Microsoft has added another feature to the list of deprecated Windows features. After tagging Paint 3D and Adobe Type1 fonts as deprecated in August 2024, it set its eyes on legacy DRM features this time.

DRM refers to Digital Rights Management. It is used to allow playback of protected media.

Deprecation means that the feature will be removed eventually from Windows. Microsoft does not say when this is going to happen for the mentioned features.

Internet Archive has announced that it has entered a partnership with Google to display links to archived versions of webpages in Google Search. This will help users see what a webpage's contents looked like in the past.

Microsoft released security updates for all supported versions of its Windows operating system and other company products a moment ago. The updates are already available via Windows Updates and other update management systems.

Every version of Windows is someday reaching its end of life. For Windows 11, that is after two years for consumer-based editions of the operating system.

A few things may happen when a version of Windows 11 reaches end of life:

Apple has announced the iPhone 16 series. Here's everything you need to know about the most anticipated phones of 2024.

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus

Let's start with the regular versions. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus now have an Action button (instead of the silent/mute switch), which was previously exclusive to the Pro versions. In addition to this, both of the non-Pro models have gained a macro lens for the rear camera array.

Firefox 115 is the last version of the Firefox web browser that is compatible with several old versions of Windows or macOS. This affects Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, and macOS 10.12 to 10.14.

Any attempt to install Firefox 116 or newer on these devices is unsuccessful.

Tired of seeing irrelevant news topics on Microsoft Edge's New Tab page? Well, there is an easy fix for that.

Every month, dozens of articles appear online that reveal how much the usage of a particular version of Windows has grown or fallen. Most use Steam data and the data that Statcounter provide to back up the claims.

If you run extensions in Google Chrome, you may one day find yourself without access to some of them. This is true for third-party extensions, but also some extensions that Google created for Chrome.

What is happening? Google is changing the extensions system for Google Chrome. Old extensions that are not updated to the new system won't work anymore. These will be deactivated and eventually removed from the browser.

Microsoft Exchange Servers play an important role in corporate communications. They are also not immune from issues such as accidental or intentional mailbox deletions, which can lead to a significant amount of data loss. The intentional or unintentional removal of a mailbox may erase vital information and eliminate crucial lines of communication within a business.
