      Cela fait 30 ans que Windows oublie de mettre à jour son outil de formatage

      news.movim.eu / Numerama · Tuesday, 26 March - 15:35

    Un informaticien qui a travaillé sur Windows, David Plummer, a livré une anecdote sur le système d'exploitation. L'outil dédié au formatage a été développé initialement dans une version provisoire, qui aurait dû être actualisée par la suite. Or, la mise à jour n'a jamais eu lieu. Et depuis, la bévue est restée.

      Nearby Share – Le Airdrop officiel d’Android

      news.movim.eu / Korben · Friday, 12 January - 08:00 · 1 minute

    Afin d’offrir enfin une expérience de qualité à ses utilisateurs, en ce qui concerne le partage de fichiers, Google propose maintenant depuis quelque mois Nearby Share.

    Pour résumer en 3 mots : « Airdrop pour Android «

    Cet outil est disponible sur les appareils Android et, également sur les ordinateurs Windows (64 bits, Windows 10 et supérieur). Pour l’utiliser sur Android, vérifiez simplement que votre version est à jour dans les paramètres de l’appareil. Et hop, vous êtes prêt à partager en toute simplicité !

    Avant de pouvoir transférer vos dick pics et autres documents d’importance, n’oubliez pas d’activer le Bluetooth et la géolocalisation. Une fois que c’est fait, y’a plus qu’à rapprocher vos appareils. Pas besoin d’être collés l’un à l’autre, mais tenez-vous à une distance raisonnable, disons 5 mètres max. Vous pourrez ainsi partager vos fichiers avec les appareils « découvrables » autour de vous.

    Pour en savoir plus sur Nearby Share, je vous invite à consulter le site officiel ici .

    Rien à dire de plus, le FUTUR EST EN MARCHE pour les possesseurs d’Android qui vont pouvoir enfin utiliser leur smartphone d’une manière respectable, sans avoir à souiller leur âme à chaque fois qu’ils veulent s’envoyer un fichier à eux-même. ^^

      Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

    Microsoft pushed throughout 2023 to add generative AI capabilities to its software , even extending its new Copilot AI assistant to Windows 10 late last year . Now, those efforts to transform PCs at a software level is extending to the hardware: Microsoft is adding a dedicated Copilot key to PC keyboards, adjusting the standard Windows keyboard layout for the first time since the Windows key first appeared on its Natural Keyboard in 1994 .

    The Copilot key will, predictably, open up the Copilot generative AI assistant within Windows 10 and Windows 11. On an up-to-date Windows PC with Copilot enabled, you can currently do the same thing by pressing Windows + C. For PCs without Copilot enabled, including those that aren't signed into Microsoft accounts, the Copilot key will open Windows Search instead (though this is sort of redundant, since pressing the Windows key and then typing directly into the Start menu also activates the Search function).

    A quick Microsoft demo video shows the Copilot key in between the cluster of arrow keys and the right Alt button, a place where many keyboards usually put a menu button, a right Ctrl key, another Windows key, or something similar. The exact positioning, and the key being replaced, may vary depending on the size and layout of the keyboard.

      Microsoft releases downloadable tool to fix phantom HP printer installations

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Tuesday, 19 December - 20:16 · 1 minute

    The HP LaserJet M106w is one of the printer models that is mysteriously appearing for some users in Windows 10 and 11.

    Earlier this month, Microsoft disclosed an odd printer bug that was affecting some users of Windows 10, Windows 11, and various Windows Server products. Affected PCs were seeing an HP printer installed, usually an HP LaserJet M101-M106, even when they weren’t actually using any kind of HP printer. This bug could overwrite the settings for whatever printer the user actually did have installed and also prompted the installation of an HP Smart printer app from the Microsoft Store.

    Microsoft still hasn't shared the root cause of the problem, though it did make it clear that the problem wasn't HP's fault. Now, the company has released a fix for anyone whose PC was affected by the bug, though as of this writing it requires users to download and run a dedicated troubleshooting tool available from Microsoft's support site.

    The December 2023 Microsoft Printer Metadata Troubleshooter Tool is available for all affected Windows versions, and it will remove all references to the phantom HP LaserJet model (as long as you don't actually have one installed, anyway). The tool will also remove the HP Smart app as long as you don't have an HP printer attached and the app was installed after November 25, presumably the date that the bug began affecting systems. These steps should fix the issue for anyone without an HP printer without breaking anything for people who do use HP printers.

      Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them

    Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them

    Enlarge (credit: Microsoft)

    Windows 10's end-of-support date is October 14, 2025. That's the day that most Windows 10 PCs will receive their last security update and the date when most people should find a way to move to Windows 11 to ensure that they stay secure.

    As it has done for other stubbornly popular versions of Windows, though, Microsoft is offering a reprieve for those who want or need to stay on Windows 10: three additional years of security updates , provided to those who can pay for the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program.

    The initial announcement, written by Windows Servicing and Delivery Principal Product Manager Jason Leznek, spends most of its time encouraging users and businesses to upgrade to Windows 11 rather than staying on 10, either by updating their current computers, upgrading to new PCs or transitioning to a Windows 365 cloud-based PC instead.
