Windows 11 nukes gaming performance by up to 28 percent! At least, that’s one of the early takes echoing around the Internet already. It’s largely based on testing done by PC Gamer‘s Dave James, which showed a gaming desktop with an Intel 10th-gen Core i7 and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti suffering drastically with VBS switched on. VBS stands for Virtualization Based Security and increases security on Windows 11 by creating virtual security enclaves. It’s a one of the requirements Microsoft has cited for cutting off support for CPU’s older than Intel’s 8th-gen, as well as AMD’s Ryzen 1000-series of CPUs.…

The iPhone 13 is the best smartphone in its price bracket. Revealed at Apple’s California Streaming event, the device boasts a number of notable improvements over its predecessor, the iPhone 12. These include the more powerful A15 Bionic chip, a bigger battery, a narrowed notch, enhanced camera sensors, and increased default storage.

If you don’t have two-factor authentication activated on your Google account, don’t be surprised if the company does it for you. On Tuesday, Google announced it plans on auto-enrolling 150 million users into the company’s “two-step verification” system by the end of this year. This means anyone logging on to the affected Google accounts will need both the registered password and access to the account holder’s mobile phone. Google originally introduced its effort to auto-enroll users into the two-factor authentication system back in May. But at the time, the company simply said the plan would be implemented “soon” without elaborating. It’s unclear if…
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s last character has finally been revealed, bringing an end to the game’s ever-expanding roster. Sora from Kingdom Hearts is joining the game, an often-requested character for the game. Sora will be available for players to play in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate starting October 18.

His normal attacks are largely borrowed from the original Kingdom Hearts title. However, by holding the A button, players can string together a quick three-hit…

However, it’s not included in Amazon Prime. It’s worth remembering that you can only store up to ten titles on your device at once, however, though it’s easy to swap these titles out so you’ll never get stuck paying for something you don’t ultimately enjoy. One of the latest subscription services to hit the Amazon suite, Kindle Unlimited not only offers free books for your cash, but you can also grab…
Oct 05, 2021, 9:57 AM We may earn a commission if you make a purchase from the links on this page. Unlike the stunning Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, which starts at a $350 price that some of you may find hard to swallow, the other high-end wearable device unveiled by Samsung a couple of months ago as the result of the company’s first close collaboration with Google in years is definitely not what anyone would consider extravagant.Instead of Amazon, Woot (which just so happens to be owned by Amazon) is the generous e-tailer behind this solid new deal, allowing those…
My favorite quote from MicroStrategy CEO and bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor is “you don’t have to invest all of your money in bitcoin, just the money you don’t want to lose.” If higher education institutions don’t invest in a Saylor-like fashion, Christensen will be right. In August of 2020, Wells College, located in upstate New York, and 200 other small, private colleges were in danger of closing due to the pandemic. At the end of 2019, Wells College endowment was valued at $27 million if its president had invested it all in bitcoin on Jan. 1, 2020, the endowment would…
