Microsoft’s Temporary Fix for Windows 10’s Printer Problems If you missed the beginning of this story, it all began when a Windows 10 update began causing printer issues. It didn’t affect every printer, but users complained that Kyocera, Ricoh, and Zebra-brand printers would now cause their computers to BSOD when they tried to print a document. Now, a Microsoft spokesperson approached Bleeping Computer with a statement on this predicament. Microsoft knows that when you try to print something out after the latest update, “you might receive an APC_INDEX_MISMATCH error with a blue screen....

However, along with the essential Kinect, one of the remaining complaints from detractors is that nothing would stop Microsoft from reinstating those very same DRM policies that caused such a ruckus when the system was announced. To dispute that notion, Albert Penello, Microsoft Director of Product Planning, took to NeoGAF. When talking about the possibility of DRM coming back, he said: Panello claims that the DRM was essential to the Xbox One because there had been no security on a game’s disc, making it easy to pirate:...

The deal follows a previous contract between the military and Microsoft made in 2018 that gave Microsoft $480 million for developing a prototype technology called the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). The technology is based on Microsoft’s HoloLens “mixed-reality” headsets and Azure Cloud Service technologies. The new deal involves the manufacturing of the final version of the IVAS headsets that soldiers will use. Microsoft demoed an early version of the HoloLens headsets at E3 2015, though the company never pursued achieving mainstream commercial success with the product....

Besides, like my mum always used to say, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and with 10th-gen Intel Core processors and Iris Plus graphics now present, the Surface Pro 7 certainly has a lot going for it. Pricing and availability The Surface Pro 7 range starts at £799/$749 and goes up to a whopping £2,249/$2,299 depending on the processor/RAM/storage configuration you opt for. The cheapest is the Intel Core i3 model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but it’s hard to recommend with lacking power and the omission of the Iris Plus graphics that make the other models perform so well....

The wait for the ability to record television for later viewing seems to be nearing an end, however, as one industry blogger states the company is now doing internal testing for the feature, indicative of an upcoming release window. The news of the latest rounds of testing come courtesy of Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott, who had previously speculated that DVR features may be introduced in 2015. While Thurrott obviously missed the mark in regards to 2015, Microsoft did end up confirming that free DVR would be coming to the Xbox One in 2016 during the Gamescom conference last year....

Shortly after it was announced that 13 men associated with far-right militia groups had been arrested on federal and state charges after planning to kidnap the governor, Whitmer said that Trump’s rhetoric had encouraged groups like those involved in her attempted kidnapping. “Just last week, the president of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two militia groups,” Whitmer said during a news briefing, referring to Trump’s comments during his debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden....

In the track, he imagines presenting Whitmer with Cartier Buffalo sunglasses—a status symbol—and criticizes President Trump and anti-lockdown protesters. He also praises Whitmer’s response to the pandemic. He raps: “All that protesting was irrelevant, Big Gretch ain’t trying to hear ya’ll or the president, how we gon’ take orders from a non-resident? Talking about ‘It’s safe,’ but he ain’t coming with the evidence....

The researchers estimate that the oceans could be home to as many as 125 trillion microplastic particles, according to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution. The tiny pieces of plastic—usually defined as plastic pieces measuring less than 5 millimeters across, according to the most recognized definition—are ubiquitous in the marine environment. However, accurately classifying and quantifying microplastics in the oceans has proven challenging for researchers. Typically, scientists use nets with a mesh size of 333 micrometers to sample microplastic particles in the water, but these do not account for smaller pieces of plastic debris....
