Heads of IT -- admit their modernization programs have failed because they lack the depth and breadth of skills required for newer technologies like the Cloud. In addition 38 percent blame a lack of planning for the success of modernization projects.
Watch Microsoft announce Windows 11 [Update]
Today is a huge day for Microsoft as it takes the wraps off what it’s referring to as the next generation of Windows. We know -- thanks to various leaks -- that this will be Windows 11, but so far Microsoft hasn’t officially confirmed the name, or any other details for that matter.
If you want to be among the first to know exactly what Microsoft has planned, you can tune into its livestream at 11am ET (that’s 8am PT/ 4pm BST).
