Google Pixel 10 leak points to some disappointing feature omissions

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The vanilla Pixel 10 may not have a vapor chamber. Wi-Fi 7 support may not be in the cards either. It could also miss out on the new “Ultra Res Zoom” feature and ultra-stable video recording. The base model Pixel 10 is shaping up to sound like a mixed bag of good news and bad news. While it should get a big upgrade in the form of a triple camera setup, it’s also expected to make a variety of compromises. For example, our report from April suggests Google

Windows 10 KB5061087 update released with 13 changes and fixes

Microsoft has released the June 2025 non-security preview update for Windows 10, version 22H2, with fixes for bugs preventing the Start Menu from launching and breaking scanning features on USB multi-function printers. Today's optional cumulative update (KB5061087) is an optional non-security preview update that allows Windows administrators to test fixes and improvements released with the upcoming July 2025 Patch Tuesday cumulative updates.

Windows 10 users can get extended security updates for 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points

As we edge closer to Windows 10's end-of-support on October 14, 2025, Microsoft is throwing its more stubborn users another bone. The company previously announced that, for the first time, consumers would be able to purchase one year of Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for $30. Today, Microsoft revealed that you'll also be able to use 1,000 reward points to snap up an ESU. That could be helpful if, like me, you've been slowly amassing Microsoft Rewards and completely forgot they exist

Windows 10 users can get extended security updates using Microsoft points

Microsoft says Windows 10 home users who want to delay switching to Windows 11 can enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program at no additional cost using Microsoft Rewards points or enabling Windows Backup to sync their data to the cloud. Windows 10 will reach the end of support on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will stop providing bug fixes and security updates to fix newly discovered vulnerabilities, with unpatched systems exposed to attacks and malware. Windows Insi

How to get Windows 10 extended security updates for free: 2 options

hxdbzxy / Getty Images With just a few months remaining until the Windows 10 end-of-support date, Microsoft seems to have belatedly realized that owners of tens of millions of consumer PCs running Windows 10 aren't ready to replace their old computers, and they're also not about to fork over $30 for a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription. So today, the company waved the white flag and announced new "free enrollment options" for the ESU program, along with a description of the

Microsoft extends free Windows 10 security updates into 2026, with strings attached

Last fall, Microsoft announced that individuals who wanted to keep using Windows 10 past its official end-of-support date could do so by opting into the company's Extended Security Update (ESU) program at a cost of $30 per PC. That payment would get users a single year of additional security updates. Today, less than four months before that October 14, 2025, cutoff, Microsoft is announcing additional options for people who can't or don't want to pay that fee. Individuals who want to pay $30 for

Microsoft makes Windows 10 extended security updates free, but there’s a catch

is a senior editor and author of Notepad , who has been covering all things Microsoft, PC, and tech for over 20 years. Microsoft revealed last year that it will charge consumers $30 for a year of extra security updates to Windows 10. Now, it’s allowing consumers to enroll into its Extended Security Updates (ESU) free of charge ahead of the Windows 10 end of support on October 14th. But there’s a catch. Consumers will have three options to get ESU on their personal Windows 10 PCs, and the free

Writing toy software is a joy

I am a huge fan of Richard Feyman’s famous quote: “What I cannot create, I do not understand” I think it’s brilliant, and it remains true across many fields (if you’re willing to be a little creative with the definition of ‘create’). It is to this principle that I believe I owe everything I’m truly good at. Some will tell you to avoid reinventing the wheel, but they’re wrong: you should build your own wheel, because it’ll teach you more about how they work than reading a thousand books on them

I tested a robot vacuum that mops with recycled water and the results surprised me

ZDNET's key takeaways The 3i S10 Ultra robot vacuum and mop is available for $1,900.

Microsoft / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Have you decided what to do with your Windows 10 PCs when they reach their official end-of-support date three months from now?

Getting the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones? Here’s a free $30 gift card!

The hottest headphones in the audio gear market are the Sony WH-100XM6. They just launched in mid-May 2025, so they are still very new. This means we don’t expect any discounts to come anytime soon, but there is still a nice incentive for those who are getting these popular cans. Let’s talk about it!

China's first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100, performs like a 13-year-old Nvidia GTX 660 Ti

Facepalm: China recently unveiled its first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100. Built on a 6nm process, the card was touted as a potential rival to Nvidia's RTX 4060. However, a recent Geekbench listing suggests its performance is closer to that of the 13-year-old GeForce GTX 660 Ti or the 10-year-old Radeon R9 370. The listing also appears to reveal shockingly anemic specifications, including just 32 Compute Units, 256 MB of VRAM, and a 300 MHz GPU clock. Overall, the card managed a score of only 15,

I replaced my Pixel 9 Pro with this $700 Android - and didn't miss it

ZDNET's key takeaways The Redmagic 10 Air Android phone is available now on Amazon for $729. The 10 Air phone is as elegant as it is powerful and can handle some of the more challenging games. This camera system isn't necessarily flagship level, and you'll want to pay attention to network band support. $719 at Amazon I've held lots of Android phones in my hand, some of which felt awkward because of their size or shape, while some fit just right. That Goldilocks effect is real, and one thing I

Google Pixel 10a wishlist: These are the 5 upgrades I want to see

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Over the last few years, we’ve gotten used to a pretty reliable formula for Pixel launches. Every fall, Google rolls out its flagships, followed by the mid-range Pixel A launch a few months later in the spring. Usually, that mid-ranger takes most of its cues (and all of its internals) from the flagships, giving us a great chance to recommend the full Pixel experience without the full Pixel price. This year, though, the Pixel 9a tried something new. It picked up

Sound As Pure Form: Music Language Inspired by Supercollider, APL, and Forth

WHAT This program is called: "A tool for exploring sound as pure form." or "sound as pure form" or "sapf" It is an interpreter for a language for creating and transforming sound. The language is mostly functional, stack based and uses postfix notation similar to FORTH. It represents audio and control events using lazy, possibly infinite sequences. It intends to do for lazy sequences what APL does for arrays: provide very high level functions with pervasive automatic mapping, scanning, and reduct

ZDNET's key takeaways The Redmagic 10S Pro will be available now, starting at $699. The 10S Pro harnesses impressive power, making it an absolute delight for gamers and power users.

I tested a large-screen tablet that gave me zero iPad Pro envy (and it's on sale)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is available for up to $800 off with a trade-in credit. This 14.6-inch tablet is a productivity powerhouse, packed with a strong processor and Galaxy AI tools perfect for work and play.

Ready to ditch Windows? 'End of 10' makes converting your PC to Linux easier than ever

End of 10 Windows 10, it's almost time to bid you adieu. Support ends soon, and many of those PCs simply aren't powerful enough to run the successor to what has been one of the most widely used desktop OSes on the planet. But users have choices. They can purchase a new computer, one with enough oomph to run Windows 11 (an expensive proposition in an unstable economy). They can run the risk of using an unsupported OS (not wise in a world that is getting ever more dangerous). They can install

8 things I want to see on the Pixel 10 series

Joe Maring / Android Authority Given the rumored earlier launch date of August this year, the Pixel 10 series is right around the corner. As is customary with every Google product, the leaks are really starting to ramp up as we get closer to the release. Up to now, all the tidbits of info we’ve seen are pointing to an iterative update with no meaningful changes to the design, except perhaps a slightly bigger camera bar on the back. While they might not look that different from their predecesso

Infinite Mac OS X

tl;dr: Infinite Mac can now run early Mac OS X, with 10.1 and 10.3 being the best supported versions. It’s not particularly snappy, but as someone who lived through that period, I can tell you that it wasn’t much better on real hardware. Infinite HD has also been rebuilt to have some notable indie software from that era. Porting PearPC I’ve been tracking DingusPPC progress since my initial port and making the occasional contribution myself, with the hope of using it to run Mac OS X in Infinite

DJI Portable Power Station Gets 55% Off as Part of Amazon’s Surprise Early Deals, Limited Time Only

Nintendo Switch 2: Which webcams work?

Why I recommend this Roborock over competing robot vacuums (and I've tested dozens)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Roborock Saros 10 is available for $1,599.
