7 worked because vista cleared the way for it. Hardware manufacturers stopped making the “vista capable” machines, the updated secure drivers were released, and the issue with software manufacturers making everything with admin privileges was sorted. Vista took the reputational damage to do what was necessary so that 7 could be beloved. -

Windows 11 is getting adaptive power saver by Taras Buria It appears that Microsoft is working on additional improvements for energy-saving capabilities in Windows 11. The company has already introduced several new features, including an energy saver for desktop computers, and now, more options are on the way for mobile devices. Windows enthusiasts discovered that the latest Windows 11 preview builds from the Dev and Beta Channels (the same builds that brought back a long-requested taskbar feature from Windows 10) have a hidden "Adaptive Energy Saver," which is expected to automatically kick in energy saving depending on what you do with your PC, its current charge level, resource load, and more. It is related to the "Windows Health and Optimized Experience" service, which was quietly introduced in the latest Canary Channel build. The new adaptive energy saver is now available on desktop PCs even when force-enabled. This feature appears to be intended for mobile devices only, such as laptops and tablets. If you have one with the latest preview build from the Dev or Beta Channel, you can turn on the new energy saver with the ViVeTool: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Run Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to the folder containing the ViVeTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:56401475 and press Enter. Restart your computer. Brandon LeBlanc from the Windows Insider team has confirmed that developers are working on the adaptive energy saver. However, he also added that the feature does not work properly as of right now, which is why we have not seen any official announcements: In other Windows Insider news, a nostalgic bug currently replaces Windows 11's stock startup sound with one from Windows Vista. Microsoft acknowledged this issue, and it should be fixed in future Windows 11 builds. -

The user is always the weak point at the end of the day. It doesn't really matter what service is used if a attacker gets in they can pretty much do anything. -

Zen Browser 1.13.1b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.
