This was first reported by BleepingComputer, which says the KB50011563 patch will form part of Microsoft’s ‘Patch Tuesday’ security updates. Given these are usually released on the second Tuesday of each month, availability from 12 April is most likely. The Blue Screen of Death has been around ever since Windows began life in the 1980s. It indicates a fatal system error, where the operating system decides it can no longer operate successfully....

The new wireless file transfer system will work like AirDrop but only on Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo phones. It won’t be coming to Samsung, OnePlus or any other brand for now so this is not an Android-wide feature, unfortunately. The feature uses Bluetooth to pair and Wi-Fi to share, promising an average transfer speed of 20MB/s and will an option in the share sheet in the OS. It means users of these phone brands will be able to share files with each other when nearby, without a data connection much like Apple users enjoy with AirDrop between iPhone, iPad and Mac....

The company doesn’t always sell its phones officially in the UK but it will do soon through Three. And its latest phone is the Mi 8, successor to the Mi 6. Xiaomi has skipped the Mi 7 name as its also celebrating its eighth year in 2018. Young companies, eh? In addition to the Mi 8, Xiaomi used its 31 May event to show off a new Explorer Edition and the Mi 8 SE, as well as the Mi Band 3 and MIUI 10, the latest version of Xiaomi’s Android skin....

Besides, a custom ROM offers the latest Android OS with a feature-rich interface, more privacy, customizations, better battery life, and no bloatware. Even though Android smartphones have gotten better over the decades, it is still totally worth flashing a custom ROM. Believe me, with custom ROMs; you’ll have complete freedom and control over your Android device....

I’m here to tell you that there is a third way – a less expensive and a less-injurious-to-your-health way of enjoying the Cup De Monde. And it’s interactive, too. (To get the full viewing experience, read How to watch the World Cup online.) Because inbetween dodging allegations of corruption in the World Cup-bidding process, the game’s governing body FIFA has brought out a brand new soccer SIM for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3....

Design & accessories The S9 is traditional in appearance: a chunky white disc with a silver ring and a raised round platform in its centre. When you spot one of these – a Lidar tower – on a robot vacuum, it tends to bode well for the vac’s navigation and mapping capabilities. Lidar involves the use of a laser, which bounces off objects and gives the robot a much more accurate perception of distance....

This is a monitor that wants to wow with its unusual design, featuring a nearly bezel-less display and a fixed offset stand that‘s offset of central to hold the panel in the air. If you’re after a cheaper 4K display, AOC’s 28in U2868PQU monitor is just £330 Acer S277HK review: Build and Design Here is a desktop monitor which sets itself apart from the all-black school of display, instead using glossy white plastics across the back panel and a natural aluminium finish support stand....

Thanks to the falling cost of making a laptop thin and light, the Swift 3 is no brick. No, it’s fairly slim, fairly light and quite attractive. Aside from a few issues that show why it is only half the price of its attention-grabbing rivals, this is a laptop that really has it all. Acer Swift 3 review: Price The most interesting version of the Acer Swift 3 is the cheapest....

This is understandable. Amazfit is a sub-brand of Huami, a Chinese American company that also helps Xiaomi manufacture its Mi Band. It has a decent presence in the US and China, but over here Amazfit isn’t exactly a household name. The Amazfit Pace is high-end on specs, but pleasingly not so on price. It packs GPS with run tracking, a heart rate monitor, music controls and more – so does the cheaper price mean it cuts some corners?...

What follows is the original review: When we first saw the Fire HD 6 back in October 2014 we said it made a good kids’ tablet. This was partly down to the smaller size – a 6in screen – and the low price of £79, but also because the Freetime app meant you could restrict the apps, books and games that kids could access and the amount of time they could use the tablet each day....

We’ve reviewed the Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 but there are more processors in each range. We’ve summarised the lineup along with their prices in the table below. The flagship eight-core Ryzen 7 1800X costs only £499 ($499) – half the price of Intel’s eight-core i7-6900K. However, it’s the mid-range chips which are likely to be the big sellers, and the Ryzen 5 1600X is almost twice as fast as the Intel Core i5-7600K in the multithreaded Cinebench R15 test....

Anker’s PowerCore+ 20100 USB-C is the first commerically available USB-C power bank we’ve tested (we’ve also tried the Maximas XTRON), and it gave us a great first impression of the technology. At a first glance the PowerCore+ would appear to be a dual-output power bank that charges itself over USB-C. Look again. It’s not just the connector itself that’s reversible, since that USB-C port also works both as an input and an output, and can operate at up to a stupidly fast 15W....

This means it’s not only the fastest way to charge devices that can support a higher charging rate, but it is enough to charge USB-C devices such as your USB-C laptop that won’t charge over a standard USB adaptor. Also see: Best power banks and Best USB PD power banks The ‘up to 100W’ is important: this Anker power bank offers 22.5W, which means it will charge your USB-C laptop only if it meets that requirement....

In fact, in some respects it’s a step down from the Air 2 but the price helps to make up for this. iPad (2017): Price and availability At £339 from Apple, this is the cheapest launch price for a 9.7in iPad yet. There are rumours of an even cheaper iPad in 2018, though. This is the base model of course, so if you want 128GB rather than 32GB of storage, you’ll have to pay £429....

The breach – according to the firm – was discovered in June 2018, but the hack itself occured in July 2017. Dixons Carphone says that virtually all the cards are safe because they’re protected by the chip-and-pin system, and none of the data from 105,000 older, unprotected cards has been used fraudulently. Those cards are non-European, so if you have UK-issued cards, you shouldn’t be affected. It isn’t the first time the company has failed to adequately protect payment card data as it suffered a similar breach in 2015 where the details of almost a million cards were compromised....

We’ve spent hours working our way through Odyssey so far, and here are the main improvements that we noticed. For more information, take a look at our Assassin’s Creed Odyssey review. What’s new in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? Bayek of Siwa was a strong lead character in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, but the story was enhanced by the presence of a strong female character; his wife, Aya. This has been taken to the next level in Odyssey, with the option to play through the game as either Alexios or Kasandra....

That’s a great boast, but the Asus costs £799, so it’s not exactly cheap. It’s not exactly for everyone, either: the Swift takes aim at competitive eSports players who need every advantage possible. Two versions of this display are available. The PG259QNR reviewed here is more expensive, and you can save £100 by opting for the PG259QN, which doesn’t include the display’s latency-checking module. Design & Build The ROG Swift PG259QNR emerges from the box with the stand already attached and the base is fitted with a couple of easy pre-installed screws....
