{Disarmed} Surprise: Windows 11 is here

Image
Months ago, Microsoft officially announced that the latest version of Windows would hit the market on October 5, 2021. Today is October 5th - but surprisingly, Microsoft released Windows 11 for download yesterday evening. The latest Windows version is now available to everyone one day earlier than expected. If you have a newer Windows 10 PC, you can check whether Windows 11 is waiting for you as an update in Windows Update. Otherwise, you can perform the upgrade manually using the installation wizard. But you'd better take your time. A number of errors will probably appear in the first few weeks, which Microsoft can then fix with an update. Personally, I would wait until the end of the year with an installation, then Windows 11 should be stable and hardly have any errors. But if you still can't wait, you can download the corresponding Windows 11 ISO on the Windows 11 Download page, depending on which Windows version you are using, it will then be automatically recogni

Microsoft, Amazon or BMW? This brand comes off worst among Germans

Image
Which globally active brand does Twitter users suffer least from: Microsoft, Amazon, BMW, Apple or maybe a completely different one? This question is addressed by an evaluation of rave reviews, and for Germany the result is clear. Large, globally known brands such as Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, but also those from other industries such as KFC, BMW, Volkswagen or Activision are often the subject of posts on social media platforms. RaveRewies has recognized that this also provides a picture of the mood and is presenting the most unpopular brands worldwide . Amazon unpopular: No. 1 in Germany for sure In Germany, Amazon "manages" it in first place (source: RaveReviews). The mail order company is - based on posts on Twitter - the brand that gets off worst among users in Germany. Exactly 50 percent of the examined tweets about Amazon express themselves negatively about the group. It is therefore considered to be the "most hated" in Germany, so it faces the most hea

{Disarmed} Microsoft promises updates for the Surface Duo 2 for three years

Image
Microsoft introduced the new Surface Duo 2 earlier this week. The new model is a huge upgrade over the original model. But what does Microsoft have in mind when it comes to software updates? Now the Redmond company has given us an answer. "We are committed to providing operating system and security updates for three years," a Microsoft representative told the Android Authority in response to a question about the update requirements for the Surface Duo 2. This means that Microsoft's Surface Duo 2 is part of a wave of Android brands that are stepping up their operating system update efforts (e.g. Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo). Microsoft can't quite keep up with Samsung when it comes to security updates, as the Korean manufacturer has been offering security updates for four years, but the overall commitment is good news nonetheless. Microsoft also confirmed to Android Authority that it is working to bring Android 11 to the first Surface Duo "before the end of th

{Disarmed} Microsoft Surface Duo 2 officially presented

Image
Microsoft finally presented the new Surface Duo 2, the second generation Android smartphone with two screens, at the Surface event on Wednesday. The device has a modern chipset, 5G connectivity and a new Glance Bar to display notifications when the device is closed. While the original Surface Duo didn't quite live up to the hype, Microsoft seems determined to fix these shortcomings with the successor. While the design is essentially unchanged compared to the original, the most noticeable difference can be seen in the outer case: The Surface Duo 2 is equipped with a triple camera on the back. This has a 12 MP primary sensor, a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and a 16 MP ultra wide-angle camera as well as a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor. This is a huge step forward compared to its predecessor and the unfortunate 11 MP sensor on the original. The selfie camera on the front has received a small upgrade to 12 MP. : Microsoft Inside the device has two 5.8 ″ PixelSense

Windows 11: Reason for delay of Android apps found

Image
Windows 11 is basically just around the corner. Microsoft will release the new operating system at the beginning of October. Actually, Android should also be supported. Then suddenly back down. Android will follow later. Now we probably also know why there is this delay. Windows 11: Android apps with poor performance Microsoft recently confirmed that support for Android apps via the Amazon app store will not be integrated into Windows 11 until later. This means that Android apps under Windows 11 cannot be used directly on October 5th. It is not known exactly when the update with the support will follow. Microsoft still has some work to do. As it has now become known, the performance of the Android apps under Windows 11 is simply not yet good enough (source: Notebookcheck). According to the latest information, the performance should be moderate even on high-end hardware in benchmarks. Even now quite old ARM processors are faster than a PC with an Intel Core i7-12700, which can use

{Disarmed} Microsoft Surface Duo 2 showed up at the FCC with 5G, NFC, UWB and wireless charging

Image
The launch of Microsoft's next foldable smartphone seems only a few days away. Microsoft has the device certified by the American FCC and confirmed some specifications. We can expect the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 to be presented in the next few days. The Microsoft Surface Duo is an exciting approach to foldable smartphones, even if it came out late in most markets and with outdated hardware. Microsoft's first foldable smartphone, for example, only came to Europe this year, where the company was asking for a price of 1,549 euros. With such a high price, the Surface Duo competes with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, and could not hold a candle to the device. The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 should correct many of the errors of its predecessor, as the FCC has confirmed. The entry confirms that the device has a 5G modem and that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 will probably work inside. In addition, the Surface Duo 2 supports WiFi 6 connectivity (802.11 ax) and NFC. In addition, the FCC

October is going to be a busy month for Microsoft. On October 5, Windows 11 will arrive and, along with it, the new version of Microsoft Office. This has been confirmed by the Redmond company, which ensures that Office 2021 (the consumer version) will also be launched on October 5 .

Both companies will now work together to develop groundbreaking AI and end devices and create future-oriented technology strategies.

{Disarmed} The future of Microsoft is one without passwords: You can now log in using only alternative methods

Image
Passwords , cumbersome as they can be at times, have been necessary for the past few years. They are the essential method to protect access to an account or content. However, Microsoft believes that it is time to get rid of them , and they lead by example by allowing their users to abandon them in favor of other authentication methods. Microsoft began implementing passwordless authentication for Microsoft accounts earlier this year, although only for some users. Now this is expanded to all users, who can already access the Microsoft account without entering a password if they configure it. {"videoId":"x83kjzc","autoplay":false,"title":"INICIA SESIÓN en WINDOWS 10 SIN USAR CONTRASEÑAS"} "Password removed: You have increased the security of your account" The Microsoft idea behind this is that passwords really are neither as strong nor as convenient as other methods.

{Disarmed} Microsoft s cloud game comes to Windows 10: having a PC ready to play is no longer (as) necessary

Image
We've known for a few weeks that Xbox Cloud Gaming , Xbox's cloud gaming platform, was finalizing its arrival on Windows 10 . Now the wait is over, since from now on it is possible to play Game Pass games without having to install them on the PC thanks to the cloud . We have known Xbox Cloud Gaming for a long time. This Microsoft platform allows access to a large number of titles from anywhere, whether on the mobile phone, on the tablet and, now, from the computer. The only requirement? Being a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, having a compatible controller and a decent connection , of course. In xiaomist.com What is cloud gaming and how does it work? Requirements take a backseat {"videoId":"x83pgcv","autoplay":false,"title":"Xbox Cloud Gaming llega a Xbox Series X S y Xbox One"} The game in the cloud is available through the Xbox app. Its objective is not only to break the barrier of hardware requirements , so

Is Windows 11 Coming to New Macs? That s what Microsoft says

Image
Windows 11 could actually also run on Macs, provided they have an M1 chip - or maybe not? After the general discussion about the hardware required by Windows 11, Microsoft now also has to position itself on Apple systems. Windows 11 on Macs: Microsoft does not commit itself With Windows 11, the next operating system from Microsoft is just around the corner and it will be officially available from October 5, 2022. Of course, many users ask themselves whether the next version will also run on their computer. What it looks like with support from Apple systems has so far remained unclear. Unfortunately, it will stay that way, because Microsoft does not want to commit itself completely (source: The Register). In an interview, a spokesman for the group was asked specifically how it looks with Windows 11 and Macs that have a strong M1 chip. With the required performance, there shouldn't be any problems here. According to the spokesman, this is currently "not a supported scenario&

{Disarmed} This is how it is working with Windows 365, the "Windows 10 in the cloud": we even tested it on an iPad, an Android mobile and a Raspberry Pi

Image
Imagine a super basic job. A very modest computer connected to a monitor, a mouse and a keyboard . One that would barely give room to work with Windows 10 ... if what you were using were a "normal" version of Windows 10. For that computer, it would actually be enough to have support for the Windows remote desktop or a browser to do everything that a much more powerful PC does. How? Thanks to Windows 365 , that kind of "streaming Windows 10" that makes everything run from the cloud almost without you noticing. In xiaomist.com we have tried it these days, and this is our experience. Windows 10 with a very business profile For the ordinary user, Windows 365 probably does not make much sense: each of us likes to manage and customize our operating system and install and uninstall whatever we want. We don't usually want to depend on a central entity to take care of everything, and in essence each PC runs its own installation of Windows 10. However, there is a
