Hate Windows 11? Here's how you can make it work more like Windows 10

Pau Barrena/Bloomberg via Getty Images I wrote the original version of this post when Windows 11 was still less than a year old, after reading a ton of feedback from early adopters. I didn't have to spend a lot of time in support forums and other community sites to hear a steady stream of criticism from people who were annoyed by the changes Microsoft made in the Windows 10 user interface they had grown comfortable with. Enough time has passed since the original Windows 11 release that some of

I Watched a $30,000, 116-Inch TV. Now I Need a Bigger Living Room

The whole TV industry is moving towards bigger and bigger screens, and the new Hisense 116UX takes the concept to a room-filling extreme. This is a 116-inch 4K TV that costs as much as a decent new car. But it's not just any 116-inch, $30,000 TV. Hisense built some sophisticated tech under the hood, and I got some hands-on time with it. I can confirm that this is a truly massive screen. Like, absolutely huge. A real unit. To give you an idea of how big it is, I'm 6 feet tall and I could not tou

Windows 11 has a new battery‑saving feature - here's how to try it

Maria Korneeva / Getty Images Running low on battery juice is one of the most frustrating problems on a Windows laptop. To combat this, Microsoft offers an Energy Saver mode that tries to keep the charge alive. But that option dims your screen, making it more difficult to see, especially in low-light conditions.

Apple adds Firefox support to iCloud Passwords on Windows

Apple has rolled out official support for Firefox in the latest update to its iCloud for Windows app, allowing users to autofill and access their iCloud Passwords directly in Mozilla’s browser for the first time.

Windows 11 should have been an easy upgrade - Microsoft chose to unleash chaos on us instead

Matthias Kulka/Getty Images In my three-plus decades of watching Microsoft, I've seen the company do some truly dumb things. The transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 deserves a spot at the top of the list. What's most impressive is that the strategy it's been executing is bad for Microsoft's customers, and bad for the company's bottom line. A real lose-lose proposition.
