Microsoft has started to include banner ads in two of its most popular Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications: Mail and Calendar. It seems that there's no way for users to get rid of the ads.

The ads currently recommend using the mobile versions of Gmail and Outlook apps, depending on whether you’re using a Gmail or Outlook.com address in the Windows Mail app. However, it's likely Microsoft will eventually post ads from other advertisers after they

Researchers from Safe Breach discovered that an older version of Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology (RST) software is vulnerable to DLL hijacking. The flaw could allow a malicious program to be seen as trusted by antivirus engines, thus bypassing their system protection.

In order to exploit the vulnerability, the attacker needs administrative privileges. However, this may be an easier task than many might think, as the vast majority of Windows systems run with administrative privileges enabled by default, making an attacker’s

Adata is expanding its XPG gaming brand with a new family of memory products. The XPG Hunter DDR4 memory kits will be available in both conventional DIMM and SO-DIMM formats.

The new XPG Hunter modules come with a black PCB that's complemented by a matching low-profile heatsink. They flaunt a no-frills design that is devoid of any flashy RGB lighting. The sticks are fully compatible with XMP 2.0 so you can configure them easily inside the

When it comes to high refresh-rate gaming monitors, the cap for the last few years has been at 240 Hz. That's extremely fast -- and so fast that some of us would be hard-pressed to tell the difference over 120 or 144Hz monitors, though if you've been at that level for long enough, you'll certainly pick up on it, especially if you're into competitive gaming. Now, it

An adventurous Redditor has reportedly uncover the graphics configurations for AMD's next-generation Renoir APUs (Accelerated Processing Units). The juicy details were hidden deep inside the December 2019 edition of the AMD Bootcamp Drivers.

As a quick reminder, we're expecting AMD to stick its Zen 2 microarchitecture into the Renoir chips. The APUs are also expected to be fabricated on TSMC's 7nm process node like AMD's other offerings. Lamentably,

If you have a laptop that can charge over USB Type-C, there's an entire ecosystem of third-party devices that can juice your PC. Anker, one of the best-known brands in the charging space, has a compelling holiday tech deal on a great laptop power solution.

Right now, you can get the PowerCore+ 26800 PD , which has both a 26,800 mAh battery that can charge a laptop and a 3

Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory) has developed a new technology to increase the storage density of flash memory called Twin BiCS Flash. The technology, announced Thursday, essentially allows memory chips to have smaller cells and more bits per cell, both of which can lead to increased memory density.

The Twin BiCS Flash is a candidate for 3D NAND flash drives with more than four bits per cell (aka QLC). The company gave us some hints about the technology for the first time at the Flash Memory Summit 201

In a post on its Performance at Intel blog, Intel has outlined some of the research in 3D logic integration it has conducted and which it has presented at this week’s IEEE IEDM 2019 conference. The research includes the stacking of germanium nanoribbon transistors on top of silicon FinFETs and its Omni-Directional Interconnect that will succeed Foveros.

The blog was written by Robert Chau, an Intel Senior Fellow and director of components research. Seemingly having forgotten – or overcome – the
