Microsoft Accidentally Leaks Redesigned Windows 10 Start Menu Online

According to The Verge, the build doesn’t look like it’s meant to be used by device and machines running on a 32-bit version of Windows 10. That aside, the build does give us a look at the new layout of the design, which as you can see, foregoes Microsoft’s Live Tiles. From what we can see, it clearly doesn’t look as lively or as interactive as the Live Tiles; the new silhouette motif being used here looks very plain and pales in comparison to the punchy and vibrant colours the current Windows 10 build has....

Microsoft Wants You To Stay Away From Internet Explorer

In the post, he says that “Internet Explorer is a compatibility solution.” This is because some businesses still use it for their web page and web apps. Rather than spending resources to make them compatible with the new-age browsers, they continue to use them because they were designed to be used with it. The problem with this is that Internet Explorer is not updated with the latest web standards. This will cause sites and web apps to be locked out of features that it could otherwise benefit from....

Modder Crams Amd Ryzen Powered Gaming Pc Into Sega Dreamcast Chassis

The modder in question goes by the handle Temujin123 and they posted up their project over on the ComputerBase forums. In terms of hardware and because of the limited amount of space, the modder chose to go with an AMD build. To that end, they chose a Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G APU and paired it with a mini-STX ASRock X300M motherboard, along with 16GB DDR4-3200MHz RAM. The primary reason behind Temujin123’s choice is, once again, due to space; because of the Dreamcast’s cramped chassis, they aren’t even able to cram in a small form-factor GPU....

Nikon Retro Inspired Z Fc Mirrorless Camera Now Official Price Starts From Us 960

The Z FC in a way succeeds the brand’s earlier retro styled release back in 2013, the Nikon Df, where it too sports a classic silver and black body. But this retro look appears to work even better on the new camera, thanks to the more compact bodies of mirrorless cameras that are more in line with the film cameras of old. While the iconic silver and black look is the “hero” colour prominently shown in the promotional materials, Nikon is actually offering the Z FC in six colour options: white, pink, mint, grey, brown and beige....
