Windows 11 is out now – and while it may be tempting to install it straight away, industry experts, such as analysts Gartner, are advising a more cautious approach. As The Register reports, Gartner research vice president Stephen Kleynhans refers to Windows 11 as an “overdue facelift,” which doesn’t offer enough new features or changes. “All of these capabilities could have been released as just another feature update for Windows 10.” Windows 11: the pros and cons for businesses We show you how to download Windows 11 Here's how to personalize Windows 11 In a rather pointed comment, Kleynhans suggests that by calling this new release Windows 11, Microsoft “has created a marketing opportunity,” rather than releasing a substantial new operating system. Because Windows 11 doesn’t bring any substantial changes, Kleynhans recommends that individuals – and especially businesses – hold off rushing into upgrading to the new operating system. Slowly but surely Kleynhans suggests that businesses should instead devise a timeline to evaluate Windows 11, then migrate to Windows 11 over the next year. Another option, Kleynhans suggests, is to run pilot tests amongst employees. “Enterprises should run small pilots in 2022 using the initial Windows 11 21H2 release, to develop familiarity with the new UX and understand potential user and support impact.” While Windows 11 isn’t a major departure from Windows 10, there are some differences, especially in the user interface, that could cause confusion. By slowly testing out Windows 11 with a few employees, you should be able to identify any potential issues (and sort them) before rolling it out to your entire workforce. This is a much more sensible approach than just putting everyone on Windows 11 at the same time, then trying to fix all the problems at once. We spoke to Kleynhans as well, and he told us that Windows 11’s user interface is likely to evolve over time based on user feedback. The company has done this before, and while any changes to Windows 11’s look and behavior “won’t be as extreme as the rework that happened between Windows 8 and Windows 8.1... it is likely there will be a few noticeable changes.” By moving your employees onto Windows 11 too quickly, Kleynhans suggests, they may have to learn how to use Windows 11’s initial user interface, and then have to get used to any subsequent changes, “potentially experiencing two learning curves.” While Kleynhans told us that “the risks of early adoption are small and likely manageable,” he believes that “most organizations don’t have a particularly compelling reason to rush this transition.” In the coming days, we’ll be going into more depth about the challenges to businesses that Kleynhans told us about. Analysis: Wise advice Taking a cautious approach to upgrading to Windows 11 is in our view the right way to do things. In our Windows 11 review, we praise the operating system for a lot of things, but there’s no denying that Windows 11 sometimes feels like an incremental update over Windows 10. These smaller changes mean we’re unlikely to see major problems when upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 – certainly nothing like the driver issues and app compatibility problems that plagued the switch from Windows XP to Windows Vista, for example. However, there have been Windows 11 problems already, so upgrading to the operating system so close to launch is always going to bring a degree of risk that your PC may encounter issues. For businesses with lots of computers that are mission critical, these risks are far more pronounced. Rob Metcalf, Head of Cloud and Infrastructure at ATech Cloud, spoke to us about how “Windows 11 brings in many innovations and lessons learned from Windows 10,” and that “as a result of these changes, many businesses will be forced to implement solutions to upgrade existing hardware firmware, most of which goes untouched, to allow the operating system to even install.” Metcalf is referring to the requirement for PCs to support TPM 2.0, a security feature that is causing some people with modern PCs to find they are unable to install Windows 11. “With the requirement for secure boot and TPM 2.0 no longer being just an option but instead being mandatory,” Metcalf told us, “companies will need solutions for making their devices compatible with the new operating system. The good news is most devices built in the last five years should support it, however many have out of date firmware.” Scott Riley, director of Cloud Nexus and an expert in Microsoft 365 and Azure, explained to us that he recommend home users to upgrade to Windows 11, as "the fresh clean interface is a really nice overhaul, and the majority of what's happening in the background is very much Windows 10." However, he told us that he "would encourage businesses to take a staged approach to rolling out Windows 11... We need to consider that not everyone in the business is on the same tech-savvy level. While there aren't a huge amount of changes, it's enough that some users might feel a bit uncomfortable in having it dropped on them." This is broadly in line with what Kleynhans suggests. "The good news," Riley explains, "is that there's no pressure to upgrade. Windows 10 is supported through to October 2025, giving businesses plenty of time to plan the upgrade." Considering the limited new features that Windows 11 brings, then, there’s not much to be gained from upgrading just yet. However, as with Windows 10, Microsoft will continue to update and evolve Windows 11 over the coming months and years. Advertisement This should help fix most of the early problems, while adding more features that will make upgrading to Windows 11 much more worthwhile – and this applies to both businesses and home users. When it comes to upgrading to Windows 11, it’s definitely worth holding off for now.

News outlet hardwareluxx has received an official statement from Amazon regarding GPU deaths surrounding its recently released MMO New World. Amazon says they have detected no game-breaking bugs in New World that would cause the game to kill RTX GPUs. Instead, it reiterates and confirms that it's a problem with GPU manufacturers and poor graphics card build quality. This news was also confirmed by custom PC builder, PowerGPU, who told us it has only dealt with customers using older model EVGA GPUs that were dying from New World, including RTX 3090s, a couple of RTX 3080s, and a single 3080 Ti. "In the last few days, we have received few reports from players who have had problems with their GeForce RTX cards. After extensive investigation, we were unable to identify any unusual behavior on the part of New World that could be the cause of these problems. EVGA has already confirmed errors in the production of some GeForce RTX cards. New World can be played safely. For players who have encountered a hardware failure, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer." —Amazon, via hardwareluxx.de While some might say that of course Amazon would deny culpability, New World should not be blamed for all the GPU deaths despite what everyone might be telling you. EVGA has already confirmed that its first batch of RTX 3090 cards built a year ago had faulty solder joints, which caused the cards to die under the strain of New World — and if it wasn't New World, it would have been some other game or application. We believe New World's game engine inadvertently stumbled upon some code sequence that allows certain Ampere cards to draw more power than they should. This would explain why only a handful of cards are dying from New World. If the problem was indeed from New World in general, then graphics cards would be dying left and right, including RTX 3070s and RTX 3060s, and Amazon would be able to replicate the issues. There's also the fact that no gaming laptops have been confirmed KIA from New World either. Laptops of necessity tend to have better power regulation and don't push the limits as hard as factory overclocked desktop cards. There's also something to be said for any hardware design that allows the hardware to be killed by software. If the code can execute, the hardware should constrain any power or thermal loads so that nothing fails. Frankly, believing Ampere graphics cards — particularly early models — are the main culprit isn't all that difficult. Let's not forget about the issues surrounding poscaps back when the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 were first released. Many Ampere cards that didn't have enough MLCCs were crashing to desktop thanks to power filtering issues from poscaps. This forced Nvidia to create a new driver update that reduced GPU boost frequencies to stop the graphics cards from crashing while gaming. Future models came out with improved power circuitry, but some of those first run cards are still out in the wild. What we currently don't know is what other models of RTX 3090s and RTX 3080s met with similar manufacturing defects. We've seen mention of a couple of Gigabyte RTX 3090s cards dying (while playing New World), and according to JayzTwoCents, one Zotac 3090 caught fire while playing the game. PowerGPU, a system builder, also says a single RTX 3080 Ti died, but that's it. All other brands, including MSI, don't seem to have any dead cards at all. There are supposedly some other cards, including RTX 3080 Ti and RX 6000-series GPUs, that have died from New World. However, that could just be the usual small percentage of cards that inevitably die for one reason or another. Make a million graphics cards and there will always be a few that fail within the first year or two, even under relatively tame use. Basically, correlation doesn't equal causation, and there doesn't appear to be a continued spate of GPU failures while playing New World. If one manufacturer does end up with unusually high numbers of GPU failures, it will need to take care of its customers. Thankfully, it appears more recent EVGA cards no longer have soldering issues. If you do have a GPU fail while playing New World, though, please reach out to us and we'll continue to follow the story. But for now, it looks like New World isn't the source of the GPU failures but merely a catalyst in pushing a small subset of flaky hardware to the breaking point. Update, October 8, 2:20 p.m. ET: Buildzoid from the YouTube channel Actually Hardcore Overclocking, has a Gigabyte RTX 3090 Vision that died while running New World and found the death was from a faulty power stage. He disconnected the bad power stage and the card became operational again. He doesn’t know is if the power stage was faulty, or if there is some other defect with the card. Either way, it further confirms that the card is at fault and not New World. Buildzoid thinks it could be a defect with the 3090 because most graphics cards today use the same power stages that the Gigabyte RTX 3090 Vision uses.

OnePlus 9RT launch has been teased by the company's Co-Founder Pete Lau through a post published on Weibo. Interestingly, the teaser posted by the executive also clearly reveals the name of the upcoming phone. Previous reports suggest that the OnePlus 9RT will launch on October 15. The new phone is speculated to debut in India and China as an upgrade to the existing OnePlus 9R. Specifications of the OnePlus 9RT are tipped to include Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and a 120Hz display. On Thursday, Pete Lau posted on Weibo a brief history about the OnePlus T series that started with the launch of the OnePlus 3T back in 2016 and has the OnePlus 8T as its latest model. He suggested that, unlike past models, the company will bring a phone in its T series with a new name, which is quite likely to be a hint at the OnePlus 9RT. The executive concludes the teaser by indicating more details to come on Friday. But in the meantime, Weibo poured cold water on the company's plans by clearly showing that the post was published using the OnePlus 9RT. This confirms the name of the phone that has so far been a part of the rumour mill. For nearly two months now, the OnePlus 9RT has been in reports as the company's next phone. It is speculated to come to India and China this month. Some certification sites also hinted at the development of the OnePlus 9RT for Indian and Chinese markets. OnePlus 9RT price (expected) OnePlus 9RT price will be between CNY 2,000 (roughly Rs. 23,200) and CNY 3,000 (roughly Rs. 34,800), according to a recent report. The phone is also said to come in three different colours. OnePlus 9RT specifications (expected) In terms of specifications, the OnePlus 9RT is rumoured have a full-HD+ display with a hole-punch design and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is also tipped to have an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary camera sensor. It is also said to run on Android 11 with new ColorOS 12 out-of-the-box. Further, the OnePlus 9RT may come with a 4,500mAh battery and include 65W fast charging support Alongside the OnePlus 9RT, OnePlus is rumoured to have the OnePlus 9RT Joint Edition in the works that may be exclusive to China and come next month. The Chinese company may also have the OnePlus Buds Z2 ready as its next true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds that could be launched in addition to the OnePlus 9RT later this month.

Po[CENSORED]rimage sharing platform Pinterest has announced a handful of new features as it looks to improve advertising and shopping on the platform. In a blog post, the company’s Chief Revenue Officer, Jon Kaplan announced four new rollouts: slideshow for collections, merchant deals, Verified Merchant Program, and Idea ads with paid partnership. While the first two are brand new products, the third one is an upgrade, while the last one is currently in testing stages. We've built a list of the best ecommerce platforms available today These are the best ecommerce hosting providers solutions on the market Also check out our roundup of the best payment gateways The slideshow for collection feature pulls various products from user catalogs, and turns them into short videos, or “collections ads”. The videos are lightweight, dynamically created and tailored for every shopper, Kaplan said. Explaining the idea behind the feature, Kaplan said Pinterest users love video and generally have bigger shopping carts, compared to users on other platforms. So, if they’re able to see more products, they might be interested in spending extra cash, as well. The “merchant details'' product is all about inclusivity and social responsibility. Through this feature, users are able to present their values to the world, such as “responsibly sourced,” “invested in good” and “inclusive”. “You can also highlight communities you belong to, such as “Black-owned,” “Latinx-owned,” “Woman-owned,” “LGBTQ+ owned,” “Disability-owned” and more,” he explained. Making purchase decisions The Verified Merchant Program feature, which finds vetted brands around the world and provides them with a checkmark on their profile (similar to what verified Twitter accounts have), is expanding to Austria, Brazil, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. Finally, the “Idea ads with paid partnership” feature, which is currently in testing stages in 15 countries, is a joint partnership between creators and advertisers. If a creator builds an Idea Pin and tags a brand, the advertiser can promote it as an Idea Ad. “People who use Pinterest weekly are 7x more likely to say it’s the most influential platform in their purchase journey, compared to social media platforms,” Kaplan explained “That’s why, as of today, we’re dramatically expanding our suite of shopping solutions for advertisers.” Also, why not check out our list of the best shopping cart software on the market

When you are the world's largest contract maker of semiconductors, it seems like you can say 'No' to the world's most powerful man, the president of the United States. Apparently, this is exactly what Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is going to do with the White House's recent request to disclose details about its relationships with suppliers and customers, including types of products it produces for clients, lead times, inventory levels and other information that is deemed confidential. The Taiwanese government is promising to support TSMC if needed. Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures "We will definitely not leak our company's sensitive information, especially that related to our customers," said Sylvia Fang, TSMC's general counsel, reports Nikkei. "We are still at the stage of doing some preliminary research and evaluating the contents of the questionnaire [sent by the U.S. government]." Record demand for everything electronics (which includes parts for modern automobiles) in the recent quarters caused a massive deficit of various chips, including chips for cars. The automotive industry — which involves automakers, their subcontractors, dealers and services — employs tens of millions of people worldwide and when an automaker has to stop production of cars due to lack of chips, it becomes a significant economic problem. The U.S. automotive sector is one of the most important industries in the U.S. and therefore it is vital for the country's administration to keep U.S.-based auto factories working, which in this case means ensuring sufficient chip supply. In a bid to determine bottlenecks in the global semiconductor supply chain, the Biden administration recently asked semiconductor supply chain participants to voluntarily disclose loads of information about their business and even threatened to force them to make disclosures using a Cold War-era national security law. "We have other tools in our tool box that require them to give us data," said Gina Raimondo, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, in an interview with Reuters. "I hope we don't get there. But if we have to we will." Supply Chain Transparency or Trade Secrets Disclosure? Since the U.S. automotive industry has suffered significantly from the ongoing chip shortage, the U.S. government wants to address the global chip shortage, and to do that it wants to understand how the global semiconductor supply chain operates, something the authorities call 'transparency.' This involved the U.S. Department of Commerce sending a questionnaire to chipmakers, intermediate users of chips, and end users of chips. It, unfortunately, included a lot of asks for information that TSMC considers confidential. Here are some excerpts from the document: For any integrated circuits you produce identify the primary integrated circuit type, product type, relevant technology nodes (in nanometers), and actuals or estimates of annual sales for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 based on anticipated end use. For the semiconductor products that your organization sells, identify those with the largest order backlog. Then for the total and for each product, identify the product attributes, sales in the past month, and location of fabrication and package/assembly. List each product's top three current customers and the estimated percentage of that product's sales accounted for by each customer. For your organization's top semiconductor products, estimate each product's (a) 2019 lead time and (b) current lead time (in days), both overall and for each phase of the production process. For your organization's top semiconductor products, list each product's typical and current inventory (in days), for finished product, in-progress product, and inbound product. Provide an explanation for any changes in inventory practices. Is your organization considering increasing its capacity? If yes, in what ways, over what timeframe, and what impediments exist to such an increase? What factors does your organization consider when evaluating whether to increase capacity? If the demand for your products exceeds your capacity, what is the primary method by which your organization allocates the available supply? TSMC believes that it cannot answer these questions without disclosing private client information and its own commercial secrets. "Customer trust is one of the key elements to our company's success," said Fan, reports Reuters. "If this is to resolve supply chain issues, we will see how best we can do to help them. We have done so many things. For the part of auto chips, we've tried to increase output and prioritize auto chips to a certain degree." The Taiwanese government recently pledged to support TSMC if the U.S. government attempts to force the company do something that could potentially harm the foundry's relationship with its customers as well as its business. "If our companies face unreasonable demands in international competition, the government will certainly provide necessary assistance and express concern to prevent Taiwanese companies from fighting alone in the international arena," said Wang Mei-hua, Taiwan's economy minister. The End Game? Modern supply chains are complex mechanisms that are hard to understand even for their participants. The global semiconductor supply chain is certainly one of the most complex (if not the most complex) supply chains that exists today. It includes high-purity chemistry produced in Japan; materials mined around the world; IP designed in the USA; process technologies developed in the U.S., Taiwan, or South Korea; production equipment made in Europe, Japan, and the U.S.; and test and packaging facilities in China and Malaysia. Even if the U.S. government determines the industry's bottlenecks, it is unclear whether it has the right tools to deal with them in a short period of time. Furthermore, plenty of economists hold complex supply chains operating in a market economy as self-healing organisms that tend to balance supply, demand, and investors' interests. Interventions from within can potentially resolve some issues, but if this is done at a cost of disbalance, they can do more harm than good.

The next stable version of po[CENSORED]r open source programming language, Python 3.10, has been released, bringing with it a host of new syntax and typing features that’ll appeal to long-time developers. Python 3.10 follows the languages’ 30th anniversary earlier this year in February 2021, and though it doesn’t have a long list of new features, the latest release includes a new type union operator to help developers write cleaner code. The developers have also polished the interpreter, in the hopes that the changes will make Python code a little easier to debug. For starters, error messages will finally point to where the error actually is, while making sure the error message is informative enough to help the developers take corrective action. Here’s our roundup of the best laptops for programming Get started with programming with these best Python courses These are the best IDEs for programming in Python However, the big feature of the release is structural pattern matching, which reportedly grew out of earlier failed attempts to add a switch/case-like syntax to Python. Structural pattern matching With structural pattern matching developers can match variables against one of a set of possible values, without relying on if/else/elif blocks for handling expression values anymore. Some developers suggest that the feature can be thought of as being similar to a switch statement in C and Java. Interestingly however, structural pattern matching in Python also enables developers to match against patterns of values. The feature is implemented via a match statement that “takes an expression and compares its value to successive patterns given as one or more case blocks,” and is designed to equip developers with an easier way to extract information from complex data types. The Python developers have explained and illustrated the feature in the release notes with relevant examples, and have also provided an in-depth tutorial to help developers get to grips with it. These are the best Linux distros for developers Via DevClass

PCI-SIG this week announced that the PCIe 6.0 specification has reached its Final Draft status, which is an important milestone that formally marks completion of the development. All system-on-chips compliant with the PCIe 6.0 version 0.9 specification will be compliant with the final 1.0 version of the technology. The only question is which applications will actually need to adopt PCIe Gen6. PCIe Gen6 will boost data transfer rate to 64 GT/s per pin, up from PCIe Gen5's 32 GT/s and PCIe Gen4's 16 GT/s, but will maintain backwards compatibility with existing hardware. The new technology allows data transfer of up to 128 GB per second in each direction over an x16 interface. PCI Express specifications have five primary checkpoints: Concept, First Draft, Complete Draft, Final Draft, and Final. The release of PCIe 6.0 Complete Draft (version 0.7) spec a little less than a year ago enabled big companies as well as technology developers like Synopsys to start implementing their PCIe 6.0 controller IP and PHY in silicon. The publication of the PCIe 6.0 Final Draft (version 0.9) specification marks a point after which no functional changes are permitted and members of PCI-SIG should start reviewing the standard for their intellectual property and patents. Those companies who have managed to incorporate PCIe 6.0 v0.9 support into their system-on-chips (SoCs) theoretically can start selling them as 'PCIe 6.0 Ready', yet they will be unable to formally confirm compliancy with the final PCIe 6.0 version 1.0 specifications since there is no formal PCIe 6.0 compliance program right now and no PCIe 6.0 compliance workshops take place. To make such extreme data transfer rates and bandwidth possible, developers of the new standard have to adopt pulse amplitude modulation with four levels (PAM-4) of signaling, which is also used for high-end networking technologies like InfiniBand as well as GDDR6X memory. Also, PCIe Gen6 features low-latency forward error correction (FEC) to ensure high efficiency at high data rates. While PCIe 6.0 is a major step forward for the interface as it brings in numerous innovations and dramatically increases performance, it will also present numerous challenges to chip and system designers. First up, PAM-4 is always expensive in terms of power and in terms of die size, which is why it has not been adopted widely beyond 100GbE and 200GbE high-end datacenter or enterprise-grade networking standards. Secondly, 64 GT/s is a very high data transfer rate and while PAM-4 with FEC will help to mitigate some of the difficulties, signal transmission over the printed circuit boards (PCBs) will have to be optimized for crosstalk, loss, reflections, and power integrity. Essentially, this means that not all SoC designers (especially in the client PC space) will be eager to adopt PCIe 6.0 due to cost and power concerns. Furthermore, implementing PCIe 6.0 on the system level will require complex PCBs and frequent usage of expensive retimers and redrivers over relatively short distances. All-in-all, while PCIe 6.0 makes a lot of sense for servers and specialized systems, it may be too expensive for wide usage in client PCs, so consumer-grade GPUs and SSD controllers may adopt it.

Android 12 is codenamed ‘Snow Cone', a Google executive revealed on Twitter. The trend of giving dessert names to new Android versions isn't new as Google used titles such as Ice Cream Sandwich, Marshmallow, and Nougat in the past. However, that custom was changed with the release of Android 10 in 2019 as the company then decided to use the numerical order for calling its new Android releases. Android 12 was released on Monday as the latest operating system from the house of Google — months after going through testing under various developer previews and beta builds. Google Vice President of Engineering for Android Dave Burke on Monday tweeted to announce Snow Cone as the dessert name for Android 12. This has made the latest Android operating system the first in the last couple of years to get a dedicated dessert-themed name — after Android Pie that was assigned to the ninth major release of the mobile platform. As noted by Android Central, the title Snow Cone first surfaced in February, though it didn't receive enough coverage as Google had abandoned the use of dessert names for its new Android versions in 2019. Nevertheless, the Android family did carry dessert monikers internally as Android 11 was apparently called Red Velvet Cake among Google developers. Android 10 was also suggested to be called Queen Cake by Burke — before ditching the dessert-themed naming scheme. A stable version of Android 12 was released on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) on Monday. Shortly after the launch, manufacturers including Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme have also confirmed the release of their custom skins based on the latest Android version. Google Pixel phones are yet to receive the update, though. Detailed at Google's I/O developer conference in May after an initial developer preview released in February, Android 12 brings the all-new ‘Material You' design language. It also carries new privacy options, a new approximate location permission and an on-screen indicator to alert users when the built-in microphone or camera of the phone is in use. There are advancements such as the iOS-like way to opt out of advertisement tracking that will be available later this year. Google has additionally optimised the overall user experience on Android 12 with better power efficiency and improved CPU performance. You will also get tweaks including smoother audio transitions and an improved notification shade.

Microsoft has now begun the process of rolling out Windows 11 to compatible devices, a large proportion of which will be used for work-related activities. Beyond a sleek and [CENSORED]ceous aesthetic, reorganized start menu and new-look taskbar, Windows 11 also offers a number of new features that will catch the eye of business users in particular. The new OS has clearly been optimized for hybrid working, whereby employees split their time between the home and office, with new options designed to allow users to multitask and pick up where they left off. Check out our list of the best office software right now Here's our list of the best productivity software available We've built a list of the best project management software out there According to Microsoft, Windows 11 also sets a new benchmark for performance and security, which will help businesses optimize for productivity and shield employees against an ever-changing roster of cyberthreats. “Windows is a driving force for innovation. It’s an enduring platform for each one of us to create. And it’s home for over a billion people to do their jobs, live their dreams and connect with the people they love,” said Panos Panay, Chief Product Office at Microsoft. However, Windows 11 is also likely to create a few headaches for businesses too. The confusion surrounding hardware requirements is yet to be fully resolved, for example, and it looks like users are already encountering a few bugs at launch, so businesses will need to think carefully about when to pull the trigger on Windows 11. Collaboration and productivity One of Microsoft’s main focuses in the run-up to the Windows 11 launch has been the new level of interoperability with collaboration platform Teams, which has been built into the core of the new OS (and has also received a Windows 11-flavored visual overhaul).

The best gaming monitors you can buy on a budget usually give you a sharp QHD resolution and smooth refresh rate, with a price cut to boot.

At Amazon, the Acer Nitro XV272U gaming monitor is now just $247.99, thanks to a $52 discount that's active for today only!

Plus, with a variety of I/O including Display Port, HDMI and four USB 3.0 ports, plus VESA-compatible mounting along with that ergonomic stand, this monitor will take pride of place in any setup. But be quick, this offer ends today. If you’ve been looking to upgrade the screen on your desk, this deal is a perfect opportunity to do just that. “With the shift to hybrid work, where work is constantly changing, we understand the importance of an operating system that is flexible, consistent, secure and works how you do.”

Microsoft is making it easier for users of its email service to share emails and email threads with Microsoft Teams in an effort to foster collaboration. As reported by MSPoweruser, the software giant has been working on this new feature, which allows Outlook users to share emails to Teams, for quite some time now. While it was initially scheduled to be released back in March, the feature was delayed for unknown reasons. We've built a list of the best video conferencing software available These are the best email services on the market today Also check out our roundup of the best online collaboration tools Now though accord to a new post on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, it's set to be available this month but how useful it will be for Outlook users remains to be seen. Share to Microsoft Teams Once this feature launches, users of Outlook on the web will be able to send a copy of an email or email thread complete with attachments to a chat or channel in Microsoft Teams. According to Microsoft's post, when sharing to Teams from Outlook on the web, a pop up window will appear that will allow users to confirm which channel or person they want to share an email or email thread with. They'll even be able to select whether or not they want to include any attachments with an email. From here, users will be able to start a conversation about an email or email thread with their colleagues right inside Teams chat. This could help Outlook and Teams users save time as discussing the contents of an email in Microsoft's online collaboration tool will likely be faster than doing so in a large email thread with multiple recipients. While this is an interesting feature, it will only be useful to those whose organizations use both Teams and Outlook. Regardless, we'll likely hear more about its reception once it rolls out later this month. We've also featured up the best hybrid working tech Via MSPoweruser

Microsoft is about to officially launch Windows 11, and in tandem Acer is rolling out three new laptops alongside the new operating system. They are the Aspire Vero, which uses post-consumer recycled plastic in the keyboard and chassis; the Swift 5, an update to the company’s thin and light design; and the Nitro 5 budget gaming laptop. The Aspire Vero, starting at $699.99, is made partially of post-consumer recycled plastic. Specifically, 30% of the plastic in the chassis and 50% post-consumer on the keycaps. Acer claims that the material in the chassis will help save 21% in carbon dioxide emissions when compared to laptops of a similar size made of 100% virgin plastic. The Vero has a… let’s call it somewhat distinct design, with a gray cover with yellow speckles. I don't mind it from the photos Acer provided, but the company refers to it as "eco-iconic," which is a bit overboard. The keyboard has the R and E keys highlighted in yellow and reversed, which is supposed to highlight thinking about recycling and reducing waste. But mostly it looks like a six-year-old hand wrote them on a lemonade stand sign. The Vero will include up to an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage and a 15.6-inch 1080p, IPS display, as well as both USB Type-C and Type-A, HDMI 2.0 and Intel Wi-Fi 6. That model will cost $899.99, while a cheaper version with a Core i5, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD will come later in the month for $699.99. Acer is also adding a new Swift 5, (model number SF514-55TA), which will be its first running Windows 11. It weighs 2.29 pounds thanks to a magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum chassis, and will run on up to an Intel Core i7 processor. It also features a 14-inch, 1920 x 1080 display with narrow bezels for a 90% screen-to-body-ratio. It will start at $1,099.99. Lastly, Acer's Nitro 5 gaming lineup will have two models that ship with Windows 11 at launch.There will be a 15.6-inch option with a 144 Hz, 1920 x 1080p display, 11th Gen Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM and a paltry 256GB for $769.99, while a 17.3-inch, 144 Hz version will have an 11th Gen Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for $1,199.99. Both should be available by the middle of October. Not looking to buy something new yet? If you want to upgrade to Windows 11 from an existing Acer laptop and are unsure if it's compatible, the company has put together a list of notebooks that it has tested and confirmed to work with Microsoft’s latest OS, which you can find here.

Well, no problem taking the test, but let's see how it goes during this period.
