Only a few devices would have received this update such as the last Lumias, the 950 and 950 XL and the HP Elite x3. Other Windows phones that might be hanging around lost support a long time ago. Microsoft is ending support long after app developers did. The ‘app gap’ between the platform and the burgeoning iOS and Android market was what did it initially for Windows Phone’s waning popularity circa 2015....
The Microsoft-designed over-ear headphones deliver the kind of sound quality, premium design and seamless ease-of-use you’d expect from cans twice their price. While there are flaws, and features we’d love to see added next time around, every omission feels fair when you consider Microsoft’s aggressive price point. Design and build The Xbox Wireless Headset fits right in with the company’s established aesthetic, and looks the part with the Xbox Series X – the higher-end model in the current pair of Xbox consoles....
Desktop chargers aren’t just useful in the home either, they’re also great for taking on holiday and prevent us having to carry multiple power adaptors in our suitcases. This Zendure works with any 100V-240V AC input, and is supplied with a UK three-pin plug. Also see: Best power banks 2015. Zendure’s 5-Port Desktop Charger stands out among a sea of devices that in essence do the same thing in two ways: it’s very compact, just 97x60x27mm and 166g; and it builds in Zen+ technology, which it uses to intelligently recognise each plugged-in device and then deliver an optimal amount of power for charging....
In common with most of its rivals the Multy doesn’t include a modem for internet connection, so you’ll still have to connect it to the existing modem or router that provides your internet access. See more mesh Wi-Fi networking kits Zyxel Multy X price and UK availability There’s no option to buy a three-piece kit for larger homes, although you can buy additional Multy routers on their own for £169....
A more powerful Nvidia RTX 2060 graphics card and a new Intel 10th-gen CPU have both been fitted, and it’s paired with a 144Hz display and a whopping 20GB of memory. The Predator Helios 300 is designed for mainstream gamers, and its £1,399 price makes it a little more expensive than its predecessor – but it’s still a little cheaper than both of its key rivals. Design & Build There haven’t been big visual changes here from the Helios 300 (2019) ....
Alibaba will heavily invest in “new and existing overseas operations,” said Daniel Zhang in a speech on Wednesday to employees, an excerpt of which was posted on the group’s website. Zhang, 43, was the company’s chief operating officer until he replaced CEO Jonathan Lu last week, as the group said it was looking to tap new younger talent. In his speech, Zhang said he wants to recruit talent from other countries and adopt “global thinking....

The watch comes with over 100 exercise modes, more sensors and measurement tools, plus 10 ATM water resistance. The Amazfit T-Rex Pro sports a round HD AMOLED always-on display, measuring 1.3in.

Devices with Alexa fully built-in contain microphones and speakers so you can use them on their own, while ones with it integrated require an Echo (£149) to interact. We’re sticking to built-in here. Logitech ZeroTouch This phone mount for your car comes in two versions. One sticks to your dashboard, and another to an air vent. The latter is cheaper, and we’ve even seen it on sale at Carphone Warehouse for £24....
For one day only you can get both GHD products for the money you’d usually spend on one, with the Air Hair Dryer ( reviewed) retailing at £99 and the Original Styler at £109. There are also separate deals on each product, but for the biggest saving of all you need to buy the two together. The Original IV Styler is GHD’s original and best-loved ceramic straightener. It’s an everyday styler for the sleekest, smoothest, shiniest locks, thanks to a rounded barrel and floating plates that can heat up to 185 degrees....
It’s dinky and has a cute circular screen on which it displays a clock, song lyrics, a weather forecast and a lot more. Alexa works well as an audio-only device, but the screen allows her to give you more information or, if not more, then prettier information. It’s more expensive than a second-generation Echo, which costs £89.99, but when you factor in the screen it makes sense and isn’t bad value at all....
We’ve been running Android Lollipop for a few months now, back when it was known only as Android L. We’ve also tested out the increased battery life, but Lollipop is no faster than KitKat. Google launched Android 4.4 KitKat last September and then showed off Android L at its I/O 2014 developer conference before officially announcing its final name and version number on 15 October. Android 5.1 Lollipop update UK release date According to AndroidPit, Android 5....
As Intego notes, the Java for OS X 2012-002 update appears to be same as the one Apple issued earlier this week, but the latest update is aimed only at Max OS X Lion users. It’s possible, Intego says, that Apple found a glitch in the first update that would make a new release necessary. The update “delivers improved compatibility, security and reliability by updating Java SE 6 to Java 1....
During the launch yesterday, Jobs called netbooks ‘cheap laptops’ that tried but failed to create a third category between smartphones and laptops. “The problem is that netbooks aren’t better than anything,” Jobs said. Au contraire, said commentators, who called the iPad nothing more than an overgrown iPod Touch. Others suggested Apple should have launched an iNetbook instead. ABI Research analyst Jeff Orr said the iPad is no sure thing. “Several functions – front-facing and still/video cameras, external storage interfaces, support for Flash in the browser – are absent,” he wrote in a research note....
The film is out in UK cinemas from 12 December, though the US has to wait an extra week or so until 21 December for its chance to watch.

Check out our guide to the film’s post-credit scenes to find out if it’s worth sticking around at the end or not too....

However, to take advantage of the faster and more reliable speeds the Wi-Fi 6 standard offers you, you’re going to need a Wi-Fi 6 router.

In addition to being a standalone device, this router can be set up to work as the main node in a mesh system, so you can add more devices if you don’t quite have the budget to stretch to a fully-fledged mesh Wi-Fi network system just yet....

The ATH-WS99 is a new addition to the company’s extensive line of over 70 listed models of headphones, earphones and headsets. It’s a large-driver design, styled in black plastic with polished metal details. See all audio reviews. The headphones are described as acoustically sealed, said to minimise bass sound leakage, although they’re not really a closed-back design – some midrange energy did leak out of the ‘double air chamber system’, making them less suitable as a headphone to use on public transport....
