Office problems on Windows 10? Microsoft’s response will soon be “upgrade to 11.”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-20 02:38:08

Microsoft’s advertised end-of-support date for Windows 10 is October 14, 2025. But in reality, the company will gradually wind down support for the enduring popular operating system over the next three years. Microsoft would really like you to upgrade to Windows 11, especially if it also means upgrading to a new PC, but it also doesn’t want to leave hundreds of millions of home and business PCs totally unprotected. Those competing goals have led to lots of announcements and re-announcements and

Why no S Pen support just killed my interest in the Galaxy Z Fold 7

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-23 23:30:19

“Writing is learning!” That’s a core belief my primary school headmistress instilled in me when she spoke to the class before the soon-to-follow series of tests. Over the last 20-plus years, I have diligently followed her wisdom, and writing has been crucial in distilling my thoughts. This tendency also influences my inclination towards devices that let me use a pen-like contraption on digital screens — the Galaxy Z Fold being one of them.

Samsung drops S Pen support from Galaxy Z Fold 7 — here’s why it had to go

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-28 17:00:12

TL;DR Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a significantly thinner and more ergonomic design. To achieve this slim profile, Samsung has removed the digitizer layer from the inner display, consequently dropping S Pen support. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which finally features a noticeably thinner design that is easier to hold. While everyone gushes over how good it feels in the hand, this thinner design comes at a cost: the Fold 7 no longer supports the S Pen. Samsung hasn’t me

This article will assume some familiarity with narrow phase collision detection methods and associated geometric concepts such as the Minkowski sum. A few years ago I was watching Dirk’s great presentation, The Separating Axis Test between Convex Polyhedra (video, slides). Around the 18 minute mark (slide 29) he starts talking about overlaying Gauss maps of convex polyhedra to find the faces of their Minkowski difference.

Did you know: Your phone supports a 320MP camera, but companies choose to skip them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-03 14:00:04

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The smartphone industry has been through a brutal megapixel war over the last few years, jumping to 48MP, 50MP, 64MP, and 108MP cameras. Companies then upped the ante in 2022 and 2023 by offering 200MP camera phones, and we’ve stayed at this resolution since then.
