It appears that Microsoft developers enjoy altering the Start menu, as we have previously seen. Ads are sometimes injected, and other times new features like an account manager are added. It’s time to make adjustments once more. The handy jump lists that show up when you right-click on app tiles in the Start menu appear to have been eliminated by the major April update for Windows 10, also known as update KB5055518. For years, Windows 10 has included this capability,…

About two years after its initial release as a kind of display-less virtual computer, Sightful’s Spacetop is now prepared for launch as a Windows application that requires a membership and may be used on third-party hardware, such as laptops with NPUs. Spacetop: What is it? Sightful’s Spacetop AR technology allows you to work on a virtual “multi-monitor” configuration almost anywhere by enclosing you in a massive 100-inch virtual screen through a pair of AR glasses from XReal. The main draw…

Google confirmed in an email to parents that the kids’ version of Gemini is formally in the works, following rumors earlier this month that the tech giant had plans to release a more kid-friendly version of its AI chatbot. This information comes from 9to5Google. In the upcoming months, kids under 13 will be able to use Gemini through a supervised account, and parents will be able to control their kids’ usage through Google’s Family Link app. Although it acknowledges that…

Naturally, Microsoft’s Surface was among the first to acquire Qualcomm’s incredibly efficient Snapdragon chips for its most recent iteration, as it is the industry standard for Windows-powered laptops. The 13-inch base model, which is normally priced at $1,000, is currently available on eBay for $599 in refurbished condition. It’s a significant, uncommon discount. Although I should note that the fundamental specifications aren’t as good as some of the competition, $600 is a rather decent bargain for an all-aluminum, stylish laptop…

What is the minimum speed required for your screen? If “as fast as possible” is your response, you might want to look into Acer’s most recent product. The Nitro XV250 F6’s “UltraSpeed” designation refers to its blazing 600Hz refresh rate, which is more than twice as fast as the OLED gaming panel I’m currently seeing and ten times the industry standard. But without making certain concessions, you can’t move that quickly. It’s a 24-inch, 1080p monitor, which is modest and…

About three weeks have passed since Nvidia announced the RTX 5060 Ti, which also included the less expensive RTX 5060. We didn’t have an official launch date for the 5060, just “May.” We now know it will arrive on May 19, the Monday after next week. The price in the United States is thankfully unchanged from the $299 announcement MSRP. The RTX 5060 Ti is a good 1080p gaming card, at least in its 16GB upgrade version. The 8GB version…

You may still have to wait a while if you’ve been waiting for next-generation graphics cards that are more reasonably priced before upgrading. After all, “affordable” is a relative concept. However, a Brazilian reseller revealed a new Gigabyte model, suggesting that newer and less expensive AMD cards are on the horizon. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is here. Before removing the page, online retailer Terabyte momentarily displayed a Gigabyte version of the as-yet-unannounced card without a price. This GPU…
