A huge part of this move can be attributed to the falling price of NAND flash and the subsequent decrease in the price of Solid State Drives in the storage market. This has led most users who are building a new PC in 2022 to just pick a fast SATA or NVMe SSD for a reasonable price instead of opting for a hard drive. There is still an area where hard drives are almost solely prevalent and that is mass storage in gaming PCs....

The reasoning behind is simple, Microsoft looks at GamePass as a substantial pillar to the Xbox brand going forward. Microsoft like many other big tech companies are at a convergence, where they all see the future to be subscription based. And this has been evident in other Microsoft services too, like Office which is now available only on a subscription. GamePass, which is a monthly subscription service for games, needs a constantly updating library with a healthy selection of AAA games to keep gamers invested....

Initially, the leaked Genoa flagship codenamed ‘ EPYC 9664‘ featuring 96 cores / 192 threads surfaced. This CPU is the fastest x86-64 ISA chip leaked to the market. Having an official TDP of 400W may make it unfavourable for a few, although one should bear in mind that Intel’s best offerings consume upwards of 700W. Then, the EPYC 9654, which is a slightly slower than the 9664, was presented infront of us....

In any case, AMD is going all out to tackle Intel on all fronts. Planned for September 2023, the Ryzen 7000 Threadripper HEDT CPUs will support 4-channel memory, 64 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes, and 8 PCIe Gen 3.0 lanes.

According to a Reuters article, a decision has been made requiring Apple to pay $19 million in “social damages.” The Brazilian Association of Borrowers, Consumers, and Taxpayers appears to have made the choice. Since the release of the iPhone 12, Apple has discontinued including chargers with iPhones in an effort to reduce technological waste and carbon emissions. The California-based company argues that it would be unnecessary to provide charges with each subsequent handset because users already possess iPhone chargers, though it should be emphasised that Apple continues to sell them separately....

Apple first introduced the butterfly keyboard as a technology that would allow its laptops to be even thinner. Customers, on the other hand, complained that Apple’s butterfly keyboards were subject to error and could be damaged by a speck of dust, causing the keyboard to unexpectedly repeat letters or fail to register key presses at all. However the keyboards were notoriously unreliable; primarily, any type of grime, crumb, or dust could cause a key to stop responding or become stuck, resulting in embarrassing typing errors....

According to Bloomberg, Joswiak said that Apple will abide by the legislation as it does with other rules but deftly chose not to say if the iPhone 15 series, which will debut in 2023, will have a USB-C port. Rumors suggest that the corporation will launch the new port before the EU’s stated time frame expires. However, before switching to the new standard, Apple will probably take use of the time it has left to use the Lightning interface on select products to earn some money through its custom port in royalty payments....

The error was attributed to an employee who accidentally typed an account number in the payment field, while processing the woman’s refund of $100 AUD (~$68). The transfer was done way back in May 2021, but was only caught in an internal audit in December 2021. Meanwhile the woman, Thevamanogari Manivel, had already moved the funds to a different account and spent $1.3 million AUD (~890,000 USD) on a five-bedroom house for her sister....

I’m an MP3 kind of guy, but I do understand the appeal that music streaming services have. Organising your MP3 collection constantly is a tedious task and not everybody has time for it. After the declining trends in buying singles and albums, it’s clear that users are inclined to use a dedicated music streaming service. Almost all streaming services work with a monthly fee that the user pays to have access to the music library....

Back in April, Musk put forward an offer for the micro-blogging site, and after much back and forth, the parties involved came to a mutual agreement. Musk had officially purchased Twitter and was set to lend his leadership to the company. He saw untapped potential within the firm and wanted to enforce fairer freedom of speech across the platform. Obviously, his pervasive tweets weren’t enough to achieve this, so he sought out the company itself....

The app has a new banner announcing its closure and removal from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store as of October 28, 2022.

Windows 10 troubleshooters can be located in the Settings app under the Update & Security section. For example, if you are experiencing issues with your Internet connection, you can try running the Internet Connections troubleshooter. However, sometimes the troubleshooter simply won’t start and it will display this error message: “An Unexpected Error Has Occurred. The Troubleshooting Wizard Can’t Continue.” This can be quite annoying, especially if you were trying to solve a problem that has been bugging you for a while....
