boy have I got a deal for you eight pieces of tech news for just
$4.99 and by $4.99 I'm mean free it's understandable
that whenever there's a new Windows release many people don't want wholesale
changes forced on them and while Windows 11 doesn't appear to be dramatically
different from Windows 10 there are enough changes to make some folks wish
they could go back thankfully it looks like Microsoft will make it relatively
simple to migrate back to Windows 10 if you want at least for a short one while
after upgrading you will have 10 days to revert to Windows 10 without losing any
of your files or data not a ton of time
but definitely more than the zero days we got with the last major Windows roll
out to do so all you need to do is go to the update and security section of the
settings app and select the option to revert to Windows 10 but if you wait
longer than 10 days your only option is a clean install hopefully Windows 11
won't be unbearable and this will be a moot point for most folks
we don't need a repeat of the Windows Vista debacle you know what just switch
to Linux users cheating in online games has long been an annoyance and the tools
used to detect and ban them have caused problems of their own as well just ask
anyone who run Linux but now there's an even more irritating layer to the war
involving cheaters honest players and developers machine learning a new cheat
for Call of Duty is going around that uses machine learning to score kills as
long as the player just points their weapon close to the intended target the
che can virtually guarantee a Kill by using AI to line up the perfect shot a
assist Bots have been around for a long time but this one is overpowered since
it uses the aformentioned machine learning and it can even be used on a
console by connecting it to a PC notable since consoles have typically been less
vulnerable to cheating Activision is trying to get the site that's Distributing it taken down but in the
meantime don't be surprised if one of your online opponents seems inhumanly
good we haven't seen an update to the iPad Mini since 2019 this a while ago
now but that might be changing this fall as a report from Bloomberg says to
expect the biggest redesign ever of the Mini version of Apple's Flagship tablet
this comes on the heels of noted Apple Insider Ming quo missing on his
prediction that we'd see the new iPad Mini in the first half of this year but
it looks like we won't have to wait too much longer the new mini will be similar
to the current iPad Air and feature a newer CPU which we think would mean the
A14 bionic system on a chip that same
report also indicates that apple is working on a bigger iMac to give
consumers an alternative to the current 24-in models the new IMAX would be
powered by an updated Apple silicon chip such as the m1x or the m2x currently the
only larger IMAX Apple's offering still have Intel CPUs so you might want to
wait a little bit longer before upgrading or you know just by a second
monitor on to the quick bits there's no other thing here I don't know why John
where's the jokes anyway oh right the joke is Samsung's unpacked Samsung's

number of leaks showing off several new devices including two new Galaxy

getting expanded to a 100 countries after limited releases in India and the
United States YouTube shorts is Google's way of competing with Tik Tok which
ironically let users post longer videos recently I guess we're all just really
copying each other at the end of the day if you're not the kind of person that
wants your online conversations to stick around indefinitely then you finally

users the option to enable disappearing chats similar to what you'd see on
Snapchat the Fe Fe has already been available on Android for a few weeks and

screenshotted so try not to S insults about your boss to an unsympathetic
