Perhaps you put aside $300 for the CPU, another $150 for the motherboard and $500 for the graphics card. If you want to run Windows – and most PC builders and gamers do –Microsoftwould like you to pony up at least $139 for a retail operating system license ($199 if it’sWindows 11Pro)....

Besides direct filming, TikTok allows you to make a slideshow of photos from your camera roll. If you wish, you can make further adjustments by adding texts, stickers, filters, and so on. But, when it comes to posting the slideshow, TikTok unnecessarily zooms in on photos. This ends up chopping off the border and removing the texts and other edits from the corners. Your effort goes to waste and your video doesn’t turn out the way you intended....

Is your phone running out of storage? If yes, phones with expandable memory are a life savior.

You can even get multiple SD cards if you have a considerable amount of data. But since this process can seem tricky depending on the phone model, we’re here to help....

Thelatest version of Raspberry Pi OShas an improved Wayland compositor in the form of Labwc, which is offered as a replacement / alternative to the previous Wayfire compositor. Wayfire was a transitional tool used whenRaspberry PiOS started the move away from the four-decade old X Window system. Older Raspberry Pi, typically pre-Raspberry Pi 4 would use Mutter as Wayfire wasn’t able to run on the resource constrained hardware. After some time, and effort, Raspberry Pi has settled on Labwc as it worked better across all models in the Raspberry Pi range, especially the latest flagship, theRaspberry Pi 5....

Updating the BIOSnot only fixes bugs and errors in the system but also makes the motherboard compatible with newer hardware devices. So everyone should update their BIOS right? Well, updating the BIOS on any motherboard or laptop is risky if you do not know the exact steps, especially if you are doing it for the first time.

MaxSun, one the lesser-known motherboard manufacturers (at least in the U.S.), published an entire list of new motherboard names to the Eurasian Economic Union, including a plethora of board models sporting Intel’s upcoming800-series chipset nomenclature— there are also some B850 and B840, though it’s not entirely clear if those are both for AMD or not. (Spotted byharukaze5719 on X) These new model names are inevitably destined for MaxSun’s upcomingLGA1851motherboards supportingArrow Lake-Sprocessors, as well as new AMD 800-series boards forZen 5 processors....

On Monday, Intel published a list of its mainstream Core Ultra 200S processors for desktop PCs. The family of non-K Core Ultra 200S “Arrow Lake-S” CPUs with 65W and 35W processor base power includes 11 models, which will join six Core Ultra 200K processors that have already been available for a quarter. The range of Intel’s Core Ultra 200S processors for mainstream and low-power PCs includes CPUs with 10 (6P+4E) 14 (6P + 8E), 20 (8P + 12E), and 24 (8P + 16E) cores, depending on positioning....

Intel isn’t done with Arrow Lake yet. After having launched a total of 22 locked and unlocked SKUs since last year’snot-so-incredible launch, the company is now looking forward to the next wave.According to ZDNet Korea, a refresh of the Arrow Lake-S desktop lineup is reportedly set for release in the second half of 2025, and while it won’t introduce new core architectures, it will bring minor upgrades to (attempt to) stay competitive, including a bulked-up NPU that supports CoPilot+....
