How to clear the cache on your Windows 11 PC (and why it makes such a big difference)

zdnet.com Kyle Kucharski 2026-03-06 12:51:00

Kerry Wan/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: 'End of 10' offers hope and support to Windows 10 users who can't upgrade their PCs Windows

Windows 10 EOL

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-08 13:46:59

Blog Windows 10 EOL June 17th, 2025 (permalink) So Microsoft decided to produce tons of e-waste for no obvious reason. There's a lot of capable hardware out there, and it would be of software company's interest to support as much hardware as possible. Instead, they made some arbitrary reason to deprecate "old" hardware. At the same time they also turned all of windows VR headsets into garbage. We'll have to wait for the open source implementations to catch up for any hope of them being usable

Try This Free Version of Microsoft Office That Runs in Your Browser

wired.com Justin Pot 2026-03-09 19:00:00

I don't use Microsoft Office very often. I do most of my writing in Obsidian and my number crunching in Google Sheets. Every once in a while, though, someone who does use Office sends me a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet. What do I do if I want to open it, make edits, and send it back? In this situation, it's probably excessive to purchase Microsoft Office. A one-time purchase of the Microsoft Office suite costs $150, which is a lot for the occasional file.

Zeekstd A Rust implementation of the Zstandard Seekable Format. The seekable format splits compressed data into a series of independent "frames", each compressed individually, so that decompression of a section in the middle of an archive only requires zstd to decompress at most a frame's worth of extra data, instead of the entire archive. Zeekstd makes additions to the seekable format by implementing an updated version of the specification, however, it is fully compatible with the initial ve
