Weird OS: Microsoft regularly deprecates features in Windows, typically replacing them with improved alternatives or streamlining development. That's why its decision to drop a relatively new security feature – one it promoted less than a year ago – raises questions about how Windows is evolving and which users might be left behind. Microsoft has quietly added another entry to its ever-growing list of deprecated Windows features. The company is phasing out Virtualization-based Security (VBS) en

Assassin’s Creed titles are cozy games for me.

I’m “only” 40 hours into Shadows (I reckon I’m only about 30 percent through the game), but I already consider it one of the best entries in the franchise’s long history. I’ve apprec
