Techradar TL;DR Microsoft has created Windows XP Crocs as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. The custom footwear features a sky blue design with grassy green soles that mimic the conic Bliss wallpaper from the XP era. All I want is for Google to make Android Crocs a thing! Microsoft just did the unthinkable and made Windows XP cool again after almost 25 years. The software giant has released a pair of Windows XP-inspired Crocs, and now, all I can think of is how cool it would be if G
There are a ton of models for less than $1,000 on the market at any given moment, and a large fraction of those are less than $500. As long as you manage your expectations regarding options and specs, you can still get quite a bit from a budget laptop model, including good battery life and a reasonably lightweight laptop body. (If you're replacing an old Windows laptop that's not up to running Windows anymore, consider turning it into a Chromebook.) Price If the statistics Intel and PC manufac

Here’s how it works One of the most interesting things about Wayland is how it handles window focus, unlike X11, where focus stealing can be frustrating and even a security risk. Its main advantage is a mechanism that prevents focus stealing. The protocol that plays a role in this is known as "XDG Activation."

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR An unreleased prototype of Microsoft’s dual-screen foldable phone, Surface Duo, was recently found listed online for sale. While Surface Duo ran on Android, the leaked prototype runs an unreleased version of the Windows Phone interface. Microsoft envisoned this as an intermediate between a regular phone and a Windows PC, but never realized due to the decline in Windows Phone’s popularity. Microsoft persistently dabbled with mobile phones for almost the en

Microsoft is ending support for its ChromeOS competitor Windows 11 SE. The company will officially stop providing "software updates, technical assistance and security fixes" in October 2026, according to an updated support document spotted by NeoWin. When it was announced in 2021, Windows 11 SE was pitched as a simplified, lightweight version of Microsoft's operating system for the classroom. Chromebooks and ChromeOS devices are widely used in schools around the world, so it made sense that Mic
Kerry Wan/ZDNET Usually, whenever a new feature comes out for Windows, Microsoft advertises it widely in a blog post to let everyone know. Or if they don't, people discover the feature soon after an update. However, a helpful feature sometimes slips through the cracks, only to be unearthed years later. Also: Hate Windows 11?

Microsoft says it plans to stop providing updates for Windows 11 SE, the special Windows 11 variant intended to compete with Google's ChromeOS in schools. The change was announced quietly via this Microsoft support document (spotted by the German-language site Dr. Windows), which says that Windows 11 SE will not be getting a version of this year's Windows 11 25H2 update. Security updates for Windows 11 SE will end in October of 2026, when Windows 11 24H2 stops receiving updates. "Support for Wi
In brief: Nvidia has confirmed that it will continue delivering Game Ready drivers for one year after Windows 10 reaches its end-of-life date this October, giving users more time to upgrade. Additionally, gamers who still use Maxwell, Volta, and Pascal graphics cards will receive security updates for another three years. The company explained its plans regarding Windows 10 and older GPUs in the patch notes for the 580.88 graphics driver, released July 31. Those with RTX cards can expect to rece

Officially, Microsoft will stop providing new security updates for Windows 10 PCs after October 14, 2025, a little over a decade after its initial release. It's a stick that Microsoft is using to push upgrades to the newer Windows 11, whether you install it on a PC you already have or buy a brand-new PC to meet Windows 11's system requirements. But if you can't or don't want to upgrade to Windows 11, Microsoft has made it reasonably simple to get an extra year of Extended Security Updates (ESUs
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

Jumping Rocks/Contributor/Getty Is it something in the water? First, it was Denmark bidding Microsoft adieu. Then it was the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Now it's Lyon, France's third-largest city and a leading economic hub, sweeping Microsoft Windows and Office suite away to replace them with Linux, OnlyOffice, NextCloud, and PostgreSQL.

CNET's key takeaways The Windmill AC normally starts at $349 for 6,000 BTUs, but you can often find it on sale at Windmill's website Amazon Home Depot Not only is the Windmill AC the easiest unit I've ever installed, it's the only AC unit I've tried that effectively kept my older and not well-insulated home cool during a heat wave. Bonus: It's actually stylish. Although, I still would have paid for an ugly one that works. I'm a sucker for an old home. My current rental -- a 100-year old row
If your PC meets those conditions, you'll enroll in the ESU program by opening the Settings app and clicking Windows Update.
