  1. Microsoft is beginning to phase out 32-bit support for Windows 10

    32bit windows 10 should never have been released.

  2. I was able to get in with some refreshes, but my favorite part is when it drops me into a foreign language to do it. Fortunately, I have taken advantage of the Free Games feature enough times that I already knew what buttons to click and so I was able to get my free copy "purchased" even in Chinese.

  3. Apple might be making a nine-inch iPad Mini next year

    If they did a Pro but at Mini size, I'd be all over that

  4. Apple might be making a nine-inch iPad Mini next year

    They need stop changing sizes every time they come out with something. All this changing to whatever is cheaper (at the time) is creating a lot of confusion in iPads/Mac arena (mostly in the Mac arena).

  6. Huawei trade ban with the US extended through 2021

    Does anyone really believe that this has to do with controlling companies or security? It's all about US companies not being able to compete and losing market share.

  8. Microsoft is beginning to phase out 32-bit support for Windows 10

    That's not going to happen for a long, long time with 64 bit processors theoretically being able to access 17,179,869,184 GB of RAM, vs. 4GB on a 32 bit processor.

    That look 100% better than anything the xbox X video showed off. Hope it's real. This is the type of graphics I expect for a next-gen console.

  19. Huawei trade ban with the US extended through 2021

    National emergency? Hardly. Was 9/11 a national emergency? What about that hurricane that wiped out New Orleans? What about the amount of starving people, or Mexicans "coming over here and stealing our jobs"? No, he decides to continue this stupid tirade on Huawei. Not bothering to chase Apple, Amazon, Google, Tesla or the hundreds of TV stars that are paying very little in tax.

  20. I just purchased the Redmi Note 8 Pro myself.. and for a mid-range phone, I have nothing to complain about. Lots of features, (I do like the Game Boost feature) some I might not ever use like Second Space, Dual apps.. etc. And with this phone, if you miss an OTA update/upgrade, you can download the files directly from the Xiaomi servers... which I did to upgrade it to Android 10. Not bad for under $200.

  22. Huawei trade ban with the US extended through 2021

    Huawei is a pretty massive tech company with expertise and production in a variety of fields/markets. I'm wondering if this move is to limit companies US govt can't control. Nevertheless, I hope this prompts huawei to continue to develop Google/Qualcomm free solutions, and contribute to Open Source projects.

  23. E does stand for Embedded. OEMs who use these for laptops should be taken out back and shot. :: cough cough :: HP :: cough :: Walmart :: cough :: My daughter has been running a HP laptop she bought, must be 4 or 5 years ago now? It has an AMD E1-6010 in it, and initially shipped with 2GB of RAM. I have since upped it to 8GB, but Windows 10 is a dog on it. I think opening Notepad spikes the CPU to 100% lol. That CPU has a benchmark score of 538. The slowest computer in my house that i use is my voice mail server which is an intel nuc Celeron 840 ..and it's score is 933

  24. 32-bit Apps will still run on 64-bit Windows (ARM or Intel), so no change there. This announcement is about the OS, not the Apps. It's all about RAM. A 32-bit OS can only access 4GB of RAM, which isn't much in 2020. The amount left available to running Apps will be less than that (after the OS takes some), and multitasking many Apps at once will be a problem. A 32-bit App can only access 4GB of RAM, but the PC itself can have more. So running many Apps at once is easy.

  25. For me, this is the biggest gaming news I've heard all year. Mafia 1. Absolute masterpiece. I still have the original (From original retail CDs) PC version installed on my current PC. Can't wait. I just hope it doesn't get delayed and we're all still alive in August. ;-)

  29. The OnePlus 8 Pro's color filter camera can see through plastic objects

    Sony released a video camera in the early 2000s that had a "super IR" feature for better visibility in low light. I bought said video camera for my nephew to use at my wedding. Turns out, if you used the feature in daylight, it could see through certain layers of fabrics. So, this yielded unusable video because: 1) It was all green-tinted akin to a light nightvision effect 2) You could see which ladies opted to not have a visible panty-line

  30. Interesting effect, and could be useful for some applications. BTW, pretty much all camera sensors can see IR leds. It's a handy way to quickly check if your remote control is working.

  31. It's clearly not a simple "color filter" camera. To achieve such thing the sensor has to be able to poke very specific light range and not something you can just do via software filter or something.

  32. Rapper 6ix9ine has $200k charity donation rejected

    I think if he truly cared about the plight of the No Kid Hungry campaign he could have done it anonymously, seems to me like a failed PR stunt. I give to charity every month but I don't make a song and dance about it, and I don't share such things on Facebook.

  34. Huawei trade ban with the US extended through 2021

    It's just fear from the US hawks, in the 1980's, the US went after Japan because they saw them as a threat, after that, they went after the EU because they saw them as a threat and that tug of war has been raging for decades with no winners, now the US are going after China. It's clear to see what it's all about, any power that is a threat to the US, the US doesn't like, the security issues is an excuse to push their agenda, it's the sign of a declining power not being able to get it's way around the world any more and it's going to get a lot worse for the US once this virus is finished with us because it's clear there is a shift from west to east, the economic fallout of this virus is speeding that up. At a time the US needs friends like the EU, they are messing that up lol.

    Yep, just like you, I'm one of the few gamers that didn't buy GTA 5 yet lol, I've been waiting for it to drop to a decent price point which it didn't do until now and now I have no excuse in not giving it ago with it being free apart from that error message we are all getting but they'll fix that in a few hours or by tomorrow.

  40. 20H1 has new features. https://www.google.com/amp/s/w...ving-spring-2020/amp/" rel="external nofollow">https://www.google.com/amp/s/w...-arriving-spring-2020/amp/" rel="external nofollow">https://www.google.com/amp/s/w...e-arriving-spring-2020/amp/ Is this another one of those cases of, “I don’t care about those things, therefore they aren’t new features”? Oh come on, are the GPU temperature and the hard disk type considered new features? Apart from WSL 2, and those two, everything else came with 19H2 in which they proved they can have UI-wide changes through service updates. When you have a pool of decade old features in the planning (ability to hook to Ribbon UI, pin separate taskbar items in multi-monitor setups, provide the successor of NTFS, rectify registry, redesign File Explorer), and other Windows 10 specific pending tasks (streamline context menus, provide Sets, complete Control Panel migration etc.) and you keep offering build after build with bug fixes for 1,5 year straight, then what does it mean if not that they did what they have already done a trillion times in the past: abandoned ship? If they just want to release bug fixes, fine. What's the point of insider program and full system updates, though? Whether you, I, or anyone else likes it or not: something that was not there before, but is now, is defined as a feature. Personally? I rather see them clean up the mess they already have before adding any new huge features.Still dealing with two control panels, still dealing with an inconsistent UI, still dealing with risky updates....

  42. I've had AMD E-450 and it wasn't that bad. I knew it was low end so I didn't have unrealistic expectations. Biggest problem with these was that Microsoft treated them like dog ######. Same with browsers. So in the end you had CPU with capable GPU that didn't really do anything with it, causing trivial things like accelerating god damn Youtube video a non existent thing. Shifting video decode from GPU to dual core CPU meant the thing struggled with everything in the end. If anyone gave a damn about it, it would still be decent for basic stuff like Youtube, office stuff and things like that.

  43. Epic Games shows off Unreal Engine 5 on the PlayStation 5

    There's something about the unreal engine that makes my eyes hurt, and this is no different. Their blurring is terrible, especially the motion blur on top of it. They probably have other post processing effects hurting things too.

  44. That's strange. This machine is a Studio 1737 with 4G ram and it runs just like it did in 2008. I'm not willing to give it up because it has a full sized professional keyboard. I have thought about adding more ram, but the 4G DDR2 sticks cost like $130 per. And it doesn't need it. Windows 10 runs just fine in 4 gigs.

  47. Elon Musk defies lockdown order and asks to be arrested

    Yeah. You know, I thought the doctors and nurses, and retired doctors who went back to their jobs to try and save lives during this crisis were really going above and beyond. I recently realized just how inadequate the recognition is for their work: imagine you're risking your life, watching your patients, maybe a family member or friend, and colleagues getting sick and dying and wondering whether you're next. Meanwhile on the news you're hearing about these irresponsible ******s blathering on about how it's not so bad, it's a hoax, and "huuurr, MY freedoms are being violated, I'm going to do what's right for ME." And they still go back to the job day after day. WTF? They're the ones who deserve news stories and recognition, not this.

  48. Microsoft will likely be able to learn from Apple's ARM MacBook

    "It looked and felt exactly like Windows 8, which was flawed in itself" Flawed? Really? Are you one of those that said it's not pretty enough? Or just cry and scream "It's different!". And remarkably, there was no useful information at all in the article. If I was into something stupid and incoherent, I'd watch a comic book movie. I expect more from Neowin.
