Alongside new Surface hardware in 2021, Microsoft released its first dedicated accessibility accessories. The Surface Adaptive Kit uses a few simple tools to make almost any laptop easier to use, while the upcoming Microsoft Adaptive Accessories focus on simplifying the keyboard and mouse experience. But making the software as simple as possible is just as important. Windows 11 has a dedicated accessibility section within Settings, but there are a few other options you might not be aware of....

According to a new report from Windows Central, Microsoft is shifting to a three-year update cycle for major versions of Windows. That suggests Windows 12 will be released in 2024, resuming a similar schedule to the one seen pre-Windows 10. Reports like these should always be taken with a pinch of salt, but author Zac Bowden has a strong track record for Windows news. Another significant change concerns the delivery of new features....

Producing a successor to that revolutionary handset was always going to be a tough job for Xiaomi, but in the Mi Mix 2 it has returned a gorgeous flagship that is more manageable in the hand and significantly faster. It also features the same primary camera as the company’s Mi6, which is a good thing. Earlier today (7 November), Xiaomi held a launch event in Madrid, Spain in which it said both the Mi A1 and the Mi Mix 2 would go on sale there later this month....

Zeus typically steals online banking credentials and then uses that information to move money out of internet accounts. In the past year, however, Gary Warner, director of research in computer forensics with the University of Alabama, who has been closely monitoring the various criminal groups that use Zeus, has seen some hackers also try to figure out what companies their victims work for. In some cases, the criminals will pop up a fake online bank login screen that asks the victim for a phone number and the name of his employer....

You might hate me, but I think Superman, Thor, or Wonder Woman are amazing but their power is a huge advantage to fight crime. On the other hand, Batman knows that the lack of superpower is his weakness but he still goes out to save the day. When it comes to sacrificing for other’s life, Batman never backs down. This is the main reason why I like Batman as a superhero and as a human....

I immediately looked for a way to unblock the WhatsApp number and have a proper discussion to resolve the misunderstanding. Since she was blocking me on every social media account, I decided to move on and ignore her completely. However, how can I stay away from the only girl that means so much to me? I came across various WhatsApp tips and tricks to unblock yourself on WhatsApp when someone blocked you....

The new Iconia One 8 will satisfy those looking for a medium size device on a budget. Also see: Best new tablets coming in 2016.

In terms of design there is nothing overly different about the Acer Liquid E3. It has a decent sized 4.7-inch screen and not too much bezel to the left and right of the display. It’s a nice weight too, at 135g, in your hands it feels solid, compact and impressive. See also: Sony Xperia Z2 review. The 4.7-inch IPS screen is one of this phone’s best attributes, boasting a really good 312ppi from its 720 x 1280 pixels....

If you want to find out what Revo Build’s predecessor was like, read: Revo One RL85 review Acer Revo Build hands on review: Design and build The key selling point of the Acer Revo Build is its modular design. It’s an interesting concept, and depending on how the additional “Blocks” are priced, it could pave the way for a new way for consumers with little to no PC building knowledge to build and customise computers to their own needs....

Adata SE730 250GB review: Price The one snag is price. But while it’s more expensive than a lot of portable SSDs, the extra cost is worth it. As it’s so new, it’s not widely available and we expect the price to drop below £100 soon. At the time of writing, it cost 46p per GB, making it more expensive than the SanDisk Extreme 500 and Samsung T3. You can buy it from CCL Online for £106....

Alexa can answer your questions like Siri or the Google Assistant in Google Home, as well as giving you a news and weather briefing. If you have some smart home equipment such as a Nest thermostat or Philips Hue lights, Alexa can often control these too once you’ve enabled the appropriate Skills. Note: The Echo has now been discontinued and replaced by a second-generation version: see our Echo 2 review for more....

What is the Echo Spot? It has a 2.5in display, which usually serves for telling the time, but the Echo Spot can also be used for making hands-free calls and video calls. Audio quality from the Spot won’t be amazing, but you can hook up an external speaker via Bluetooth or AUX. When is the Echo Spot release date? The Echo Spot is now available in the UK as well as the US....

The worry is that these four goliaths of modern technology are exerting monopolising behaviour on the sector that is harming industry competition. This can affect many different areas such as the price of products for consumers and the way companies hire. Mark Zuckerberg will be familiar with the proceedings after his much-publicised Senate hearing in April 2018 following the Cambridge Analytica scandal. In a statement, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and Antitrust Subcommittee Chairman David Cicilline said: “Since last June, the Subcommittee has been investigating the dominance of a small number of digital platforms and the adequacy of existing antitrust laws and enforcements....

iPhone 6 review: UK price The iPhone 6 is the smaller of Apple’s two iPhones released in 2014. It runs the latest Apple mobile operating system: iOS 9. Originally, the iPhone 6 started at £539 for the 16GB model, but now that it’s a year old and a newer iPhone is available, Apple has reduced the starting price to £459. You will likely need more space than 16GB (the actual usable space is closer to 12GB which will quickly fill with apps, photos, videos and music), and the 64GB will set you back £539, but you’ll thank yourself for spending the extra for that superior stoarge capacity....

One of the most interesting points to come of this is that when these machines eventually ship (Apple says the first one will be this year), they will be able to technically run iOS apps natively within macOS. Apple said that from the off, people using ARM-powered Macs will be able to install iOS apps directly from the Mac App Store. This is possible because iPhone and iPad apps were built on the same silicon used in the new ARM for Mac architecture....
