Samsung to hit the market on this Valentine’s Day

Samsung announced its new arrival update last Tuesday at a product event launch in San Francisco. This stands as their second attempt on phones with bendable screens & clamshell designs. The launch stands unique from the rest edition with an L shape structure that can be flipped back to the traditional one. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip starts at the price of $ 1380.

Dead End for Windows 7 Users

After ruling the OS platforms flawlessly for the past eleven years, Windows 7 has now reached the end of life phase. Window 7 users will no longer be offered with the security fixes from Microsoft, and there is nothing to be shocked about this. As they ended the mainstream support in early 2015 and also reduced its support years then.

Windows 7 users can enjoy the free OS services if the computing system falls under the following criteria

Software: Windows 7 SP1

Processor: 1GHz or faster processor

RAM: 1GB for 32-bit or 2GB for 64-bit

Hard disk space: 16GB for 32-bit OS or 20GB for 64-bit OS

Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver

Display: 800 x 600 resolution

Hence, it’s time for the Windows 7 loyal users to bid bye to the old operating system and upgrade to Windows 10.

Chrome Getting Streamlined

Chrome is the most popular browser that is in use for quite a long time. In spite of Chrome being used widely, it holds back a few downsides like high battery and increased RAM consumption. Accounting for this, back in August 2019, Microsoft figured out a way to prevent random disk caching, while users watch videos. This approach possibly reduces Chrome’s power consumption and increases battery life. On stating this, Google has come forward to experiment with the new features and possibilities proposed by Microsoft.
