The taskbar in Windows 11 is very versatile. Pinning an application to the taskbar means you have a conveniently located shortcut to that application. You can pin myriads of things to the taskbar. You can launch apps pinned to the taskbar with a single click. You might want, or even need, a frequently used application pinned to the taskbar. You might need quick access to files, folders, drives, or even specific web pages....

If you are looking to reset your Brother printer,find its IP addressfirst. Then, use that IP toload the Embedded Web Serverand reset it. This method works for all the Brother printer models having Wi-Fi support. you may alsouse the display panelof your printer. Simply navigate to theInitial Setup menuand complete the reset process. In case your printer does not have wireless capabilities or a display panel, the process can get a bit tougher....

Whether your system fails to boot into the OS or crashes constantly due to incorrect BIOS settings, resetting the BIOS should work. When you reset the BIOS, it reverts all your BIOS configurations to their default state—meaning all overclocked settings will revert, and the BIOS password will be reset. There are a couple of ways to reset the BIOS on the MSI motherboard. But depending on your situation, you might want to follow a specific method....

Linux 6.15 willbring supportfor 8,192 cores in the Turbostat CPU monitoring utility, if you happen to have such a system (viaPhoronix). The change was driven by an HPE (Hewlett-PackardEnterprise) engineer whofaced an issuewith their unnamed 1,152-core system since Turbostat wasn’t designed to handle more than 1,024 cores/threads. We currently aren’t aware of any server CPU configurations that can exceed this limit (in terms of physical cores), so this may be a custom or next-generation solution from Intel or AMD....

Huawei says its new data storage device, the OceanStor Arctic, will significantly reduce cost and power usage compared to traditional storage technologies such as hard drives and tapes, according to a report fromBlock and Files. The device is based on the so-called magneto-electric disk (MED) technology, which could revolutionize the storage market — if Huawei manages to produce such disks in volumes. However, the company is keeping details of the mysterious new type of storage product under wraps for now, so it hasn’t outlined the details behind the tech....

On Tuesday, Intel provided an update on the progress of its 18A (1.8nm-class) fabrication process, a crucial technology for its foundry initiative. By now, the company has a process design kit (PDK) version 1.0 ready, so its third-party customers can start (or even finalize) the development of chips in this manufacturing process. Furthermore, two essential Intel products using this production node have powered on, which is a good sign. “ThePanther Lakeclient processor is powered on and booting Windows, yielding well, in use inside Intel and ahead of schedule on product qualification milestones,” said Kevin O’Buckley, Intel senior vice president and general manager of Foundry Services....

Intel and the U.S. government on Tuesday officially inked funding deal. Intel will get up to $7.86 billion in funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce underthe CHIPS and Science Actas well as get a $3 billion contract under the Secure Enclave program from the Department of Defense. The company is also eligible for loan guarantees and a 25% investment tax credits of qualified investment of $100 billion. The $7.86 billion CHIPS Act funding will be used to support Intel’s semiconductor manufacturing and advanced packaging projects in Arizona (where Intel’s most advanced Fab 52 and Fab 62 are located), New Mexico (where Intel’s most advanced packaging facilities are), Ohio (home for Intel’s future fabs), and Oregon (the company’s major hub for semiconductor R&D)....

Intel fired yet another salvo in the AI PC war today with claims that itsLunar Lakechips, which are on track for launch in Q3 2024, deliver 1.4x more AI performance than theQualcomm Snapdragon X Elitechips thatMicrosoftshowed off today. Intel also claims incredible gains in battery life and power efficiency, saying Lunar Lake delivers the lowest power consumption it has ever seen from an x86 processor, equating to 20% lower power than Qualcomm’s chips and 30% less than AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U....

Intel’s embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) advanced packaging technology is already used for multiple products designed by the company itself, but its widespread adoption by Intel Foundry customers requires it to be supported by third-party electronic design automation (EDA) tools and reference flows. On Monday, Intelsaidthat software from Ansys, Cadence, Siemens, and Synopsys now supports its EMIB chiplet-to-chiplet interconnections, which is useful for various AI and HPC processors. Intel’s EMIB technology is designed to connect and integrate multi-chiplet designs in a single package in a relatively simple and cost-effective manner through the use of an embedded silicon bridge that connects chiplets....

Your Laptop’s trackpad offers you an efficient way to control the cursor pointer. you may navigate the entire OS and access all the files and folders using the trackpad. But, sometimes, it could abruptly fail to point, click and carry out its basic function. This problem is usually caused by misconfigured trackpad settings and corrupted trackpad data. Additionally, hardware issues can also result in your trackpad failing to click. Besides, here are the other reasons why your MacBook trackpad is not clicking:...

Microsoftisset to bring back Recall, the Copilot+ feature it, well,recalled back in Junejust before its release due to security concerns and negative feedback. Today, the company releaseda detailed blog postauthored by president, OS security and enterprise David Weston explaining all of the security-based changes that it made to Recall. The blog post doesn’t list a specific release date for the feature, but Microsoft previously said Insiders would see Recall come back in October....

Microsoftupdated itssupport documentin mid-February 2025 to list Intel processors compatible withWindows 1124H2, including several 8th, 9th, and 10th-generation Intel processors excluded. The aforementioned Intel CPUs were launched some eight years ago; however, many of them still work okay up to this day and are compatible with Windows 11 as long as their motherboards sport the TPM 2.0 requirement. The company said that these processor models meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11....

When a system is idle, the configuration in the Operating System can lower system resource consumption, both hardware and software, to reduce power usage. Windows offers you multiple power options that let you lower system performance if it meets certain conditions. One such setting is the Minimum Processor State in Windows. Minimum Processor State is a power setting that lets you change the minimum processor usage value. You should set the minimum processor state to a lower value so that the processor uses minimum resources when it is performing minimal tasks, inactive or idle....
