This new chipset has 3D V-cache tech and benchmarks show the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D bests Intel’s leading Core i9. In a recent Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark, AMD already showed its pre-launch boasts are accurate. Further benchmarks show that was no fluke and the Ryzen 7 is outperforming the i9-12900KS across the board. According to a review from XanxoGaming, the 3D V-cache helps AMD push beyond its rival and completely beats out the Core i9....

It seems the company has into the decision due to security changes in the iTunes Store. The older Windows versions are not compatible with these changes, so Apple will end the services. If you run Windows Vista or XP, you can continue to use iTunes after the cut of date, but it will not be supported by Apple. This means you will not be able to use the iTunes Store, but the program will work for playing music and movies installed on your PC....

A new benchmark points to an unknown Surface device running Intel’s latest generation Ice Lake CPU. Some reports are suggesting this is not the Surface Book 3 but could be a new Surface Laptop that will launch later this year. The question is, what is Microsoft working on? There’s certainly no reason it could not be the Surface Book 3. Either way, it seems the company is developing a Surface product with an Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor that clocks at 3....

This mirrors the original and most famed Bitcoin Easter egg, the Times headline “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”. That headline has now been found to also be coded as an hexidecimalized version. So, this is a variant on the Easter egg we already know about. January 3. 2009 is considered genesis of Bitcoin. That’s when the first block was activated by Satoshi Nakamoto, who created the original code....

However, there are many other research projects outside of Microsoft in the same field. In China, researchers have achieved a breakthrough by claiming quantum supremacy. This essentially means evidence quantum computing will outperform supercomputers. As ThreatPost reports, this advancement brings plenty of security concerns surrounding quantum computers. If quantum is so powerful, what will the threats that target these systems be capable of? A team from the University of Science and Technology of China confirmed in Science they developed a system called Jiuzhang that can complete a calculation in minutes that a supercomputer would take 10,000 years to solve....

Specifically, Chromium Edge is now available for Windows Server through download links on the Edge Insider website. This release adds another platform to the browser’s reach. At its preview launch, Edge was working on Windows 10 only. Since then, Microsoft has rolled out the preview to macOS, followed by Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. We are expecting a Linux version to also arrive at some point. For Windows Server, Microsoft has released two variants of its new browser....

Both Google and Facebook make most of their revenue through advertising, usually through directly targeting users. Of course, other companies also use digital marketing, but those two giants would be particularly affected by a digital advertising tax. France and Germany have drafted a proposal that was discovered and published by Politico. “We reaffirm our determination to establish a fair and effective taxation of large digital companies that will contribute to the modernization of our tax systems,” the declaration says....

It displays past content as well as live, letting users drill down into specific games. It also features creators, esports competition and industry events Facebook deems interesting, such as the upcoming E3 conference. It’s a mixture of Twitch’s homepage and Pulse, which offers a Twitter-like news feed where creators can post text, video, and image updates to their followers. The idea is to cut out third-party social media entirely, and Facebook is fighting back....

Facebook’s Workplace Chat addresses that issue, letting users create a separate account but keeping the same interface. As a result, most users will already be familiar, and organizations don’t have to employ as much training. It’s been just over a year since Workplace Chat released, and with it comes a Windows release. Users can now communicate across PC, Android, Mac, and iOS, and they don’t need admin privileges to install....

“The higher error rates on females with darker skin highlights an industrywide challenge: Artificial intelligence technologies are only as good as the data used to train them,” explained a spokesperson. “If a facial recognition system is to perform well across all people, the training dataset needs to represent a diversity of skin tones as well factors such as hairstyle, jewelry and eyewear.” While analyzing the software, engineers found that its technology worked best on males with lighter skin, and worst on females with darker skin....

Security researcher KrebsOnSecurity discovered web extensions that were using Microsoft Authenticator to leverage fake reviews to gain personal and financial information from users. KrebsOnSecurity was informed by a reader that there was a fake Microsoft Authenticator web extension on the Google Chrome Store.

Three of those reviews were warning users to stay away, while the other two were three and four-star reviews....

If you’re unfamiliar with the Google Chromecast Ultra 2 Dongle, it’s a beefed-up variant of the standard Chromecast 3. Unlike its sibling, the Ultra supports 4K streaming and not just 1080p. It has been widely reported Google would unveil the second-generation unit at its I/O developer conference. Of course, I/O was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the launch timeframe is looking increasingly likely as the Chromecast Ultra has now passed through NCC....

In the report, Business Insider says RBC Capital Markets predict Google will make a move for Salesforce. By tying up with Microsoft’s major enterprise software, Google can be more competitive in efforts to catch cloud rivals. However, Google has increasingly wanted to make inroads against Microsoft in the enterprise productivity sector but has largely failed. Office and other cloud services from Microsoft dominate business. Indeed, a recent report shows that 97 percent of participating organizations use Azure....

By leveraging AI, Google says Gmail spelling suggestions will become smarter and spot grammatical errors more efficiently: “As you type your message, Gmail will use artificial intelligence to make smarter spell-check suggestions while also detecting potential grammar issues. For some common spelling mistakes, we’ve also added as-you-type autocorrection for improved accuracy.” Under the new feature, when a grammar mistake is made a blue squiggly line will appear under any errors....

It is worth noting this is not an infinite scroll because Google Search will load six pages into a single scroll. However, at the end of that six-page scroll, there will be a “See More” button to load more results. In an announcement, Google says the change is so far limited to the English language and is only available in the United States. On mobile, the continuous scroll is available globally, so I expect a wider rollout of the desktop integration in the near future....

Screenshots of a directory listing indicate that the 63 GB of source code includes entries for Office, Azure, and some Windows runtimes. However, Microsoft employees speaking to ZDNet say that while at least a small portion of the stolen files are authentic, the source code of major products such as Windows and Office remain private. They also say some of their private projects were not included in the listing. This is likely because vital Microsoft source code isn’t on a public-facing platform....

One software dabbler used the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) feature in Android 13 to boot Microsoft’s latest desktop platform on a Pixel 6 smartphone. One of the big improvements Android 13 will make over previous generations is its ability to work with virtual machines more efficiently. Android has been able to run VMs for years, but fragmentation has meant it is a frustrating experience. Google is addressing the situation with KVM, which will standardize VM use on the platform....
