Elyse Betters Picaro/ZDNET If your computer desktop looks a little chaotic and you're noticing some performance slowdown, it might be time to do a cleanup. The best way to keep things running smoothly is to ensure you're running the most updated version of Windows (you'd be surprised how many folks' devices are several updates behind). But if you're up-to-date, there are other things you can do to optimize. Also: A decade of Windows 10: Chaos, Cortana, and conspiracy theories that never panned

DJI Has a New 360 Camera That You Can't Have (Yet?)

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-25 06:07:38

DJI, best known for its drones, gimbals and action cameras, is releasing its first 360 camera, the Osmo 360. It has some impressive specs, with big 1-inch sensors, 8K video at 50 frames per second and 120-megapixel photos. The 360 camera market certainly isn't crowded. Insta360 is the biggest name, followed by Kandao and GoPro with its refreshed-but-aging Max. The Osmo 360 seems interesting on paper, but then there's the little wrinkle that for now it's not available in the US. The reasons why

Google Home is still a mess, but at least it’s fixed one of its most annoying camera issues

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google has released a number of bug fixes for the Home app. Nest Cam users should see fewer “no video available” errors. The company also fixed an issue where turning a camera on and off during a livestream would cause a “Camera Unavailable” error. Google Home has become a point of frustration for many users, especially recently, with numerous reports of declining reliability.

VILE: Exhumed is an unjust casualty in Steam's sweeping censorship campaign

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-25 12:02:03

Over the past few weeks, thousands of video games have been banned, removed and delisted from Steam and Itch.io. The justifications for doing so have been almost comically vague, and at least one highly anticipated title is now unable to be sold despite containing nothing objectionable. It started in early July, when payment processors including Visa, Mastercard and PayPal established new regulations concerning the types of games they would allow to be sold on the PC gaming platforms they suppo

Is Ferrari a car company? The obvious answer is yes, but not according to its CEO, Benedetto Vigna, who recently described the company’s business model saying, “We are not – we are not – a car company. We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.” That’s their differentiator. Their brand. Their “schtick.” And, it works, but not because it’s a marketing ploy. It works because Ferrari backs it up with its actions. How so? By adhering to its founder Enzo Ferrari’s “scarcity dictum” that de

Secure boot certificate rollover is real but probably won't hurt you

US moves to ban shady subscription auto-renewals after FTC court loss

Canceling a subscription should be easy, Democratic lawmakers insisted Wednesday, introducing a bill to revive the Federal Trade Commission's so-called "Click-to-Cancel" rule. The FTC hoped to enforce the rule due to "increasing reports of consumers losing time and money from intentionally difficult subscription cancellation processes," lawmakers said. But cable companies sued to block the FTC rule last year, arguing that the FTC failed to conduct an economic impact study before making it easie

Roald Sagdeev has already watched one scientific empire rot from the inside. When Sagdeev began his career, in 1955, science in the Soviet Union was nearing its apex. At the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow, he studied the thermonuclear reactions that occur inside of stars. A few lab tables away, Andrei Sakharov was developing the hydrogen bomb. The Soviet space program would soon astonish the world by lofting the first satellite, and then the first human being, into orbit. Sagdeev can still rememb
