Windows 10 Feature Gets Mixed Reviews

Leave a reply

The first ‘major’ Windows 10 update is right around the corner. Windows 10 KB5001391 cumulative update preview is released, giving you the option to download and install.

One feature brought from this preview is the new News and Interest feed on the taskbar. This gives you the option of personalize what you would like to keep up with, including weather and sports. Its AI fixates on the relevant topics you choose and dismisses others you would rather not see.

Since its release, users have been giving conflicting critiques on said feature. OnMSFT asked their Twitter followers to poll on it. It showed up like this, below:

While more than half of respondents replied in the negative side, less than half thought it was okay. There’s a possibility that this feature won’t last long and will be replaced in a future major update.

I suppose we’ll just have to see about that.

Apple Event Highlight: M1

Leave a reply

Today, Apple announced new iMacs and iPads set to be released by mid-May during their Apple Event. These new devices will incorporate Apple’s brand new M1 chip, which will replace Intel’s chip.

Before this, Apple had to involve several chips to do what the new M1 chip can do. This includes memory, security, and processing. But with this new innovative design, the M1 is all around powerful. The graph below, from Apple’s website, shows a 2x faster CPU performance in the M1. Also, the M1 only uses 25% performance of what a PC normally uses. This is mind-blowing!

“The 8‑core CPU in M1 is by far the highest‑performance CPU we’ve ever built. Designed to crush tasks using the least amount of power, M1 features two types of cores: high performance and high efficiency. So from editing family photos to exporting iMovie videos for the web to managing huge RAW libraries in Lightroom to checking your email, M1 blazes right through it all — without blazing through battery life.”

Microsoft Paint Update

Leave a reply

Microsoft reported back in 2017 that Microsoft Paint (MS Paint) would have been censured and taken out in the following Creators Update. A considerable lot of us Microsoft Paint fans and clients have been concerned each time we open it since it posts a cautioning message each time you run the application.

Microsoft Paint is one of the most well-known Windows programs. Furthermore, despite the fact that it was announced in 2017 that Paint will be removed, Microsoft has decided to retain it and give it a minor upgrade. The news had a positive impact on the users.

With that said, Paint will be moved to the App store soon. This means it won’t be automatically downloaded into the OS.

“Providing Paint via the Microsoft Store is advantageous in terms of making upgrades regularly available (as opposed to them being delivered with Windows 10 feature upgrades), and it means the app won’t be in the operating system by default.”
