Before the release of the fresh Windows 10 May 2019 Update, Microsoft traditionally updated the page with processor requirements. Now it features Windows 10 1903, also known as the May update. In terms of hardware, nothing has changed. The operating system still supports Intel processors up to the ninth generation, Intel Xeon E-21xx, Atom J4xxx/J5xxx, Atom N4xxx/N5xxx, Celeron, Pentium, processors […]
The client wanted VDI. They were very interested in the SimpliVity + Citrix Virtual Desktop combination. For all operators, office employees across the cities, and so on. There are five thousand users just in the first wave of migration, so they insisted on load testing. VDI can start to lag or could run smoothly — and this doesn't always happen due to problems with […]
I'm back to talking about data leaks, but this time I'll share a bit about the afterlife of IT projects through two recent discoveries. During database security audits, it's often the case that you find servers (I wrote about how to search for databases in my blog) belonging to projects that have long (or not so long) left our world. Such projects even continue to mimic […]

The 'picture-in-picture' feature appeared in Chromium browsers last month. Now Google is actively enhancing it. The latest improvement includes support for 'silent videos' in this mode. In other words, it means muting the sound in the video shown in a separate window. The new feature allows you to mute the sound of the video when selecting 'Picture in Picture' […]

The driver also increases performance in Strange Brigade by 13% when using the low-level Vulkan API (with previous optimizations, the game now runs 21% faster in Vulkan mode than under DirectX 12) and […]
A former senior Mozilla executive has accused Google of deliberate and systematic sabotage of Firefox over the past decade to accelerate the transition to Chrome. This isn’t the first time such accusations have been made against Google; however, it is the first time there are claims of a coordinated plan by Google involving minor errors on its sites that would only manifest for users […]
Owners of solar power plants may face the need to manage energy consumption of end devices, as reducing consumption can extend battery life in the evening and during cloudy weather, as well as avoid data loss in the event of a sudden shutdown. Most modern computers allow adjustment of CPU frequency, which leads to reduced performance on one hand and […]
A new release of the NeoPG project has been prepared, which develops a fork of the GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) toolkit with tools for data encryption, working with electronic signatures, managing keys, and accessing public key storage. Key differences of NeoPG include significant code cleanup from outdated algorithm implementations, a transition from the C language to C++11, and a redesign of the source code structure for easier maintenance […]
